Great day, great crew, pleasant fellow travelers. Would love to do it again. - Very good communication and planning. The trip on the catamaran is very pleasant. Luckily for us, the weather was also perfect for such an excursion. The crew is well-coordinated. The food was very delicious. To start, there was coffee and cake as well as croissants. Lunch buffet according to. Description/ offer. Return trip then also fruit. Drinks were sufficiently available and very delicious. First stop was Balos - pleasant. Second then Gramvousa - good for swimming. The water here is significantly deeper than at Balos. We were also lucky with our fellow travelers - making it a perfect excursion.

Great Kissamos and Gramvousa time - The Cretan Sailing Cruise does an amazing job and is an excellent value for money and cruise. We booked a private deluxe cruise with meals for the entire day. Everything was awesome. The caterman was perfect. We had kids with food allergies and they accommodated no problem. The captain, crew and chef are first rate. I would recommend this cruise option and cruise company to anyone

Our favorite day in Greece! - This private catamaran cruise was the best part of our family vacation. The crew was so wonderful, and made sure that we had everything we could possibly want to make the day perfect. The food was wonderful, they gave us great information about the areas we were in, and they were just generally great company.

Just ok - Just ok. Good boat and good crew destinations just ok. Having to take dingy small boat to shore was lame. Balos was packed and then the fort once the ferry arrived with 200 people made it not paradise. I would choose another trip. The boat ride made it great with such blue waters
