Great activity to do with friends - The experience was wonderful. The staff was extremely friendly and humorous, and super helpful when friends were experiencing motion sickness. The boat was also supplied with everything we needed for the day including drinks, water activity supplies, and food. Overall great experience :)

An absolute must do for your Crete vacation - This is a real sailing tour. Be prepared to get a little wet and feel the wind. Our captain and his first mate expertly navigated the trip to Día and prepared us a freshly cooked pasta dish with seafood, Greek salad, bread and tzatziki when we arrived at Dia. There was snorkel equipment to use, a SUP and a little beach. They even had some beanbags to help us relax. Absolutely worth the price.

The views were amazing and the guys were sooo friendly. The food wasn't good definitely pack something because there wasn't even close to enough food for everyone on the boat
