SUNSET
CRUISE: a private evening charter of the wooden gulet Efplia from Argostoli, Kefalonia, Thursday 20 August 2026
One wooden boat, 22 seats, a London DJ on the deck, and the exact moment the sun goes into the sea.
THE CRUISE
DILEX Sunset Cruise is a private evening charter of Efplia, a 24-metre wooden gulet, leaving Argostoli on Thursday 20 August 2026. Boarding is at 19:00 at the I ❤ KEFALONIA sign on the waterfront, the boat casts off at 19:30, the sun sets at 20:27 off the Lassi coast, and we are alongside again at 22:00. Twenty-two seats, €50 each, two glasses of wine and water included. Music on deck by Hype Hyphen.
THE ROUTE
Argostoli, the Lassi coast, White Rocks, back
-
19:00
BOARDING
Argostoli waterfront, at the I ❤ KEFALONIA sign. You will see the masts before you see the sign.
-
19:30
CAST OFF
Out past the fishing boats and the turtles into open water. First glass already in your hand.
-
20:05
THE LASSI COAST
White cliffs on the right, the light going amber. This is the stretch people photograph.
-
20:27
SUNSET
Music down. Twenty-two people looking the same direction. This is the whole point.
-
20:53
BLUE HOUR
Second glass. The sky goes violet, the deck lights come on, and Hype Hyphen turns the back of the boat into a dancefloor.
-
21:30
FULL DARK
A half moon overhead, Argostoli lit up in the distance, and twenty-two people dancing in the middle of a dark bay.
-
22:00
ALONGSIDE
Back where you started. The night is still young if you want it to be.
On 20 August the moon is at first quarter and already up before the sun goes down. It stays with you the whole way back.
WHAT €50 GETS YOU
- 2 glasses of wine
- Water all evening
- Hype Hyphen, three hours on deck
- Three hours on a 24-metre wooden gulet
- 22 people. Not 80.
THE PRICE
The same boat runs a daytime family cruise for €70. This one is €50, it is private, it is at sunset, and there are 22 of you on it.
WHY 22
Efplia carries far more than 22. We are not selling far more than 22. The point is a deck you can actually move on, a bar you never queue at, and a sunset you do not watch over somebody's shoulder.
ON THE DECKS
HYPE HYPHEN
London · UK bass, dancehall, house, garage
Glastonbury · Notting Hill Carnival · EXIT
Let us be clear about what this is. It is not a sightseeing boat with a speaker bolted to the back of it. Hype Hyphen has played Glastonbury, Notting Hill Carnival and EXIT, plays the DILEX Sunset Party at Gradakia on 14 August, and six days later does three hours on the deck of a 24 metre wooden gulet for twenty-two people.
Gold light and wine while the sun is still up. The moment it goes, the deck lights come on and the back of the boat becomes the smallest and best dancefloor in Kefalonia. Ninety minutes of it, in the dark, in the middle of the bay, with nowhere for anybody to go.
THE BOAT
Efplia, 24 metres of wood
Efplia is a 24-metre wooden gulet. Two masts, teak decks, and a wheelhouse with a spoked wooden helm. It is the quietest boat on the island and it looks the way a boat is supposed to look.

22 seats · 22 left · €50 each

GOOD TO KNOW
the practical bits
How many seats are there really?
Twenty-two. When they are gone the page says sold out and we do not add chairs.
Is this a party or a sightseeing cruise?
A party. There is a very good sunset in the middle of it. Once the sun is down the deck is a dancefloor until we tie up at 22:00.
What is included in the €50?
Two glasses of wine and water all evening, three hours on board, and the music. That is the honest list.
Where exactly do I board?
The Argostoli waterfront, at the I ❤ KEFALONIA sign. Be there at 19:00.
What if I am late?
The boat casts off at 19:30 and it cannot wait. Come at 19:00 and you will be relaxed about it.
What happens if the weather is bad?
If we cancel, you get every cent back. Kefalonia in late August rarely does this to us, but the sea decides, not us.
Can I get a refund if I change my mind?
Seats are transferable to someone else but not refundable. With 22 seats a no-show cannot be replaced.
Is there a toilet on board?
Yes.
Will I get seasick?
We stay inside Argostoli Bay and along the coast in evening conditions, which is about as flat as Greek sea gets. If you are sensitive, take something an hour before boarding.
Can I swim?
No. This is an evening cruise, not a day trip. Wear something you would wear to dinner.
What should I bring?
A light layer. It is warm on land at 19:00 and genuinely cool at sea at 22:00.
Is there food?
The ticket covers wine and water. Eat before you board.
Where do I park?
Along the Argostoli waterfront. Come early in August, it fills up.
Can I bring children?
It is an adult evening with a DJ. Over 18.
How do I get my ticket?
You pay, you get an email, you show it at the sign. No paper needed.
Who is Hype Hyphen?
A London DJ who has played Glastonbury, Notting Hill Carnival and EXIT. UK bass, dancehall, house and garage. The same set that plays the DILEX Sunset Party at Gradakia on 14 August, three hours of it, on a boat. Instagram · SoundCloud
Can I book more than one seat?
Yes, buy as many as you want while they last. Groups of more than six, message us first.
