Adventure brief

Southern Beach Hopping - Catamaran

Step aboard a private catamaran with Set Sail Mykonos and chart a course to the tranquil southern beaches, where crystal-clear waters await and crowds are a distant memory. This six-hour sailing journey blends freedom, comfort, and stunning coastal scenery.

Mykonos, Greece, famed for its whitewashed buildings and vibrant nightlife, also offers a striking natural contrast along its southern coastline where turquoise waters lap sandy shores scattered with hidden coves and quiet beaches. Set Sail Mykonos presents a private catamaran trip that brings this part of the island vividly to life. On this six-hour sailing adventure, you navigate the lesser-trafficked southern beaches—Ornos, Platys Gialos, Super Paradise, Elia, Kalo Livadi, and Kalafati—granting guests exclusive access to crystal-clear waters far from the crowds.

Departing from Tourlos harbor, the experience is anchored by a fully licensed English-speaking skipper and an assistant, ensuring safety and a seamless journey. Guests have the freedom to swim directly from the yacht into the Aegean’s refreshing embrace or to reach the shore and mingle in the inviting sandy stretches. The inclusion of snorkeling gear invites exploration below the waterline where vibrant marine life thrives amid rocky reefs and underwater meadows.

Aboard, a carefully prepared lunch and a selection of beers, wines, soft drinks, and water complement the serene pace of the day. Stand-up paddleboards (SUPs) enhance the engagement with the water, available when the weather permits. This balance of structured comfort and open freedom defines what makes Set Sail Mykonos a standout on an island known for its energetic party scene.

Beyond the trip itself, this private charter respects the local environment by offering small group sizes and a peaceful, conservation-minded approach to enjoying Mykonos’ coastal treasures. Perfect for families, couples, or small groups, the Southern Beach Hopping catamaran trip offers a different side of Mykonos—where the sea commands attention and moments of solitude and connection with nature become effortlessly memorable.
