Sailing trips · NAXOS SAILING TRIPS
Good naxos sailing trips fill up weeks ahead and the small-group boats go first. Below: the 9 to book early, what each includes on board and how they differ.
Join Naxos Yachting for a seven-hour catamaran cruise from Naxos at 9:30 am. Swim and snorkel at quiet coves, enjoy locally prepared Greek lunch with wine, beer, raki, snacks, and coffee, and return to the harbor by late afternoon. Boats hold up to 25 people.
“Being out in the crystal clear waters viewing Naxos was wonderful. The crew was very hospitable and meeting other travelers was fun.”
Spend up to seven hours aboard an Actionseaze catamaran from Naxos, with stops near Naxos, Paros, or nearby islands for swimming and snorkeling. Crew members such as Dimitris, Mike, and Nikos serve Greek lunch, snacks, fruit, coffee, beer, wine, and soft drinks. Private tours add a paddleboard and underwater scooter.
“Brilliant day- perfect conditions- flat as a mirror. Highly recommended- the two crew guys were fantastic.”
Spend seven hours aboard a shared catamaran from Naxos, with stops for swimming and snorkeling around Naxos or Paros. The crew serves a traditional onboard lunch, snacks, coffee, water, local wine, and beer. Captain Izzy and first mate Cornelius have both received warm praise for their friendly, careful service.
“Fantastic experience.Well fed , well watered and absolutely stunning views and turquoise water. Thanks captain and co x”
Spend 150 to 390 minutes aboard a Naxos Yachting catamaran with an English-speaking crew such as Anna, Thomas, or Andreas. Swim and snorkel in sheltered coves, eat a traditional onboard lunch, and relax with wine, beer, raki, coffee, fruit, and cake.
“The crew was wonderful! Akis did a great job! The food and drinks were top notch.”
Spend 9.5 hours aboard Xanemo’s small sailing boat with a skipper and hostess, visiting quiet bays around Naxos and the Small Cyclades. Expect three swim and snorkel stops, a full lunch, drinks, and a route shaped by the wind. Crew names vary, including Panos, Olga, Alex, and others.
“The best thing we did during our Naxos stay. Christos and Tommy were great hosts and did well to manage our swimming stops in calmer areas out of the wind. It is a smaller group than some other operators - which is what we were after - and we definitely made the right choice. A great day and the best way to see the beautiful waters around Naxos.”
Spend 7.5 hours aboard the Santa Maria, a spacious Lagoon 450F catamaran sailing from Naxos. Swim at clear-water beaches around Naxos or Paros, use the onboard masks and flippers, and enjoy homemade moussaka, Greek salad, drinks, and snacks served by the crew.
“Amazing day on the ocean outside Naxos. Great food, drinks and company. 10/10 would recommend”
Join George and the crew aboard the yacht Annabella for a full day from Naxos. Depending on wind and passenger wishes, you may sail to Rina Cave, Kalados Bay, Schinoussa, Irakleia, Paros, the Blue Lagoon, or Holed Cave, with swimming, snorkeling, snacks, and optional sailing lessons.
“Amazing day beginning to end. Large comfortable boat, nice snacks (cheese pies) and drinks, wonderful views, 3 stops in clear bays for swimming, lunch at a nice marina with freshly caught fish (not included) and a guide, George, very interested in your happiness. He even creates a dvd with pictures and video for you.”
Spend nine hours aboard a well-kept 49-foot Jeanneau with skipper Alex and his crew, sailing from Naxos toward Rina Cave, Schinousa, Iraklia, and quiet southern coves. You get swimming, snorkeling, fresh food, fruit, wine, beer, and room to relax with no more than nine adults on board.
“We went on this boat day with our family, 6 of us in total all adults. It was a very chilled and relaxed vibe, plenty of space for everyone to relax. Staff super accommodating and just lets you be and relax, we genuinely felt like we were on the boat by ourselves. Plenty of drink and food, chilled music playing in the background. Boat is very clean and pristine. We highly recommend this experience as it was worth it.”
Take a modern, air-conditioned catamaran from Naxos to Mykonos, then enjoy six hours on your own in Chora. Walk through the alleys to Little Venice and the windmills, shop, visit galleries, or stop for coffee. An English-speaking host or greeter is available, but no guided town tour is included.
“"A day trip to Mykonos was perfect. Everything worked out great."”
Pick the boat, the hour on the water or the country.
