What you can expect

The company operates a 19-meter / 62-foot traditional wooden boat with a total capacity of 100 guests. The boat is spacious yet cosy, allowing us to provide a comfortable and high-quality experience on board. It offers shaded areas, toilets, showers, comfortable seating, snorkelling masks, and space for sunbathing on deck.

Discover the coastline of Hersonissos on a relaxing 4-hour cruise aboard a traditional wooden boat. Meet your friendly local crew at the port and set off across the clear Cretan waters for a day of swimming, sunbathing, music, and freshly prepared food on board.

Your cruise includes two swim stops, weather permitting. First, after approximately 30 minutes of cruising from the port, enjoy the beautiful waters near Stalis, where you can swim, snorkel, or simply relax in the sun. Then continue for about 35 minutes to the stunning Saint George Bay, one of the most scenic spots along the coast, known for its cliffside chapel, sea cave, and crystal-clear waters.

While you swim and enjoy the views, the crew will prepare a freshly grilled chicken lunch on board, served with salad, bread, and a fresh fruit platter with melon and watermelon. A vegetarian option is also available.

On the way back, cruise along the Anissaras coastline and enjoy views of the golden beaches and Zeus Island in the distance before returning to the port of Hersonissos.

This experience is ideal for couples, families, and groups of friends looking for a relaxed and authentic boat trip with a warm Cretan atmosphere. Please note that the exact route and number of swim stops may change depending on sea and weather conditions, as your safety and comfort are always our first priority.

Come aboard, experience Greece with all your senses, and make memories that will last a lifetime.
