What people say about the Cretan Sailing Cruises experience

Croisière au top, équipe super sympathique, repas très bon et activités géniales. Équipage disponible pour donner des conseils sur les activités. Nous vous conseillons la croisière de 15h pour assister à un fabuleux coucher de soleil… Nous recommandons ++++++++😃😃😃

Περάσαμε πολύ όμορφα σε αυτή την εκδρομή. Το προσωπικό ήταν πολύ καλό, το φαγητό νοστιμότατο (είχε ανοίξει η όρεξη από τις βουτιές), η παραλία και τα νερά στη Ντια καταπληκτικα. Το συνιστώ ανεπιφύλακτα

Best Cruise I ever been on best wishes to captain Giannis & Katerina You guys rock <3

This is a must when traveling to Crete! You won’t regret it and it was an amazing experience.

Wir hatten eine tolle Tour mit dem Katamaran nach Dia. Eine tolle Crew und super leckeres Essen. Das Boot war top gepflegt und die Fahrt zurück im Sonnenuntergang war traumhaft.

Μία από τις πιο όμορφες κρουαζιέρες που έχω κάνει ποτέ άξιζε από την αρχή ως το τέλος το πλήρωμα απίστευτο ο καπετάνιος Μιχάλης μας εξήγησε τα πάντα ότι χρειαζόμαστε να μάθουμε και μας έδειξε κι ένα πανέμορφο ηλιοβασίλεμα και εννοείται ο φίλος του ο Γιάννης πολύ εξυπηρετικός σε όλη τη διαδρομή για όποιον βρίσκεται εδώ κοντά αξίζει να Κάνει αυτή την κρουαζιέρα και να μην το σκεφτεί καθόλου

Total schöner Trip ! Mit wundervollen Menschen , schönen Einblicken und Excellentem Essen an Board !

Braca a vela comoda in spaziosa, eravamo in 11 e c’era spazio per tutti. Ottimo pranzo grazie agli che/capitano e skipper Jevi e Sthelios! Carini e simpatici! Posti meravigliosi!

Had wonderful trip, the views, the food and the crew was super nice and caring!

Ottima esperienza.. la nostra guida è stata veramente molto brava, ci ha spiegato molte cose riguardo Creta e la Grecia in generale. Ci ha portato il pranzo( panini) e da bere illimitati (acqua, fanta,coca cola e birra) . Tour in barca con un gruppo contenuto, noi eravamo 10 .. lo consiglio 😊

Csodás délutánt töltöttünk a csapattal. Segítőkészek, vidám, profi személyzet. Az élmény amit kaptunk leírhatatlan ❤️

Une expérience magique ! Notre croisière en famille était génial et l’équipage était au petit soin! Mille merci

We booked this trip for a family of 4 and we had a lovely day. The staff were helpful, made us feel at ease. The food was amazing. Thank you for a lovely day.

Lovely cruise from Ag. Nik to Spinalonga via Kolokytha beach. I really appreciated the laid back vibe. Smaller in scale than some of the competition but more friendly and chilled out as a result. No mad rush for food or drink, no noisy music. Some chilled out tunes under the bimini but at the front of the boat on the netting just the gentle sound of the waves hitting the hulls. We came back as the sun went down- super chilled and happy. At first I was sad we didn't get a place on a super massive cat but at the end of the evening I was so glad we didn't- the personal, low key vibe was exactly what I needed (even if I didn't realise it).

Magique ! Un moment unique avec un duo super, toujours à l’écoute pour qu’on puisse passer une petite croisière de la meilleure manière. Les coins sont super beaux et les repas sont super avec des grosses quantités. Merci beaucoup c’était génial.

Wir hatten einen tollen Tag auf dem Meer. Auf Grund der Wetter- Windverhältnisse wurden wir auf die Vormittagtour und den Katamaran upgegradet. Die Kommunikation fand schnell und unkompliziert über WhatsApp statt. Auf dem Boot wurden ganz locker und nett von Jannis, Jannis und Petros empfangen. Hier wurden kurz die Sicherheitsvorkehrungen und der Tagesablauf geklärt. Der Katamaran war modern, in einen super Zustand und sauber. Es gab genug Platz für jeden. Man konnte sich gut auf dem Boot verteilen. Wir brauchten ca. 1 Stunde bei mäßigen Wellen und Wind bis zur Bucht an der Insel Dia, hier war es windstill und man konnte von Boot aus ins Wasser zum Schwimmen, Schnorcheln, SUP fahren….. Alles wurde von der Crew bereitgestellt. Währenddessen wurde von der Crew ein frisches, super leckeres Essen zubereitet. Nach ca. 3 Stunden ging es dann wieder zurück, der Wind stand gut und wir konnten zum Hafen segeln. Alles in allem ein sehr gelungener Ausflug der wirklich zu empfehlen ist.

Balos & Gramvousa Sailing Cruise! My group of four recently took the Balos & Gramvousa Sailing Cruise from Kissamos, and it was, without a doubt, the highlight of our entire holiday. This trip was worth every single penny. The boat was fantastic, with plenty of space for all of us. There were 12 guests in total (our group of four plus two other families), which made for a very comfortable and intimate experience. We never felt crowded. The itinerary was perfect. We had more than enough time for sailing, soaking up the sun, and swimming and snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters of both Balos and Gramvousa. It was truly a day of relaxation and adventure. The food served on board was delicious, and there was a great selection of cold drinks available. A perfect complement to a day on the water. A special mention must go to the staff, who were absolutely amazing! Their hospitality and professionalism made the trip even more memorable. For those arriving by car, there is ample free parking right at the harbor, which made the start and end of our day completely stress-free. I cannot recommend this sailing cruise enough. If you are looking for an unforgettable experience in Crete, this is it!

Join us on one of our luxury cruises and explore the hidden gems of Crete.
