Sunset sail from Naxos
Three hours under sail into the Naxian sunset — the Portara, the light, a glass on deck.
Everything on board, everything in the price.
A small-group sailing day — eight guests maximum, a captain who knows the route, and a boat that still actually sails.
- Licensed skipper
- Fuel and moorings
- Glass of local wine
- Snacks on board
- Photos from your sail
- Dinner ashore
What makes this one different.
- Sail under the Portara as the sun drops
- A glass of local wine on deck
- Live light — not a photo filter
- Small group, never more than eight
- Back by dinner
A typical 3 hours.
Your captain adjusts for wind and sea in the morning — the shape stays the same.
- 17:30
Cast off
Meet at Rendez Vous café. A short briefing, then out of the old harbour under sail.
- 18:15
Portara pass
We sail beneath the Portara as the sun moves toward the horizon.
- 19:00
Golden hour
Anchor off the Grotta coast. A glass of wine on deck; the light does the rest.
- 20:30
Return
Back in port as Naxos Town lights come on.
Routes finalise each morning based on the meltemi. We prioritise comfort and safety — and the better bay.
Three promises we hold ourselves to.
We'd rather cancel than push a bad-weather day. You'd rather book knowing that.
Up to 48 hours before departure.
If we cancel for weather, you’re refunded in full.
No middlemen, no booking fees, deal with the captain.

Common questions.
How dressy is it?
Casual. Bring a light layer — the wind at sunset is cooler than in town.
Is the Portara visible from the water?
Yes — sailing past it at sunset is the whole point.
Secure your day at sea.
Our boat carries eight. Most summer dates fill a week ahead.
