Sailing past Mykonos on a private yacht feels ridiculously easy. This Ferretti Altura 52s day cruise is built for groups up to 12, with a handy setup at Mathios Tavern and a skipper team that keeps things relaxed and on-time.

I really like that your comfort is handled up front: beer, wine, towels, bottled water, and a mykonian flavor platter are included. I also like the private feel—just your group on the water, guided by a skipper and co-skipper who focus on your day, not the schedule of a big crowd.

One thing to keep in mind: this experience is weather-dependent, and because you’re on the sea, plan for potential date changes if conditions are poor.

Key things to know before you go

• Meet at Mathios Tavern so you can get aboard without a stressful scavenger hunt
• Private charter for up to 12 means you set the vibe with your group
• Mykonian platter + beer and wine keeps the day feeling like a celebration
• 4 to 7 hours gives you flexibility on how much time you want on the water
• Skipper and co-skipper included for a smoother, more confident cruise day
• 1 hour of fuel included helps make the day feel more predictable

Why a Ferretti Altura 52s Yacht Day Works in Mykonos

Mykonos is one of those places where “just seeing it” can turn into a long day of walking, waiting, and squeezing through crowds. A private yacht day flips that. You get a slower pace, salt-air views, and a change of scenery that’s hard to recreate from shore.

The Ferretti Altura 52s is the kind of boat that suits a true group outing—spacious enough for people to spread out, and comfortable enough that food and drinks don’t feel like an afterthought. You’re not rushing from stop to stop on a timetable you can’t control. Instead, you’re living inside your own day.

And because you have a skipper plus co-skipper, you can spend your attention on enjoying the route, not figuring out logistics.

Meeting at Mathios Tavern: How to Start Smoothly

Your meeting point is Mathios Tavern in Mykonos, and the cruise ends back at the same place. That round-trip setup matters more than it sounds. When you don’t have to negotiate multiple transfers or hunt for a remote dock, the day stays easy from start to finish.

Mathios Tavern is also listed as near public transportation, which is useful if you’re not rolling in with a hotel car. You’ll want to arrive with enough time to locate the right check-in moment and get settled before boarding.

Tip: if your group is coming from different directions, set a firm meet time and tell everyone to be early. Private yacht days run best when you’re not sprinting at the last second.

Your Private Time on the Water (4 to 7 hours, Your Call)

This is a private experience, so only your group participates. That means you get the freedom to focus on your own pace—sun time, photo time, chat time, swim time if conditions allow.

Duration is listed as approximately 4 to 7 hours, with an added note that the tour time can be chosen by you within that range. For many people, this is the sweet spot: long enough to feel like you got the full yacht experience, not so long that the day turns into a nap marathon.

You also get a clear structure with a fuel package: 1 hour of fuel is included. Practically, that helps define what the cruise day can comfortably include without you constantly thinking about extra costs in the moment. If you’re the type who likes to plan, this is a reassuring detail.

Stop on Mykonos Island: 3 Hours to Explore

The itinerary includes a stop on Mykonos island with about 3 hours of exploration. This is the part that keeps your day from feeling like it’s only about being on the water.

Three hours is long enough to do something real, but short enough that you don’t feel locked into an all-day land plan. You can use it to wander, grab a snack, or take care of the Mykonos photos you want without rushing back to the boat every ten minutes.

One practical note: the experience description doesn’t include entrance fees for major archaeological sights, and there’s a specific mention of Delos. That doesn’t change the island stop itself, but it does mean you should check what your skipper’s route includes and what you might pay separately.

Food, Drinks, Towels, and the Fuel Hour That Make It Easier

This cruise handles a lot of the comfort details. You’ll be provided mykonian flavor platters, bottled water, towels, and alcoholic beverages (beer and wine). That package matters because a yacht day can otherwise feel like you’re constantly ordering drinks or trying to picnic on the fly.

The platter is a key highlight because it turns the day into a meal event instead of a snack compromise. And beer and wine being included keeps the social vibe going—great for celebrations, family days, and groups who want the day to feel special without a lot of “what do we bring?” thinking.

From a value perspective, these inclusions reduce the most common yacht-day headaches: figuring out food, worrying about hydration, and spending extra once you’re already underway.

Also, because the skipper and co-skipper are part of the package, you’re not just buying a boat—you’re buying a service that helps you make the most of the time.

About Delos Archaeological Site Fees (If Your Route Includes It)

Delos is famous, and the listing specifically notes that entrance fees to the Delos Archaeological site are not included. So if your route or timing includes Delos, you should budget for that entrance fee separately.

What you should do: ask your team ahead of time (or at check-in) whether Delos is part of your day’s plan, and if so, whether any timing constraints could affect how long you’ll have there. With private charters, the “what if” questions are worth asking early.

This is one of those details that keeps your day from getting expensive by surprise. Even if you don’t end up going to Delos, knowing that fees aren’t included helps you plan cleanly.

Who This Cruise Fits Best (and Who Might Prefer Something Else)

This is a strong fit if:

• You’re traveling with a group up to 12 and want privacy.
• You want a day that mixes on-water cruising with time on Mykonos island.
• You care about having food and drinks included so the day feels seamless.

It’s also a good option for families, based on how the day is described in top feedback: the skipper and crew keep things fun and accommodating, and the food quality is part of what makes it memorable.

You might prefer a different kind of tour if:

• You want a very structured itinerary with pre-booked, timed museum stops and set transfers.
• You’re trying to do a lot of extra paid attractions without any flexibility. Private routes are usually better when you can adjust on the fly.

Practical Tips for Sea Conditions and Packing

Because this experience requires good weather, it’s smart to treat the yacht day like a weather-sensitive plan. If conditions are poor, you may be offered a different date or a full refund.

For packing, think about comfort more than gear:

• Bring a light layer for wind once you’re out on the water.
• Wear shoes that handle short walks around the island stop.
• If you plan on spending time sitting in sea air, a hat and sunglasses are a simple win.

And don’t underestimate how much you’ll enjoy doing less. The best part of a private yacht day is not maximizing activities. It’s slowing down enough to actually enjoy the trip.

Price and Value: What You’re Actually Paying For

We don’t have a listed price in the information here, so I’ll frame value the practical way. You’re paying for:

• A private charter (your group only)
• A skipper and co-skipper
• Included mykonian platters
• Included beer and wine
• Included towels and bottled water
• Included 1 hour of fuel

Those inclusions are where the value often shows up. Many yacht experiences quietly add costs: drinks, food, or “fuel time” limitations that come into play later. Here, the basics are covered, which helps you feel confident you’re paying for the experience you booked—not for a list of extras.

If you’re splitting the boat cost across a group, the private nature can become surprisingly reasonable compared to booking multiple separate shore activities and transport.

Should You Book This Private Yacht Cruise in Mykonos?

If you want Mykonos from the water with an easy start at Mathios Tavern, plus included food, drinks, and a platter that actually feels like part of the day, I think this is a great choice. The private size for up to 12 makes it feel personal without being too small to enjoy a group hang.

I’d especially book it if your priority is:

• comfort and convenience
• a skipper-led day
• a mix of cruising plus about 3 hours exploring the island

Book it with confidence if your dates are flexible and you’re okay with weather-based changes. If you’re planning around non-negotiable timing (like a departure the same evening), choose dates carefully.
