"We have sailed with Niriides Cruises seven times — and we keep coming back.”
We are enchanted with Stergios, the Lagoon 42 catamaran and the diversity of the Cyclades. We have returned to sail with Niriides seven times.
The catamaran is spacious and comfortable, with four double cabins, perfect for eight people. Stergios is a very experienced skipper, always ready to help and make the experience special.
The colours of the Aegean are spectacular, from deep blue to intense turquoise, and combined with the beauty of the Cycladic villages, make this an unforgettable experience.

“They are the best; they make me feel safe and like part of the family as we discover new wonders of the Cyclades.”
My experience with Stergios and Dimitris could not have been more positive. They are great professionals and prepared an absolutely beautiful and unforgettable tour of the Cyclades for us.
I felt completely safe, even when the sea was not very calm. The boat was kept impeccable, and they were always pleasant and helpful.
I first sailed with them in 2024, returned in 2025, and again in 2026. I would recommend them 100%.

“From the moment we stepped onboard, we felt relaxed and in very capable hands.”
Our family had the pleasure of kicking off the 2024 season on Aktaia with Stergios. The vessel is meticulously maintained and incredibly comfortable.
We had the excitement of some high winds and waves, but Stergios did a brilliant job modifying our itinerary to minimize rough sailing. I’ve sailed monohulls in similar conditions and it was remarkable how much steadier the catamaran was.
Our best experiences were off the beaten path on some of the smaller islands which we never would have known about if Stergios hadn’t suggested them.
My best advice is: “Go with the flow and let the spirits of Aktaia and Stergios guide you!”

“Our week aboard was one of the best vacations of our life.”
Our family had an incredible week with Stergios and Dimitris in the Cyclades. We have sailed for the better part of a decade but have never experienced a sailing adventure like that. The views, unique island experiences and beautiful sails were unforgettable.
Stergios instilled absolute confidence — he is the most experienced and calm sailor we have ever seen. Dimitris isn’t just an experienced deckhand, he is also a trained chef. You will have some of your best meals in Greece on the boat.
Most importantly, over the course of the week Stergios and Dimitris became our friends. They are discreet when you want and present and fun to hang out with when you don’t.
I cannot wait to go back and visit our friends again in the most beautiful sailing waters on earth. What an adventure.

“Each day was a new spot, a new experience, a new paradise.”
We booked one week on Stergios’ boat and it was the best decision we made! We had an amazing time sailing through the Cyclades, moving from one island to another and discovering secret spots along the way.
Stergios showed us stunning places and little paradises to swim or simply admire, places you can reach only with a sailing boat. The trip really depends on you and what you enjoy the most.
Stergios is very professional, calm and attentive. You really feel good, safe and relaxed.
We spent only seven days on the boat, but it felt like a month because of everything we experienced.
An amazing and memorable trip. We will always remember his passion for the sea and his desire to share the beauty of the Aegean.
