The yacht slips away from Kos harbor and the town’s low white buildings shrink behind you as the Aegean opens; salt air pushes at the rail and the bow parts glassy water toward two small islands that feel a world apart.
Pserimos is first: a narrow ribbon of sand backed by low scrub and limestone cliffs carved by wind and sea. The island’s beaches—Vathi among them—offer shallow turquoise shelves that invite a languid swim and easy snorkeling over Posidonia meadows. Plati, a smaller islet nearby, puts on a quieter show: tiny coves, pebbled shorelines and views of the Dodecanese chain stretching in soft layers to Kalymnos and Kos.
This stretch of sea has long been a corridor of fishermen and islanders; the islands’ geology is mainly limestone with marine terraces and thin soils that support hardy Mediterranean shrubs. Local culture is low-key—tavernas, fishing boats and the measured rhythm of island life.
Practical notes: the trip runs about five hours, usually with a skipper, drinks and fruit provided, and calm-swimming opportunities at multiple stops. Expect short boardings from sandy or pebbled beaches; water shoes help. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a hat, a light windlayer for the return and motion-sickness remedies if you’re sensitive. Boarding typically happens in Kos town—confirm the exact marina on your ticket—and cancellations for bad weather are standard. Onboard, keep an eye for dolphins and seabirds; respect local mooring rules and avoid anchoring on seagrass beds to protect the fragile marine habitat.
Most departures are from Kos town marinas—your voucher will list the exact pier; allow extra time for local traffic.
The charter includes skipper services, fuel, water, soft drinks, beer, white wine and fruit; full meals are not typically provided.
It’s family-friendly but infants must sit on laps; the operator advises against travel for pregnant people and those with serious heart conditions.
Yes—snorkeling is common; bring personal masks and fins for fit and comfort, though basic snorkeling opportunities are provided.
