Private cruise in Balos - Where to start ? We wanted to celebrate our daughter's birthday and take the opportunity to formalize a marriage proposal and it was the idyllic setting to do it and above all it was the ideal team to take care of us. From the return transfer by Natassa and her husband, to the crew of their pretty boat. Incredible crew who bent over backwards to please us and show us the sea and wonderful places. This private excursion is without a doubt one of my best memories we will have. Thank you to the whole team who were incredibly kind. Even going as far as a little birthday cake for our daughter and a good proseco to celebrate our future wedding ❤️ Looking forward to doing this again with you

Phenomenal Day in Crete! Top notch private sail! - Had an incredible and adventurous private sailing trip to Balo Beach and the nearby ruins. The crew was friendly and lovely! Awesome food and they knew how to time our stops to give us a very private experience instead of the mass tourist tour boat trips. Be forwarned that you have to wade/swim in from the boat to the beach. It was all part of the fun but might be difficult for some. We climbed to the old fort and explored it entirely alone! Magical! As we left, we saw the throngs of tourists arriving on the big tour boats. 100% worth the splurge and perfect for our group of four. The ride out and back while relaxing on the deck of the boat with our champagne, was amazing! Beautiful way to see a beautiful part of Crete.

Balos Sailing Trip - What an amazing day with Andreas and Angelo. The boat was amazing as was the company. Angelo kept us happy, hydrated, and fed all day. He was full of interesting stories and insights into Greek culture. We were happy to be on board when tons of tourists arrived on the crowded ferry. The swimming in crystal clear water perfect as was the passing scenery. A great day! Highly recommended!

Amazing Gramvousa and Balos Cruise - Natassa's service was great! She responded quickly to our enquiries and provided all necessary info! If you are not looking for a big crowded big boat or full day at Gramvousa / Balos this trip is perfect! We were only 14 people on this motorboat which was comfortable and we arrived at our first destinatio in 45 min. The 1.5 hours at Gramvousa was enough time to explore and have a quick swim. Balos was another 10min and the transfer from the motorboat to the small boat that take you to shore was efficient. The 2.5 hours at Balos was an amazing experience and the light lunch provided was perfect!
