Best day of the entire trip
The absolute best day of our entire trip!!! A group of four of us booked a private day trip around Milos with Salty Rides and it was an absolute dream. Michalis picked us up directly from our hotel’s dock on the most beautiful boat first thing in the morning. He was incredibly knowledgeable and helped map out the itinerary for the day ensuring we got to see all noteworthy sites. Despite somewhat windy conditions, all of the rides to and from our various destinations throughout the day were smooth and enjoyable - a testament to his supreme captain skills. The boat itself was absolutely perfect. It had numerous locations for sitting and lounging including both shade protection and sun exposure.The boat also came with a beautiful cabin including a proper bathroom and even espresso machine! The boat was fully stocked with beverages and snacks as well as fun gear such as snorkels, a paddle board, fins etc. A very special touch which our entire group appreciated was the traditional Greek tapas that he provided which his mother (a long time island local) made. His music playlist was sublime and his hospitality really made the entire experience one that we will never forget. We did tremendous amounts of research on private boat tours around Milos including hotel recommendations etc. and we couldn’t be happier with the experience Salty Rides provided. Many of the other companies we explored were outrageously priced and felt very touristy and scheduled. Michalis and his team were the opposite - island locals with a passion and love for the wonders of the Aegean. If you are looking for a memorable, luxurious, comfortable and exciting experience this is the company for you!!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this awesome feedback! See you next time on board. Warm regards, Michalis

Excellent day with Michalis. He was a great captain and very professional. We had several swimming stops at beautiful locations. He had paddle boards and such to use as well as taking drone photos and videos for us.
Response from the operator: Thanks so much! We’re glad you had a fantastic time with Michalis. He really loves creating special moments out on the water. We send our best from Milos!

Fun and adventure
We had an amazing day out with michael. Such a pleasure. The day was a little windy so the ride had some exciting moments which was fun. He found some beautiful beaches out of the wind. Caves swimming and a glass of wine to top it off. Don’t be afraid if the wind is up. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend the lovely michael and his brother. It was a great adventure
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind words! We’re glad you enjoyed the day—even with a bit of wind adding to the experience. Hope to see you again!

Best day of our vacation

Captain Chris - The Best!
Absolutely amazing! My wife and I were on our honeymoon and we booked Salty Rides on our first day in Milos. Captain Chris met us in Pollonia port and explained the itinerary to us, ensured we were comfortable and we were off to the races! We had such a good time, always cold drinks, private beaches, goat island and a very nice lunch at an Oceanside restaurant in Kimolos. Adrenaline fuelled relaxation. Worth it! We had a blast.

Private Luxury Boat Tour to Kimolos & Poliegos: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Milos.
How much does Private Luxury Boat Tour to Kimolos & Poliegos cost?
+
Prices start at $1,998 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Milos usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Luxury Boat Tour to Kimolos & Poliegos take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Milos is not rushed.
Is Private Luxury Boat Tour to Kimolos & Poliegos worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 36 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Milos, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Luxury Boat Tour to Kimolos & Poliegos?
+
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 Private Luxury Boat Tour to Kimolos & Poliegos suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Luxury Boat Tour to Kimolos & Poliegos?
+
Around 13 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 Milos 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 Milos and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Luxury Boat Tour to Kimolos & Poliegos 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 Milos 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 Milos?
+
On Outty we rank every Milos experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Milos Small-Group Full-Day Cruise with Snorkelling and Lunch, Best of Milos and Poliegos Catamaran snorkelling Cruise with BBQ, CATAMARAN Kleftiko Poliegos & Round of Milos Lunch with Openbar. 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 Milos?
+
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 Milos?
+
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.
