5 stars for 21/4/26 evening crew♥️

We went on the sunset catamaran cruise yesterday and it’s brilliant! From start to finish the crew made you feel so welcomed and safe. They help you aboard and really calmed my nerves getting on as it looked quite daunting. We had a fab trip and the whole crew were lovely. The meal was absolutely stunning and the sunset was beautiful. When getting off they followed behind you with someone in front which was really reassuring by. Definitely recommend and would 100% do again

A fun day at Dia.

The staff was awesome. They were friendly and very helpful. They also knew what they were doing. My wife and I had a wonderful time snorkeling, swimming, and trying out the stand up paddle boards. We would definitely do this again.

Fantastic Crew, Beautiful Sunset

We had such an amazing time on this charter! We did the sunset catamaran to Dia and everything was fantastic. The crew was incredibly welcoming and charismatic, and they took great care of us the whole time, including a lovely Cretan dinner prepared on the boat. They even stopped at the end to make sure we all had beautiful sunset pictures. Cannot recommend it enough ❤️🌅

What a brilliant experience

This was an outstanding trip and I can’t recommend it enough. Our captain and crew were great, really engaging and nothing was too much trouble. The food was excellent and plentiful and they kept our glasses full. Paddle boarding, snorkelling and the kids loved jumping from the boat into the water. We’ll be talking about this trip for years to come!

Great Day Catamaran trip with family.

Lovely day with lunch drinks views and amazing crew. Very accommodating for my 2 sons aged 7 and 9. They even got to have a go at sailing the boat which they loved. Stopped at Dia Island for paddle boarding and snookering. I would recommend to take your own snookering sets as ones provided are not the best and not enough breathing tubes to go around. Lunch was beautiful and tasty, plenty to go around. Would highly recommend if you are looking for a 5 hour (half) day trip on a beautiful Catamaran. We loved our experience for our sons 7th Birthday.

Operator response

Our dear guest! Thank you so much for your kind words and detailed review! We are glad you enjoyed the day and the cruise! We look forward to welcoming you again!

Such a special day

Highlight of mine and my girlfriends holiday! Staff were amazing and so fun to be around. Food on the yacht was so fresh and delicious. All you can drink beer and wine and loads of fun activities in the sea! Even caught the sunset whilst sailing back to shore. Beautiful day will remember it forever.
