Luxury Yacht Cruises in Agios Nikolaos Crete
Our 8 hour trip with Mike was the undoubted highlight of our 2 weeks in Elounda. He knows the area and provides an interesting guided tour from the sea providing a perspective you cannot get from the land (maybe do this trip at the beginning of your holiday?). He knows where to go, so that whatever the conditions (we had some hefty winds) he can get you to settled waters for snorkelling, fishing and sunbathing with delicious food and ample refreshment. The boat is spacious and very comfortable (we were 4), with everything you could need for a day on the water. We would do it again.

Luxury Yacht Cruises in Agios Nikolaos Crete
Captain Mike’s outing was second to none. We were provided with a great tour of the coastline and were introduced to two small secluded bays with crystal clear, aquamarine waters. Amazing hospitality, first class service. My highest recommendations.

Dromor Apollo 12 Plus, Sailing Yacht for Charter, in Old Harbor Chania.
Highly recommend! We honestly had the best day and cannot recommend this trip enough! From the moment we met Chrisoyla and his son (the host) we felt at ease and were taken to the most beautiful private beaches. Our lunch was a homemade authentic Cretan meal and it was delicious! The host took us on a snorkel tour through a cave and showed us around the coves. Overall, the best trip we’ve taken in our two weeks in Greece and will recommend to any friends visiting Crete.

Charter 36' Cruising Monohull in Kissamos, Trachilos, Chania, Greece
We went out with four adults, it was amazing and had a great time. We went to three different spots all fantastic and had blue clear water. We were able to snorkel and swim and they also prepared a lunch that was the best chicken I have ever tasted. We got unlimited water, beer, juice and snacks. We would come back and rent again.

Luxe Boat Trip On Sailing Catamaran In Heraklion, Crete
Great trip on a fantastic vessel. Very nice crew who take good care of their gasts. Everything on board is perfect. The boat is very silent and steady. Sun bading in in the front net above the water is fantastic. Wifi onboard and Bluetooth connection to the onboard radio for streaming your own music. Friendly and polite people that understand how to make you feel comfortable during your holiday boat trip. Would definitely recommend!

Charter 46' Beneteau Antares Motor Yacht in Rethymno, Greece
This was an amazing and unexpected trip and service. Great attention to details and requests. Vasilis and the host on the boat were super nice and friendly, and make you feel very comfortable on the boat. Next time we're on Crete we might consider booking again, and we'll highly recommend this offering to all our friends and family. There is nothing I could ask more for, we're fully satisfied and still talk about the trip on the boat (great photos and videos will remind us on the awsome journey).
