The Experience
Before You Go
Bring ID and paperwork
You’ll need passport or ID on board for bookings—crew may check details before departure.
Pack motion-sickness remedies
Mediterranean afternoons can be choppy; take anti-nausea meds before boarding if you’re prone to seasickness.
Wear non-slip shoes
Decks get wet during fishing and swimming—closed non-slip footwear improves footing and safety.
Protect from the sun
Bring high-SPF sunscreen, a wide-brim hat, and polarized sunglasses for long exposure on reflective water.

Conservation Note
Avoid anchoring on seagrass beds (Posidonia) and take all waste back to port; small-boat tourism can protect local fisheries when operators follow catch-and-release or size guidelines.
The Gulf of Porto Rafti has long supported small-scale fishing and coastal village life tied to Markopoulo and greater Attica; locals still fish these sheltered waters seasonally.
