Amazing excursion!
What an amazing experience we had! In our opinion the best way to enjoy the beautiful coastline and cliffs of chania from on the sea! Miltos is a verry verry kind man who thinks of every detail. He also knows a lot of interresting stuff about the island, the history of the island, animals, fish and so much more! Don't hesitate about booking this excursion, it's a must do!

Great first time...
Great first time experience for a family with teens. The instructors were incredibly patient with my surley teenagers and did a great job showing us the ropes. I was super nervous and panicked a bit at the start of the dive so I forgot some of the steps. They were so kind and patient in helping me get settled so that I could relax and enjoy the dive. We saw an octopus and lots of other sea life and it was a great trip for the family. Thanks! I'd do it again

I highly recommend this...
I highly recommend this tour! This is for experienced or beginners. Socrates is extremely friendly. He not only talked about some of the history that we experienced during the excursion but he also shared some of his favorite places to go to in Crete when we were done with the tour. Really great insight! This excursion was relaxing and exciting at the same time! He also takes some great photos and videos for you!

Worth the money!
So happy I booked this smaller lux Catamaran tour vs. the bigger boat with dozens of people. It's worth spending the extra money. The max on this CAT is 22 people so it's intimate and personal. Captain Yannis was great, very skilled & experienced. His crew was wonderful as well. We had a windier day so Captain Yannis broke out his dinghy to get us 40' to shore & back safely. The beaches were beautiful and getting there early on this tour meant when the crowds of people are off loading their vessel by the dozens, you're boarding your sailing CAT and heading out to the next beach! We chose the early tour at 8:30am for this reason and it did not disappoint! If you're prone to seasickness wear a transdermal patch, works wonders! Or take "non-drowsy" Dramamine. This one girl on the boat could barely keep her eyes open between her instagram selfies lol, but she wasn't sick!

Great way to spend a day
A great day out. Enjoyed the whole trip including the drives between stop off points. Good chance to see a bit more of Crete. Lunch was good. Our guide, George was great and it was lovely to be in a small group, especially for the boat trip to Spinalonga.

Highlight!
Highlight of Our Trip to Crete! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
What an awesome day out on the water! This boat trip was such a hit with both us parents and our teenagers – which honestly says it all. The 11.5m boat was super comfy and gave us plenty of space to chill, jump in for a swim, and just enjoy the ride.
The absolute star of the day though was our skipper. He was so friendly, easy-going, and fun to be around, while also making us feel 100% safe the whole time. He really knew his stuff and shared great insights, but at the same time made it feel like we were out with a good friend.
We all agreed this was one of the best things we did in Crete – definitely a must-do if you want an unforgettable experience on the sea!

Fabulous first dive experience
Chania Diving was awesome! They were in constant communication regarding our pick up time and location even when we tendered to the old port instead of the new port. Basal (sp?) picked us up on time, took us to the dock and ended up being our instructor / dive master. He was clear, patient, and reassuring. They had all of the right size equipment for smaller women. They took us through everything step by step. And they were right with us in the water for everything. We could not have asked for a better first dive experience.

Best Way for Quality Balos Beach Time
This experience is amazing for those who are interested in spending quality time at some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. This is a super efficient way to get to Balos and Gramvousa beaches. If your goal is to have a long and leisurely luxury sailing trip, this is not for you. However, if your goal is to spend the time on the sand and natural beauty of Crete, I strongly recommend this experience. They are a well organized small group that gets you to the beaches in 20 minutes time. Parking is plentiful and it is not crowded at all. Everyone from the base to the boat was super professional and friendly. This tour may not be for everyone, but it certainly was amazing for what we were looking for!

Amazing Crew & Fantastic Trip
Amazing experience that we’ll remember for years. The crew was absolutely fantastic and the tour was so much better than what I expected. The crew was quick to see to our comfort while ensuring everyone’s safety. They were generous with the food and drinks and did everything thing in their power to make sure everyone had the best experience possible. They were even able to coax smiles out of my cranky teenagers which is no easy task. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.

A lovely way to spend half a day
Had a lovely sail over to the island, plenty of time in a bay to have a swim/SUP/snorkel. We had a delicious salad lunch on the boat before sailing back to Heraklion port. Just a wonderful way to spend a few hours. Saw a few of the falcons flying around.

Not into snorkeling but still enjoyed experience
I’m not a swimmer at all and this was way easier than I expected it to be. I actually found out I’m not a big fan of snorkeling lol but am thankful for the experience and the instructors were great. I booked it more for my husband and he loved it all.

Fantastic exerience
A fantastic evening cruise, really chilled and relaxed. We were given plenty of time to swim and use the snorkeling equipment before sitting and watching the beautiful sunset. The crew were really friendly and couldn't do enough for us. The welcome drink, all inclusive other drinks and snacks were an added bonus. I would definitely recommend this trip for anyone visiting Crete.
