We had an absolutely amazing experience! The skippers were the best – professional, friendly, and very attentive. The food was fantastic and the open bar with snacks made it a true all-inclusive, worry-free package. We booked the 3:30 pm tour and were rewarded with a breathtaking sunset right in the middle of the sea – simply unforgettable. There was plenty of equipment available for water activities, and everything was well organized. Highly recommended! ☀️⛵️🍸

Amazing, from beggining to end

Petra_H, Sep 2025

The best caramaran in the port and I'm sure is the crew. Amazing captain, chef and assistant. Beautiful and tasteful food, with dinner and snacks before and after. Everything is thought of, even SUPs and snorkel equipments. Captain anchored us in the best spot in the bay, close to the shore. Amazing experience, would reccomend to anyone.

Perfect Day Sailing to Dia

Sean_P, Sep 2025

Start to finish, perhaps our favorite port of call activity on a 9-day cruise. The captain and crew of the catamaran were skilled, attentive to guests and created a laid-back vibe that was absolutely perfect. If you are considering a sailing trip to Dia, do it with EOS Yachts!

Perfect Tour – Great Crew, Food & Sunset
