Charter 46' Beneteau Antares Motor Yacht in Rethymno, Greece
Had a wonderful time on the Gazal Yacht. Vasilis was so kind and Penny was outstanding. From arranging details days before our departure to her attentive service, we can’t say enough how much we enjoyed our time.

Luxury Boat Tours on Sarnico 43 Motor Yacht
Our group of 4 docked on our princess cruise in Crete and had a spontaneous desire to rent a boat to explore the various private islands of Crete and do some swimming in the Mediterranean Sea! Antonis was able to accommodate us on extremely short notice and showed us a great time! Extremely polite and professional providing us with drinks and snacks to enjoy a wonderful sunny day cruising around visiting multiple islands! I would 100% recommend booking with them if you want to have an exclusive private experience in Crete with your friends/family! 10/10 would book again!

This was our first time traveling to Crete and we had a great time on the water with both captains! The boat was beautiful and they provided drinks and a delicious lunch with snacks. If you’re thinking about booking with Antonis, you should! You won’t regret it!

Luxury Yacht Cruises in Agios Nikolaos Crete
Very pleasant cruising tour. This is not a thrill ride so don't expect fast speeds. Food was excellent and very fresh. Awesome that it was all from his own garden and even the olive oil was from his own olive trees. Snorkeling was really fun with a lot of fish to see. Secluded bays offered refreshing swims in clear, calm water to cool off. Boat was very clean and comfortable. Plenty of beverages available. Would definitely recommend!
