Our sailing trip from Paros leaves from Piso Livadi every day taking you sailing for a full day in an exclusive itinerary around the Small Cyclades island complex, weather permitting. As we leave Paros behind, we are heading towards the island of Irakleia, where a stop in a secluded cove will give you the change to snorkel around a WW2 wrecked plane. Schoinousa or Koufonissia are planned for our next stop, where after a swim in the turquoise colored waters you’ll be served lunch prepared by our crew. Later in the afternoon, a short swim stop off Naxos (southern coasts), where our final stop is. As an alternative route, when winds make crossing to Naxos tough, we set sail westward towards the sheltered coasts of Antiparos & Despotiko, which are some hidden gems around the Cyclades waiting to be explored. Our return is scheduled between 19:00-19:30, as sometimes weather dictates the speed and course.

    Great beaches, great...

    Great beaches, great company, great weather! Crew was awesome. Had some slight wind but other than that no complaints!

    Great time sailing around Paros and Antiparos.

    We were a bit tired at the time we went on the cruise. And I was a little afraid that it would be a bit too party-like for us. I was looking for something low-key. But then we got on board and all was great! Capt Costas and the first mate (Yiannis?) made us all feel like we were at home. There was a couple on the boat with our family - they were great too and were on their honeymoon. We had a good group that had a good vibe and were quite comfortable the whole time. Now sailing wise it was quite windy - they only had to put the jib up while we were sailing - but we all had a great time. Oh and Capt Costas and Yiannis(?) were great cooks too, for our snack and lunch!

    Good day on the water

    The sailing can become a bit rollercoastery, so definitely take something for nausea before if you become seasick easily. The swim stops were beautiful. Lunch was tasty but there could've been more food- there were three teenage boys on our tour and they were definitely still starving after lunch.

    Nice but a bit overpriced

    It was a nice day, however it was listed as a Paros cruise yet we sailed for 2 hours on choppy water to Naxos. We were sat under the cover for 2 hours and weren’t offered a drink/snack until we stopped which was quite long winded! The staff were also quite abrupt and not willing to help, I had to ask for snorkelling gear! I would’ve expected a bit more consideration for £322

    Okay trip

    This trip was okay. A bit awkward at times and didn’t have much space to sit/lay on the boat. Very low music playing and had to ask awkwardly for drinks. The crew was a bit quiet so didn’t really know what we were looking at & just docked far away from places to “jump in” a few times. Food was good.

    Paros Semi private Full day Sailing cruise: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paros.

    How much does Paros Semi private Full day Sailing cruise cost?

    +

    Prices start at $255 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Paros usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Paros Semi private Full day Sailing cruise take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Paros is not rushed.

    Is Paros Semi private Full day Sailing cruise worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 44 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Paros, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Paros Semi private Full day Sailing cruise?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Paros Semi private Full day Sailing cruise suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Paros Semi private Full day Sailing cruise?

    +

    Around 15 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Paros can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Paros and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Paros Semi private Full day Sailing cruise start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Paros within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Paros?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Paros experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Half Day Cruise Explore Paros Antiparos and Despotiko, Catamaran Semi Cruise Paros Antiparos includes Food and Drinks, BL A boat Trip To Blue Lagoon. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Paros?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Paros?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What happens to Paros Semi private Full day Sailing cruise if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Paros. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.

    What do travelers say about Paros Semi private Full day Sailing cruise?

    +

    Across 44 reviews averaging 4.5 out of 5, recurring themes include food and drink, good for families. The tastings and food stops are a highlight for most reviewers.
