What you can expect

  • Experience the Ultimate Sunset Catamaran Escape to Dia Island!

    Looking for a unique way to explore Crete? Step aboard our luxury catamaran and set sail on an unforgettable journey to the breathtaking Dia Island—an uninhabited paradise just off the coast of Heraklion.

    Our adventure begins at the Old Venetian Harbour, where you'll cruise past the historic Koules Fortress, standing guard over the marina for centuries. As we sail into the deep blue of the Cretan Sea, you’ll be treated to stunning coastal views, smooth sailing, and fascinating stories from our crew—including ancient myths that say Dia Island was created by Zeus himself to protect Crete.

    After about an hour of sailing, we arrive at Dia’s tranquil bay, a place so peaceful it feels like time stands still. Dive into crystal-clear turquoise waters and enjoy a variety of water activities that are all included in your trip:

    Snorkelling among vibrant sea life

    Swimming in pristine, calm waters

    Stand-Up Paddle Boarding (weather permitting)

    Fishing for fun and relaxation

    Or simply lounging on deck and soaking in the sun

    Our warm and welcoming crew will be on hand to provide all equipment and serve refreshing drinks throughout your stay at anchor.

    And when it’s time to eat, we’ll treat you to a freshly prepared pasta with pesto sauce. After lunch, it's time for even more fun! Swim again, float in the warm Mediterranean waters, enjoy fresh seasonal fruit, and raise a glass of traditional Cretan raki to an unforgettable day.
    Vegetarian, vegan, and allergy-friendly options are always available.
