Sea Transfers with a RIB Boat
The Ultimate Coastal Commute
Tired of battling traffic to reach your favourite Athenian Riviera beach or club? Ditch the car and make your experience genuinely better with our premium RIB sea transfers from Glyfada Marina. Imagine arriving in style, feeling the refreshing sea breeze, and avoiding the stress of congested roads. Transfers are available on demand, with flexible scheduling to accommodate your needs and plans.
Why Sea Transfers Make Sense
The Athenian Riviera’s popularity means traffic on the coastal road is notoriously congested, especially during peak hours and weekends. What should be a 15-minute drive can stretch to 45 minutes or more during summer months. Sea transfer cuts through traffic entirely, a 20-minute RIB ride bypasses all road congestion and lands you directly at your beach club or beachside restaurant. You arrive refreshed, energised by sea air, and ready to enjoy your day. No hunting for parking, no stress, just direct access to your destination.
The Transfer Experience
You board the RIB at Glyfada Marina, and the skipper navigates you swiftly south along the coast. Depending on your destination, the ride lasts 15 to 30 minutes. The boat pulls directly into the dock or beach club where you are headed, and you step onto land ready to enjoy your day. Return transfers operate the same way, contact us from your beach club, and we pick you up and return you to Glyfada Marina. The entire process is seamless, and the sea journey itself is often the highlight of guests’ days, they arrive at their destination already in holiday mode rather than exhausted from driving.
Destinations
Typical destinations include Astir Hotel (a five-star beachfront resort), Beef Bar (upscale beach club), and numerous other bars, restaurants, and clubs with docks along the Riviera. If your preferred destination is reachable by boat, we can arrange transfer there. Most beach clubs have a designated dock where RIBs can pull in and drop off passengers safely.
When to Use Sea Transfers
Perfect for a long beach day, depart Athens early morning, transfer by RIB to your beach club, spend the entire day swimming and relaxing, and transfer back by sea in late afternoon. Ideal for dinner reservations at waterfront restaurants, arrive by sea, enjoy an evening of food and wine, and return by RIB under the stars. Great for club nights, skip the drive and the parking, enjoy drinks and dancing, and transfer back to the marina safely by boat. Useful for any Riviera destination when traffic is heavy or you want to avoid driving stress.

The Experience Itself
Many passengers report that the sea transfer is as memorable as the destination itself.

As the RIB departs, the skipper will navigate smoothly out of the marina and accelerate along the coast once in open water. Depending on your destination, you’ll cruise 15-30 minutes south, passing dramatic coastal cliffs, secluded bays, and island views.
