On the water · Sifnos
Boat Tours from Sifnos
A La Mer keep their boats at Platis Gialos, the marina just below the house. Thirty years reading this stretch of sea, licensed skippers, and a way of doing things where guests tend to leave as friends. When ours want a day on the water, these are the people we send them to.
Poliegos
An uninhabited island of turquoise bays, quarried rock and goats — most of it reachable only from the water.

Kimolos & Poliegos
The popular pairing: a swim day around wild Poliegos, then Kimolos for a long lunch by the water.

Milos & the Kleftiko sea caves

The Sifnos coastline
Close to home: Chrysopigi, the boat-only cove of Fykiada, and the islet of Kitriani — with a sunset run if you'd rather go late.

From our guestbook
“Take the boat excursion and a private tour of the island.”
Is a boat day worth it?
Is a boat trip worth it from Sifnos?
If you have a settled day, yes — the coves and islets around Sifnos are most of the magic and you can only reach them from the water. Half a day is plenty for a first taste.
A RIB or a traditional boat?
A RIB is quick and nimble — it slips into the sea caves and small inlets, ideal for a private group. A larger boat is steadier and more shaded for a slow, social day. A La Mer run both.
Which trip suits families?
The Sifnos coast, or the Kimolos and Poliegos pair: short crossings, calm swimming bays, and a taverna stop. The full Milos day is long for small children.
