Milos Island Information
Depart by Luxury Yacht from this volcanic Cyclades gem, where dramatic coastlines meet crystal-clear Aegean waters
About Milos
Milos rises from the Aegean Sea as a volcanic masterpiece, drawing travelers to its otherworldly landscapes and pristine waters. Navy Blue Sea Transfers depart from this stunning Greek Islands base, offering Private Yacht Charters to Ios and beyond. The island's legendary Sarakiniko beach features lunar-white rock formations that glow against turquoise waters. Ancient Kleftiko sea caves once sheltered pirates and now welcome snorkelers exploring their crystal depths. From the colorful Syrmata boat houses of Klima to the panoramic views of Plaka village, Milos offers authentic Cyclades charm. Your Boat Transfer journey begins here, where volcanic beauty meets Mediterranean hospitality.
Things to Do in Milos
-
Explore the legendary Kleftiko sea caves by Boat Tour, swimming through arched rock formations where pirates once anchored their vessels in hidden turquoise lagoons.
-
Walk across the lunar landscape of Sarakiniko beach at sunrise. The white volcanic rocks create an otherworldly backdrop for photos before your Cyclades departure.
-
Discover authentic Greek Islands village life in Plaka and Klima. Colorful boat houses and traditional tavernas offer a memorable farewell to Milos before your Sea Transfer.
Ios Island Information
Today, this breathtaking cove has transformed from a feared pirate stronghold into one of Greece's most sought-after natural wonders.
About Ios
Your Navy Blue yacht ties up at Ormos, the port of Ios, while the ferry crowd is still queuing somewhere else. The island keeps its whitewashed Chora high on the hill, reached by stone steps that climb past small chapels to a ridge of old windmills. Below, Mylopotas stretches out in soft sand and shallow water, while Manganari and Agia Theodoti sit quieter along the southern coast. The Bronze Age settlement at Skarkos rests on a low rise near the port, and local tradition places Homer's grave in the north. From your Boat Transfer departure in Milos to this Greek Islands arrival, the open water sets the pace.
Things to Do in Ios
-
Climb the stone steps from Ormos to Chora, past the church of Panagia Gremiotissa, and stand among the windmills on the ridge as the Aegean opens below.
-
Walk the long sweep of Mylopotas beach in the late afternoon. Fine sand and calm shallows make an easy landing after your luxury yacht arrival.
-
Visit Skarkos, an award-winning Bronze Age site above the port, then eat fresh seafood at a Greek Islands taverna beside the harbor at dusk.

Cruising with the Navygon
Fast, refined Sea Transfers built on power, precision, and modern design
Modern Design Aesthetics
Minimal – Elegant
A refined sport-luxury profile gives the Navygon its poise, drawn in clean lines for private Sea Transfers across the Cyclades. Folding side terraces hinge outward at both quarters to widen the beam, while the open deck plan keeps every sightline uninterrupted. It all shows on the approach from Milos to Ios, alongside at Yalos.
Onboard Comfort Experience
Smart – Relaxed
Your cabin on this luxury yacht holds a settled calm whatever the Aegean happens to be doing outside. A generously proportioned bow seat sits sheltered beneath the hull line, out of the meltemi that funnels down the southern Cyclades. A private restroom and deep, lockable stowage keep the island to island crossing effortless.
Convertible Lounge Deck
Versatile – Adaptable
The main deck changes shape around the day, with a cushioned aft lounge and one wide sunbed for the group to spread out. On a Multi-Island Transfer the crew serves chef-prepared Mediterranean plates and open bar drinks at anchor off Folegandros or Sikinos, between swims. It suits two guests or a full party of ten.
Performance & Precision
Fast – Confident
Twin outboards carry the Navygon through the southern Aegean with steady acceleration that never once feels abrupt. A precision hull absorbs the chop low down, so your deck stays level and the spray stays well outboard at speed. Ios sits within comfortable reach of Milos, and a Yacht Transfer between the Greek Islands proves the point.

The morning trip to Ios was so straightforward. The water was calm, we could move between sun and shade, and the crew were friendly without hovering. We arrived feeling like the holiday had already started.
Rocio Delgado

Poliegos first for the water, then Folegandros, then Sikinos, with food appearing between each. Domenikos knew exactly which side of every island to anchor on.
Finn Gallagher

We came into Yalos with the whole evening still ahead. Makis pointed out a couple of places to eat as we approached, and we tried one that night. He was right about it!
Marta Kowalczyk

Our teenagers are hard to impress and even they thought this was worth it. Room to spread out, flat water, and Alex letting them sit up front for the last stretch.
Nikos Vlachos

Swimming off Poliegos in the morning, a slow meal served at anchor, and Sikinos in the afternoon light. Anastasia looked after every detail without making a performance of it.

There was more movement than we expected that morning and I was quietly worried. Haris slowed the pace and picked a line that kept it comfortable. My mother, who hates boats, had an amazing time aboard!

The outward leg was good enough that we booked the return before we had even unpacked. Same crew, same easy run back. It says something when you rebook from the beach.

Twelve of us came over for a wedding and the logistics could have been a nightmare. Two boats, everyone and every suit carried together, and Mits keeping both groups on schedule.

I was pregnant and a little nervous about the trip. Niki had cushions and shade ready before I even asked, checked on me a few times, and made the whole day feel easy.

Our two barely speak English and were shy at first. Tressia won them over in about ten minutes, showed them where the ropes were kept, and had them laughing by the time we reached Yalos.
