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.

Perfect Family Catamaran Cruise to Balos & Gramvousa - We had a wonderful day with Cretan Sailing Cruises visiting Balos Lagoon and Gramvousa Island. The catamaran was spacious and comfortable, perfect for a family trip. The crew was very friendly and welcoming, and everything was very well organized. The kids loved swimming in the crystal-clear water. It was definitely one of the highlights of our holiday! Highly recommended for families visiting Crete.

Unique beauty of Crete - I really enjoyed this cruise. The beaches are amazing. I've never seen such amazing scenery before. This is the perfect way to experience the unique beauty of the island. I enjoyed the food they offered on boat and the staff were very friendly, especially when I felt a bit nauseous they immediately helped me out. I'm planning to revisit this year with my boyfriend and I know for sure this is the No1 reservation I'm going to make.

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
