Set Sail to Dia Island – A Hidden Paradise in Crete and come back for the Golden Hour.

Embark on an exclusive sailing experience aboard the largest and most luxurious catamaran in Crete.

Departing from Heraklion’s historic marina, your adventure begins as we glide past the majestic Koules Fortress, an emblem of Crete’s Venetian past. As the sails catch the wind, immerse yourself in the serenity of the Aegean Sea, while our crew shares the fascinating mythology of Dia Island, believed to have been shaped by Zeus himself.

After an hour of sailing, we anchor in the untouched Saint George Bay, where you can dive into crystal-clear waters and explore the marine life with snorkeling gear. Feeling adventurous? Try stand-up paddleboarding or cast a line for some relaxed fishing. (For safety reasons, paddleboarding may not be available in strong winds.)

As the sun begins its descent, return to the deck and enjoy a sumptuous Mediterranean meal, prepared with fresh local ingredients:
- Greek & Green Salad – A refreshing mix of crisp vegetables and classic Cretan flavors
- Traditional Cretan Appetizers – An assortment of locally inspired delicacies
- Mushroom & Truffle Risotto – A rich, aromatic dish (gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian options available)
- Shrimp Linguine – A seafood lover’s delight, cooked to perfection
- Fresh Fruit Platter – A medley of tropical and local seasonal fruits to end on a sweet note
- Pair your meal with fine wine, beer, iced tea, or soft drinks !

Perfect for romantic getaways, special celebrations, or simply unwinding in paradise, this sunset catamaran cruise offers a unique way to experience Crete’s natural beauty. Reserve your spot today and set sail for an unforgettable evening on the water!

    We spent the day with Mano and Stelios, it was a great time. We were a group of 9 friends. The food was amazing, prepared on site. Discovery on snorkeling, fishing with two fish caught. Dia Island reserves turquoise water. Very good atmosphere on board. We recommend 100%. Thank you both Mano and Stelios.

    Myself and the family enjoyed a boat trip to Dia island this week. The staff were friendly, accommodating and great with our 18 month old baby. The food cooked for us onboard was delicious and the portions were huge. We would have loved bit more time when docked at Dia island for swimming after lunch and only one paddle board was available instead of 2 but all in all a great trip.

    Some feedback, we didn’t got All the info on time that was needed to go in the trip. Better to send it directly with te conformation. So we Left 40 minutes later. A drink while waiting would be nice. The toilets where dirty. We had to ask for drinks and for us was 800,- to much for the thinks we had. Joseph was friendly.

    Really bcp too expensive for the service offered. We did not see only one part of the island of Dia, if it had not been explicitly requested by us, we would have stopped only once. The food was not crazy. In addition, I think the commander could have been more communicative, it would have been interesting to know some curiosities on the island etc. It was a pleasant experience but at this price I absolutely do not recommend it, sorry.

    Doing a day on this boy with some friends was such an amazing experience! Lefteris was a wonderful captain, cook, and tour guide for us that the entire day became the best day of the trip. At first, there was some boat trouble and we had to change the date of our cruise but Lefteris was so helpful and communicative that we were able to solve the problem quickly and still have a great time. I would suggest this boat to anyone who is in Crete!
