Highlight of Our Trip
We booked our Antiparos semi-private day cruise directly through Glaraki’s company website, getting on at Pounta port. Captain Christos and his team took such good care of us. It was a definite highlight of our two week trip to Greece. The boat was large and comfortable, with a place for each person to spread out, relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery passing by, while listening to the captain’s excellent music selection. There were four stops where we had the opportunity to swim in the crystal clear Aegean. We were amazed by how the captain was able to maneuver the boat so close to the rocky cliffs. The food was plentiful and delicious and just kept coming. Lunch was an absolute feast. The drinks did not disappoint either. There are many Antiparos cruise options but I highly recommend you choose this one. It is class A all the way.

Perfection
I can’t say enough about our day on the boat with Kostas and his amazing staff. The boat was super clean and comfortable. We felt very welcomed from the moment we boarded. There were freshly made snacks throughout the day and a delicious souvlaki lunch cooked right on the boat. You can tell that everything is meticulously prepared. The staff was always accessible, kind, and accommodating. One of the best things about this trip was that it is limited to a small group so it was more personable. We swam in the most beautiful coves and lagoons, chatted with others, and we learned some about beautiful Antiparos. It is obvious that Kostas takes pride in his work.

Really well done. Stops...

10/10 day!!!
10/10 day- the spots we were taken to were crystal blue waters, amazing music, warm staff and AMAZING meal. Wish we could relive this day again and again. We did 3 boat days in Paros, Milos, and Santorini— this Paros boat day remains our favorite day of the whole trip.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Semi-private Day Cruise: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paros.
How much does Semi-private Day Cruise cost?
+
Prices start at $217 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 Semi-private Day Cruise take?
+
Plan for about 6.8 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 Semi-private Day Cruise worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 89 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 165 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Paros, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Semi-private Day 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 Semi-private Day Cruise suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6.8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Semi-private Day Cruise?
+
Around 58 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 6.8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Semi-private Day 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 is included in Semi-private Day Cruise?
+
Included: Bottled water; Carbonated beverages; Snacks; Lunch; and Use of snorkeling equipment. Not included: Towels; and Private transportation. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Semi-private Day Cruise?
+
Important: If you are staying in Antiparos, the departure time is at 09:30, and you must inform the supplier at the time of booking. The boat will be docked at the far end of the small pier in front of the main street. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Semi-private Day Cruise?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Semi-private Day Cruise wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
