About the experience

Get ready to discover the wild side of Crete with this private boat trip from Kolymbari to some of the island’s most remote and unspoiled coastal gems. This cruise offers a unique opportunity to experience untouched nature, crystal-clear waters, and total tranquility, far from tourist crowds.

Our first stop is Sfako Bay, a remote coastal gem known for its calm sea, rocky backdrop, and clear turquoise water. This peaceful location is ideal for swimming and relaxing away from the crowds. Drop anchor, dive in, and let the natural beauty of Crete wash over you.

Next, we cruise north to the legendary Menies Beach, a stunning bay surrounded by steep hills and ancient history. Once the site of a Roman sanctuary, this hidden beach is now a place of total tranquility. Swim, snorkel, or simply enjoy the silence while floating in warm, transparent waters.

This private tour is ideal for couples, families, or small groups looking to explore Crete’s more authentic, untouched coastline — far from the tourist spots, and completely at your own pace.

    We had a wonderful day with Andreas and Maria. Everything was perfect, and they are two absolutely lovely people! As for the cruise, the locations are absolutely incredible. Nature in its purest form, a marvel. And with almost no one around. That's also what makes this cruise a truly exceptional outing. The snacks, drinks, and lunches were very good, and there was everything you needed for snorkeling. I highly recommend Sea Gem Cruise and its captain, Andreas, who is truly lovely. Thank you both for your welcome, your kindness, and your attention throughout the cruise. Marc, Lena, Eline, and Jenny.

    Andreas and Vasco have a true passion for service. You immediately get a vip feeling and after that a feeling to be boating with friends. Very well organized and definitely a real gem. The name gem cruise is not randomly chosen. Jurgen, Tinne, Emma and Kasper

    Unforgettable Experience! We had the most incredible day on our private boat trip in Crete! From the moment we stepped aboard, everything was perfect. The captain and crew were warm, professional, and clearly passionate about what they do. The boat itself was spotless, spacious, and very comfortable! We explored hidden coves, swam in crystal-clear waters, and even stopped at a secluded beach where we had time to relax and snorkel. The personalised service made the whole experience feel extra special. We were served delicious local snacks, lunch and the most gorgeous fresh fruit! and the crew happily shared stories and history about the island. It truly felt like a VIP experience from start to finish. This private boat trip was hands down one of the highlights of our trip to Crete. I’d recommend sea gem cruises to anyone! Thanks again guys! We loved it!
