Our captain and his mate, JP, were gracious and accommodating, making our trip truly memorable. The boat was excellent, the journey was smooth, and they made sure we found the best water for swimming. The short tour after sunset was a spectacular finishing touch. The only disappointment was lunch, where I would have expected better quality and a wider selection.

Giorgos's son Bill took me and my friends out on the boat, and we had a fantastic time visiting a couple of caves and lovely coves to swim and explore. Bill was a brilliant host and I would highly recommend this trip!

Our stay in Crete lasted 7 days and this was the best day we had. Skipper was amazing and so fun he took us to all the caves and an amazing restaurant! Friendly, funny and insightful. Also his mini bar was great

Celebrated my 30th birthday with 9 friends on their boat. Penny was great and everything was very well organized. Despite the weather not being clear blue skies, the crew went out of their way to find a location with better weather. They were incredibly flexible with timings, locations and stops. The boat was spacious with plenty areas of shade when required. Highly recommend.

It was an absolutely fantastic cruise! George was excellent and delightful. He showed us beautiful spots and had prepared snacks and refreshments. He was the perfect skipper accommodated our day. The deckhand, Mano, also did an excellent job. He exceeded our expectations . It was by far the best cruises we’ve been on.

Everything was fantastic, crew was great, they kept us fed, hydrated, and cared for at all times. Did a full day. Only note is that the boat has been repainted grey (we literally walked right by it as we were looking for the white/blue boat in the listing's pics), so please look for a grey boat at the harbor. :)

We had the most amazing day with Konstantinos! There was a group of 11 of us celebrating my friend who is getting married. Konstantinos and Neil were the best hosts. From start to finish we were looked after, the food was out of this world. It was honestly the best day and you made our bride-to-be so happy, we really can’t thank you enough! We made memories to last a lifetime, thank you!!
