10/10 experience, would definitely recommend - We chose to go for the sunset cruise and the views were incredible. We took amazing pictures and had a blast. I was a bit anxious because the boat was choppy but the staff on board were so so attentive and reassuring. They really put me at ease. It’s definitely worth the money so I would 100% recommend

Amazing!! Top notch experience. - There was three of us on our trip Friday 6th September and the team who looked after us was as amazing as the views. We had the best experience ever. We couldn’t recommend this enough. The stay at Dia island was majestic, we had so much fun.

Don’t miss a sunset sail in Crete! - It was a lot of fun sailing for the first time! The boat was spacious and comfortable and apparently the newest catamaran in Crete! Spiros and Georgios were great hosts, playing fun music, giving us great drinks and yummy snacks. They also gave us instructions to keep us safe. Swimming in the bay off Dia was lovely. I’m so glad I took this excursion!

Highly recommend - The small group was nice, there is enough space for everyone. We got a got a drink once we got on board, throughout our time the staff was always accommodating for all the soft drinks we wanted and they we also very friendly. Once we got to beach we were given the option of wine and beer. Once we arrived back to port we were given a final shot. This experience was well worth the money and would highly recommended.

Relaxing Way to Watch the Sunset in Crete - Unlike a lot of boat tours that are too overcrowded to let you enjoy yourself, this tour had the perfect amount of people for the space and a crew that was highly attentive to your wants and needs. The views were beautiful and the water was clean and clear. It was a relaxing way to spend an evening in Crete.

Nice trip with good food - Nice trip out to Dia. Did a bit of swimming and snorkelling and someone from my group managed to see an octopus. The food and drinks offered were perfectly nice! Don’t expect a full meal, as it’s mainly nibbles. It was enough food that we came back full. Really nice crew and good atmosphere all around.

I'm on a Boat - No vacation is complete without getting on a boat at least once. Our scheduled sailing cruise had to be postponed one day due to inclement weather, but this was no problem for us. The folks at DanEri Yachts were easy to work with and communicated clearly. We had no problem meeting up on the port side of the Marina Café in Heraklion for our sunset cruise. The hosts were polite and gracious with drinks (juice, wine, etc.) and a spread of snacks (fresh fruit, chicken nuggets, cheese, breadsticks, charcuterie, etc.). The sunset cruise took us out to a cove in the southwest corner of the uninhabited isle of Dia - which when viewed from Heraklion resembles a lizard or sleeping dragon. There we were given around 30 minutes or so to swim or snorkel. We opted to just dip our feet in the water, as it was still too cold for us to comfortably swim in, though another traveler decided to brave it anyway. We returned to the port just as the sun was setting - perfect timing! I highly recommend this cruise for those looking for an evening activity in Heraklion.
