Take a 1-hour Rethymno sunset cruise on the Captain Hook wooden pirate boat, with a beer or soft drink and views of Fortezza and the harbor.
“Set sail at 7pm as the sun was setting. Leaving port a little earlier would have given us a better/longer view of the sunset”
Sunset catamaran from Heraklion to Dia Island for snorkel time, paddleboarding, Greek food, drinks, and a calmer kind of Crete.
“This boat trip was amazing, we were picked up from out hotel and taken to the port. The drive was very quick and easy. We then met the captain of the boat and were amazed with how big and nice the boat was. We sat up the front of the boat having dia island in view the whole time. The boat crew made us a meal and always checked in to see if we needed anything. Great for all ages and people who love sunsets. Would highly recommend!”

Luxury Hersonissos sunset catamaran cruise with open bar, sushi, SUP, snorkeling, and swim time at Saint George Bay in Crete.
“Amazing trip! Unforgettable experience, views and memories! Lots of fun at the swim stop, very (I mean VERY) nice staff, perfect ride for hot days and to explore the Crete island from the side of the water. Beautiful views, UNFORGETTABLE SUNSET! I really recommend the sunset tour-to see the sunset from the catamaran is so amazing! Nice snacks, unlimited drinks and SUP’s that you can have loads of fun with. Book it and you won’t regret it!”
Pirate-themed boat cruise from Rethymno with an hour swim/snorkel in Kefalas Bay, Greek salad lunch, and big Cretan coast views for $64.
“Overall pretty good. However, crew could communicate a bit better as they didn’t greet everyone and let us know the itinerary. Was pretty disappointed with one swimming stop when it’s advertised that there are “swimming stops”. However, the swimming stop is in a beautiful location. Lunch was a simple Greek salad with bread and olive oil. Music was just a Phil Collins greatest hits album, which was rather strange!”
5.5-hour Dia Island sailing cruise from Heraklion with snorkel stops, snacks, and sunset views on the Maryline by Cretan Yachts.

Luxury catamaran sunset from Heraklion to Dia Island with sushi, an open bar, and water toys like SUP and snorkel gear.
“We had a fantastic sunset trip with Kostas and Spyros (I hope I spelled your names correctly ;)). The crossing was a bit bumpy due to the wind, and we got wet (in the front seats – there are also dry spots), which was a lot of fun. The snacks and drinks were excellent, and the hosts were very attentive and warm (thanks again @Kostas for my beer after the swim ;)). The bay in front of Dia Island is stunningly beautiful, the water is crystal clear and (in early September) pleasantly warm. 5 out of 5 stars – plus 1 extra star for the amazing crew. Thank you. Best…”
Afternoon catamaran from Kolymvari to Agioi Theodoroi with snorkeling, SUP, dinner, unlimited drinks, and a sunset cruise.
“We have just got back from a fantastic trip on one of the DanEri catamarans. Beautiful boat/yacht, friendly staff who done everything they could to make our trip enjoyable and great food with lots of wine, beer and soft drinks. Lots of spots to sit and relax, really clean and comfortable. We had a good amount of time to swim, snorkel and paddle board. The sunset on the way back was beautiful. A perfect trip.”
A pirate-themed 4-hour boat trip from Hersonissos with two swim stops, snorkel gear, wildlife sightings, and a BBQ lunch.
“Very family friendly for all ages! My granddaughter had a great time from face painting, dancing, steering the boat The only downside was folks with a disability had no means of getting on or off the boat for swimming in the ocean to do snorkelling. Food was advertised as a bbq which it was not. The food was good but no choice. Crew were fully engaged with all passengers. Would say it’s more for families with children but not for young couples who don’t want to be around children. We were a family/ friend group holidaying together age range from 70yrs to the youngest being 6yrs all had a great…”

Kissamos to Balos Lagoon at sunset on a comfortable sailing catamaran with swimming, snorkeling/SUP, gourmet snacks, unlimited drinks, and great crew.
“The guides have been super helpful, they waited for us as we were 15 minutes late because of the traffic. The boat ride was stunning, the sights are great, a bit rough on the sea so if you know you get sea sick, be really careful. We didn’t get to spend a lot of time swimming at the Lagoon, most time is spent on the boat. We also couldn’t swim in the sea because the boat latter was broken. If you want to use the. Peddle board, it’s tricky because there is lots of wind and they didn’t let us. The food and drinks were plenty and very good. Staff…”
