Its design pedigree is the best testament for the most high-quality bluewater cruising! TRIP OVERVIEW This sailing trip is the perfect way to experience the island of Dia from another perspective - the sea. Travel with us with guaranteed comfort and finesse and try a unique sailing experience under the golden Cretan sun! Dia is a NATURA protected, uninhabited island, located about 7 nautical miles off the northern coast of Crete. Jacques-Yves Cousteau's findings in the island, in 1974, are of great archaeological interest. The island was inhabited by the Minoans and played a critical role in navigation and sailing during the Minoan times. It is well known that the Minoans were the most skilled sailors of the ancient world and the Minoan civilization is considered to be one of the most advanced ones ever existed on Earth. During this cruise, you can engage yourselves in a variety of activities. Try diving with your mask in the crystal-clear water, as its bottom is of great ecological and archeological interest because of the large variety of undersea discoveries. Or else, you can just relax aboard and enjoy the warm sun. As the boat glides through the water, you will likely encounter dolphins, which love to swim in our bow wake. Relish the full experience of this trip, accompanied by high-quality sailing, the warm sun and the sea breeze! INCLUDED IN THE PRICE: a) Coffee, water, refreshments, 1 wine bottle/4 people, beer b) Snorkeling equipment (flippers and masks) c) Fishing equipment (rods and reels) d) Lunch (Greek salad, seafood pasta) EXTRAS (additional cost - available upon request): a) Linen (towels, bedsheets) b) Fresh fish menu/grilled instantly - 30€/person (shrimps, mussels, sea breams etc.) Feel free to contact us anytime!

Amazing will definitely book again next year
Ioannis and Ernesto were nice. Food was ok (pasta without sauce). Greek salad was excellent! Snorkeling was below expectations. Value: we paid 70 euros for gasoline but 90% of the trip was sailing (not using boat engine). No refund was offered. We provided a good tip for Ioannis/team.
Ioannis and Vasilis were amazing. I had the best time on the boat, they were super friendly and I felt very comfortable in their company. It was a relaxing day on the boat and I fully recommend to anyone thinking about booking. The food was really really good as well. 10/10. Would definitely book again
Very nice sailing day!
Ioannis was an excellent host. The day trip to Dia Island was the perfect amount of time at the island. The included meal was very good. His boat included a paddle board as well and snorkel masks and breathing tubes. They took us to 2 coves on Dia Island. The water was very clear and perfect for snorkeling. I would recommend a trip with Ioannis.
Everything was perfect worth every penny!
Perfect Boat trip With very nice And professional crew. They showed us nice spots away from mass tourism and prepared a very nice meal for us (pasta Witt schrimps, salads , tzaziki). The kids enjoyed jumping from the Boat in the cristal clear water. We would book again!
Amazing trip out, thank you to both guys who looked after us so well! We had a great day!
We had an amazing 4 days on Ioannis’ boat, Captain Dimitros was our skipper and our guide furing the cruise. They led us to wonderful secrets spots where we could swim and discover the cretan coast. Discreet and very easy to go along with, Dimitros included us in the boat maneuvers, he’s a very good sailman! 100% would recommend !!
You are in good hands with Ionnis and co member. We had a great day on the sea with good food. Definitely recommend.
The boat day was great. The two staff members were really attentive with a good portion for lunch
We had a nice time with Ioannis on our afternoon trip to Dia. The sailing, food and stop at Dia were very enjoyable. Our only main disappointment was the music system. As a group of friend with a birthday even we were looking forward listening to some music, but the system was unfortunately with a low sound that during sailing could not be heard at all. Would've helped knowing this in order to bring our portable speaker. Also for a large group the amount of water entertainment items was a bit too limited, miscommunication on paddle board availability and only snorkel gears. For the amount of hours it would help having more variety of such items.
Wonderful Day with my Family at Dias Island. Perfekt Daytrip. Ioannis and his Crew was very friendly! Best Day of our Creta Vacation
Best day of our holiday. Exceeded our expectations. Thanks gentlemen.
Very good communication and organization by Ioannis, individual needs and wishes were dealt with in an uncomplicated manner. The trip itself was a bit uncomfortable, but that is probably due to the boat's construction. A better selection of drinks would have been desirable. Chilled branded drinks or coffee would have rounded off the offer. The lunch itself, however, was excellent! I would definitely recommend Ioannis and his team, and we would also book a tour again. Thank you Ioannis for this wonderful day at sea ??????
We had a wonderful day! Friendly staff, a nice boat with enough space to relax, good food and a nice location for a swim. Definitely a must do when you are here!
Nice lads, recommended!
We enjoyed it!
Excellent day on board and excursion to the island of Dia! Very friendly, professional and attentive crew. We will come back!
World class day! Very friendly and great service, we lacked nothing, had great wind, were served world-class food and very beautiful places to see! Thanks!!!
