Amazing sailing experience and delicious on-boat dining. We had a lovely time swimming and paddle boating off the boat with the beautiful island backdrops and rare goat sightings. Dimitri was a great captain and Jessica made some beautiful pastas, salads, and risottos to cap the experience off. I'd recommend to everyone traveling with friends and family for a fun day swimming and tanning at sea 🌊

An unforgettable day sailing to Dia Island! My daughter and I had an amazing experience with Cretan Sailing Cruises. The trip to Dia Island was pure magic — crystal clear water, beautiful scenery, and a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere on board. The food served on the yacht was absolutely delicious — fresh, tasty, and plentiful. We really didn't expect such quality on a boat trip! The whole crew was incredibly friendly and welcoming, but special thanks to Giannis — he made us feel at home from the first minute. Always smiling, attentive, and happy. Highly recommend this cruise to anyone visiting Crete. We will definitely come back!

We booked the sunset cruise for a group of 23. Let me tell you that our experience was a 100/10. First off the communication was quick(answer time) and clear. We were on a catamaran with Yanis, Dimitri, Vassilis and the best captain, Mano. They were extremely nice and made our experience even better. The food was great, and the views were incredible. We snorkeled, paddle, swam near Dia Island, and enjoyed an amazing sunset. Thank you so much from the 23 of us, and a special s/o to the crew that was with us!
