The absolute best!!!

The best of the best! Our group of 12 booked a private catamaran cruise with lunch to Dia Island. The highlight of our trip! The boat was beautiful, the crew was amazing, the water was stunning! The kids had a blast swimming and playing on all of the provided equipment. Our family travels a lot, and this was one of our all time favorite excursions! The service was top notch! We can't wait to book with you again someday! Thank you for the amazing day and great memories!

Amazing Experience!

Boat, captain and chef were amazing. The operators assisted from pick up to drop-off. We had an amazing day, followed by even better food homemade on board by the chef. We loved it so much that we booked another day during our stay. We would highly recommend. The boat was also beautiful and well equipped.

The most incredible day!

From start to finish this was the most incredible day, one to remember for sure! There were 9 of us, all adults, all family, celebrating my 30th birthday. The captain and deck hands couldn’t have done more for us, they were lovely, constantly making sure we had drinks, and making sure we were all happy. The food was also delicious! We had paddle boards, an inflatable flamingo and goggles/snorkels which just brought so much fun to the day. We were also able to play our own music! We all havent been able to stop talking about it, and how much fun we had. Thank you for making the day so special, would definitely recommend, it will be the best day of your holiday for sure!

Operator response

Wow, what an incredible celebration! Thank you so much for sharing your experience—your 30th birthday sounds like it was absolutely unforgettable. It’s fantastic to hear the crew went above and beyond to make sure everyone was happy and well taken care of. The paddle boards, flamingo, and your own music must have made the vibe so fun and personal. We love knowing that your group is still buzzing from the day! Thanks again for the recommendation, and we hope to be part of more amazing moments with you in the future!

Fabulous day

Absolutely amazing, our skipper Piros, costas and Mario (hopefully I spelt your names correctly) were outstanding. I can’t recommend this company highly enough, our family of 6 had the most amazing day on a fabulous boat. From start to finish we were so looked after, the food was so fresh and delicious and the beer/wine flowed for the whole trip. If you want an exclusive experience in Crete this is the company to go for. 10 out of 10 x

Operator response

Thank you so much for your wonderful words! Piros, Costas, and Mario will be thrilled to hear they made your family’s day so special. It sounds like you all had the perfect mix of great company, fresh food, and fun—exactly what we aim for. We really appreciate your high recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable trip soon!

A brilliant day out!

Superb. Booked a private day trip to Dia island. Crewed by Spiros, Costas and Costas. Great day, plenty of drink supplied and a lovely lunch. Nothing too much trouble for the crew. Plenty of inflatables and a couple of paddle boards for the kids. It’s nice to have the cabins available if kids need a nap, but the boat is big with plenty of lounging options in and out of shade. Sea around Dia is beautiful for swimming

Operator response

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re especially glad our team made you feel welcome and well cared, you enjoyed the food and drinks!

An unforgettable experience!

Our crew were a dream team! The boat was perfectly appointed and comfortable. They had everything we needed to explore the sea and relax. Their meals--cooked right there on the boat--were lovely and they even taught my son to fish and cooked up his catch for us! An unforgettable experience!

Awesome experience!

We contacted DanEri Yachts for our company trip. We wanted a fun and relax activity. Everybody was so happy, we had such a lovely day! The crew was awesome. The boat is very beautiful and comfortable with nice seats, we could put our music. There is an upper deck where we can jump from and some many fun activities like sup boards and snorkeling equipment. The food and drinks were really good and we finished the tour with a nice shot of raki. This day was a dream and if I have to come back we use their services again!

Operator response

Dear Camille, Thank you for the lovely review! We're glad you had an amazing time and hope to see you again soon!
