This private yacht tour is built for hanging out at sea on your schedule, with a route that can swing toward Delos and Rhinia or stick to the south beaches of Mykonos. I especially love the all-day “hosted” feel: snacks and drinks are onboard and there’s no need to hunt for a place to eat or refresh. I also like the practical extras, like snorkeling equipment and a Bluetooth speaker setup, because they turn a pretty cruise into an active day without extra planning.

The one thing to consider is simple: this experience requires good weather. If conditions are rough, the day can be changed or refunded, so you’ll want a flexible mindset if you’re booking during an iffy forecast window.

Key highlights you’ll feel on day one

  • Private yacht, up to 10 people: you control the pace without crowds competing for spots
  • Fully renovated in 2021: newer comfort on board makes the time at sea feel easy
  • Unlimited drinks plus snack spreads: wine, beer, soft drinks, cheese plate, fruit basket, and finger food
  • Snorkeling gear included: you can actually use it without paying for rentals
  • Two routing styles: options for Delos/Rhinia or a south-beach Mykonos day
  • Touring with real people named Kostas and Alex: service is repeatedly described as top-notch

Entering the day: Ornos meeting point and private-yacht vibes

You start at Ornos Beach (Ornos 846 00, Greece), and the tour ends back at the same meeting point. That matters more than it sounds. With a waterfront departure, you lose less time getting organized and more time just settling in and enjoying the water views.

This is a private setup for your group (up to 10), so the day doesn’t feel like you’re crammed into someone else’s schedule. You’ll meet your boat at the departure point, which keeps things straightforward instead of turning the start into a maze of instructions.

Price and value for a group up to 10

Boat - yacht tours at Mykonos - Price and value for a group up to 10
The price is $3,414.93 per group (up to 10) for about 5 to 8 hours. If you book with a full group of 10, you’re roughly in the neighborhood of $342 per person. If you go with fewer people, the per-person cost rises fast—but you still get a yacht day that feels built for sharing, celebrating, or just treating yourselves.

Here’s what makes the cost make sense to me: the package covers a lot that usually turns into add-ons. You’re not just paying for the boat. You’re getting unlimited wine and beer, soft drinks, a snack and finger-food spread, a cheese plate, fruit basket, towels, and onboard extras like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth audio. It’s the kind of all-in structure that lets you relax instead of doing mental math every hour.

What’s included onboard (and what that means for your day)

Boat - yacht tours at Mykonos - What’s included onboard (and what that means for your day)
The yacht is described as fully renovated in 2021, which signals better comfort and a newer onboard setup. Beyond that, the inclusions are the real story, because they shape how the day actually feels.

On board, you can expect:

  • Unlimited wine and unlimited beer
  • Unlimited soft drinks
  • Snacks, finger food, and a cheese plate plus a fruit basket
  • Towels
  • Wi-Fi
  • Bluetooth stereo speakers
  • Snorkeling equipment

That combination is great if you want a day that switches between cruising and small breaks. You can eat lightly while you’re moving, cool off with a drink, then switch into snorkeling mode when you find a spot that looks good. You’re not stuck waiting for a restaurant timing window.

Delos and Rhinia vs. south beaches: two ways to spend your time

Boat - yacht tours at Mykonos - Delos and Rhinia vs. south beaches: two ways to spend your time
One of the best parts of this tour is that the route is flexible. The experience can include visiting Delos and Rhinia (two islands opposite Mykonos) or it can focus on the famous south beaches of Mykonos such as Ornos, Psarou, Platis Gialos, Paraga, Paradise, Super Paradise, Agrari, and Elia, plus Kalo Livadi.

If you choose Delos and Rhinia

Going toward islands on the opposite side of Mykonos gives you a different coastline feeling than a pure south-beach run. From the guest perspective, the value is that you get more “at-sea” time with island scenery ahead, and snorkeling becomes more than a checkbox. You’ll be out in the water where those locations are part of the day’s rhythm.

A practical tip: islands routes tend to reward people who don’t mind a bit of cruising time in between swims. If you’re looking for nonstop stop-and-go, you might prefer a beach-heavy route.

If you choose the south beaches

A south-coast route is great when you want variety within a single day and you like the idea of bouncing along named stretches of coastline. You can move through multiple beaches rather than betting everything on one single swimming spot.

The trade-off is that you’ll be more focused on choosing where to swim rather than chasing a single “island moment.” If you’re the type who likes planning your own day on the water, the beach option fits that style well.

Customize your private tour: what that flexibility changes

This is billed as a private tour where you can customize it “as you like,” and you really feel that in how the day can be paced. The itinerary isn’t rigid in a way that traps you. You’re given a structure with the key areas (Delos/Rhinia or south beaches), and then you can steer your day toward what you want most: longer stretches on anchor, more active snorkeling, or more time just cruising.

If your group has different energy levels, this is a big win. One person might want to linger for photos and a swim. Another might want to keep the boat moving and see several beaches. A private setup makes it easier to avoid the friction that comes with fixed group tours.

On-board service that feels personal (and not overly formal)

Boat - yacht tours at Mykonos - On-board service that feels personal (and not overly formal)
Service is a recurring theme in the feedback, and that’s exactly what makes a yacht day worth it. You’re not just handing over money and hoping for the best. You’re supported on board with drinks and snacks already there, and the hospitality style stays relaxed.

Some trips mention skipper Kostas and Alex specifically, and they’re described as friendly and delivering a “five star” day. That lines up with what I look for: people who make the experience feel smooth without hovering.

One note from a review that I found especially useful: there can be a menu element where you can choose items like sushi, and drinks like champagne may also show up depending on what’s offered that day. I wouldn’t treat that as guaranteed on every outing, but it’s a good sign that this is more than just basic yacht provisioning.

Snorkeling gear is included, so use it (smartly)

Snorkeling equipment is included, and that’s a quiet advantage. On a lot of boat days, snorkeling is optional but the gear rental isn’t. Here, you can bring less gear anxiety and spend more time actually looking underwater.

A practical way to enjoy it:

  • Treat snorkeling as a planned mini-activity, not a last-minute rush.
  • Use towels and take a quick wipe-down after, since you’ll be back onboard soon.
  • If your group has different comfort levels, you can split time so everyone gets a turn without feeling pressured.

I also like that you have Bluetooth stereo speakers onboard. If the water moment hits, you can keep the vibe going without needing to bring a separate setup.

Wi-Fi and Bluetooth: the modern conveniences that don’t ruin the day

Boat - yacht tours at Mykonos - Wi-Fi and Bluetooth: the modern conveniences that don’t ruin the day
You get Wi-Fi and a Bluetooth stereo system. On paper, that sounds like a gadget list. In real life, it can be a pressure relief. If you want to check messages, share a photo to friends back home, or pull up something for music, it’s there. If not, you can ignore it and still enjoy the sea-focused day.

The best use of these extras is simple: they keep the day from feeling disconnected, especially if you’re traveling with people who like staying lightly in touch while still vacationing hard.

What the tour duration means for your planning

The experience runs about 5 to 8 hours. That time window is perfect for getting multiple “modes” in one day: cruise, snack, swim/snorkel, relax, then a slower final stretch back toward Ornos.

Here’s how I’d plan your day around it:

  • If you want the most swimming and snorkeling time, target the longer end of the window.
  • If your schedule includes other Mykonos activities, the shorter end keeps the yacht as the centerpiece without stealing your whole vacation day.

If you’re unsure, pick based on your group’s energy. Yacht days feel best when people aren’t rushing off immediately after.

Drinks and food spreads: unlimited helps, but pace matters

The onboard setup includes unlimited wine, unlimited beer, and unlimited soft drinks, plus a steady stream of snacks like finger food, cheese plate, and fruit basket. That’s a strong combination because it supports both a social day (drinks + conversation) and a lighter day (small bites between swims).

I’d still suggest you pace yourself. Unlimited alcohol is easy to overdo, especially in sun and on open water. If your goal is to snorkel and enjoy the scenery, keep the drinks spread out and treat food like fuel, not just snacks.

Who this yacht trip suits best

This tour is a strong fit if you want:

  • A private experience with a group size up to 10
  • A relaxed day with snorkeling equipment and onboard comfort
  • A route that can be customized toward islands or south beaches
  • A setup where food and drinks are already handled

It’s also ideal for couples wanting privacy and couples traveling with friends who want a shared celebration vibe. If you hate rigid schedules and want the freedom to set your own rhythm—this is the right kind of day.

Final call: should you book CD Yachting Mykonos?

If your idea of a great Mykonos day is water-first and low-stress, I’d book this. The value comes from the combination of a private yacht, a modern 2021 renovation, and the fact that the package includes unlimited drinks, real snack spreads, towels, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth music, and snorkeling gear.

I’d only hesitate if you’re traveling on a tight schedule that can’t flex with weather, because the experience depends on good conditions. If you’re comfortable waiting for the right day and you want a genuinely relaxing way to see Mykonos from the water, this one checks the boxes.
