Private Boat Tours in Athens — Crewed Wally, Pardo & Riva from Astir Marina & Glyfada
Half-day, full-day and sunset cruises along the Athens Riviera and Saronic islands. Five-star crew, premium provisions, intimate fleet — limited to six guests for comfort.
A private day on a hand-picked fleet of luxury powerboats — Wally, Pardo, Riva, De Antonio and Fairline — departing from Astir Marina Vouliagmeni, Glyfada and Lavrio. Cruise the Athens Riviera and the Saronic islands at your own pace, with a private crew of two.
This is not a shared cruise or a mass-market boat tour. The boats are limited to six guests for comfort. The crew are ex-superyacht professionals trained to brokerage standards. The food is provisioned from the same suppliers that stock our weekly-charter yachts. The route is planned around your day and the weather, not a fixed schedule.
Aris Drivas Yachting has been brokering Mediterranean yacht charters since 1972. The day-tour fleet is operated by a long-standing Athens partner; the booking, the crew briefing and the guest experience are managed end-to-end by your ADY broker. One point of contact, brokerage standards throughout.

Questions
How much notice do I need to book?+
For peak summer weekends, two weeks is comfortable; mid-week dates often open up 48 hours ahead. Same-day enquiries are welcome and answered within the hour during business hours.
What happens if the weather turns?+
We track the forecast for 48 hours before departure. If conditions are unsafe or materially below the experience you booked, we offer a date change at no charge or a full refund, your choice.
Can I be picked up from my hotel?+
Yes — most Riviera hotels (Four Seasons Astir Palace, Cape Sounio Resort, Grand Hyatt, Hotel Grande Bretagne and others) are arranged on request. Tell your broker where you're staying.
How many guests can come?+
Eight on the larger boats, six on the smaller Pardo 38, six on the Wally One 44. We typically cap at six for comfort regardless of protocol — ask if your party is larger.
Can I bring food, drink, or a cake?+
Yes — let your broker know in advance so the crew can chill, plate or accommodate. Outside catering is also available for full-day bookings.
Are children OK?+
Welcome. Lifejackets in sizes XS up are aboard. Tell us ages so the crew briefs the day appropriately.
Do you do one-way transfers (Athens → Hydra, Athens → Mykonos)?+
Yes — usually as a same-day cruise that finishes at your destination. Mykonos is feasible in good weather; Hydra is straightforward. Quoted separately because they're longer days and add fuel.
Is the boat fully private?+
Always. We never share a day-tour boat between unrelated guests.
What is the cancellation policy?+
100% refund if cancelled more than 15 days before departure; 50% refund between 8 and 15 days; no refund within 8 days of departure. A €200 dossier fee always applies. Weather-related cancellations are exempt — see the weather question above.
What makes ADY different from other day-tour operators in Athens?+
Aris Drivas Yachting has been brokering Mediterranean charters since 1972. Every day-tour booking is handled by a named broker end-to-end, with the same crew briefings, provisioning standards and follow-up we apply to weekly charter. You get a brokerage relationship, not a transaction.
