Swimming stops are offered, but participation is optional. You can remain aboard and relax on deck, sunbathe, or observe the coastline if you prefer not to swim.

How many people typically go on each yacht?

The tour is described as intimate and small-group in nature, but exact passenger capacity is not specified. Expect a personal experience rather than a crowded party boat—contact the supplier for group size limits.

What happens in bad weather?

Cancellation and rescheduling policies are not specified in the tour details. Confirm the operator's weather policy and refund/rebooking terms before purchasing, as Black Sea conditions can change quickly.

Insider tips

★Arrive 15 minutes early to secure the best deck seating and familiarise yourself with the boat layout before departure.
★Pack a lightweight cover-up or rash guard; the sun reflects strongly off the water and can cause unexpected burns during swimming stops.
★The water is cleanest and calmest in early morning departures—later trips may encounter afternoon wind and stronger currents.

Good to know

•Bring swimwear, sunscreen (SPF 50+), and a dry change of clothes; towels typically provided but confirm with operator.
•Soft-soled shoes recommended for deck safety; sandals can slip on wet surfaces.
•Accessibility may be limited; confirm wheelchair access and mobility assistance availability with the operator before booking.

our captain Aiko really knew their stuff and dolphins riding the bow for ages was the highlight. For our anniversary so it wasnt too busy. Fine even with my dodgy knee, and stopped at 3 different bays, and did it on our first morning. Would book again no question, 10/10
