Private Bareboat from Paros – 7 Days aboard Excess 11 through the Western Cyclades
Paros offers a prime, well-connected marina with swift routes into the Western Cyclades. Facilities are modern, provisioning is easy, and the sailing lanes fan out toward tranquil coves and dramatic volcanic silhouettes. Launching from here lets you reach quieter bays before noon and arrive in storybook villages with time to spare for an evening promenade.
About Our Service in Paros, Sifnos, Folegandros, Milos, Polyegos, Kimolos, Serifos & Antiparos
This private bareboat charter hands you the helm—literally and figuratively. Use our route as a canvas and paint each day as you like. Request a skipper if you prefer to relax fully, or add a hostess/cook for effortless onboard hospitality. We can coordinate private transfers, provisioning (at select bases), early check‑in, and an outboard so shore runs are swift and simple. Everything is tuned to your preferences, from the first inquiry to your final line ashore.
Day 1 – Embarkation in Paros (17:00)
Welcome briefing, cabin set‑up, and a sunset drink overlooking Parikia or Naoussa’s harbor lights. Dine onboard or at a taverna featuring fresh fish and Cycladic recipes. Overnight in the marina or a calm nearby bay.
Day 2 – Paros → Sifnos (Platy Gialos) – 23 NM
A scenic hop delivers you to Sifnos’ soft-sand arc of Platy Gialos. Swim, snorkel, and then explore Apollonia’s gentle maze of lanes and boutiques. Try the island’s beloved chickpea specialties before returning to the boat for a quiet anchorage beneath a star-lit sky.
Day 3 – Sifnos → Folegandros – 20 NM
Sail toward dramatic cliffs and crystalline bays. Anchor near Karavostasis, then climb to Chora for views that seem to float above the Aegean. Visit Panagia Church and linger for an amber sunset. Dinner ashore at a traditional taverna captures the island’s simple, honest cuisine.
Day 4 – Folegandros → Milos – 30 NM
Volcanic Milos is a natural sculpture park. Consider a swim near the otherworldly whiteness of Sarakiniko, explore Pollonia’s waterfront, or rent a small vehicle for a quick look at colorful fishing huts around Klima. Your cockpit becomes the best seat in the house come evening.
Day 5 – Milos → Polyegos & Kimolos – 20 NM
Thread turquoise coves around uninhabited Polyegos for a swim-and-picnic day, then continue to low-key Kimolos. Wander Chorio’s white lanes, find a local tavern for dinner, and enjoy the hush of a calm anchorage.
Day 6 – Kimolos → Serifos – 20 NM
Serifos greets you with rugged outlines and sandy crescents. Anchor in Livadi or a secluded cove and stroll up to Chora for broad Aegean panoramas. Choose between a lazy beach day or a short hike to a chapel above the harbor. Cap the day with fresh fish and capers at a simple seaside table.
Day 7 – Serifos → Antiparos → Paros – 27 NM + 2 NM
Break the return with a clear-water stop at Antiparos—swim, snorkel, or browse its village lanes—then make the short hop back to Paros. Share a farewell dinner in Parikia and a final cockpit toast to a week of western Cycladic variety.
Day 8 – Disembarkation in Paros (09:00)
Complete check‑out after breakfast. If time allows, enjoy a last harbor stroll before departure.
About Our Yacht – Excess 11
The Excess 11 punches above its size with bright interiors, five guest cabins, and convivial outdoor spaces that invite lingering. The saloon’s wrap of windows enhances light and sightlines, while the cockpit shelters mealtime gatherings from breeze and spray. Up front, a foredeck lounge becomes your private cinema for sunrise and moonrise alike. Under sail, the catamaran tracks surely and trims easily, elevating both confidence for new skippers and enjoyment for experienced crews. It’s an elegant, practical match for a route that mixes open passages with pocket anchorages.
If you’re dreaming of volcanic coastlines, hushed coves, and villages where time slows, this Paros round-trip delivers. Add optional crew if you want to focus purely on the moment—either way, the freedom to plot each day is entirely yours.
