Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a boat licence to join a Salt Speed Boat cruise? No. Every Salt Speed Boat cruise is private and includes an experienced local skipper, so you need no boat licence and no previous sailing experience — just step aboard and enjoy the Ionian.

How much does a private boat cruise from Sivota cost? Our cruises are private and priced per boat, not per person, so the cost is shared across your whole group. The final price depends on your chosen destination, the length of the cruise and the season — send us a message on WhatsApp and we'll reply with a tailored quote in minutes.

What is included in a private cruise? Each cruise gives you the boat exclusively for your group, along with an experienced skipper who knows every cove and beach in the Ionian. There are no shared seats and no fixed timetable — the whole day is built around you.

What's the difference between a private cruise and a shared boat tour? On a shared tour you follow a fixed route and timetable with strangers on board. A private Salt Speed Boat cruise is yours alone — you choose the beaches, the swim stops and the pace, with no crowds and no compromises.

How long does it take to reach Paxos or the Blue Lagoon from Sivota? Approximate ride times from Sivota by speedboat: the Sivota Islands & Blue Lagoon are just ~10 minutes away, Parga is about 30 minutes, Paxos & Antipaxos around 40 minutes, and southern Corfu roughly 1 hour. Exact times depend on sea conditions and the route we choose together on the day.

What will we see on the Paxos & Antipaxos cruise? You'll cruise to the turquoise waters of Antipaxos, the dramatic sea caves and Blue Caves of Paxos, the pretty harbour of Lakka and a string of hidden beaches that bigger boats can't reach. It's widely considered one of the most beautiful boat trips in all of Greece.

What is the Blue Lagoon near Sivota? The Blue Lagoon is the cluster of small islands and crystal-clear coves right off Sivota, including the famous Bella Vraka sandbank and the island of Mourtemeno. The shallow, luminous water turns an unreal shade of blue — and it's only a few minutes from Sivota's port.

Are there beaches you can only reach by boat? Yes — some of the most beautiful beaches around Sivota, Paxos and Antipaxos have no road access at all and can only be reached from the sea. A private speedboat lets you swim at secluded coves most visitors never see.

Do you offer sunset cruises in Sivota? Yes. A private sunset cruise along the Sivota coastline is one of the most romantic ways to end the day, with calm golden water and the islands glowing in the evening light.

Can you arrange a cruise for a bachelorette party or special celebration? Absolutely. A private cruise is a favourite choice for bachelorette and hen parties, birthdays and group celebrations in Sivota — your own boat, your own music and your own beach stops, with the entire day designed around the occasion.

Can you organise a romantic cruise or a marriage proposal at sea? Yes. We regularly host romantic cruises, honeymoons, anniversaries and even marriage proposals on the water. Tell us what you have in mind and we'll help plan a private, unforgettable moment on the Ionian.

Is a private cruise suitable for families with children? Definitely. Our private cruises are family-friendly and carry up to 10 guests, so they suit families with children and small groups of friends alike. Children's life jackets are provided on board.

Can we swim and snorkel during the cruise? Yes — swimming is the heart of every cruise. We stop at calm bays and hidden beaches so you can swim and snorkel in some of the clearest water in the Mediterranean.

Can we bring our own food and drinks on board? Yes. On a private cruise you're welcome to bring your own snacks and drinks to enjoy on board throughout the day.

What should I bring? Just swimwear, a towel, sunscreen and a hat. Everything else is taken care of, so you can simply step on board and relax.

What happens if the weather is bad? Cruises depend on sea and wind conditions for your safety and comfort. If the weather isn't suitable on your chosen day, we'll reschedule your cruise or arrange a refund.

Where do the cruises depart from? All cruises depart from the port of Sivota, in the heart of the village on the coast of Thesprotia, Epirus.

Can you arrange a one-way private transfer instead of a full cruise? Yes — alongside our cruises we offer private sea transfers between Sivota, Parga, Paxos and Corfu, tailored to your schedule.

When is the best time to book and the best time of year for a cruise? The season runs from roughly May to October, with the calmest, clearest seas usually in the morning. Private cruises fill up fast in July and August, so we recommend reserving your date as early as possible.
