Great experience!!!
Really enjoyed our trip. The salads were great, the locations interesting and drinks plentiful. High point of our trip.
It is a bit confusing with different information available online regarding the pricing as well as the route of the trip. In the future one should expect a small briefing regarding the route, the stops and the benefits included. Included drinks were only provided upon request. Also the pricing of the gasoline was not quite transparent but at least communicated from the beginning. All in all a solid tour, but some adjustments would enhance the experience.
Very nice boat and crew. Would choose a cruise where there are not so many other boats next time.
Had an amazing time, patient and attentive staff on the boat. Good value for money !
Great communication through the booking process. The boat is stunning and well maintained. Hospitality sadly lacking in the crew and really took the edge off the day. No introduction, this is the plan today, this is where we are going this is how long we ar going to stay. These are some of your options. The whole family felt akward around the crew. I had to initiatie conversation and set direction. The fruit platter was a joke. Some Cherry's, 3 nectarines and 3 peaches, a banana cut up for a party of six. Given I spent 800euro it was embarrassing. I wouldn't recommend and wouldn't book again.
Absolutely perfect day for our family of 9! We would not change a thing! Gorgeous scenery, great introduction to snorkeling for our 4 and 6 year old grandkid and fun swimming, snorkeling and relaxation for all of the adults! THANK YOU!
We had a very nice experience. We enjoyed that we didn't have a strict schedule.
We had a wonderful day cruising with George and his crew member. They were very attentive, keeping us updated on local information, weather changes and offering excellent hospitality. The lunch is super, perfect for the weather and sailing. I'd highly recommend this experience.
Absolutely beautiful boat and fantastic trip thank you. Wonderful lunch too. We all loved it.
We had the most amazing time on the boat. The staff was very friendly and made sure we had a great time!! Beautiful hidden bays to snorkel, fresh food and cold drinks on the boat - what an unforgettable experience… Highly recommended!!
Great time visiting all of the islands with George - my kids and wife loved it!!
Amazing service! The captain was an absolute legend, especially having 9 women to deal with! He catered to exactly what we wanted as we weren’t keen on sailing a load! Lazaros was also amazing with communication and Maria especially while we were in Crete! Our boat day had to move because of the weather and Maria kept me up to date constantly! Thanks so much all!
We had an absolutely great day! The weather was perfect and the team was really cool. The lunch was perfect for the hot clima. One point which could be better is that we could have had a longer trip to some lonely bays. We just were close to the port.
We had a wonderful experience! The crew was friendly and catered to all our needs.
Very Beautiful boat. We had a Great time with the family
It was an incredible experience and I would recommend it to anyone who is in Crete and looking for some time off shore. The only reason I gave 3 stars for waiting time is due to the boat having had a problem with the diesel and we only left the harbour 1.5 hours later than planned. However the team was so kind and generous. They even sponsored us drinks at the restaurant across the street whilst we were waiting. The food was delicious and the drinks ice cold. Just what you need on a hot summers day. Thank you to the entire team - we had a blast! Hope to be back soon.
Wonderful experience. The Boat is really clean, nice looking and instagramable. The staff on board was so nice and provided us with snacks and drinks. Can‘t do anything wrong for this price.
We had a wonderful day on the boat. Everyone was really friendly and the boat was really comfortable and clean.
We had an excellent half-day trip. Thank you so much for your kindness. We would book with you again any time!
It was the greatest day of my life! Thanks a lot I would definitely recommend Lazaros ab his Team. Σας ευχαριστούμε παρά πολύ 😁☀️🇬🇷
Very beautiful boat, large enough for 9 people (we were 9) and really great lunch. .the skipper and the captain did their job but not much more: qui te no comments, not really warm welcome and back to the harbor 20 minutes before the end. The trip proposed is the same than the one proposed by all glass bottom boats with a lot of people whereas with this type of boat it should have been possible to do a lot more atypical things. A little bit disappointed.
Amazing and good experience. Everything was great. Thanks to the skippers for their time and also for the snacks and beers. We had a lot of fun
It was a great day on a beautiful Boat. We booked for the whole day and recieved a delicious and abundant lunch of various sandwiches and traditional greek salad. There were more then enough beverages to our disposal. it would have been nice if the crew had told us from the beginning that we had to tell them when we wanted to change location with the boat because we thought they would change location automatically. the rest was lovley and to recommend.
Was nice everything
Everything was superb. Staff was very friendly, we had an awsome day. Definitely would recommend to everyone!
Great boat with good food and drinks but the trip was quite disappointing. Stayed in the same spot for 5 hours then returned to the Harbour
It was a pleasure, everything was very good, we had a nice time! Thanks for all!
Myself and 4 others had an excellent day out on the water, Captain and Crew were amazing and very hospitable. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you very much!!
We had the perfect afternoon out on the water. A nice mix of swimming, snorkelling and enjoying the views from the boat, including a beautiful sunset. The complimentary beers and our light meal were lovely too. Yannis our skipper was great - very knowledgeable and happy to chat. He took us to some great spots and even joined in our dive competition of the back of the boat. A very fun afternoon!
40 minutes of drive, 5 hours staying on the same place. It was a nice experience, but it would be great to see more on the Island. Maybe that was because the waves were too strong.
Wow. What a fantastic day. Above and beyond our expectations and Yiannis and Adonis were superb. The boat was amazing and the light lunch was anything but. An amazing day which I would not hesitate to recommend. If you want to see more than the usual Crete, don’t hesitate to book, you really won’t be disappointed.
Amazing day on the boat, can only recommend this to every one!! Thanks a lot 😍
Hospitality was great, the staff were really friendly. The yacht was beautiful and clean.
We absolutely loved our experience on the boat. Crew was friendly and helpful. Would absolutely recommend!
Everything was very fine. It was a very nice experience. It was a stylish boat which was very big and had a lot of speed. It was accompanied be 2 men (Captain and steward). They were extremely nice and friendly. We got bevererages and at noon even a great Tuna salad accompanied by white wine.
We had the perfect hosts who not only took us to some amazing bays but served a superb fruit platter for elevenses a very lovely lunch. Cigalla is a beautiful boat, she has a perfect balance of shade and sunbathing areas ideal for the hot Crete weather she looks very impressive and delivers all the comforts necessary for a perfect day onboard like having a loo is a nice convenience and private changing areas and as I mentioned before the shade. Highly recommend and I am sure we will book again.
The boat tour was amazing. The crew was so nice and accommodating. They made us a wonderful lunch that had many options. They were always happy to take our pictures or pour us a glass of wine. We ate lunch at a cove that was on our way to our destination and we were the only boat there. It was like we had a private little beach for lunch! We felt like we got really special treatment. The boat was clean and beautiful. It was a great value for what we got. On our tour, we saw other boats that we considered renting from another company and we felt like we went with the best/nicest option in our price range. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone who wants to do a tour in the Chania area.
An absolutely AWESOME day out. We loved every minute on board & had the best day! Great lunch too & fruit platter served. Snorkelling gear provided. Lovely crew too! Thank you so much x
Above and beyond all our expectations! The “light” lunch was anything but. It was home prepared by the captains wove and Michelin Star worthy. And the nice young man who’s name I can’t figure out how to spell (very Greek) couldn’t have been more accommodating. My youngest son is autistic and loves fish. So this sweet heart of a guy took my son snorkeling at each stop “hunting” for different types of fish to see. I think this will go down as one of his best vacation memories ever. We felt extremely safe and learned some cool facts about Crete. And the swimming and views, priceless.
Excellent
Honestly, we had a great time! The crew is at the top and the different stops are magnificent! A good day full of memories!
We had a very nice day on board. Unfortunately, the time went by far too quickly. We felt good.
The boat trip was positive. You have to say for yourself how long you want to stay where. The best conditions for renting a boat are obtained by contacting the port of Chania directly.
Super !
We rented the boat from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and we had an unforgettable time! The captain was very welcoming and the boat had all the characteristics present in the description! A great day with friends, we highly recommend and thank you again Captain George ?
We recommend. We had a great day at sea. Great boat and fantastic crew. We'd love to come back.
A very beautiful day on the boat with an exceptional lunch on board. Little boat trip and only 3 stops located a few hundred meters from each other. We nevertheless enjoy moments of relaxation, rest, tanning without getting bored! A paddle board is also available :) Beautiful day !
Great boat - bang average
Unfortunately the route was a bit poor, we hardly drove even though the weather conditions were perfect. Unfortunately only 2 stops and only because we asked if we could go on. The second stop was 3 minutes away from the 1st .... Otherwise everything was great, the food was delicious!
Nice day with a friendly crew. Very enjoyable Greek meal. Spacious and comfortable boat front and rear I recommend it
Excellent day very suitable. Top meal. A wonderful moment
We had a superb luxury day aboard the boat. We left at 11am for a tour of around 7am which went wonderfully. The captain and his colleague were very nice, helpful and attentive, keeping their discretion between the phases of navigation. The very good meal and the little attentions also magnified this beautiful day. I highly recommend.
We spent a day on the boat with 8 people and were more than satisfied. Communication in advance went smoothly. You were greeted warmly on site and individual requests were catered for. The food on board, lunch and snorkeling equipment were also great! Gladly again - thank you for this great day
Small delay at departure, we were offered coffee to wait and reimbursed pro rata for the half hour lost without asking for anything. Great welcome, perfect lunch and a very pleasant crew at our service. A great day.
