A La Mer also run private RIB transfers, between the islands and to meet ferries. They publish ten routes with crossing times, Milos at 40 minutes and Lavrio near Athens at 115. Anything further is a quote. Useful at the start or end of a stay, or to move on to the next island without waiting for a ferry.

Good to know

Where can A La Mer transfer us?

Ten published routes. Milos, Kimolos, Serifos, Paros, Antiparos, Naxos, Folegandros, Mykonos, Santorini and Lavrio for Athens. Anything else is a quote. Tell them your route and the day and they confirm what the sea and the weather allow.

Is a sea transfer faster than the ferry?

To Milos it is about the same. The fast ferry takes 40 to 50 minutes and A La Mer list the RIB at 40. You gain the timing. The boat leaves when you want it to, and the sea state on the day matters, so ask them what they expect.
