From Porto Vromi: Shipwreck Beach Private Boat Cruise
About This Experience
The same operator and the same harbour as the standard Porto Vromi cruise, with the boat to yourselves. Two hours, priced per group rather than per person, which changes the arithmetic entirely once there are four or more of you.
The route is the familiar one — north to Navagio for the offshore view, then back down the coast for swimming — but the stops and the timing are negotiable with the skipper, and the operator writes the Profile of Poseidon explicitly into the return leg rather than leaving it to chance.
What a private boat actually buys on this coast is control over two things: when you go, and how long you stay. The mid-morning departures on the shared boats coincide with everyone else's, and the coves get busy; a private charter can go earlier, linger at a cove that happens to be empty, and hold position on the Poseidon profile until everyone on board has actually found it.
It is a short charter at two hours. If you want the full west-coast run with several long swim stops, look at the longer private options rather than assuming this one stretches.

What Travelers Say
Rated 4.8/5 by 95 verified GetYourGuide travelers.
It was a wonderful expedition, brilliantly led by Captain Babis to Navagio Beach, which we could contemplate in near solitude. The captain showed us numerous caves (the Treasure Cave with its skylight, and the Blue Caves) and rock formations like the Dolphin and Poseidon’s Face. He took us to great swimming spots by White Beach and the sun-drenched Porto Steniti bay, where he recommended a cave for swimming exploration ☺️ Thank you for an unforgettable cruise! 🏊♀️🛥️🌊

A spectacular and fun ride Probably the sea with the most amazing colors on the whole island. Two amazing stops for swimming and singing off-key in the blue caves, surrounded by pirate treasures and rocks that bring to mind ancient gods. It's magical... maybe a bit too short.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the price per person or per boat?
Per group, for up to ten people. That makes it expensive for a couple and competitive for a family or a group of friends — divide the headline figure by your party size before comparing it with the shared boats.
Can we change the route?
Within reason, yes — that is the point of a charter. Discuss the stops with the skipper at the harbour; the Profile of Poseidon is already written into the operator's stated return route.
Where do we meet the boat?
Porto Vromi Maries port, the same harbour as the operator's scheduled cruises. Show your voucher at the desk.
Is two hours long enough?
It is enough for the Navagio offshore view, a swim stop or two and the Poseidon profile on the way back. If you want three or four long swim stops, book a longer charter instead.
Can we still land at Navagio on a private boat?
No. The closure applies to every vessel — private charters included — through 31 October 2026, with a standoff of roughly 50 metres from the beach.
