Athens Sunset Catamaran: Private Greek Gastronomy & Snorkel Cruise
Sail the Athenian Riviera on a private catamaran at sunset, combining seafood and regional dishes prepared by a chef with snorkeling, SUP, and coastal stories from an experienced crew. Expect a relaxed six-hour cruise geared to comfort and local flavor.
The Experience
Before You Go
Book sunset timing
Sunset windows book fast—reserve at least a week ahead during summer to guarantee evening light and calm seas.
Bring motion-sickness remedies
Even on calm days, light chop can unsettle some—carry ginger, patches, or medication if you’re prone to seasickness.
Sun protection matters
Long exposures on open decks require high-SPF sunscreen, a wide-brim hat, and UV sunglasses—reapply after swimming.
Carry ID and lightweight layers
Greek regulations require ID for boarding; evenings can cool on the water so bring a windproof layer.
