There were just 3 of us on the sailboat, plus the skipper and his assistant. They were very nice and this little trip was really nice. It takes about 1 hour by sailboat to reach Saint George Bay on Dia Island. Then we dropped anchor in the bay to enjoy the view and go snorkeling. I recommend it. Be careful, the skipper only spoke English and Greek.
