Fun boat day
Very relaxing day with beautiful views. The food was amazing! Christina and George were great.
via Tripadvisor
Absolutely amazing!
Smooth ride, not crowded, and great staff, especially Elena. The food was ok, but we didn’t really like the Greek food but we didn’t starve. Loved the free drinks and sight commentary. The captain was friendly and navigated perfectly. We would definitely recommend this trip.

Afternoon full of memories
We had a great afternoon on board our sailing vessel. The weather was a bit cool but the crew made it all worth while. The sea was warm and inviting. The food was amazing and we came home with more than memories, new friends! This is a must do and a great value for your money.

Relaxing and chill!
They changed the time of the cruise and notified us night before via WhatsApp. We did not see the communication in WhatsApp and wondered why they didn’t use Viator to move the start time?! It was a fabulous cruise otherwise!

Wonderful Sunset Boat Trip
A wonderful late afternoon/evening boat trip. We were able to swim in two different places. They served us an excellent meal along with unlimited drinks. And a beautiful sunset accompanied us on the trip back to the marina. Just fyi to future travelers, we went early hoping to find a place to eat lunch on the waterfront, but there is nothing at this marina. We took an uber to the next marina over and had a great meal at The Whale.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 💙 We’re delighted you enjoyed the swimming stops, meal, drinks and beautiful sunset. Thank you also for sharing the helpful tip for future guests! It was a pleasure having you on board, and we hope to welcome you again! ☀️⛵️

Why this scores 76
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Sunset Cruise Athens Riviera – Half Day Swimming&BBQ onBoard: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.
How much does Sunset Cruise Athens Riviera – Half Day Swimming&BBQ onBoard cost?
+
Prices start at €75 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Athens usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Sunset Cruise Athens Riviera – Half Day Swimming&BBQ onBoard take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Athens is not rushed.
Is Sunset Cruise Athens Riviera – Half Day Swimming&BBQ onBoard worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 28 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Athens, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Sunset Cruise Athens Riviera – Half Day Swimming&BBQ onBoard?
+
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 Sunset Cruise Athens Riviera – Half Day Swimming&BBQ onBoard suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sunset Cruise Athens Riviera – Half Day Swimming&BBQ onBoard?
+
Around 10 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 Athens 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 Athens and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sunset Cruise Athens Riviera – Half Day Swimming&BBQ onBoard 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 Athens 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 Athens?
+
On Outty we rank every Athens experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Athens Scenic Bike Tour with Regular or Electric Bike + Acropolis, Athens Small Group E-Bike Tour, Acropolis E-bike Tour With Entrance Tickets. 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 Athens?
+
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 Athens?
+
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 Sunset Cruise Athens Riviera – Half Day Swimming&BBQ onBoard?
+

+
