Overall rating
The trip was really great, Alex and Mike were really kind and professional. The food was amazing and they made sure to accompany for allergies. There was plenty of equipment on the boat to snorkle and paddle as well as listen to music. They truly gave us an unforgettable evening and we couldn’t recommend it more!
We were a group of 13 people and we had an amazing time. The crew was extremely experienced and it made our day on the boat truly memorable. The lunch, the open wine, the sailing itself, everything was perfect.
The crew was outstanding! They allowed by son to be the captain in getting us to the island, which he thoroughly enjoyed! The food was amazing and they went above and beyond for my other son who is allergic to shrimp. Highly recommend!
Last Thursday, my husband, our two children, and I celebrated my birthday on a sailboat – and it was an unforgettable experience! The trip to the island of Dia was not only beautiful, but also unique. The time we spent there was relaxing, peaceful, and simply dreamy. The lunch on board was excellently prepared – fresh, delicious, and with great attention to detail. We were particularly impressed by the fruit platter that followed – a perfect conclusion to the meal. Our skipper, Alex, and his assistant were absolutely professional, friendly, and at the same time pleasantly unobtrusive. They made us feel safe at all times, but also gave us enough privacy to enjoy this special time as a family. The four of us felt completely at home and can highly recommend this boat tour in Crete – especially for families looking for something special!
What a wonderful experience! The food was very good (Greek salad, bread, shrimp pasta). We were very happy with our day. Thank you again.
