Why You’ll Love This Cruise
Our luxury catamaran is your floating paradise — spacious, elegant, and built for comfort. Stretch out on a sunbed, unwind in a shaded lounge, or dance under the open sky — your perfect spot awaits.
A cheerful entertainer keeps the energy alive, turning the journey into a day of fun and connection. Between laughter and music, enjoy a variety of Cretan snacks, light brunch, and a delicious lunch — all included. Coffee, tea, water, and soft drinks are available throughout the cruise.
For adventure lovers, the sea is your playground! Try stand-up paddleboarding, snorkeling, or float on one of our inflatables. Don’t miss our pink flamingo float — perfect for your next photo moment.
The Journey
Your day begins at Kissamos Port, where our friendly crew welcomes you aboard. We’ll sail toward Balos Lagoon, one of Crete’s most photographed gems. Arriving early means you can enjoy the calm, crystal-clear waters before the crowds.
A tender boat takes you closer to the lagoon — swim, snorkel, or simply relax in the soft morning sun. According to legend, Balos once hid pirates — today, it hides only beauty.
Back on board, a freshly prepared Cretan lunch awaits you. Enjoy every bite while gazing at the endless blue. You can also order a cocktail or premium drink for an extra touch of indulgence.
Next, we visit Gramvousa Island — an uninhabited paradise that once sheltered pirates and rebels. Swim near its shore or explore its wild, timeless landscape.
Throughout the cruise, our crew and entertainer ensure you’re having an unforgettable time. You can even learn a traditional Greek dance like Sirtaki — because no Cretan day is complete without a little rhythm.
