Highlight of our vacation - The day trip to Gramvousa and Balos was the highlight of our vacation and a very special experience.
The Contact with Vassia for information and booking was super easy. We appreciated the individual offer for only two of us.
The skipper Alex was amazing: super nice, professional and still easy-going, fun, caring, kept distance in the right moments. Just perfect.
His music was great, later we connected our own. We had Cretan lunch on board and loved his own olive oil and salt. Best we had during 2
Weeks of Crete.
His motto was “it’s your day” and it felt just like it. Thanks a lot. 100% recommendation.

Highly recommend! - Would highly recommend this trip. We had the most wonderful time. Alex was the sweetest and the kids adored him. It was my husbands birthday and they arranged to have a beautiful cake on the boat. Alex knew so much about the area and even jumped in to swim with the kids. We were even lucky enough to see a pod of dolphins on our way back to the port. It was amazing and we definitely hope to be back again one day.

Excellent boat trip in Crete! - Our boat trip with Chania Sea Experience was amazing! A group of friends and I booked it only one day before and Kostas was incredibly helpful and accommodating. On the day, our skipper Alex took us to the most amazing beaches in Crete and he was so nice and friendly. The boat is super comfortable, there were so many drinks available and the lunch they prepared for us was delicious! Overall it was such a great experience and definitely everyone's favourite part of the trip. It's great to have a private boat and Alex helped us avoid all the big crowds at Balos. And it's very affordable compared to other options. Would 100% recommend!

Fantastic day on the water - Perfect day on the water with our captain Alex for a private boat. First, we went to Gramvousa island and hiked to the fortress. We had it to ourselves; the view from the top is worth the hike up. Then we went to Balos Lagoon with crystal clear waters for a swim. Kostas and Alex took care of all the details. All we did was show up and have a perfect day.

Wonderful day with Chania Sea Experience - We had a great day exploring the Port of Kasteli - Agios Sozon- Gramvousa island- and Balos Lagoon.
Kostas was extremely communicative and helpful organizing the day. Our captain, Alexis, helped make the day enjoyable by customizing the boat tour to match our interests…hiking, snorkeling, swimming, and enjoying the gorgeous sights. The fresh sea bass ceviche (from the fish Alexis speared while we hiked on Gramvoussa) was delicious, and definitely added to the overall experience. It’s a day we’ll never forget!

Fantastic day out! - My partner, daughter (2 years old) and myself had a great time with a very experienced skipper Alex on the boat who made us all feel very comfortable. Everything was sorted perfectly by Kostas, even with short notice. The only way to visit Chania and see the best beaches is by boat and we could not have had a better experience. The lunch and drinks were great tasting. They had a fridge onboard keeping everything chilled, including our daughters drinks. The boat is extremely clean and they have everything you need. We visited some incredible beaches and cannot recommend highly enough! 10/10.
