About the experience

Start your day the Cretan way — with clear skies, calm seas, and the quiet beauty of Dia Island, just a short sail from Heraklion. This 6-hour private morning cruise is designed for those who want a perfect mix of relaxation, adventure, and authentic local hospitality.

Your journey begins at 9:00 AM, when you’ll board a sleek 51.2-foot sailing yacht at Heraklion’s picturesque Venetian Port. Greeted with a warm smile, local beverages, and a detailed safety and sailing briefing, you’ll set off on a leisurely 1 hour and 15 minute cruise across the Aegean Sea.

As the wind catches the sails, guests are invited to join the sailing process — steer the yacht, help with the ropes, or just relax on cushioned sunbeds while the coastline slowly disappears behind you. The open sea experience is smooth and tranquil, ideal for first-time sailors and seasoned seafarers alike.

Your destination is Dia Island, a protected nature reserve rich with marine life, ancient legends, and peaceful scenery. Once anchored in one of its stunning turquoise bays, the yacht becomes your floating base for the next several hours. You can:

Swim in crystal-clear waters, free from crowds

Snorkel with provided gear, exploring underwater life and rocks

Try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) in the calm cove

Fish off the stern with local-style equipment

Or simply stretch out on deck with a cold drink in hand

While you enjoy the sea, your hostess prepares an authentic Cretan meal right on board. The menu includes:

Traditional Skioufichta pasta with Apaki chicken and local sauce

Greek salad with fresh vegetables & olive oil

Seasonal fresh fruit to finish

Optional Hotel Pickup and drop-off for a small additional charge

All accompanied by unlimited soft drinks, water, wine, and beer — all included in the price.

As the midday sun glistens over the waves and your appetite is satisfied, you’ll enjoy a final swim or just lounge in the shade before the yacht begins its return to Heraklion. The arrival back at port is around 15:00, just in time for your afternoon plans — fully relaxed, well-fed, and sun-kissed.
