Athens Boat Tour & Boat Rental — Crewed Wally, Pardo & Riva from Astir Marina & Glyfada

A private boat trip from Glyfada or Astir Marina starts from around €1,950 for a sunset run, €2,650 for a half-day and €3,100 for a full day, depending on the boat. That is the whole boat for your party only — crew, fuel for the planned route, VAT and refreshments included — not a per-person ticket. Tell your broker the date and party size and we will quote the right boat.

We depart from Astir Marina Vouliagmeni, Glyfada and Lavrio, and can collect you from most Athens Riviera hotels. A typical day cruises the Riviera and the Saronic islands — Aegina, Moni and Cape Sounio under the Temple of Poseidon — or runs further to Hydra. The route is yours to shape with the crew, not a fixed schedule.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes — let your broker know in advance so the crew can chill, plate or accommodate. Outside catering is also available for full-day bookings.

Welcome. Lifejackets in sizes XS up are aboard. Tell us ages so the crew briefs the day appropriately.

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.

Always. We never share a day-tour boat between unrelated guests.

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.

Aris Drivas Yachting has been brokering Mediterranean charters since 1972. Where most Athens boat tours are sold as tickets, every booking here is a private boat rental 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.
