Loved the cruise! The boat is really nice and with space on the top to chill. The team (Takis and Carola) are lovely and attentive to clients, always checking we were okay or had what we needed. The views are beautiful, we stopped for a swim just before lunch and had the most delicious lunch. Highly recommend the company!

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

We had an amazing experience on a private sailing tour with Cretan Sailing Tours! The crew was incredibly caring, professional, and made us feel welcome and well looked after throughout the trip. A special mention goes to the chef on board—the food was absolutely delicious and exceeded our expectations. It was the perfect addition to an already fantastic day on the water. Everything was well organized, relaxing, and enjoyable from start to finish. We would highly recommend Cretan Sailing Tours to anyone looking for an unforgettable sailing experience in Crete! P.S when boat is parking at DIA island watch out for bees. A lot of them arrive for food. If you are allergic to bees - beware.

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!
