Rent a Yacht at Mykonos Princess V55

The best part of this private yacht day is the freedom to shape it around your group. From Ornos, you can cruise toward Delos and Rinia, then stop at the Mykonos south beaches that look most inviting. Christos, Stamatis, and Konstantinos are among the crew members named by past guests, and the service is clearly a major part of the experience.

I like the all-inclusive setup, with fuel, crew, wine, beer, soft drinks, food, towels, Wi-Fi, and snorkeling gear included. I also like the flexible swimming plan: you can ask to stop at beaches that suit your group instead of following a rigid beach-hopping schedule. The main drawback is the price, which is steep for a small party, and the trip depends on good weather.

Key points to know before you book

• Private space for up to 10 people: The $5,377.45 price is per group, so the value improves sharply when shared by a full party.
• Two-island option: Delos and Rinia are visited when conditions allow, alongside Mykonos’ south beaches.
• Flexible swim stops: You can choose where to stop for swimming and snorkeling rather than simply passing every beach.
• Food and drinks are included: Expect seafood or pesto pasta, snacks, cheese, fresh fruit, coffee, wine, beer, and soft drinks.
• A well-equipped boat day: Towels, snorkeling equipment, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth speakers, and fuel are part of the package.
• A late-morning start: Meet at the Ornos dock at 11:00 am and return there after roughly eight hours.

Leaving Ornos at 11:00 am

Your day begins at the Ornos dock, at the yacht charter meeting point on the waterfront. The location is near public transportation, and the activity ends back at the same place, which keeps the logistics simple.

The 11:00 am start works well for a full day on the water. You avoid an extremely early meeting time, yet still have enough daylight for island stops and several swims. Plan to arrive ready to board, since the experience is built around using the full eight-hour window rather than spending the first part of the day sorting out supplies.

The yacht is the Mykonos Princess V55. The available information does not give a cabin layout or exact seating plan, so you should ask CD Yachting Mykonos about those details if your group has specific needs. What is clear is that a group of up to 10 can fit comfortably enough for a full day, and a party of eight described the boat as immaculate.

That group size matters. Ten people gives you a reasonable per-person cost, but it also means the boat will feel more social than private if everyone is together in one area. A smaller group will have more room, though it will also pay more per person.

The crossing toward Delos and Rinia

The first major option is to head toward Delos and Rinia, the two islands opposite Mykonos. This part of the route is weather permitting, so do not treat it as an absolute promise. Wind and sea conditions can shape the day, and the crew may adjust the plan for comfort and safety.

The value here is variety. Instead of spending all eight hours near Mykonos, you have the chance to see two different islands before returning to the beach circuit. If your group enjoys being on the water as much as swimming, this longer route gives the day a stronger sense of place.

You should also keep your expectations practical. The supplied details confirm visits to the islands, but they do not promise a guided land tour, archaeological commentary, or a set amount of time ashore. Ask the crew whether the plan includes going onto land or viewing the islands from the yacht. If you want a particular balance of island time and swimming, say so early in the day.

The flexible approach is useful here. A private charter lets you tell the captain what matters most. You might prefer more time around the islands, or you might decide that the sea is too inviting to spend long periods away from the water.

Mykonos’ south beaches by yacht

The south-beach portion is likely to be the most relaxed part of the trip. You can stop at the beaches you like for swimming and snorkeling, rather than making one quick scheduled stop and moving on.

That flexibility is especially valuable in Mykonos, where a beach can feel very different depending on the wind, the crowd, and the mood of your group. The yacht gives you a way to see several coastal areas without committing to one beach for the entire afternoon. You can swim, return to the boat for lunch, and move again if the next stop looks better.

The plan does not list a fixed number of beaches or guarantee a specific beach. That is a benefit for guests who like an open schedule, but a weakness for anyone wanting a precise itinerary. If you have a favorite south beach, ask whether it can be included. If you prefer quiet water and longer swim time, tell the crew before the route is settled.

Snorkeling equipment is included, as are towels, so you do not need to pack those items yourself. Still, bring the personal things you want for a day outside, such as sun protection and any medication you need. The supplied details do not specify what sun gear or personal items are available onboard.

Lunch, snacks, and an open drinks tab

The food is more substantial than a simple snack service. You can have pasta with mixed seafood or pasta with pesto sauce, along with snacks, a cheese plate, and a basket of fresh fruit.

This is a sensible menu for a day on the water. The seafood pasta suits a group looking for a proper lunch, while pesto gives you a simpler choice. The cheese and fruit help fill the gaps between swimming stops. If anyone in your party has allergies or dietary restrictions, confirm the options before booking, since no further dietary information is provided.

Drinks are included without a stated limit: wine, beer, soft drinks, and espresso coffee. That can add real value to the price, especially for a group that would otherwise buy drinks and lunch separately at beach restaurants. It also means you can stay on the yacht for more of the day instead of interrupting the route to find food.

The practical point is to pace yourself. An eight-hour boat day with unlimited drinks can become tiring if you treat the beverage service like a contest. Water is not specifically listed in the supplied details, so ask the operator what is included in the soft-drink selection and whether you should bring anything extra.

What the crew adds to the day

The crew is one of the strongest reasons to consider this charter. Christos is named repeatedly in the available feedback, while Stamatis and Konstantinos are also mentioned as part of the team. The descriptions point to a crew that keeps the boat organized, communicates easily, and pays attention throughout the day.

That matters more on a private charter than it does on a short sightseeing cruise. You are not simply sitting through a fixed route. The captain and crew help manage the timing, swimming stops, food, drinks, and movement around the boat. Good service makes the day feel easy. Poor service would make even a beautiful route feel like work.

Communication through WhatsApp was specifically praised, which is useful before the trip as well as during it. Use that channel to confirm the meeting point, weather, dietary requests, and any route priorities. The operator says confirmation is sent at booking unless you book within 12 hours of departure, in which case it arrives as soon as possible, subject to availability.

You should also tell the crew how active your group wants the day to be. A party celebrating with friends may want several swim stops and music from the Bluetooth speakers. Another group may want a slower lunch and more time looking out from the boat. The more clearly you explain that preference, the easier it is to make the private format work for you.

A comfortable boat day, with a few limits

The boat includes Bluetooth speakers and Wi-Fi, which gives your group options. You can play your own music, stay connected, or simply leave the phones alone for a while. Towels and snorkel equipment remove two common sources of packing clutter.

The yacht has been described as well maintained and clean, and a party of 10 found it comfortable for their day. That is encouraging, but comfort is personal. If you are booking for the maximum group size, ask about seating, shade, storage, and toilet facilities before paying. Those details are not supplied here, and they can matter a lot during eight hours at sea.

The weather clause is important. The trip requires good conditions, and poor weather can lead to cancellation. In that case, you are offered a different date or a full refund. This is a fair protection for a sea-based activity, but it can be awkward if your Mykonos stay is short and there is no spare day.

The standard cancellation policy is strict. The experience is non-refundable and cannot be changed for any reason if you cancel or request an amendment. For that reason, I would avoid booking this as a casual placeholder. Check your group’s schedule first, then book when you are confident everyone can attend.

Is $5,377.45 good value?

At first glance, $5,377.45 is a lot for one day. The calculation changes when you divide it among 10 people: it comes to about $538 per person before any currency conversion or booking charges. For eight people, it is about $672 per person. A smaller group pays considerably more per head.

The price includes the yacht, fuel, captain, another crew member, food, unlimited wine, beer, soft drinks, coffee, towels, snorkeling gear, Wi-Fi, and use of the onboard speakers. You are also paying for a private schedule and the ability to choose swim stops. Those inclusions make the comparison different from a basic boat ticket that charges extra for lunch, drinks, or equipment.

I see the strongest value for a full group of friends or family celebrating something special. Ten people can share the fixed cost, and the private setting lets you avoid the compromises of a large shared cruise. The package also suits a group that would otherwise spend heavily on beach clubs, meals, taxis, and separate activities.

I would be more cautious with two or three people. You will still receive the same yacht and service, but the per-person figure becomes hard to justify unless privacy, comfort, and the custom route are your top priorities. If your main goal is simply to swim for a few hours, a less expensive shared boat trip may make more sense.

Who will enjoy this charter most?

I would choose this experience for a group of friends, a family party, or a small celebration where the boat itself is part of the occasion. It suits people who want to mix sightseeing with swimming, eat onboard, and avoid a tight timetable.

It is also a good match for repeat visitors to Mykonos. The route lets you get away from the busiest parts of the island and reach outer islands and quieter beach areas, depending on the weather and the captain’s plan.

You may want to look elsewhere if you need a guaranteed visit to every named location, a formal guide at Delos, or a low-cost activity. The supplied plan allows for changes, and the trip is weather dependent. You should also think twice if anyone in your group dislikes spending a full day on a boat.

The practical booking details

Book for the full group rather than as separate individual tickets. The price covers up to 10 people, so the math works best when the boat is close to capacity.

The meeting point is the Ornos dock, at the yacht charter embarkation point on Unnamed Road, Ornos 846 00, Greece. The start time is 11:00 am, and you return to the same meeting point after approximately eight hours.

Most people can participate, and the location is near public transportation. The available information does not give detailed accessibility guidance, so contact CD Yachting Mykonos directly if anyone in your group has mobility requirements.

Because the activity requires good weather, keep a little flexibility in your Mykonos schedule if possible. If conditions cancel the trip, you can accept another date or receive a full refund, but a short stay may leave you with no practical replacement date.

Should you book the Mykonos Princess V55?

Book it if you have a full or near-full group, value privacy, and want one polished day combining Delos, Rinia, and Mykonos swimming stops. The crew, flexible route, clean boat, included meals, and open drinks service make this far more than a simple transfer around the coast.

I would not book it for a small group on a tight budget, or if you need a guaranteed, fixed route. For the right party, though, the yacht turns a busy island holiday into a relaxed day of swimming, food, music, and open water. The best move is to confirm the weather plan, seating details, dietary needs, and preferred stops before committing to the non-refundable booking.
