# Private Sunset Boat Charter during the "Golden Hours"

**Guidekin's take:** Shape a sunset boat outing around your interests on a private tour for your party. A captain, bottled water and snorkel gear are included; the charter is priced per group, with a fuel surcharge and extra passenger fees above six guests. 4.99 from 170 reviews at €631 per group/vehicle for 3h.

In our comparison: #3 of 18 in Sunset Cruises, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

All of our private charters are unique and customized to the interests of the guests... from bird watchers, to sunbathers, snorkelers, photographers, divers, cocktail connoisseurs, food enthusiasts, folks seeking the “best of” the islands to casual fun boaters just looking to just enjoy the breeze and some time on the water.  

A “typical day” might include swimming, snorkeling, sightseeing, beaching, cliff jumping, lunch, hiking, history, story telling, music, dancing and more. Guests are welcome to visit the popular spots people often talk about, mentioned in guidebooks, on social media, etc... but also encouraged to explore tons of lesser visited places that have yet to go “mainstream.”

**Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point
