About the experience

End your day in Crete with a magical 3-hour private sunset cruise to the island of Theodorou, an uninhabited island just off the coast near Kolymbari, known for its wild beauty and clear waters. This short but unforgettable tour is the perfect way to enjoy the golden hour on the sea.

We begin our cruise in the late afternoon from Kolymbari Port, heading east along the calm coastline. As we approach the island of Theodorou, the sea turns crystal clear and the atmosphere becomes serene — ideal for a relaxing swim or a peaceful moment on deck. This island, home to rare wildlife and historic ruins, offers an untouched backdrop that feels worlds away from the everyday.

We'll anchor in a quiet bay near the island, where you can swim, snorkel, or simply float as the sun dips lower in the sky. There are no crowds here — just you, your crew, and the sound of the waves.

As the sky begins to shift into hues of orange and gold, relax on board with a drink in hand, take stunning sunset photos, and savor the stillness of the moment. Whether you're celebrating something special or just want to experience the magic of Crete in a unique way, this cruise is an ideal evening escape.

After sunset, we slowly cruise back to Kolymbari under the soft colors of twilight.

    We had a wonderful day with Andreas and Maria. Everything was perfect, and they are two absolutely lovely people! As for the cruise, the locations are absolutely incredible. Nature in its purest form, a marvel. And with almost no one around. That's also what makes this cruise a truly exceptional outing. The snacks, drinks, and lunches were very good, and there was everything you needed for snorkeling. I highly recommend Sea Gem Cruise and its captain, Andreas, who is truly lovely. Thank you both for your welcome, your kindness, and your attention throughout the cruise. Marc, Lena, Eline, and Jenny.

    Andreas and Vasco have a true passion for service. You immediately get a vip feeling and after that a feeling to be boating with friends. Very well organized and definitely a real gem. The name gem cruise is not randomly chosen. Jurgen, Tinne, Emma and Kasper

    Unforgettable Experience! We had the most incredible day on our private boat trip in Crete! From the moment we stepped aboard, everything was perfect. The captain and crew were warm, professional, and clearly passionate about what they do. The boat itself was spotless, spacious, and very comfortable! We explored hidden coves, swam in crystal-clear waters, and even stopped at a secluded beach where we had time to relax and snorkel. The personalised service made the whole experience feel extra special. We were served delicious local snacks, lunch and the most gorgeous fresh fruit! and the crew happily shared stories and history about the island. It truly felt like a VIP experience from start to finish. This private boat trip was hands down one of the highlights of our trip to Crete. I’d recommend sea gem cruises to anyone! Thanks again guys! We loved it!
