Home to some of Greece's best beaches, Halkidiki is a haven for relaxing in style. Sail by beautiful bays and secluded beaches in a yacht that's limited to only ten guests, and you'll enjoy plenty of time to swim, snorkel and sunbathe – pure relaxation from start to finish.

Step aboard at Chrousso port, and we'll set sail along the eastern fringes of the peninsula. With all the planning taken care of, you'll be able to while away the hours in total relaxation under the bright Greek sun before we arrive at the first swim stop. Plunge into the cooling sea and try some snorkelling to spot the sea life.

Once you're back on board we'll continue along the coast for another swim stop. Along the way, you can enjoy a few glasses of wine, beer or soft drinks alongside, snacks, fruit, and fresh Greek yoghurt. And on the way back to port, you can even play captain with a short sailing lesson from the crew.

The swim stops were relatively short, less than 30mins each

This was advertised as stopping at a private beaches. There was no access to the beach with towels food etc, we just anchored in the bay on two different occassions. We stopped in one bay for 45 mins which was ok for snorkeling but not a nice beach and looked like dirt instead of sand. The 2nd stop at turtle island was aborted. We sailed for ages with not enough beach stops or being able to get onto a beach. Not what we wanted and overpriced. Captain was very quiet so no sailing lesson either.

The whole experience was fabulous. The yachtsman was friendly and looked after us. The food provided was fresh and delicious. Definately a highlight of the holiday. Would definately recommend to others.

Transfer time from Blue Lagoon Palace to Chourros Port is at best 90 minutes which wouldn’t put us off if we knew upfront rather than be told it’s 60-75minutes. The sail sadly was only able to be used for about 10 minutes which slightly took away from ‘sail away’ and whilst the captain was courteous he could have been a bit more engaging. Other than those niggles the experience was lovely with adequate food and drink, two lovely swim stops and only 8 people on the boat.

A perfect trip. Well worth the money . Definitely recommend if you like boats. Not suitable for people with disabilities. There’s not a lot of room to sit in the main seating area but if conditions allow, you can sit on the bow of the boat. Lunch was a sandwich, some fruit and a drink.. The captain was really friendly and allowed us to have two swim stops- crystal clear water- perfect. The boat has snorkels too to borrow. Overall fantastic experience and would recommend.
