Fun on the water - Great fun in the little boat! We cruised all along the coasts of Paros and Antiparos. Beautiful scenery. The only catch was staying clear of the swimmers. There’s a narrow channel called Blue Lagoon that you must pass through and it was filled with boats and swimmers off the boats. It was a challenge but we made it through! We also wanted to see the caves close up but the entrances were blocked by boats letting off swimmers who were swimming just outside the caves. But the boat was still totally worth it - easy to operate and the water was clear, calm, and beautiful.

unique, kinda scary, beautiful - first of all - i would recommend this 1000x to anybody, it was very fun and unique. it was just 2 of us on the boat and i think that is the perfect amount of people. while extremely fun and beautiful, it had its scary moments. they let anybody do this, it doesnt really matter if you have experience driving a motorboat and when we went it was quite windy so the water was "choppy" (bumpy if you are a passenger, my husband felt secure in the drivers seat). due to the wind, we were limited in where we could go - they pointed out what we could and could not do on the map - one of the things that would have been nice, but we couldnt do, was exploring antiparos. we stayed on the water for about 4 hrs which was sufficient going about half as far as we could before turning back. we stopped/anchored 4 times, and got stuck 3 of those times (luckily we were able to get the anchor out from under the rocks). they were very responsive when we called the third time when we thought we'd have to untie the anchor and leave it in the water which was good, but they didnt really effectively warn against anchoring by the rocks, and we were trying to be safe by avoiding the shore so we anchored at 4 meters depth, but i think if you anchor at 3 meters you are more likely to hit sand and not have the stress of potentially being stuck. then, some of the locations they mark on the map are beach clubs, they gave us the phone # to whatsapp/call someone from these places to pick us up in a water taxi - since you cant dock or get close to the shore. we were not successful reaching out to anyone - the number didn't work, no one answered calls or messages. we saw another boat from our same rental service anchored, those people swam to shore. so if you want to grab a bite/drink i recommend bringing a waterproof bag of some sort, noodles and/or a water tube because you're swimming. I would definitely do again but its not without some scary moments!

Must-see experience! - Freedom to tour and stop at the beaches you want for as long as you want. Excellent experience and very simple to drive. We will definitely repeat it!

Memories made on a great excursion on the water! - We had a wonderful day on the water! Our tour operator was there to greet us and recommended places to see and stop at. The boat was well equipped with safety equipment and we always felt safe. If we had any questions we could text our tour operator. We made some great memories with our teenage grandchildren swimming and snorkeling too.

Best Experience in Greece Hands Down! - There is a lot that I can say about the amazing honeymoon my wife and I spent in Italy and Greece, but this was easily one of the most amazing and fun (and frankly cheapest) experiences we had on our trip. Being able to have the boat to yourself and have full free reign of the Southern Paros and Antiparos coastlines for the entire day was one of the best ways to get time to ourselves and be able to truly enjoy being on the Aegean Sea. The Blue Lagoon and the Pirates Cove were our favorite stops (especially cliff jumping at the Cove). The staff for the Sailor's Ride were incredibly friendly and accommodating, even going out of their way to create a really helpful how-to video to reference for the details of your specific boat. I have experience with speed boats, but their tips that they had were still incredibly helpful. They were more than happy to answer any and all questions and were constantly available in case we had any other troubles or had to end early (which we thankfully did not need). The boat itself was incredibly well maintained and in excellent condition, along with all the accommodations you would need (other than towels, don't forget to bring those). It was fast, mobile, and we had a hell of a time driving it around. I would happily come back and rent through them again if we revisit and I plan to recommend them to anybody I know that is going to Paros or anywhere else that they may service.

Highlight of our vacation! - We highly recommend Akis and his team at Sailor's Ride. They think of everything to ensure you feel comfortable. We rented for a full day and although we'd never driven a boat before they gave us great instruction and stayed with us in the harbor until we were confident. It was a wonderful way to get to places otherwise inaccessible... caves, the blue lagoon and some cliff diving spots. Akis was also very responsive to my questions ahead of our day's rental. We're so glad we chose Sailors Ride!

Would recommend! - Easy communication with organisers and the boat was perfect for exploring the blue lagoon and Antiparos. Would recommend!

Perfect day out on the water! - We got a beautiful, new boat with all the bells and whistles, and had a wonderful day out on the water exploring the islands near Paros! They provided a very helpful map and chatted to help us figure out how to plan our day. Definitely recommend for anyone comfortable operating their own boat!

A must when in Paros - Amazing experience ! As a Rookie, me and my girlfriend had great time sailing around Paros. Kind Lady give you quick instructions, and you are good to go. Recommemdation!

Small and unstable boat - This was a fun way to see different areas of the island on your own. The boat was small and unstable. I would recommend not having anymore than 2-3 people on board.
