Private 5-Hour Cruise on Brand-New 2023 Motor Yacht in Mykonos (Voreus)
Book on Viator →Operated by Nostos Mykonos Yachts · Bookable on Viator
A private yacht loop turns Mykonos from a checklist into a moving view. On the brand-new 2023 Voreus motor yacht with your group only (up to 4 people), you cruise the island’s most famous beaches and yacht anchorages in a way that feels both relaxed and a bit fancy. I especially liked the onboard comfort details—an indoor bathroom with shower, deck shower, swim towels, and even WiFi—and I also liked that your stops are timed for photos plus real beach time.
One thing to plan around: the schedule depends on good weather, and there’s an extra fuel surcharge that’s separate from the listed price.

Key reasons this Voreus cruise is worth your time

- Private group (up to 4) so the day stays easy and not crowded.
- Brand-new 2023 yacht with an indoor shower setup plus a deck shower.
- Beach-to-beach stops by sea: Psarou, Paraga, Paradise, Super Paradise, Agrari, and Elia.
- Snorkeling gear and SUP available when conditions allow.
- Food isn’t a full meal but you do get savory platters, fruit, and wine or beer.
Private 2023 Voreus yacht: what you’ll notice first

The biggest difference on this cruise is how fast you get the Mykonos viewpoint. Instead of bouncing between buses, boats, and beach entrances, you’re already on the water. The Voreus is a purpose-built motor yacht experience, and the review score backing it up is very consistent: people liked the boat comfort and the calm competence of the crew.
Onboard, you’re not stuck in a bare-bones setup. There’s an indoor bathroom with shower, plus a deck shower—handy after swimming, snorkeling, or just getting sandy. WiFi is included too, which is a small detail that matters if you’re trying to coordinate plans or just share a couple of beach pics before the day melts into evening.
Boarding is also worth knowing. You’ll handle embarkation and disembarkation via a tender boat, not by walking straight onto a docked vessel. It’s normal for this kind of cruising, but if you’re carrying beach bags or you don’t love steps and transfers, plan a little extra time and keep your essentials together.

Price and value: why this can still be a good deal

The headline number is $1,020.20 per group (up to 4) for about 5 hours. That pricing matters because you’re not paying per person for prime views—you’re paying to book the yacht privately.
But here’s the honest part: you’ll also need to budget the fuel surcharge. It’s listed as EUR 200 for the Mykonos Southern Coast (default), or EUR 300 for Delos/Rhenia. That surcharge is separate from the group price, so the all-in cost depends on the route day your booking uses.
What makes the pricing feel reasonable anyway is the way the essentials are handled:
- You get hotel/villa/port pickup and return (or you can meet at the beach start point).
- Alcohol is included as wine or beer: 1 bottle of wine per 4 people, or 3 bottles of beer if your group prefers beer.
- You get savory platters and fruit platters. They’re not a full meal, but they’re exactly what you want for beach cruising between swims.
- Soft drinks and bottled water are included.
- Swim towels are provided.
If you’re splitting the cost among four people, this turns into a very “Mykonos-style” day without needing a full-blown private charter. If you’re only two people, it can still be fun, but you’ll feel the cost more—so I’d only book it solo-or-couple if you strongly prefer a private boat over a shared group cruise.
Where the day starts: Agia Anna beach and pickup by port or hotel

The cruise starts at Agia Anna on the beach, Paraga Studios, Agia Anna, Paraga, Mikonos 846 00 and returns to the same meeting point.
You can also choose pickup from hotels, the airport, or the port (both Old Port and New Port in Mykonos are listed). That’s a big convenience point. Mykonos traffic and the “where do I park” puzzle can be real, so having transportation lined up saves mental energy.
One practical tip: tender boarding means you’ll want to keep your wet-bag setup simple. Bring one easy tote with swim gear, and avoid stuffing valuables into multiple places. Your time will be spent enjoying the water, not playing beach logistics.
Psarou Beach: the cosmopolitan bay from your own deck
The first stop is Psarou Beach for about 20 minutes. This is where Mykonos shows off its international side. Expect mega-yachts anchored offshore and a view of the kind of beach club scene that made Psarou famous.
I like this first stop because it sets the tone. You get a quick taste of Mykonos glamour without wasting the whole morning in one place. For a short visit, it’s a great photo moment too—you’ll be able to frame the bay and the anchored yachts from a perspective land-based views can’t match.
Possible drawback: because it’s only about 20 minutes, you won’t get a long swim session here unless you’re the type who’s happy with a quick dip and a lot of photos. If you want slower beach time early in the day, you’ll feel rushed at Psarou.
Paraga Beach: Scorpios and SantAnna framing the shoreline

Next up: Paraga Beach for about 20 minutes. This stop leans into the bohemian-chic vibe. As you glide by, you’ll see famous beach clubs including Scorpios and SantAnna, which also makes this a “see-the-signature-places” stop.
This is a solid mid-cruise viewpoint break. After Psarou, Paraga adds texture: rugged coastline, beach scene details, and those recognizable club spots that you often only hear about before you arrive.
A quick caution: Paraga’s “beach energy” can be visually busy. If you’re hoping for total quiet, use this time more for sightseeing and quick photos than for expecting a peaceful nap on the sand.
Paradise and Super Paradise: iconic party energy, your quieter angle

Then you head to Paradise Beach for about 30 minutes. This is Mykonos at its most famous party-beach brand, and the nice twist is you can watch it from a comfortable private deck rather than being packed into the crowd.
After that comes Super Paradise Beach for about 45 minutes. If Paradise is the headline, Super Paradise is the experience people remember. The bay is known for swimming-friendly conditions and that “this is what postcards are made of” look.
Here’s the value for your day: these two stops give you the Mykonos “legend” without requiring you to commit your whole time to one beach. You’ll see what the island is known for, but you still keep your day moving.
Trade-off: if you’re someone who wants a low-key beach cruise with zero party association, these stops might feel like a lot. The good news is you can control your own pace—you’re not stuck walking through the densest areas unless you choose to.
Super Paradise swim kit: snorkeling gear and SUP timing
Super Paradise is also where the active options show up. You can swim, and you’ll have snorkeling equipment (masks and snorkels) plus a SUP (stand-up paddleboard) if weather allows.
I like this because it turns your “viewing day” into a “doing day” without adding extra costs. You’re already on the water, so it’s logical to take advantage—especially in a place where the coastline and nearby waters look great for a first-time snorkel or a short paddle session.
Do note the condition wording: SUP is included if weather permits. If conditions don’t cooperate, you still have snorkeling gear and a swim window. And since the stop is about 45 minutes, keep the time practical: get your gear ready early, and don’t lose 15 minutes to changing outfits.
Agrari Beach: the calmer reset after the party bays
After the louder beach stops, Agrari Beach gives you a reset. It’s about 20 minutes and the vibe is described as serene, with a sandy, quieter feel.
This stop is short, but it works. It breaks the day into clear emotional chapters: glamour → shoreline scenes → party legend → calm reset. If you’re the kind of person who doesn’t want your whole Mykonos trip to feel like one long club scene, Agrari matters.
Drawback to keep in mind: with only 20 minutes, you probably won’t get a full swim-and-stay experience unless your definition of relaxing is quick and simple. If you want longer quiet beach time, your best chance is still later at Elia.
Elia Beach for two hours: snacks, wine or beer, and real beach time
Your final destination is Elia Beach for about 2 hours, and this is where the cruise earns its “wow” factor. Elia is expansive and described as pristine, and the long stop makes it your best opportunity to actually settle in.
While you swim and relax, the crew serves savory platters and fruit, plus chilled Greek wine or beer. This is a key detail: the food is not listed as a meal, so don’t expect dinner-level portions. But for a beach day, it’s the right kind of snack support—enough to keep you going and not feel empty-tummy while you’re out in the sun.
This is also the moment I’d slow your pace. Two hours is enough for a full swim session, a paddle attempt if available earlier, and time to just hang without watching the clock every five minutes.
Possible drawback: Elia is the best “time investment” stop, so if you’re the type who wants one last photo-perfect moment and then move on, you might feel like you’re staying for it. Still, for most people, that length is the point.
Small comfort details that make a big difference
On a day like this, the “luxury” isn’t just the yacht. It’s the practical setup that keeps you comfortable between water time.
I appreciated these included items because they solve real problems:
- Deck shower and indoor shower bathroom: helps after swimming.
- Swim towels: you don’t have to hunt down a towel on a busy day.
- Soft drinks and bottled water: less shopping, less hassle.
- WiFi: handy if you’re managing pickup timing or just sharing updates.
Also, the stops being a mix of beach drive-bys and actual time on the shore means you’ll get variety. You’re not stuck in a constant “transfer, wait, transfer again” loop.
Crew tone is another highlight from the experience itself. One positive note mentions Stelio (spelled as in the feedback you provided) as super nice, polite, and well-informed. That kind of crew makes a private day feel smoother, especially when you’re boarding by tender and switching between swim gear and photos.
Who should book this Mykonos private cruise (and who might skip it)
This cruise is a strong match if you want:
- A private group experience with up to four people
- A day focused on beach views plus time on the water
- Included essentials like snorkeling gear, SUP (if weather permits), wine/beer, and snacks
- Convenience via pickup from hotels/port/airport
It’s also ideal for couples and small friend groups who want to see the famous beaches without treating every stop like a long hike.
You might consider a different option if:
- You need a full sit-down meal (this is platters, not a meal)
- You dislike weather variability; the experience requires good conditions
- You want mostly quiet beaches with no association to party areas
Should you book the Voreus private cruise?
If you’re chasing a classic Mykonos best-of day with comfort, convenience, and a real chance to swim, I’d say yes. The two-hour Elia Beach stop gives you breathing room, and the included snorkel/SUP options add something active without extra spending.
Just do the math on your all-in budget because of the EUR 200 or EUR 300 fuel surcharge. And pack with the tender boarding in mind: keep your swim stuff easy to grab, and be ready for a little movement between boat and yacht.
