NEW TRAVEL POLICY
We need to inform you that from 2018, the Greek government has implemented new rules on all sailing tours. All guests must carry their Passports or ID Cards with them on board. If not, they will not be allowed to sail. Before boarding we check the passport number or ID card of everybody.
So, we must inform all guests that they have to carry their Passports or ID Cards with them on board. If not, they will not be allowed to sail.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please note that smooth sailing is dependent on the weather, so itinerary changes may occur at the last minute if the weather becomes unfavorable. If any changes are made, you can trust in your knowledgeable skipper to choose an alternative route or activity, and the wishes of most of the passengers.
What is a private cruise
A private sailing tour means that the entire sailing boat Annabella is reserved exclusively for you and your group. There are no other guests on board — just your chosen company, the skipper, and the sea.
The price applies to the whole tour, not per person. Whether you are one person seeking a quiet escape or a group of up to 10 guests, the boat is yours alone for the duration of the experience. This allows complete privacy, flexibility, and a personalised pace, with the freedom to enjoy sailing, swimming, and exploring the Cyclades exactly the way you want.
It is sailing on your terms — relaxed, private, and truly unforgettable.
