Shipwreck Beach (Navagio) is world-famous, which means it gets crowded. While the large tourist boats take hours to cross from Poros or Skala, our high-performance RIBs cut that time in half.
Departing from Katelios, we sprint across the channel, getting you to the Blue Caves and Shipwreck Beach faster. This means less time traveling and more time swimming in the electric blue waters.

Boat Tour to Navagio, Blue Caves, Agios Nikolas FAQ
Can we actually walk on the sand at Shipwreck Beach (Navagio)?
Access to the beach itself is strictly regulated by the Greek authorities and changes frequently due to landslide safety measures. Sometimes we are allowed to land, and sometimes we must anchor a few meters offshore. Because we are on a private RIB, we can get much closer to the shoreline than the large ferry boats, ensuring you get the best possible photos and swim experience regardless of the daily rule.
I am prone to seasickness. Is the crossing to Zakynthos rough?
The channel between Kefalonia and Zakynthos can get breezy in the afternoon. However, our Marvel 39 and Marvel 960 RIBs are designed with deep-V offshore hulls that cut through the waves rather than bouncing over them like lighter boats.
Do we go inside the Blue Caves?
Yes! This is the biggest advantage of booking a private RIB. While the large tourist boats can only stop outside for photos, our agile boats are small enough to safely enter the caves. You can swim inside the glowing blue waters—a highlight you simply can’t get on a shared cruise.
Is lunch included in the price?
The price includes the boat, skipper, fuel, and drinks (water, soft drinks, wine/beer). Lunch is not included, which gives you the freedom to choose exactly what you want. We stop at the traditional port of Agios Nikolaos where you can enjoy fresh seafood at a seaside taverna or grab a quick gyro—it’s entirely up to you
How long does it take to get there?
Unlike standard wooden cruisers that can take over 2 hours to cross, our high-speed RIBs usually complete the crossing in about 30 minutes (weather permitting). This saves you over 2 hours of travel time, which means more time swimming and relaxing.
