Six hours in the southern waters of Zakynthos. The turtles, the caves, and the kind of silence that only the open sea provides.

The northern coastline gets the photographs. But the south is where the island comes alive beneath the surface. This is the National Marine Park — protected, unhurried, and best experienced from the water at a pace that lets you notice things.

The Luna leaves the port of Zakynthos at 9:00 am. Six hours on the water, returning at 15:00, with two of the most compelling destinations in the southern Ionian as the fixed points of the morning.

Your transfer collects you from your accommodation and brings you to the port. From the moment you step aboard, the morning belongs to your group — up to twelve of you, a skipper who knows every corner of the National Marine Park, and a steward whose only concern is that your glass is never empty and your fruit is always cold.

The two destinations are fixed. Everything else — the order, the pace, the stops along the way — belongs to your skipper and the conditions of the morning.

At Marathonisi the engine drops to a murmur and the boat drifts into the protected bay. The Caretta caretta loggerhead turtles surface here quietly — ancient, unhurried, completely indifferent to the presence of your boat. Your skipper knows where to position the Luna. Stay quiet, stay still, and the water will do the rest.

At the Keri Caves the boat slows and enters the limestone chambers where the light turns the water a shade of green that deepens as you go further in. You can swim here — inside the caves, in the clear water outside them, wherever the conditions are right. The water in the southern park is some of the clearest in the Mediterranean. Take your time with it.

At 15:00 the Luna returns to port. Your transfer is waiting.

M/Y Luna — The Flagship of the Ionian

The Azimut Atlantis 50 is a different proposition entirely. Designed by Carlo Galeazzi, it is a yacht that looks different from the moment you see it — the arrowhead profile, the glass-dominated hardtop, the continuous flow from helm station to swim platform that makes the entire deck feel like one open, connected space. Step aboard and the first thing you notice is the light. The hardtop is largely glass, and as the sun comes out it darkens automatically — keeping out the heat while maintaining the extraordinary openness that defines this yacht. The retractable sunroof opens to the sky when you want the full Mediterranean experience. Twin 800 HP Volvo engines give Luna a presence on the water that matches her appearance — powerful, smooth, and entirely unhurried about it. Three staterooms below deck mean that Luna is as comfortable at anchor as she is underway. For a group that wants the best — more space, more power, more of everything — this is the boat. Up to 12 guests. A crew of 2. And a yacht that raises the standard of what a day on the Ionian can be.

Tour's Location

Zante Voyage, Agiou Dionisiou, Zakinthos, Greece

Are the destinations fixed?

Yes — this cruise is specifically designed around Marathonisi and the Keri Caves. The order in which they are visited, the time spent at each, and any additional stops nearby are down to your skipper and the conditions on the day.

How many people can join the cruise?

The Luna accommodates up to 12 guests.

Is pick-up from our accommodation included?

Yes. A private transfer will collect you from your hotel, villa or any other accommodation on the island and bring you to the port of Zakynthos. The same transfer takes you home at the end of the day.

What food and drinks are included?

Snacks, fresh fruit, water, wine, beer, coffee and soft drinks are all included and served throughout the cruise. No meals are included on this cruise.

Are there swim stops?

Yes — at the Keri Caves and at any other spot your skipper finds worth stopping at along the way.

What happens if the weather is bad?

Safety always comes first. If sea conditions are unsuitable, we will reschedule you on the next available date at no extra cost, or offer a full refund if you are unable to join a future cruise.

Is there a minimum number of guests?

No minimum — the boat is yours regardless of how many people are in your group, up to a maximum of 12.

Can children come on board?

Yes, children are welcome on board accompanied by an adult.

What should we bring?

Sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat and a towel. Swimwear of course. A light cover-up for the breeze when the boat is moving. Everything else is taken care of.

Is the price per person or for the whole boat?

The price is for the entire boat — not per person. VAT is included.

Will we definitely see turtles?

Sea turtles are wild animals and sightings cannot be guaranteed. However the waters around Marathonisi are one of the most important loggerhead nesting sites in the Mediterranean and turtles surface regularly to breathe. Your skipper knows these waters well and will position the boat carefully. Stay quiet and still — it is almost always rewarded.
