Sunset Champagne - Evening Cruise

Experience a Breathtaking Sunset at Sea

Set sail on our Sunset Champagne Cruise and discover the magic of Zakynthos during the golden hour. Swim in the turquoise waters at the back side of Turtle Island - this way, we avoid disturbing the turtle nests located at the front. Then sail along the impressive coastline of chalky white cliffs towards the Keri Caves, where you can swim and snorkel in the crystal-clear waters. The final part of this enchanting sunset cruise takes us to the magnificent Mizithres rock formations. This breathtaking corner of Zante offers a serene escape and is famous for its unbelievably tranquil atmosphere. As we sail between these two iconic rocks, we’ll toast with a glass of Greek champagne and watch the sky transform into shades of gold and pink, a social media favourite and a true highlight for many visitors, offering one of the most beautiful sunsets in all of Greece.

Tour Program

Join our Sunset Champagne Cruise and let your worries melt away as you take in the breathtaking panoramic views of Zakynthos! Our sunset cruise begins in the late afternoon when you are picked up by bus and transferred to the south of Zante. Upon arrival, the relaxation begins as you board the cruise in the picturesque harbor of Agios Sostis and sail towards the setting sun, with the salty sea breeze flowing through your hair. As we leave Agios Sostis harbor, passing the famous Cameo Island, you’ll see the stunning harbor skyline as the bright turquoise waters of the Ionian beckon.

Our first destination is the stunning Turtle Island (also known as Marathonisi), where we anchor at the back side of the island for a refreshing swim in the turquoise waters surrounded by sea caves. By doing so, we respect the nesting area of the Caretta Caretta loggerhead turtles, whose delicate nests are located on the front side of the island. Your guide will share fascinating insights about this uninhabited gem in the heart of the National Marine Park of Zakynthos, one of the most important nesting grounds for these endangered turtles.

Leaving Turtle Island, we sail along the breathtaking Zakynthos coastline towards the southwest, passing striking white cliffs and immersing ourselves in the mesmerizing blue hues of the Ionian Sea. Our next stop is the Keri Caves, where you can enjoy an evening swim and snorkel in the crystal-clear waters... pure bliss!

Back on board, it’s time to experience the grand finale of this evening cruise as we sail towards the outstanding beauty of the Mizithres Rocks. These iconic rock formations exude an enchanting serenity and are among the most photographed locations on Zakynthos, a true social media favorite featured on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. This is the perfect setting for your picture-perfect moments! Here, we raise our champagne glasses to the good things in life, watching the sun dip between these two majestic rocks as the horizon ignites with swirls of pink and orange before fading into deep blues and purples over the sea.

Finally, as we bid farewell to the sun, the Sunset Champagne Cruise guided by the last light of day and illuminated by soft blue LED lights , sails back to Agios Sostis, with the glowing sunset and endless blue sea creating a breathtaking setting.

Join us on this unforgettable journey to experience Mother Nature at her finest. This unique Zakynthos sunset cruise will create memories to last a lifetime!
