Must do in Crete - The whole day was amazing! Staff were great and so friendly. Food was delicious and lots of it. Loved doing the smaller boat tour, we were able to beat the crowds from the big ship to both spots and we enjoy before all the people arrived. Beer and wine included. 100% recommend

An experience to repeat! - We had a wonderful day. Friendly staff and very attentive to customers, good at their duties
We left on schedule greeted by a great breakfast, arrived in Balos before the arrival of the ferries that bring a lot of people, the same in Gramvousa and it was very important to see these two beautiful environments at their best!
Very good lunch on board perfect return with an exceptional sea!!!

Amazing trip for kids, couples and adults alike! - We loved Dima, Yanis and Jessica. The whole experience was great. Our kids loved the experience and the crew was so sweet with them! Brought out toys, let them help on the ship, and helped to keep them smiling. They now want to live on the boat. Great day on the water, delicious food and wine. Would absolutely recommend to anyone. Easy to understand booking, directions and great communication through out.

Worth the money... - Being a great experience before anyone else on Balos and Gramvousa, so the journey starts as early as 8.30am. On the catamaran max. 20 people and enough space and free space for everyone. The team is very accommodating and treats everyone like a king. Food is sufficient and everything prepared by hand, you can watch.
At 17.00 you are back and would like to do the tour again the next day.
Highly recommended- is definitely worth the money.

A dream day - Everything lived up to our expectations, a beautiful boat, 5* service and excellent food.
Arriving before everyone else on both sites really gives us the Impression of being privileged.

Balos and Gramvousa with Daneri Yachts - We had a day on this luxury catamaran yesterday with an old friend and it was absolutely fantastic.
Daneri yachts arranged a transfer from our hotel in Chania making the day seamless. The Yacht is a luxury 14m Catamaran with an 8m berth, with several lounging and dining areas. It also comes with many paddleboards, snorkeling equipment and a dinghy for shore excursions.
Our host Dimitri did an exceptional job in looking after all of the guests throughout the day, all done with good humour, information and assistance... a tireless worker. Jessica prepared snacks, tasting plates and a fabulous lunch, all to to a very high standard, far above anything I've had on previous boat charters. A job very well done. Captain Yannis ensured we had prime mooring locations at each destination and handled the vessel in a very safe manner, without fuss. A very good team.
As we cruised out of the harbour of Kissamos, we watched many, many vehicles doing the drive to Balos, and on arrival at Balos making the long trek down to the beach. I knew then that we had made the right choice in doing the Luxury Catamaran Cruise with Daneri Yachts. An exceptional team, on an exceptional vessel made for an exceptional day.
Very highly recommended.

Th most wonderful expierence you can have - Outstanding,unique & luxery.
The crew was awesome.
It was an wonderful time on board.
And the crew has very taking care of us. We enjoyed every single second on board. Good selection of beer. Delicious food. Wonderful swimming times. Everything was perfect, even an transfer was organised. I can recommend that to everyone. Instead to take the big tourist boats with up to 1100 people on board. This is very private & individual. The best what you can do if you spend holidays on crete. It feels like 5 stars expierence.
