We offer a flexible instalment plan with specified deadlines, applicable to both “Private Cruise Bookings” and “Shared Cruise Cabin Bookings”. Booking is confirmed with 10% payment. You have the option to pay the rest of your total booking cost upfront with one (90%) or two additional payments 40% and 50%.

For bookings made 90 or more days before the cruise start date:

  • 10% of the total booking cost is payable either at the time of booking or within 24 hours (as a reservation).
  • An additional 40% of the total booking cost should be settled no later than 30 days after the booking date.
  • The remaining 50% of the total booking cost must be paid no less than 60 days before the event start date (please refer to your booking date for the exact date).

For bookings made between 90 and 60 days before the cruise start date: 

  • 10% of the total booking cost is payable either at the time of booking or within 24 hours (as a reservation).
  • An additional 40% of the total booking cost should be settled no later than 30 days after the booking date.
  • The remaining 50% of the total booking cost must be paid no less than 60 days before the cruise start date. (please note when booking 60 days before the cruise start second (40%) and third (50%) payment are due on the same date therefore only second payment of 90% applies)

For booking less than 60 days before the cruise start date:

  • 10% of the total booking cost is payable either at the time of booking or within 24 hours (as a reservation).
  • An additional 90% of the total booking cost must be settled inside 7 days after the booking date. 

Please refer to your booking for the exact dates. Booking date is the date on which the first payment was successful.

When it comes to payment, you can choose between two methods: wire transfer and credit card payment. We recommend using a combination of both.

To secure your spot, an initial payment of 10% is required. We suggest using a credit card for this initial payment to prevent overlapping bookings that could occur while a wire transfer is being confirmed. The good news is, we will not be adding any credit card processing fees to this transaction.

For the second payment (40%) and the third payment (50%), we recommend using a wire transfer. We’ve successfully handled wire transactions for the past ten years without any issues. While wire transfer fees from a USD account to a EUR account typically range from around $15 to $50, the fees are almost nonexistent between EUR accounts. To make wire payments more convenient for USD transactions, we can provide a US bank account specifically for USD currency. 

If you prefer, you can continue to use a credit card payment method for the second and third payments. However, please note that there will be an additional processing fee of 3% added to the remaining amount.

  1. Transportation: Flights, ferries, and taxis to and from the departure and arrival locations are not included.

  2. Dinners Out: During the trip, we encourage our guests to experience the local cuisine and culture by enjoying two dinners at local restaurants. 

  3. Excessive Alcohol Consumption: While alcohol drinks are available as an additional amenity, excessive alcohol consumption is not covered. 

  4. Kiteboarding Kite Foil and Wing Foil Lessons: Kiteboarding and wing foil lessons are not included in the package price. If you wish to take lessons during your trip, please note that they will be at additional charge.

  5. Assistance: With this service, we are keeping you safe while you progress on your way to becoming an independent upwind rider. Service is intended for people who do not need more lessons but need more practice to be able to stay upwind. At the same time, we are making kite spots safer for other independed users on the water. Besides motor-boat escort and unlimited upwind motorboat reach this service includes assistance with kite setup and safety checks.

  6. Equipment Rentals: The package price does not cover the rental of kiteboarding, kite foiling and wing foiling equipment. If you wish to rent gear, please be aware that this will be an additional cost.

You will be sharing the catamaran with your friends and family together with your Captain and your Chef.

EMBARKATION

Parikia, Paros Island, Saturday 6pm

DISEMBARKATION

Parikia, Paros Island, Saturday 9am

To get to Parikia, Paros island from anywhere in the world, you can follow these steps:

Fly to Athens, Mykonos, or Santorini: These three islands have international airports and are well-connected to major cities around the world. You can search for flights from your location to any of these three airports using online travel platforms.

From there, you can catch a ferry to Paros. The ferry schedules vary depending on the time of year, so it’s best to check the ferry company’s website or ask for information at the port. The ferry ride from Athens takes around 4-5 hours, from Mykonos takes 2 hours, and from Santorini takes 2-3 hours.

Or take a connecting flight from Athens to Paros: If you prefer to fly directly to Paros, you can take a connecting flight from Athens. Aegean Airlines and Olympic Air operate several flights per day from Athens International Airport to Paros Island National Airport, with a flight time around 40-45 minutes. You can book the flight tickets directly from the airlines’ websites or from online travel platforms.

Once you reach Paros by ferry, you are already within walking distance from our boat. If taking a flight to get to Paros, you can take a taxi or a bus to reach Parikia, which is the main port and capital of the island. The distance between Paros airport and Parikia is around 10 km, and the journey takes around 20-25 minutes by taxi.

Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. We understand that unforeseen circumstances can occur. In the event that your plane or ferry is late, we will wait for you. Depending on the delay, we may slightly adjust our itinerary to accommodate your arrival, but we will ensure that we don’t move too far away from the initial pickup location.

Yes, absolutely. If you arrive at the boat earlier than 6pm, there’s no need for you to walk around with all your gear. We’ll gladly take your belongings and keep them in a safe and dry while you go for lunch and possibly a walk around this beautiful place.
