Rent a Yacht at Mykonos Princess V55

Mykonos is at its best from the water, and this private Princess V55 charter gives you a full day to choose the pace. You can visit Delos and Rhenia, then stop at the south-coast beaches for swimming and snorkelling rather than being tied to a fixed beach schedule. I especially like the private format for groups of up to 10, and the fact that fuel, crew, food, drinks, towels, snorkelling gear, and Wi-Fi are included.

The main drawback is the price: $5,377.45 per group is a serious spend unless you fill the boat. The trip also depends on good weather, and the non-refundable booking policy means you should be confident about your dates.

Key points to know before booking

• Delos and Rhenia are included when weather allows, adding ancient sites and quieter island scenery to the beach time.
• The Princess V55 holds up to 10 people, making the cost easier to justify for a full group.
• The crew includes a captain and crew member, with Christos, Konstantinos, and Stamatis named in the service team.
• Lunch and drinks are covered, including seafood pasta or pesto pasta, unlimited wine, beer, and soft drinks.
• You choose your swim stops, with the option to stop at the Mykonos south beaches that appeal to you.
• The day begins and ends at Ornos dock, at 11:00 am, and lasts about eight hours.

Starting at Ornos for an eight-hour private cruise

Your day starts at the Ornos dock at 11:00 am. The meeting point is listed as Embarkation for Yacht Charter on the road by Ornos, with the activity returning to the same place at the end of the day.

That simple start and finish matters in Mykonos. You do not have to arrange a second port transfer or work out where to leave the boat. The location is also near public transportation, though the supplied details do not specify a pickup service from your hotel.

The Princess V55 is used as a private yacht for your party, with room for as many as 10 people. A group of eight described the boat as immaculate, while a separate group of 10 found it clean and comfortable. That gives you a useful picture of the onboard standard, but keep the group size in mind: 10 is the maximum, not necessarily the most relaxed arrangement for everyone.

For a couple or small family, the boat offers plenty of space, but the price is harder to defend. For a birthday group, family gathering, or group of friends, splitting the cost among 8 to 10 people makes more sense. At the full group price, the cost works out to about $538 per person for 10 people, or about $673 per person for eight, before any separate transport to Ornos.

Cruising toward Delos and Rhenia

The most distinctive part of this outing is the chance to combine Mykonos beaches with two nearby islands. Delos and Rhenia lie across from Mykonos, and both can be visited when weather conditions permit.

Delos gives the day a cultural side. The information provided does not promise a guided archaeological visit or a particular amount of time ashore, so you should ask the operator how the stop will work if seeing the island’s ruins is important to you. The island is best understood here as one part of a flexible private cruise, not as a dedicated archaeological tour.

Rhenia offers a different mood. The appeal is the change of scenery and the chance to get away from Mykonos’ better-known beach areas. The crew can adjust the route to conditions and your preferences, but the final combination of stops cannot be guaranteed in poor weather.

This flexibility is one of the strongest reasons to book a private boat rather than a standard group cruise. You can tell the crew what kind of day you want, then use the weather and sea conditions to shape the route. The tradeoff is that you do not receive a fixed, guaranteed schedule for every island and beach.

Mykonos’ south beaches and open-water swim stops

After the islands, or instead of them if conditions require a change, the yacht can visit the famous beaches along Mykonos’ southern coast. You can stop at the beaches you like for swimming and snorkelling, rather than simply viewing them from offshore.

That choice is valuable because the south coast offers several well-known beach areas, but your ideal stop depends on the mood of your group. You might prefer a longer swim at one beach, several short stops, or more time under way. The supplied details promise the chance to stop at every beach you like, but not a fixed list of beaches or a guarantee that all of them will be visited.

The boat carries snorkelling equipment and towels, so you do not need to pack those items separately. Still, bring a swimsuit and any personal sun protection you need. The operator lists towels among the included items more than once, but it does not give a separate packing list or describe the amount of equipment available.

The sea time is likely to be the heart of the day. The appeal is not a packed list of attractions. It is the freedom to swim when you want, enjoy a meal aboard, and let the crew handle the boat and route.

Lunch, drinks, and the practical value of an all-inclusive boat day

Food and drink are included in a way that can make the high headline price easier to understand. Lunch is either pasta with mixed seafood or pasta with pesto sauce. You also receive snacks, a cheese plate, a fresh fruit basket, espresso coffee, unlimited wine, unlimited beer, and unlimited soft drinks.

The menu is straightforward rather than formal. That suits a swim-focused day, when you probably want a relaxed meal that does not interrupt the time on the water. If seafood matters to your group, confirm the food choice in advance. The information gives two pasta options but does not state how dietary requests are handled.

The unlimited drinks are particularly useful for a full eight-hour charter. You are not paying separately each time someone wants a soft drink, beer, or glass of wine. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth speakers are also included, letting your group stay connected and play its own music, subject to reasonable onboard volume and crew instructions.

The value depends on how you use the boat. A full group receives a private yacht, captain, crew member, fuel, lunch, drinks, equipment, towels, and onboard services for about eight hours. If you would otherwise pay separately for a private boat, meals, drinks, and fuel, the package becomes easier to justify. If your group is small or does not drink, the calculation is less favorable.

The crew and the feel of a private charter

Christos is repeatedly named as an important part of the service, with Konstantinos and Stamatis also identified as members of the team. The strongest service details are simple ones: the boat is ready on time, the crew stays attentive during the day, and communication by WhatsApp is easy.

That matters on a private charter. You are not just buying transport between islands. You are relying on the crew to help shape the route, manage swim stops, serve food and drinks, and keep the day running smoothly.

A group of eight from Australia singled out Christos and Stamatis, describing the boat as immaculate and the swim stops as especially memorable. Another group praised the crew for making sure drinks were always available. Those details point to a service style that is attentive without being formal.

You should still tell the crew what your group wants at the start. If one person wants long swim stops while another wants more time near the islands, clear communication will help. The boat is private, but the crew cannot make different sea conditions disappear.

What the eight-hour schedule really means

An 11:00 am start gives you a late-morning departure and a full afternoon on the water. The experience lasts about eight hours, so you should expect to return to Ornos around early evening, although the exact return time is not stated.

The route has several possible parts:

• Leaving Ornos and heading toward Delos and Rhenia, weather permitting.
• Stopping for swimming and snorkelling.
• Visiting selected Mykonos south-coast beaches.
• Eating pasta and snacks aboard.
• Enjoying the drink service, music, Wi-Fi, and open-water time.
• Returning to Ornos dock.

Do not treat that list as a strict timetable. It is a private charter, and the order of the stops can change. The more places you try to include, the less time you will have at each one. I would decide before departure if your priority is Delos, several beach stops, or a slow day with long swims.

The weather clause is important. The operator requires good weather for the trip. If poor weather causes cancellation, you are offered a different date or a full refund. That protection is helpful, but it does not mean every change in wind, waves, or cloud will produce a cancellation. Ask the operator about the weather decision process if your holiday schedule is tight.

Who will get the most from this Princess V55 charter

This is best suited to a private group that wants control over the day. Ten friends can share the cost, choose their own music, and avoid the fixed pace of a larger cruise. Families and mixed-age groups may also appreciate having a captain and crew while keeping the route private.

It is a strong choice if you care about:

• Swimming and snorkelling more than sightseeing from shore.
• Visiting more than one island or beach in one day.
• Having lunch and drinks arranged for you.
• Keeping the day flexible.
• Avoiding the feel of a large shared boat.
• Celebrating a special occasion with a full group.

It may not suit you if you want a low-cost boat ride, a guaranteed archaeological tour of Delos, or a tightly fixed itinerary. It is also not the right pick if your dates cannot shift and you are uncomfortable with a weather-dependent activity and strict cancellation terms.

Most people can participate, according to the supplied activity information, and the meeting point is near public transportation. No specific accessibility details are provided, so you should ask about boarding and movement around the yacht if anyone in your group has mobility needs.

Cancellation, confirmation, and the details worth checking

Confirmation is normally issued when you book. If you book within 12 hours of departure, confirmation is sent as soon as possible and remains subject to availability.

The booking is non-refundable and cannot be changed for any reason if you cancel or request an amendment. The exception is a cancellation caused by poor weather, when you are offered another date or a full refund.

That makes travel insurance or a careful look at your holiday schedule sensible, especially because the charter costs more than a standard excursion. Before paying, confirm your preferred food choice, the expected route, and how the Delos stop will be handled. These points are not fully specified in the supplied information, and they can affect your decision.

Should you book the Mykonos Princess V55?

Book it if you have a group large enough to share the cost and want a private day built around swimming, flexible beach stops, good food, and attentive service. Christos, Konstantinos, and Stamatis are named members of a crew that has earned strong praise for communication, care, timing, and boat condition.

Skip it if you are traveling alone, as a couple, or on a tight budget. You should also think twice if visiting Delos is your main goal and you need a dedicated history tour with guaranteed time ashore. For the right group, though, this is a polished way to spend a full day beyond Mykonos, with the practical extras already covered.
