This is the best Boat... - This is the best Boat Tour we have ever been on. From the start of the trip to the end, you are treated by Dimitri and Jessica like you are so special. The homecooked Greek meal created by Jessica was stupendous. Meanwhile, Dimitri made personal contact with every member of the passengers on board. The scenery was wonderful too,especially snorkeling in the aqua waters.

Highly recommend - We had Captain Attila and his crew, and they were fantastic! Top-notch service and plenty of delicious food and drink. The two stops were out of this world, with stunning views & fun water activities. We were glad we brought our shoes because we hiked up to the Gramvousa fort which was really cool. This excursion was the highlight of our week on Crete, and we highly recommend it!

The best crew in Crete! - We booked three boat tours with DanEri Yachts during our stay in Crete, and this one was hands down the best! No doubt Balos and Gramvousa were breathtaking, with crystal-clear waters perfect for swimming, but what truly set this tour apart was the exceptional service and the crew's genuine hospitality. Jessica made one of the best meals we had on the island, and her partner made sure we were always comfortable, bringing drinks to wherever we were relaxing on the boat and frequently checking in to see if we needed anything. It was easily one of the highlights of our week in Crete—if not the best!

Summer on a catamaran - I had read the great reviews, so it was difficult for the staff to exceed expectations. However, they really lived up to expectations. The service provided by Dimitri, Jessica, and Yani was excellent. The food was delicious. The day itself was great. We could swim, snorkel, peddle board, etc. The two stops were beautiful just as the journey to reach them. We had a great day, and it was the highlight of our holiday. We can recommend this trip when you are in (western part of) Crete!

Best day cruise ever! - The cruise was an absolute highlight of our stay in Chania, Crete! Dimitri, Yani, Jessica and crew were fabulous and funny, and anything that was needed including the excellent food was supplied with a smile. Balos and Gramvousa were simply spectacular! Would definitely recommend this cruise to all.

Fantastic trip, great staff and delicious food. - We booked this trip to celebrate my friend's 50th birthday and it was the highlight of our holiday! The crew, Yannis, Jess & Demetri were fantastic and on hand for anything we needed, be it helping us get about the catamaran at the beginning when the sea was very choppy, to keeping our glasses constantly topped up, to feeding us amazing food. What Jess produced out of a small galley kitchen, in incredibly rough seas was simply outstanding and delicious. The stops we made were beautiful and if you didn't want to swim ashore, one of the crew took you over in a little motorised dinghy. A great day out.

Perfect way to experience Balos. - Dimitri, Yanni (sp) and Jessica delivered a first class experience. We were sorry it had to end! The boat, food, music, meeting fellow travelers, the beach and views made for a perfect day. Highly recommend adding this to your holiday.

Absolutely perfect day! - If you’re looking for a way to explore Balos and Gramvousa, but want to avoid having to trek there or taking the ferry, do this!! It was such a stress free day and the boat was lovely. Balos and Gramvousa were absolutely stunning. It was so nice to basically explore it all alone. This trip is timed to avoid the ferry onslaught of people at both locations. Also, the food is stellar! I would definitely do this trip again and totally recommend it! Also, I love swimming and this trip gave me plenty of time to swim and snorkel in the Aegean!
