Escape the port entirely on a private crewed boat charter, gliding to Patmos's most inaccessible sea caves, luminous blue coves and deserted islets — a luxury Aegean escape that simply cannot be reached by foot or road.
What to expect
Your private crewed vessel departs directly from Skala harbour, heading for the sapphire waters surrounding Patmos and its neighbouring islets. The captain anchors in hidden coves — Vagia, Livadi Geranou, Lambi — where the water shifts from turquoise to deep cobalt and the only sound is the sea. Snorkelling equipment is on board, and a spread of local cheeses, olives, and chilled white wine is served on deck. The pace is entirely yours: the boat returns to Skala in ample time for all-aboard.
Good to know
