    We were a large group and had a great day on board the boat. The skippers were very nice and attentive. The boat is old but very comfortable for so many people.

    We had a great time! The meal was very good but a real dessert and a good coffee would have been very appreciated! Thank you we had a lot of fun. There were 14 of us on the boat not counting the crew and we had room!

    The boat is very comfortable, with options to relax in the sun, inside, up top, and below deck (beds). The lunch was fantastic! They took us to Balos, and we avoided the crowds, then we found a private cove to swim and explore. A truly magical day!

    Wonderful experience at excellent value for money. The food is very good and in large quantities. Definitely worth taking the meal option. Do not hesitate to ask the pilot to take you to places to swim in privacy and away from tourists. There were 12 of us on the boat and it was big enough for us. Appearance a bit old-fashioned outside the boat but inside we completely forget this aspect. Thank you again for this very nice experience which remains our best day of our vacation in Crete.

    I can't recommend them enough. It was one of the best experiences me and my friends had in Crete. Everything was perfect! Cleanliness, food, crew extremely friendly always willing to help us. The boat is great and bigger than we were expecting. It is worth it every euro paid. Many thanks for everything!
