The boat’s top-notch sound system and complimentary refreshments ensure a worry-free day at sea.

“Stunning experience. - By far the best experience of our holiday in Crete. The rough seas had scuppered our chances of a skipperless boat hire so we were offered the chance to upgrade to a much bigger, more powerful boat. Our skipper took us to some amazing coves where we swam and had the use of the SUP and the sea scooter which was brilliant fun. All in all just a wonderful four hours on the water and an unforgettable experience. Would highly recommend.” - Reviewed at 2024-07-31
