Matching the boat format to your group
A shared tour is usually the simplest choice for solo travellers, couples and small groups who are comfortable with a fixed timetable. It offers good value and a social atmosphere, but stop durations, music and onboard rhythm are shared with other guests.
A private yacht or gulet costs more overall yet can become attractive for families or groups dividing the price. Privacy, flexible swimming time, food preferences and celebration arrangements are the main advantages. Flexibility is never unlimited: licensed capacity, protected zones and the captain’s safety decisions still apply.
What to consider before you choose
Compare total price rather than headline price. Ask whether fuel, lunch, drinks, harbour charges, towels and transfers are included, then request the cancellation and poor-weather conditions in writing.
A note on routes and sea conditions
Published routes are a plan, not a promise. The captain may adjust stops and timing for wind, sea traffic and guest safety.

Frequently asked questions
Clear answers to the questions travellers most often ask before booking.
How should I choose the right option?
Start with your group size, preferred pace, privacy needs and the places you most want to see. Then compare the boat type and departure point. Compare privacy, flexibility, comfort and value to choose the right boat experience.
What should I confirm before booking?
Confirm the licensed capacity, departure time and place, included services, payment terms and the cancellation or bad-weather policy in writing.
Can the planned route change?
Yes. Wind, sea conditions, local restrictions and safety can require a different stop or schedule. The captain makes the final operational decision.
