Fantastic experience - highly recommended - This was a truly fantastic experience that my wife and I enjoyed thoroughly! First, we appreciated all the communication before the day of our trip, with all the practical information regarding the trip, which made the preparations and planning simple and easy. We felt the duration of 4.5 hours worked very well. The trip itself is awesome in all respects and definitely something one should do if they visit the area of Heraklio. The sailing experience is exciting, the water at Dia is marvelous, the meal is delicious, and the staff is amazing! Our captain and co-captain were Markos and Magda and each of them was the perfect combination of knowledge, competence, and efficiency along with superb Greek warmth, hospitality, and kindness! This trip was a wonderful memory from our trip to Crete and we highly recommend it!

Our dream boat trip - Vasilis and Denis, made our dream boat trip come true! Perfect boat and facilities, optimal service and very accomodating for what ever wish we may have concerning stops for snorkeling. We would love another trip like this and can highly recommend both the half and full day trip with this company.

Awesome experience! - We contacted them for our company trip. We had a half day trip from Heraklion to Dia Island. We wanted a fun and relax activity. Everybody was so happy, we had such a lovely day! The whole process from booking to the payment was very smooth. The boat is very beautiful and comfortable with nice seats, we could put our music. There is an upper deck where we can jump from and some many fun activities like sup boards and snorkeling equipment. The food and drinks were really good and we finished the tour with a nice shot of raki. This day was a dream and if I have to come back we use their services again!
