Description

Traveling is about exploring new places, meeting people, sharing experiences, learning about history, and above all having fun. Our sailing tours are designed based on safety, experiencing nature, human interaction and cultural exchange. Our knowledgeable crew is happy to share all the local knowledge concerning the surrounding nature and the history of the area. You will be encouraged to participate in sailing if you wish to and even take the helm of our large yachts under the guidance and supervision of our professionals. We will anchor in secluded bays at a minimum disturbance. Take your time and relax, just make sure that you grab a mask and dive in the crystal clear water. Our organic, local fresh lunch served on board has been one more reason why our guests continue talking about our tours over and over again.

Great time on a windy day

I had never been on a sail boat before and it was a windy day when we went out. Despite my concern of the wind Petros and Redi got us to our destination with no trouble, and provided a delicious lunch for us while we swam and spent time at Dia. I would recommend the experience to anyone who comes to Heraklion.

Great adventure.

Friendly and knowledgeable local people who put in effort. No stress and very helpful. 2. Stop not possible due to wasps.

We will never forget it!

Incredible day, completely transparent waters where we could observe various types of fish and even access a small English beach on the island during the day. An unforgettable experience, they made it very easy and interesting for us; Thanos explained many things to us, and it was a day that passed very quickly. Without a doubt, completely recommendable. Thank you very much for being part of our honeymoon! 🇬🇷🌞

Great trip!

Had a great time on the trip, good food, lovely areas on Dia island to swim and explore. Would recommend some footwear if you want to walk up to the cabin on the island!

Top day and unforgettable

It was a fantastic day with Vasily and his friend on the Sifnos. We had a lot of fun, the two skippers were not only charming, but so warm that we will come back. Feel-good factor top. Efaristo Martina and Ronald Petersen from Hamburg

A must do in Heraklion!

Nice experience. Our skipper Stephanos was very cool and spoke at least 4 languages. He and the co-skipper Mario’s, an excellent chef btw, took us to a secluded area away from the crowds and the water was absolutely amazing! Book with these guys, they know what they’re doing and they will make it fun for you!

Thank you so much for your feedback, wish to sail together again!

Einfach nur perfekt!

It was an amazing day! The group was small, the people nice and especially the crew was very likeable and awesome! The necessary instructions were very well done and the food was delicious. We could move on the deck freely and eat wherever we wanted to. After arrival on the Island Dia, we had about an hour time to go snorkeling, swimming or just enjoying our time on deck with fruits and a drink. We saw many Sea Urchins and Sea Stars, the water was so clear that you could almost see 20m deep. Snorkeling equipment was on Deck. A Toilet is on Deck too and you can drink whatever and whenever you want (Wine, Beer, Water, Soft Drinks). The Taxi Pickup worked fine in both ways, the organization is typically Greek so don't wonder if you will receive a random taxi driver for retransfer who firstly wasn't meant to be your driver. All in all I would really recommend anybody to do this wonderful and well organized trip! Thank you very much again!

Wonderful!

A wonderful day on A sailboat on a human scale. To do absolutely. One downside: if you were sailing with teenagers, the meal was a little light.
