Exceptional sailing experience - Absolutely brilliant 6 hr sailing cruise around the island lunch stop can get off and swim, paddle board if you can manage firstly get on, then stay.
The 2 brothers were attentive and never without a drink.
Was without doubt the best boat trip I have been, they sailed the boat for a long time under sail and not engine power.
If near this resort it's a must do

Great sailing experience for the whole family. - Whow,
what a great experience for the whole family!
A big sailboat, a two-person super friendly crew and besides the four of us a nice English couple... You could say a private boat😍
Great route and many sights... we even sailed a bit.
Next to the island of Spinalonga we saw the Barbarossa cave and finally made a swim stop in the Blue Lagoon.
Crystal clear water, lots of fish and a very tasty lunch to fortify😍
All in all a super worthwhile excursion and compared to 50€ for 10 minutes jet skiing, inexpensive!
Four thanks for the great experience👌

A wonderful day sailing. - This was just the best day out. Totally met our expectations. Christos and Yanis were excellent hosts and made our day so relaxing and peaceful. Lovely food, wine and the views were amazing. Snorkelling, stop was fantastic with clear blue, turquoise water and plenty of fish to see. Would thoroughly recommend Avanti sailing from Agios Nikolas. Thanks Christos and Yanis for a great day.

Great boat trip - Christos and yannis were both great. Friendly and knowledgeable. Service was great on the boat. When we went around Spinalonga, we went a different way around from the masses so got clear pictures and views. Food on the trip was very good. Overall a great relaxing day.

Can warmly recommend - Everything as promised and worked great! The cruise circled the Spinalonga and then stopped for lunch and plenty of swimming/SUP/snorkling time in the blue lagoon. Water, white wine, soft drinks and a lunch of Greek salad + Chicken pasta were included. Due to heavy winds, we couldn't use the sails for very long but more importantly the boat was captained safety first and comfortably. Felt welcome as a solo traveller and had nice chats with other passengers and crew.
Can fully recommend!

Avantii: Simply Superb Sailing - We absolutely loved this day out, we traveled with a friend and she felt the same. Even before it began the communication was excellent, a very helpful description of where to park and even a photograph of the meeting point. Amazing touch!
The boat waw beautiful and spotlessly clean.
Georgios and Ioannis were so friendly and welcoming we felt at east right away. They were also very instructive and on point with safety on board.
The other guests were also lovely, a great mix from all over, even though there were only ten of us in total. The trip was so relaxing, plenty of drinks and the lunch was delicious. There was nothing that was too much for the guys, always happy to assist.
If you're looking at this kind of trip please do not hesitate to book, you will absolutely love it. We're definitely doing it again and we live in Crete.

Wonderfully Relaxing in Luxury - A wonderfully relaxing and peaceful day spent on the luxurious yacht visiting Spinalonga and swimming in the Blue Lagoon. The crew couldn’t have been more attentive and friendly and the food and drink were as plentiful as they were delicious. A must-do experience.

Definitely recommended - We had a wonderful day on the sailboat of Avantis Sailing last year in August. Because we liked it so much, we booked again for this year. The boat was great, the crew professional and super nice. We really liked the atmosphere on the boat. We did other boat tours, but we liked the day with Avantis Sailing the best.

Nothing really compares to sailing the Aegean Sea in a well equipped yatch with a great crew. It was memorable. - From beginning to end. Directions were clear; pick up and meeting the crew was super easy. Access to the boat terrific. We left port and were under sail soon thereafter. Crew was solicitous and fun. They had abundant drinks. We made the two planned stops they promised and fed us a simple but nice meal. Really special. As a critique, they had the boat under motor most of the time. This was to get to the planned stopping points. It was a bummer. You sail to sail. Sometimes the point of the journey is not to arrive. This was lost. If you book, ask about this. But you couldn’t ask for a nicer captain and first mate.
