A perfect day on the water out of Chania. - We had a lovely day on the water with this family run company. Both Yianni and Costas were fantastic and played along with our 4 yr old so well, including multiple games of “eye spy”. Everything was perfect from communication with Natassa, our time on the boat including some sailing, the water, food and company. We decided against doing the very touristy Balos Beach and we are very happy we made this choice. A special day out for our family, and felt like we shared it with another family. Highly recommend.

Sailing and relaxing und a private atmosphere. That‘s the holiday feeling! - Uncomplicated booking and good accompaniment! Professional and friendly skipper! Excellent food! Gladly again! Unfortunately we didn‘t have enough wind for sailing that day, but we still had the best sea and swimming weather. Greetings from Austria! Best regards, Manfred 👋

Great trip with a great company, we had an amazing time. - I was tasked with finding a sailing trip for the family on holiday, and as always I wanted to avoid the typical tourist traps with tons of people on a small boat with loud music. I came upon this company and noticed they did not have a single bad review - which seems rare nowadays. Well, here's another 5 star review to add to the others. Natassa, the owner, was very quick to respond and booking was no hassle at all. The boat trip? Fantastic. I would not be able to point out any flaws, and the whole family was equally satisfied. Everything was on time, and everyone was super kind. We found that we got a lot of value out of our money, and can definitely recommend this company. Thank you for a nice day.

Best sailing experience ever - Best sailing experience ever! Yanis and Costa were top class escorts who treated me and my partner to an amazing trip to one of the islands off chania. With drinks, refreshments, even letting us steer the boat and talking us through how sailing works, and especially on my birthday where I was greeted with some cake as we moored up in the port, I can’t thank these guys enough. Not to mention the nice dip in the water around the island. They couldn’t do enough, very pleasant people with a great business. Thanks again would 100% come back for more

Great afternoon boating with friends! - Just back from a delightful afternoon/sunset sail. The S/V Metaxamama is a Bavaria 40 and is rigged for both easy handling and passenger comfort. We are both long time sailors and we’re glad to be able to sail. The weather was not cooperating at first, so we needed to motor, but that allowed us to see the back side of St Theodore Island and also the elusive Kri-kri goats and learn more local history. We enjoyed a healthy meal- dakos and other local treats and local beer too. The wind picked up enough for us to sail a bit in the way back to port, by which time we had become so friendly that I almost forgot that I needed to pay the balance!

Amazing Chania trip - Yianni and his dad took my family out on the water. We really appreciated the fact that they tracked the weather and changed our plans so we could get the best April weather. Sea was too cold for anything but a plunge but the food and views were amazing and they shared so much information about the history of the area and were able to answer so many of our questions. Highly recommended!
