Amazing, all of the staff were super lovely and helpful. We felt super safe on the trip and they explained everything really well and clearly. We could call them if we needed to throughout the trip but did not need to but it was reassuring. Overall amazing experience and would go again.

The boat was immaculate and absolutely beautiful. The owners were exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and helpful in every respect. The briefing and introduction were clear and thorough, making everything easy and stress-free. Overall, it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Outstanding value for money – we couldn’t have asked for more.

Athina and the entire staff was very kind and helpful. They focused on our satisfaction, not to worry about anything just enjoy the day on the sea. They told us no need to rush if we enjoy we can stay longer for free. The boat (Greco Marine) was in good condition and comfortable for 5 of us. We had a perfect day on the sea. Thank you Athina and staff!

It was a great experience. Athina and her crew were very helpful and provided full training before the trip as well as some nice recommendations for places to park the boat and enjoy the sea and some snorkeling. Definitely an experience worth taking!

We had an amazing experience on Pershing 37, led by Captain John. There were 9 of us and the boat provided plenty of space. We did the route from Souda port to Chania: 2 swimming spots, 3 photoshoot stops and one cave. I've studied the Cretan beaches ahead of time, but I would have never have found the ones we were take to. The cave was the best I've seen in my life. The boat has a paddle board, which provided fun and facilitated the transfer to the sand beach for those who can't swim. We celebrated a birthday on the boat and the captain was instrumental with playlist selection, made us a huge Cretan salat and offered some of the local drink varieties. Our booking was very last minute, but Vasiliki was very good at coordinating every detail before our departure. 10 out of 10. Thank you for an amazing trip and profession touch. Highly recommended!

The area might be intimidating at first due to the high and rocky coastline, but there is nothing to be scared of. There are lots of nice places where you can enjoy the view and the water. Athina will tell you all the good places.

Run by a nice family business. The boat was good and big. If it’s windy you can stay more in the bay. There’s a military harbour and you can see aircraft carriers in the morning. The water has a nice colour.
