Your captain handles the open-water legs while you relax on deck. 🔑 Key Details Duration: About seven to ten hours at sea Meeting point: Alyki, Paros Skipper: Included; snorkelling gear and safety equipment on board Route: Koufonisia archipelago and nearby small Cyclades highlights 🌊 What to Expect Morning starts early from Alyki with a clear run toward the Koufonisia chain. The first open-water stretch sets the tone for the day; after that you alternate longer transits with anchorages where the sea turns glassy over white sand. Kato Koufonisi and the larger island beaches appear in the order the captain chooses based on wind and swell. Expect time to snorkel above bright seabeds, eat a relaxed lunch on board or ashore when a taverna is open, and still get back toward Paros before dark on a standard summer day. 📍 Location Koufonisia sits northeast of Paros across open Cyclades water, which is why this trip is a full day rather than a quick hop like Antiparos. Alyki’s south-coast start keeps the first hour productive without sailing all the way around Paros from Parikia. The small Cyclades around Koufonisia are famous for shallow turquoise bays and low crowds compared with Mykonos or Santorini ferry ports. That distance is the trade-off: more sea time, but beaches that still feel quiet in July when road beaches on Paros are busy. ✅ Prerequisites Comfort on a moving boat for several hours matters here, including an open-sea section that can have swell even in summer. Swimming ability helps because the best parts of the day are in the water rather than sightseeing from the dock. Children who manage long car journeys usually manage this day if an adult supervises deck play and swim stops. Share ages at check-in so the captain can pick calmer anchorages when younger kids are on board. ⭐ Why Choose Us Skippers who run Koufonisia days know which side of each islet stays flat when the meltemi blows and where to hide for a long lunch swim. Fuel planning and timing are built around real summer traffic, not a theoretical timetable from a brochure. A private hull keeps snorkelling gear within reach, so the group can jump in when water colour changes without waiting for a shared tour vote. The day stays flexible if one cove deserves an extra twenty minutes instead of ticking every n… ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Licensed skipper for the charter Safety equipment on board Fuel for the standard itinerary Route planning and local knowledge Briefing before departure from Alyki ### What’s not included Transport to and from Alyki Meals, drinks and snacks unless arranged separately Hotel pickup Gratuities for the crew Personal travel insurance ### Kit list Swimwear and a towel Sun cream, hat and sunglasses Light layers for the breeze underway Camera or phone in a dry bag Water and snacks unless you plan a taverna stop ## FAQs ### How long is the Koufonisia day trip? This is a full-day private charter of about ten hours at sea, including open-water legs to the Koufonisia area and time at anchor for swims. We leave Alyki early so you reach the best anchorages with daylight to spare on the return to Paros. ### Where do we meet? You meet at our base in Alyki on the south coast of Paros. We send exact pontoon details after your booking is confirmed. Arrive about fifteen minutes before departure for the safety briefing and to stow bags before you cast off. ### Is transport to Alyki included? Transport to the marina is not included. Most guests drive, take a taxi, or use local buses to the south of the island. Allow extra time in peak season for parking and check-in before your departure slot. ### What happens if the weather is unsuitable? If conditions are unsafe, the skipper postpones or adjusts the trip. You can move to another suitable date or receive a full refund under our weather policy. Light wind is normal; we explain options before you leave the dock when swell or chop changes the plan. ### Is lunch included? Lunch is not included in the listed price. Many groups eat on board with provisions they bring, or stop at a taverna ashore when a port call fits the route and timing. Tell us dietary preferences when you book and the crew can suggest realistic lunch stops for your date. ### Is the crossing suitable if I get seasick? There is open Cyclades water between Paros and Koufonisia, so swell is possible even in summer. Sea bands or medication help if you are sensitive, and the skipper chooses the most comfortable track. If the forecast is poor for an offshore day, we postpone or offer another date under our weather policy rather than forcing the long leg. ### How many people can join? Private charters are for your party only. Tell us adults and children when you book so we assign a suitable boat with enough seating and life jackets. Maximum group size depends on the hull assigned to your date; we confirm capacity when your enquiry is approved. ### Do I need boating experience? No. A licensed skipper handles the helm, navigation and anchoring throughout. You relax, swim and take photos while the crew manages the boat. Everyone listens to the short safety briefing before departure, especially regarding life jackets for children and moving around on deck while underway. ### What should I bring? Bring swimwear, a towel, sun cream, a hat and sunglasses. Use a dry bag for phones and wear soft shoes with grip on deck. Carry water and snacks unless you plan a taverna stop on longer routes. ### Can children join this offshore day? Yes, when accompanied by a responsible adult in your group. Let us know ages when you book so we can confirm life jacket sizes and the best boat layout. Skippers choose calmer anchorages when young children are swimming and keep a watchful eye at boarding and on deck. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://media.adventuro.com/public/12872d5b-074f-43a4-b760-5953628d212b/aaef4e85-801e-4a9c-bd40-7efce332c7b0/original.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 3 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
