About the experience

Set off on an unforgettable journey to two of Zakynthos’ most iconic locations — the world-famous Navagio Beach and the serene Marathonisi (Turtle Island) — all in the comfort of a private boat cruise tailored entirely to your pace.

The day begins with a cruise up the island’s rugged northwest coastline, where sheer white cliffs tower above sapphire waters. After about an hour, you’ll arrive at Navagio Beach, often referred to as Shipwreck Cove. Only accessible by sea, this remote bay is home to the rusting remains of a smuggler's ship — stranded dramatically on white pebbled sands beneath towering limestone cliffs. You’ll have time to swim in the clear turquoise waters, take stunning photos, and enjoy the peaceful isolation that makes this beach world-renowned.

From there, your skipper will guide you south, offering views of hidden bays and rock arches along the way, until you reach Marathonisi, a small uninhabited island shaped like a turtle. Nestled within Laganas Bay, Marathonisi is not just visually stunning — it’s also a protected nesting site for the endangered Caretta-Caretta sea turtle. You’ll have time to swim or snorkel in the shallow, clear waters around the island or relax on its fine white-sand beach. If you're lucky, you might even spot a turtle gliding gracefully beneath the surface.

This is a perfect tour for couples, families, or friends who want to see the most famous landmarks of Zakynthos, but skip the crowds and rigid schedules of large group trips. The cruise offers plenty of flexibility — you decide how long to stay at each stop, whether to swim, explore, or just unwind on deck.
