Perfect sailing experience - Yannis and Kostas were so awesome. They taylores our sail to our interests. We loved that we got to put the sails up and turn off the engine and enjoy a peaceful day. I highly recommend them for a beautiful sailing experience.

The best sailing trip - The best team ever! Excellent service, the foods were delicious and wine also. The boat was clean and well equipped. The owners were really kind and helpful. They surprised me with a birthday cake and a bottle of Prosecco. Thank you so much! I wholeheartedly recommend it! 😊✨

Private, friendly and awesome! - We had this tour booked through our travel agent. We were a family of 4 (kids 10 and 8yo). We booked this evening cruise for Aug 19 2024. We had an incredible time with Yanis and his crew mate. It was a 4 hours cruise to Ayioi Theodhoroi Island from Chania port. This is a family owned company. Yanis is a young captain and is very knowledgeable and super professional. His crew mate was equally nice and professional. We had good conversations and laughs. They were 2 crew for us 4, they made us feel super comfortable and cared for our needs as we liked. Although they might seem young (in their 20's), don't be fooled. We felt like they gave us a top-of-the-line world class service to the highest standards we'd expect. They know what they are doing, and we hope they keep it that way, this is what it should be. We anchored by the south bay and we enjoyed some snorkelling and some swimming. Waters were obviously crystal clear so it was a beautiful evening for us. Weather was super calm and no waves. Just perfect. We got served some beverages (alcohol and non-alcohol) and a dinner (fruits, typical Greek appetizers and some sandwiches) all pretty tasty. The kids were happy and so were we. We were able to walk around the sailboat and chill on the deck or at the front. It was super chill. They made us feel like it was our own boat. The crew always made sure we had everything we needed. At the end of the trip, we came back at sunset and it was magical. All in all we had a wonderful experience and we are 100% positive in recommending this tour to all of you travellers. These "kids" get it totally. We hope for them a bright and lucrative future. Note: They do morning and evening cruises in the same day for this particular route. Although we were their 2nd trip of the day, we never felt they were tired or in a rush to come back and close the shop. They work hard. Thanks again for this super experience. - From Canada

Amazing private sailing charter - We had the pleasure of using Sailing Cruises Chania for a half day excursion and had an amazing time. The guides were very attentive and fun to hang out with. Great drinks and snacks, stand up paddle board on board - I highly recommend using this company.

Great sea adventure !!! - We had an incredible time on boat trip in Chania, thanks to the outstanding service and experience provided. Gianis and Kostas were exceptionally helpful, taking great care of us and anchoring the boat in breathtaking locations. The food on board was delightful, with Kostas' mother's stuffed peppers and tomatoes being a true culinary highlight. The entire experience had a warm, family-like atmosphere, making us feel truly cared for—something we didn't experience on other trips. We highly recommend it! 👌

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.
