Overview

We sail by Fortezza, with its cannon ports still intact to keep the pirates ships out of the bay. So close you can almost touch it! With the view of the Aptera fort, the fort of the Idjedin prison just below it, past the beaches of Kalyves and Almyrides, the isle of Karga we reach for the lighthouse of Drapano. With the White Mountains as a backdrop and always depended on wind direction we may sail northeast to a very small cove with beautiful sandy waters or we sail northwest around another small island to a beautiful lagoon, we drop anchor where you can swim/snorkel and play in crystal clear turquoise waters. While you swim I prepare you a freshly cooked Cretan/Spartan lunch with Greek specialties, local pasta, sauteed vegetables, fresh salad, mama’s olives, goat cheese, fresh bread, wine/beer/soda/water and finally fresh yogurt with sweet fruit and Greek sweets. You enjoy, eat, relax and then we raise anchor to sail back to port, usually as the sun starts to set in front of us.

Anniversary sailing trip

Published on Oct, 2024

I booked this trip for my husbands and my 10 year wedding anniversary and couldn’t have enjoyed it more! Captain Nikos was an excellent host, tour guide, and chef! We had the chance to open the sails ourself as well as man the wheel. The views from the water were incredible and the history behind where we anchored was so interesting, it was a truly unforgettable day!

Best bay, best beach, best food, best host

Published on Sep, 2024

Wow, an experience not to be missed!! Well setup operation, beautiful location. Loved the secluded bays and the skipper was so friendly and informative and very experienced. Above and beyond that was the meal prepared for lunch, the best Greek lunch we have ever had. We would definitely love to go again on this boat with this skipper.

Awesome Day

Published on Aug, 2024

My family and I had an excellent day out with Nikos. The boat was clean and spacious, the food was fresh and delicious, the sights were all spectacular above and below the water, and Nikos was a fun and knowledgeable host. A great balance of cruising time and swimming time. Highly recommend this to anyone visiting Crete!

Great Day Sailing, swimming and eating amazing food.

Wonderful day snorkeling, sailing, and relaxing in Crete. Don’t miss out on this great activity. I almost hesitate to tell others about this secret Gem.

Must do if visiting Crete!

Published on Jul, 2024

We had a great time with Nikos and Semeli during our private sailing excursion on Crete! They were wonderful from beginning to end! We sailed through Souda Bay and stopped at various swimming spots. Our son and his friend got to help sail the boat and the food was amazing! Crete is best seen by boat! You will not be disappointed!
