Speedboat/RIB Cruise with Cretan Sailing Cruises from Kissamos. Spent the morning on Gramvousa Island/Venetian Castle & at Balos Lagoon. Excellent morning on the boat and beaches. Our captain was very safe and a great pilot. He was a great host and made sure everyone was comfortable and clearly communicated the schedule at each stop. Very professional company with great staff and beautiful boats.

Great experience on the rib boat tour from Kissamos to Gramvousa and Balos. Small group, great snorkeling equipment and our guide Pavlos made sure everyone had a good time.

An unforgettable trip to Chrissi!! Great crew, delicious food, fast boat, and a very friendly crew. Highly recommended. Thank you see you again soon 👍🏻

We went on a speed boat with Pablo’s and it was an amazing experience! We were so thankful to have chosen that option rather than the yacht cruise. We got to Gramvousa and Balos beach so much quicker and had plenty of time to see what we needed to see. We also arrived back on time and was able to attend our next scheduled appointment. Pablo’s was so kind and explained everything and accommodated us. He also made us delicious sandwiches and gave us plenty of time on each destination. We are thankful and very happy with our experience with Cretan Sailing Cruises!

Just great, amazing even. The crew Amalia, Sofia and Petros were so but so nice, very friendly and helpfull, they were the best part of that trip which in itself was awesome. The boat trip is nice, you can watch Crete getting further and Dia getting closer, accompanied by the other boats that are going there. The lunch onboard was great, one of the best Shrimp Pastas I ate. On Dia Island I just snorkeled and dove and still had a great experience. Loved every minute of it. Highly recommend. And for the crew, thank you so much for a wonderfull time.

Une superbe journée en famille à bord de ce bateau privatisé !!! Mille merci pour votre accueil, votre gentillesse et pour la qualité de vos services. Le repas servis à bord est d’une grande qualité, nous nous sommes régalé petit comme grand ! La « croisière » est agréable et la petite île de Dia offre des baignades dans des eaux cristallines. Nous recommandons les yeux fermés; À bientôt peut être.

A great experience in Crete!! 💙

Unsere gebuchte Segeltour musste um 3 Tage verschoben werden, da das Wetter es nicht zugelassen hat, Sicherheit geht nun mal vor, dafür hatten wir vollstes Verständnis. Umso mehr haben wir uns gefreut, dass es dann doch noch in unserem Urlaub geklappt hat. Der Wind war dennoch ordentlich zu spüren, aber man hat die Erfahrung der Skipper gespürt, so dass wir sicher und heil am Badestop angekommen sind, um zu schnorcheln. Die Skipper haben sich auch jederzeit nach dem Befinden der Passagiere erkundet und bei Übelkeit mit Rat zur Seite gestanden. Wir konnten zahlreiche Fische sehen. Das Essen war sehr gut und mehr als reichlich. Wir würden diese Tour nochmals buchen und können es sehr empfehlen.

We had a wonderful time onboard the “Johnny” with Ariel and Christina. They were great hosts and very informative about the history of the island of Dia. Once we arrived at Dia we anchored in St. George’s Bay and were able to swim, snorkel, or paddle board for over an hour until it was time to eat the delicious dinner that they prepared for us. A great experience well worth the money.

Best sailing experience!
