boat hire in Rethymno · Wellcraft — Grandsport 35 (1990)

This trip exceeded our expectations! Giorgos and his son were incredibly kind and communicative. Giorgos even took our crying 1yr old, let him steer the boat and then kept him company and laughing. They were best friends by the end of our trip. The sites were stunning and we had multiple opportunities to swim in the beautiful blue water. Highly recommended!

We had a lovely day on this boat! Girogos and his son took us to some beautiful spots and it was one of the highlights of our vacation. The reason for the 3 stars as opposed to 5 are the following: the boat is a bit older and not as clean as we would have liked; the communication from the hosts could have been better- we were provided beer, wine and a few snacks but it would have been nice to have been asked what kind we would have liked etc., as what they had was not the greatest. We were also unaware that the second payment needed to be in cash so were unprepared for that upon arrival. The snorkeling/swimming equipment was very old and hard to use as well. We were also unaware that lunch was on us- we stopped at a very cute island for this which was fine, but I thought it was going to be provided by the hosts. We made the best out of the day and were so grateful for the experience, but for the price we paid ($1,000 USD after everything for 6 hours) we were very much hoping for a more elevated experience.

Fantastic sailing trip. Great guys who looked after us. Views are amazing with great swimming stops. Many thanks Giorgos !

Just got back from a lovely day on the boat, there was 10 of us and we all thoroughly enjoyed the day. The captain was very good and the young lady who looked after us on board was very nice and helpful. We would recommend this boat to everyone.

We had a wonderful day with Giorgos. Warm welcome, great atmosphere on the boat. We can only recommend him! Thanks again for the fantastic day!

excellent day with Giorgos and his son. the family had a great time and the bays we went to were fantastic. good value and friendly team on board. only comment would be few more snacks as was def v hungry by lunch- which was fantastic !

Thanx for the trip!

We had the best day on the boat! Great guys who couldn’t have done more for us. Would recommend highly. Such a great experience

Great trip..lovely welcome and very well looked after..would definitely recommend a trip with Giorgos..you made my husband’s birthday very special and the cake you provided was amazing! Thank you! 🙏👍

We were 9 people and we were very comfortable. The boat was perfect, the captain was very professional and super nice. All in all, it was an amazing experience and a perfect day on the boat

There were 10 of us between adults and children. In short, I say that we spent a beautiful day, visiting some particular areas that can only be reached from the sea (if you are not at least trekkers or semi-professional climbers). We enjoyed the sea a lot, but almost nothing Georgioupoli, only a 30 min stop. However, this was our choice, so there is nothing to complain to the owner. If I have to give some advice, make sure you leave an hour earlier (we left at 11 am due to sea conditions) to enjoy that stop too because it deserves it. Having said that, I want to make a comparison. A few weeks earlier I had had a similar experience on the island of Mallorca (Spain). Given that Mallorca and Crete are very different in terms of coasts and beaches, so the evaluation of the places is subjective, and also adding that we had spent almost twice as much for a boat of similar size, it must all be compared to the price paid. The one in Mallorca was a more recent boat (2012, therefore 22 years younger), better equipped and definitely more comfortable. This is not to say that we found ourselves badly with Giorgos' boat, but considering also the "years on the hull" (three times as many as the boat rented in Mallorca) maybe a little more maintenance would not hurt. The interior area was barely usable, while the cabin (the cabins?) were not really usable. In fact, they were used as a general store for various leisure equipment for customers. Beware, I repeat, we had a great experience off the boat. So if you don't care that much enjoy the boat itself (you still enjoy the sun on the prow also while navigating), but you just want to enjoy the landscape, the sea and the locality, then using the boat only as a means of transport, then that's more than fine. If, on the other hand, you have someone with you who you know will need to rest (see my 70-year-old father when I was in Mallorca, but who was not with us in Crete), and if you still want to go with Giorgos (recommended), maybe let him know so he can free and clean at least one bed. Overall, all in all, it was a good experience for the price and if you don't want to spend way more (at least 50% / 60% more), then you are going to spend anyway a very nice day. It should be noted that a lot of diesel is consumed for the mini cruise and the price paid obviously does not depend on the owner, but on the oil market. Regarding the experience with our skipper, he was always helpful and extremely kind, definitely to be recommended. Greetings

Great trip Vassilis and Alexi were very welcoming and hospitable. They showed us beautiful caves and swim spots and took us for the best fish in town.

Thanks you Giorgios ! Amazing day with you in your boat !

Thank you Giorgos - a great trip out, our family really enjoyed it. Great boat, excellent communication, and great fun. Have a great summer! Gavin

Thanks for an unforgettable afternoon - well worth the money! If anything you might think about alternatives to plastic cups for the drinks.

Great day out and Giorgos was a very nice host - thanks for a great day !

Perfect day, thank you for everything

Giorgis is the perfect host. They made us feel very welcome and he made our holiday with an excellent tour. Thanks very much and we would recommend him to anyone who is visiting Crete 👍👍
