“Superb trip not to be missed. Very special and looked after extremely well by the crew. After reading all the reviews settled on this one as despite being slightly more expensive, it was quite obviously a cut above the others. Lovely other guests from all around the world. The food was fantastic all round and the sea bream with prawns beautifully cooked served at a table with linen cloths and plates/cutlery. Drinks served all day without question, couldn't top us up any faster. Sunset was beautiful and all in all a day we will always rememberRead more”

Food was awesome, no lack of drinks (white wine and really good beer), the guides were fun- took amazing and cherished sunset photos of me holding the sun!! I’d highly recommend this tour. Only downside was we did not go to Thirasia and there was no explanation. I also never asked, it could’ve been due to strong winds near that area!! However, if I had not memorized all of our stops, I wouldn’t have known we missed one. It was super fun and…”

Sail from Rethymno Port on a premium catamaran from 5 to 8:30 p.m. Enjoy Prosecco, Cretan cheese, fruit, and drinks, then stop near Panormo for swimming, snorkeling, and SUP when conditions allow. The main event is the sunset return along Crete’s coast.

“Negative points: Instructions to locate the meeting point were insufficient, so we tried to call the organiser and they could only communicate via WhatsApp messages - as a result we arrived late to the yacht and missed the introductions, plus there was nowhere for us to sit to listen to the instructions and eat the snack. The location where the yacht moored was not what we expected - we thought we’d see a colourful village but it wasn’t visible - plus we could only moor for 30 minutes. Music was too loud (distorted sound) at the front of the yacht. Food was basic, an aperitif only, and shouldn’t be called…”
