Family-safe · shaded boat

The with kids Saranda boat tour guide.

Boat tours with young kids are hit-or-miss. Here's what makes DES the calmer choice, and where the day gets long for smaller travellers.

Shaded deck, not baking sun

Kids overheat faster than adults. Our top deck has a full canopy — most Saranda party boats don't.

Kids' life jackets in every size

Infant, toddler, child. Not one-size-fits-all adult jackets swimming on your six-year-old.

Krorëz private beach = 3 hours of not-boat

Shallow calm entry, no waves, sunbeds under umbrellas. The break in the middle is why families rebook.

The honest bit: it's still 5 hours

If your child naps at midday, plan for it. There's shaded space to lie down.

Everything about boat tours in Sarandë & the Albanian Riviera

Sarandë boat tours

The highest-rated Sarandë boat tour on the Albanian coast

Looking for the best boat tour in Sarandë or searching Google for Saranda boat tours? DES Boat Tours departs daily from Sarandë harbour and covers the wildest stretch of the Ionian coast, sea caves, hidden coves, and our own private beach at Krorëz. Small groups, expert local captain, everything included for €30.

Guests consistently rate us the #1 boat trip in Sarandë because we skip the crowded ferry routes and take you to spots most operators don't know about, including Secret Beach, only reachable by boat.

Albania boat tours

Why the Albanian Riviera beats Croatia, Greece & Ksamil ferries

The Albanian Riviera is the last unspoiled coastline in the Mediterranean. Water clarity rivals the Maldives, prices are a fraction of Croatia or Greece, and the coves stay quiet even in high season. DES Boat Tours is proudly local, an Albania boat tour run by Sarandë captains who grew up on these waters.

Compared to a packed Ksamil ferry, you get a small-group experience, real free time at Kakome Bay and Gjiri i Ushtarit, and a captain who actually pauses for photos.
