Good day trip - The crew of this boat are wonderful! Safety and fun are the priorities! Food served by superior chefs….so many options and so delicious! There was a swim call for those interested. Fun trip! (At one of the islands, I jumped on board a ferry for the trip home. It was too windy for me. The crew was contemplating putting all guests on a ferry for safety. I caught an earlier ferry so I don’t know what was decided. It was so windy, though, that the ferry was rocking and rolling, too )

A must if you want to kick back and enjoy the sights - Absolutely amazing trip! The Marisol crew did a fantastic job taking care of us on our trip to the islands. We had ample time to visit each spot and swim/ have lunch. The water the last week of April was a little cold (for obvious reasons lol) but once you're in, you'll love the temperature if it's a warm 20+ degree day. Aegina island was our favorite part, from the shops, the views and the fantastic street food (trust me, you'll want to try their souvlaki!). Overall, we had a blast and it's a great way to break up a trip to Athens where you can just kick back with a drink, a book and relax for almost the whole day.

Relaxing day at sea - It was incredibly relaxing. Our guide did a fantastic job, she was attentive and genuinely is passionate about what she does. If you looked closely you would notice she was doing walk arounds on the boat to make sure everything was working correctly and that everyone was being safe without the feeling of being watched.

Super relaxing day! - The crew were very attentive. The boat was in very good condition with plenty of places to sit or stretch out. If you’re looking to explore a few islands and have only a day to do it this is perfect. We had plenty of time to relax and just enjoy the cruise and being on the water. We will definitely be back

A trip for everyone: shopping, swimming and visiting ruins while travelling by boat eating and drinking as much as you ❤️ - We had a very enjoyable day. The staff was excellent. The pick up option was perfect as there was a strike on the day. The food was delicious and copious. Swimming at sea a family favourite

Would definitely do again - My friend and I had an amazing time on our boat trip! 🚤☀️ We were picked up at 8:30am and taken to the boat, which was only a short drive away. The staff on the ship were fantastic and the weather was perfect. I recommend bringing a sweater or light jacket for the early morning boat ride to the first island. My favorite part had to be the opportunity to jump off the boat. It was a great experience. If given the chance, I would do again!
