Lovely beaches - Excellent trip around the island, visiting beaches that are hard to get to by car. Lunch was on the mainland which added to the trip. Much less noisy than the island hopping tour and thus more relaxing

Don’t miss this tour! - Great experience all around. Super friendly staff, amazing beaches, full day of sea and sun. All the beaches were spectacular, and the lunch stop had 2 very nice tavernas with great food. There are a lot of people on the boat, but that turned out to be a nice thing as you end up getting to know your neighbor. Great value - you are out on the boat from around 9:30 am - 6:00 pm. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience - We had an absolutely fantastic day with this boat trip. The stops were spectacular and only accessible by boat. The boat was very cozy and the crew super nice. Anytime again! A must if you are on Skiathos.

An affordable must! - Wonderful sea cruise to see parts of Skiathos only accessible from boat. Friendly wonderful staff, Tatjiana was very informative. Unfortunately, there was one group of very rude patrons. For future, it would be nice if staff make an announcement regrading seating to prevent this type of interaction from souring someone else's trip.

Great trip to see the island and more! - We booked this trip through Kalypso (actually via TUI), and really enjoyed this full day! We didn’t actually travel on “The Kalypso” boat but it’s smaller brother as I guess more had booked and so they ran this boat at the same time too. The crew were friendly, safety conscious and helpful. We visited numerous beaches around Skiathos and even a couple of other islands including the mainland. We had plenty of time to soak in the sun, snorkel in the amazing clear waters at each stop and enjoy lunch at the Taverna we choose at Katigiorgis harbour. (Prices were reasonable for this we thought, as I saw some other reviews say they were high but we didn’t think they were.) Only reason didn’t give the full stars was because there was little/no info given on the tour of the places we were passing or visiting that you’d normally expect from a boat tour.

A disappointing experience - We booked this cruise 3 weeks ago online. A day before we were notified that the cruise was seriously overbooked, asking us to reschedule. Obviously we could not as we were leaving Skiathos the next day. When we got to the port. We got shuffled off to a smaller boat, although our booking was for the big beautiful boat. When we questioned this, we were told that everyone who booked online was put on the smaller boat. Lastly. While on board, we were told that they had an order from the police to skip two of the prettier beaches because of the weather. That was a big let down as they ended up taking us to some pathetic beaches. Many people left the cruise halfway, others were going to complain and get a refund.

Pretty Average - Boat was 30 mins late leaving as had to wait for a bus full to arrive! Crew didn’t engage at all. The girl who spoke on the loudspeaker was quite rude and keen to promote her own yoga classes. The 4 stops we made were nice but can’t say ‘you must do this trip’ as it was pretty average. Lalaria beach and the little island of Tsougria were the best bits and you can get trips at the harbour that just do these which would be much better.

Not a nice experience. - Went on the Kalypso boat trip around Skiathos and over to the mainland. Boat was so full you could hardly find a place to sit down. Loud banging music played all the time and it was simply dreadful. When we got to Lalaria there were numerous other tripper boats all lined up, so the beach was packed like sardines. We didn't even bother to get off the boat. The village on the mainland was lovely. Put us off doing any more boat trips on our holiday.
