My best friend and I had an amazing time on the catamaran today! Everything was perfect from start to finish. The food was outstanding, and a special thanks to Chef Yannis ,he did an incredible job! The cocktails were the best we’ve had, thanks to Dimitri. Both of them were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. They even played our favorite music, which made the atmosphere even better. We felt comfortable and well taken care of the entire time. We would definitely come back and highly recommend this catamaran tour to everyone. Greetings from Germany! Julia

Great day on the sea. Very nice boat. Friendly crew - only 11 of us on the catamaran. Plenty enough space vs crowded other boats

​Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Tag auf dem Boot. Bereits am Vortag wurden wir darüber informiert, dass der Wind stark werden könnte und die Tour eventuell angepasst werden muss. ​Obwohl wir bis zu 2 Meter hohe Wellen hatten, haben wir uns jederzeit sicher gefühlt. Takis und Carola hatten alles im Griff, waren sehr sympathisch und haben uns gut versorgt. ​Der Schwimm- und Schnorchelstopp musste wegen des Wetters zwar ausfallen, aber wir sind nach dem Segeln einfach etwas früher in den Hafen zurückgekehrt. Dort konnten wir bei guter Musik noch an Deck entspannen und die Sonne genießen. ​Das Essen war lecker: Morgens gab es Kaffee, Saft, Kuchen und Gebäck. Später im Hafen wurden Trüffelrisotto, Garnelenpasta, Salate, Tzatziki, Brot und als Nachtisch frisches Obst serviert, das uns auch sehr gut geschmeckt hat. ​Insgesamt eine sehr gute Atmosphäre – wir würden die Tour auf jeden Fall wieder buchen!

Wir haben eine Katamaran-Tour mit Cretan Sailing Cruises gemacht und können diesen Ausflug absolut empfehlen. Obwohl die See zu Beginn etwas rau war, hat sich die Fahrt mehr als gelohnt. In der wunderschönen Bucht vor der Insel Dia angekommen, verbrachten wir einige herrlich entspannte Stunden. Es gab leckeres Essen, kalte Getränke und fantastische Cocktails – alles in einer traumhaften Kulisse. Ein besonderes Lob gilt der Crew: Alle waren unglaublich freundlich, aufmerksam und sehr zuvorkommend. Man hat sich jederzeit bestens aufgehoben gefühlt und die herzliche Atmosphäre hat den Ausflug zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis gemacht. Vielen Dank für diesen wunderschönen Tag – wir würden die Tour jederzeit wieder buchen!
