Visiting Greek waters - Attentive to every detail, we had a wonderful day! The food was great, both Yannis and Georgio (sp?) gave us great information and a bit of history and let us spend the day as we wished.

A wonderful day from start to finish. - Our day on board was wonderful from start to finish. The crew was exceptional--fun, informative, helpful, and dedicated to providing all the guests a perfect day. The food was amazing! The color of the water was breathtaking and they timed our stops to avoid all the huge boats. We were scheduled for one day but the winds came up and they had to cancel--fortunately, we were in Chania long enough to reschedule for the next week. We were thrilled that we had this opportunity.

Awesome! - Great trip! Captain & his crew were fabulous! Timed our trip to not be near all the big boats. This is definitely a trip to take on a catamaran with only 6 people! Area is absolutely spectacular!

Wonderful trip! - Caring and friendly crew who were very focused on everyone having a great day. Transfer from our hotel to port was great and once on board we were provided with coffees, soft and alcoholic drinks, snacks, fresh fruit and a tasty lunch. At the swim stops there were floatation aids, snorkel masks, dry bags and tenders to shore provided. The waters were beautiful and clear. The aperol cocktail served on the sail back to port was a nice touch. Definitely recommend this tour over the public ferries which looked far too crowded! Thanks all for an amazing day!

Great day! - We simply loved our day! All the crew was on top (thank you Jolene for your excellent meal!!). We sailed with quite strong winds and it was still very pleasant. The band was great too and we had a good laugh.
In Gramvousa, we were able to go up to the fort, swim, snorkel or take the SUP. In Balos, it would have been the same, but it was just too windy — and nobody can help that.
We recommend 100%: it's worth it in every way! The crew, the intimate Mood, the scenery, the explanations... everything!

Highlight of our trip to Chania - This was the highlight of our trip to Chania and made so special by the team of dedicated, friendly staff.
The trip began with a 45-min drive from Chania to the port, driven by the lovely Costas who filled the drive with pleasant and friendly conversation.
Upon boarding the catamaran we were met with friendly staff who did their upmost best to ensure every passenger had a delightful experience. They continually checked in on us throughout the boat journey to Bolas beach, offering drinks and snacks. At our first stop in Balos, the team delighted us all with a wide range of activities to have fun participating in during our stay. From paddle-boarding, snorkelling and offering pool noodles for those diving off the boat and swimming in the ocean.
We had one member of our party become very unwell with seasickness during the crossing, and the team were so friendly and reassuring, doing their best to ensure the passenger was comfortable and still had a wonderful experience (which he did!).
Other passengers enjoyed the netting on the catamaran and sun-bathed in the middle of the ocean, and truly relaxing experience.
At 5PM our trip ended, and we were met at the port by the lovely Costas who droves us back to Chania. He even stopped off at a local convenience store to pick up snacks for the passenger who was sea-sick and therefore did not eat throughout the boat trip.
All in all, a wonderful experience for the family made so special by the team both on land, and on board. Can recommend to all who are holidaying in Chania.

Fantastic voyage! - What a fantastic experience! Everyone was so very nice. The crew were wonderful! The food was delicious!! And the experience was perfect!!! And we avoided the huge crowds of people that sail to these islands on huge ferries.
I highly recommend this company without any hesitation. I would definitely do this again if we’re ever back in Crete.

Worst excursion ever! - This excursion quickly turned into a nightmare. What the tour description does not mention is that the sailing route to Balos Beach is VERY rough. There were 12 people on our catamaran sail and at least half were getting seasick because the sea was so rough. It was an awful experience. When the seas are this rough, this excursion should not operate. Because so many people were getting sick, the crew asked if everyone wanted to turn back and go to Balos Beach by minivan. It was unanimous that the guests wanted to turn back and end the seasick misery. So we went back to the marina and boarded a minivan to Balos Beach. It was a one hour ride, most of it over a slow and inclining dirt road. What the crew did not tell us that the parking lot for Balos Beach is at the top of a mountain and pedestrians must hike down a steep side of a mountain to reach Balos Beach. Of course we were all wearing flip flops not hiking boots. The hike down to the beach took over half an hourour over rugged terrain in full sun, no guardrails. At least one tourist passed out on the side of the trail and was receiving medical attention. Going down was treacherous and extremely difficult. The crew basically sold it as a short easy hike. It was not. It was the most strenuous hike I’ve ever done. The scenery is beautiful but not worth the stress of the hike. The beach was nice but very windy and the sand was blowing in our faces. There was a bathroom that you had to pay to use at the beach. The hike back up to the parking lot was nothing short of horrific. I did not think I was going to make it. I really thought I was going to die on that mountain. It took me over an hour to climb the steep mountain in the hot sun in flip flops with no drinking water. Worst excision ever. The really insulting part is the crew openly lied to us about how difficult it is to reach this beach. It is beautiful, but if you must go, take the large public ferry, not a small private boat. Do not even consider hiking down to the beach on foot. Never again. Most of us guests thought we were just lied to. Do not take this excursion
