About the experience

The displayed price reflects the capacity of 10 people for a private group experience. However, we understand that every group is unique and our yachts are fully capable to accommodate up to 14 people! For larger groups than 10 people there is a small extra fee of 100 euros (not per person).

Experience the magic of a Cretan sunset on our unforgettable sailing trip to Dia Island. Departing from Heraklion’s Old Venetian Harbor, we pass by the stunning Koules Fortress and head out into the Aegean, letting the afternoon breeze guide us across the deep-blue sea. Our friendly crew will share the fascinating myths and history of Dia Island as you relax and enjoy the views.

Upon arrival at Dia’s calm bay, dive into its turquoise waters or take part in fun water activities such as snorkeling, fishing, and paddle boarding (subject to wind conditions). Refreshing drinks are always available, and our crew will gladly assist with anything you need.

Later, enjoy a rich Mediterranean dinner with Greek salad, appetizers, and shrimp linguini, served with wine, beer, iced tea, or soft drinks. Vegetarian and gluten-free versions are available upon request.

As the sun begins to set, you’ll savor a fresh fruit salad and watch the sky fill with golden colors on the journey back to Heraklion — the perfect ending to a beautiful day at sea.

We went sailing with a group of friends. The second we came on board we were welcomed fantastically. They took care of everything and gave us a very good time.

We had the most amazing sailing trip. The staff and the catamaran were extraordinary. Dia island itself maybe not the most impressive, but we were enjoying the moment just being in a beautiful bay, swimming, padling and having delicious dinner. Staff was super friendly and caring. The fact that all drinks and food are included really gives piece of mind. Captain even tried to rescue the sun glasses that one of us accidently droped in a water. Highly recommend this company!

This was a great experience for my special day. I have made a proposal to my future wife on the boat. The crew was open to adjust the dinner timing for us. We have unforgettable moments on the boat. In addition to all, the crew has also set up another boat to cheer for us after my proposal, what a great surprise!! My only recommendation is adding another bay / stop to the cruise and make it more diverse.

Lovely afternoon sail with the best skippers Joey and Mariana. Though the weather was not completely in our favour, it sure was an adventure and we felt more than safe with them. Communication went well however the meeting point was indeed slightly confusing but found it within a minute. The description of the boat however was slightly deceiving as there was no usable shower on the boat and no bath towels. Also not all cabins were in use. Other than that it is a must see experience!
