Perfect boat trip - Wonderful boat trip visiting a range of secluded coves in the beautiful waters around the coastline of Chania. From booking until return it was exceptional service. Our skipper Christos was brilliant - knowing when to chat and give us tips and knowledge of the area and when to leave us to relax and take in the views in peace. Lovely lunch provided on board too. We were a family group, age range 16 to nearly 60. Would Definitely recommend.

Add this to your itinerary! - This was a highlight of our 14 day trip to Greece. Pablo made the day perfect. I highly recommend this private trip. We went to several tiny beaches only accessible by boat.

A wonderful boat trip. - Nikolas, who manages the business, was really helpful and gave pertinent advice about the weather (when to rent and when not to rent). Tasso, our skipper for the day, was a nautical gem - understood the sea and took us to the marvellous small bays and coves around Marathi - crystal clear water and great for snorkelling. A wonderful boat trip.
