Boat rental in Mykonos · Wooden Traditional-Style Boat — 2018 (1978)
Description of Nikolas's sailboat
Sailboat Wooden Traditional-Style Boat 2018 15m
"Samsara" was originally hand-built in 1978 and was fully refitted in 2020 by the same executive craftsmen in the same shipyard in Thessaloniki. The soul of Samsara remains intact with her Iroko wood hull completely preserved and refreshed. Mahogany and pinewood touches blend the beauty of tradition with the comfort of modern luxury. 20 years ago, over 14,000 of these wooden boats were in operation in Greece. Now only couple of hundreds remain onboard with only few dozens being originally hand-restored by master craftsmen. Below deck Samara has 3 custom crafted cabins each of which sleep 2 people. Each cabin comes with a double bed to guarantee you a great night’s sleep and our master cabin has its own en-suite, complete with rainfall shower. There’s also a separate bathroom and modern, custom designed kitchen. In addition to perfect onboard amenities and comfort, Samsara also comes complete with its own 6 person tender boat with a 2020, 15hp mercury engine which allows you to anchor and easily explore secluded beaches and shallow waters. No boat is complete without its deck but Samsara’s is something special. With a prow-to stern lounge area, you can soak up the sun or take a break under our pop-up canopy which can be easily assembled to shelter you from the midday sun. When it’s time for lunch, we can comfortably seat 20 people at one of three tables. Afterwards, drift away with the sway of the tide in our on deck hammock. Make memories aboard Samsara, on your own private cruise. Relax for the day, exploring the numerous sandy south beaches of Mykonos, the famous beach clubs or the the calmness of the uninhabited island of Rhenia. If culture is more your thing , dive into the ancient Greek history by visiting the archeological site of Delos, the epicenter of ancient Greece. Samsara is available for private bookings and can accommodate up to 21 guests on daily cruises or 6 people for multi day experiences. Celebrate an occasion or simply get together with family and friends to visit hidden beaches, snorkel in crystal clear waters or watch the sunset with the waves as your soundtrack. Indicative Itinerary: Embark at 10am at Ornos beach or Mykonos Marina. Enjoy a welcome drink as we set sail to your preferred destination (Mykonos south beach, Delos or Rhenia island)or visit the beautiful caves of Tragonisi Island. Dive from the side of the boat into the blue or simply kick back and soak up the sun on your own beach, far away from the crowds. Join us back on board at 1pm for a chef-inspired, locally sourced lunch then snooze on the deck as we set sail again at 2pm along the scenic coastlines.

Amazing experience we would highly recommend to any visitors to Mykonos. The boat is well kept, and the guide is knowledgeable, friendly, and experienced! We had a lovely time with great food. Highly recommend!
I have rented multiple boats in the past - this beats all of them. This was the most cozy and home feeling boat. The food was the best I had on my 2 week long trip to Europe! Would recommend to anyone!
Nicolas and his team were first class. From the time we arrived on board until we left we were taken care. Pavlos and the Captain were beyond accommodating. We had high winds that day, and they made sure every step of the way we were comfortable. Pavlos explained the various Greek islands, took amazing photos of us, gave welcome shots, and made us feel like family. The captain knew the water/inlet and handled the boat extremely well under difficult conditions. The boat itself was gorgeous and gave an authentic (non-touristy) feel. The two of us had the boat for the full day and were taken to a private beach where were able to swim / snorkel, listen to music and have a delicious homemade Greek lunch with recipes from their family. The best food we’ve had on the island yet - and we’ve been to all the hot spots. We would highly recommend, and next season when we come back to Mykonos we will book them again!
Pavlos was an amazing and attentive host. The boat is an Greek fishing boat which let us experience Greece an a very authentic way. We thoroughly enjoyed our day.
Great crew and boat. We had a wonderful day! Thank you
