Wonderful Trip! - We had an amazing time! The boat was fairly new, staff was amazing and so friendly and the whole experience was just wonderful! We booked the vip seats and im glad we did as we were assigned specific seats with towel on the second floor. We stoped in two areas both were breath taking. Definitely recommend this trip for a memorable experience!

Best boat trip - Super cool trip with the coolest boat. The food was really good as well as all the delights that were along the way, and really sweet staff.
But... We had bought VIP seats, and it says that you get extra care, there was really nothing about it. But otherwise it was all in all a super cool trip and with really good seats on top deck.
VIP seats can be clearly recommended

Beautiful Day on the Catamaran - We had an amazing time on the Catamaran. We did the VIP experience which I highly recommend so you can have a saved seat since it can get busy below. The water toys were fun, the beaches were beautiful, and the wine/food was delicious. The staff were very friendly as well.

Wonderful, very well worth it! - Staff very friendly, committed and responsible with safety! Good food and music! Food and drink abundant. It was noticeable that the boat had its impeccable structure. The equipment offered, such as snorkels, jackets, etc were also all very good. Besides obviously the beach of Balos is amazing.

Perfect Trip – Worth Every Penny - Everything went really well. The food was plentiful and of excellent quality, from breakfast to the afternoon snack. The crew was attentive, friendly and always available. They also provided a dinghy service to visit the Balos lagoon and all the equipment for snorkeling, including paddle boards and even a fun inflatable flamingo for the kids. On board there were also showers to rinse off the salt after swimming. It’s not the cheapest option, but the price is fully justified by the quality of the service. Truly nothing to complain about – a perfect trip!

On top! - Incredible day on board the catamaran where everything was perfectly organized: welcoming, professional and very attentive crew throughout the cruise. Comfortable and spacious boat, perfect for relaxing while sailing on a turquoise sea. The scenery was breathtaking, and the arrival in Balos from the sea gives a whole new dimension to this already beautiful place. There are several stops to swim in crystal clear waters, and a delicious meal was served. I recommend.

Nice view - We went on this boat ride and it was a really lovely experience I’d definitely recommend it to friends and families. It has a very family-oriented vibe, so it’s perfect if you’re looking to relax, lounge, and wind down rather than party. The atmosphere is calm and enjoyable, and it’s a nice way to take in the views.
One thing to keep in mind is that the boat does get quite crowded, so I’d suggest going early to secure a good spot. Overall, it’s a wonderful experience and worth trying if you want something laid-back and scenic.

Nice trip, but not worth the price - The catamaran trip was pleasant, and the crew was very friendly and attentive. However, the experience did not match what was advertised. The so-called “gourmet cuisine” was simply chicken, pasta, and a salad, nowhere near what could be called chef cuisine. Drinks were very basic, and the promised “Mediterranean lunch with seafood and meat” turned out to be just one chicken leg per person with some vegetables and salad.
The journey itself was enjoyable, but everything felt rushed and overall it doesn’t justify the price charged.

Wreck Ballance,,,,,also far away from the coast - “The boat rocked so much you’d think you were in a balance contest. And when you finally reach Balos and Gramvousa, it anchors far from shore, as if saying ‘enjoy from a distance’. The owners? More like spoiled captains than professionals, turning their crew into survivors of their own authoritarian sea. If this is ‘luxury,’ you’re better off staying on land.”wreck owner is better,,,,,choose rethymno Crete other stuff,my experience,my opinion!!.
