Sailboat Full Day Private All Inclusive Trip To Dia Island Jeanneau Sun Kiss 45 13.5m

Full Day Trip to Dia Island on BLU STELLA (Jeanneau Sun Kiss 45) Trip Type: Private Duration: 7:00 h (09:30-16:30) BOAT DESCRIPTION Jeanneau Sun Kiss 45 (named BLU STELLA) is an ideal sailing yacht for families, friends or couples searching for classical look, elegance, finesse and exceptional luxury. Impressive, light filled and with emblematic design, this boat combines vintage style and top notch sailing performance together with excessive convenience. TRIP OVERVIEW This sailing trip is the perfect way to experience the island of Dia from another perspective - the sea. Travel with us with guaranteed comfort and finesse and try a unique sailing experience under the golden Cretan sun! Dia is a NATURA protected, uninhabited island, located about 7 nautical miles off the northern coast of Crete. Jacques-Yves Cousteau's findings in the island, in 1974, are of great archaeological interest. The island was inhabited by the Minoans and played a critical role in navigation and sailing during the Minoan times. It is well known that the Minoans were the most skilled sailors of the ancient world and the Minoan civilization is considered to be one of the most advanced ones ever existed on Earth. During this cruise, you can engage yourselves in a variety of activities. Try diving with your mask in the crystal-clear water, as its bottom is of great ecological and archeological interest because of the large variety of undersea discoveries. Or else, you can just relax aboard and enjoy the warm sun. As the boat glides through the water, you will likely encounter dolphins, which love to swim in our bow wake. Relish the full experience of this trip, accompanied by high-quality sailing, the warm sun and the sea breeze! INCLUDED IN THE PRICE: a) Coffee, water, refreshments, 1 wine bottle/4 people, beer b) Snorkeling equipment (flippers and masks) c) Fishing equipment (rods and reels) d) Lunch (Greek salad, seafood pasta) EXTRAS (additional cost - available upon request): a) Linen (towels, bedsheets) b) Fresh fish menu/grilled instantly - 30€/person (shrimps, mussels, sea breams etc.) Feel free to contact us anytime! We will be excited to welcome you onboard and share with you an everlasting sailing experience!

The experience was great. We went as a family and everyone had a good time. The crew was lovely and super friendly with adults and kids alike. Most of all Ioannis was wonderful in rescheduling our trip when we found that our daughter had a fever on the morning originally planned for the experience. Great people, serious, professional and most of all nice! Really recommended!

We booked with Ioannis and Marios to celebrate my brother’s 30th birthday and everything was perfect! They were excellent hosts, going above and beyond to make sure we had a good time, even providing a surprise bottle of bubbly and upgrading us to another boat for the occasion. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a fun day trip :)

We can’t compliant Ioannis’s team enough for such an amazing day. The captain and his team member were so helpful, funny, engaging, nothing was too much trouble, their English was impeccable, and the food was delicious Would recommend this trip to everyone. It was fantastic.

Overall, my friends and I had a wonderful day with Blue Stella, Ioannis, and Marius. The communication with Ioannis prior to the trip via the app was excellent, and both Nikos and Marius were very friendly and accommodating upon our arrival. However, the on-site registration, including the collection of our personal details and preparations on the boat, took quite a bit of time—nearly 45 minutes before we were able to set sail. The trip to Dia Island was adventurous, though quite wet. Once we arrived, we anchored alongside around 10 other sailing boats, and had the chance to swim and snorkel. We were informed beforehand that water, soft drinks, wine, beer, and coffee would be provided, so we brought very few of our own beverages. Unfortunately, this proved to be a mistake, as there were only two bottles of wine available, along with water in reusable plastic cups. For lunch, we were served bread, tzatziki, and pasta with either pesto or seafood. While the meal satisfied our hunger, it was nothing extraordinary. The boat itself was clean and had a functioning toilet, though we didn't spend any time inside. With a group of 10, the outside deck felt a bit cramped, as the seating area only accommodated seven people, making lunch slightly uncomfortable. Lastly, I’d like to clarify that our feedback is not meant as negative criticism of Ioannis, but rather to assist future guests in setting expectations. We chose an affordable boat and still had a fantastic day!

My family and I had a brilliant time with Ioannis and Vasilis on Blu Stella for a day trip to Dia Island today. They were really friendly, welcoming and spoke very good English. Ioannis allowed my son and I to take the helm for some of the trip to and from Dia which was excellent fun! Once at Dia, they found a really quiet bay, away from most other boats, where we snorkelled and had fun on the SUP board. Vasilis served lunch of grilled chicken souvlakis, rice, fresh bread and Greek salad, all of which he had prepared and made on the boat. It was absolutely delicious! They then took us to another bay with crystal clear blue water for another swim followed by a selection of fresh fruit, beautifully presented by Vasilis. More great fun was had sailing back to Heraklion, at the end of which the whole family was tired but really happy. Thanks so much guys for a great day!!

A pleasant day, the strong wind was unfortunately a hindrance to the outing. Without being an alcoholic, in the description it says wine & beer, but in reality only wine. It was noted fishing activity, but we did not see the color of the rods. There are beautiful photos of the interior of the boat ... but we were not allowed to go there. In summary we found that the bare minimum had been done, nothing more. A little disappointed.

A great day spent on this magnificent sailboat sailed to perfection by its captain accompanied by his cabin boy! A duo taking great care of us from the beginning to the end of the day, between the cultural information on what we see, the delicious and plentiful meal prepared and the advice for discovering the place! An unforgettable day both for the place and the support! I highly recommend living an experience with this great team, you will not regret it!

We had a very nice day on board the Blu Stella, the communication was good, the food was fantastic, the crew was very attentive, and individual requests were taken into account! There was also a touch of adventure due to the waves on the way back, although the crew seemed very confident and had the situation well under control! Gladly again at any time!!!
