Discover the island of Crete, nestled in the sparkling blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea! This Greek paradise is world-famous, thanks to its breathtaking landscapes, rich history, and sun-drenched Mediterranean climate. It is actually the largest island in Greece! Get ready to take an unforgettable journey to a destination that's as diverse as it is captivating.

One of the reasons Crete attracts countless visitors is its diverse range of experiences. Whether you're a history buff exploring ancient ruins, a sun-seeker lounging on stunning beaches, or an adventurer craving thrilling outdoor activities, Crete has it all. Not only that but the island is also surrounded by incredible destinations waiting to be explored. From the captivating Santorini with its iconic white-washed buildings to the charming coastal town of Chania, there's no shortage of nearby gems to discover.

Crete is famous for its unique cultural heritage. With a history dating back thousands of years, the island showcases remnants of Minoan civilization, impressive Venetian fortresses, and traditional Cretan villages that exude charm and authenticity. Indulge in mouthwatering local cuisine, savoring delicacies like dakos and souvlaki, or immerse yourself in the vibrant festivals that bring the island to life with music, dance, and celebration.

But what makes Crete truly exceptional for sailing enthusiasts is its pristine coastline and favorable weather conditions. As you sail around the island, you'll be greeted by turquoise waters, hidden coves, and secluded beaches accessible only by boat. The gentle sea breezes and calm waters make it a dream destination for sailors of all skill levels. And when you're ready to set sail and explore the wonders of Crete's coast, Nautal is here to help you find the perfect boat to make your journey unforgettable.


How much does it cost to rent a boat in Crete?

The price of a boat charter in Crete will depend on the boat and the type of charter experience that you wish to create. The type of boat, season, number of guests, and more will affect the price of your boat rental.

In the low season, prices start at $200 per day and $1,100 per week. Prices will be higher during the high season, around $625 per day and $4,300 per week. Additionally, a luxury yacht charter or a boat with more amenities will come at a higher price.

There may be additional fees not included in the final rental price, such as fuel or skipper fees. Adding a skipper can cost around $180 per day. You can reach out to the boat owner directly through Nautal to ask about the price details.

When is the best time to go?

If you're seeking warm temperatures and sun-kissed days, the summer months of June to August are your go-to. During this peak season, the temperature range from 75°F to 90°F. It's the perfect time to lounge on the sandy shores, dive into turquoise waters, and indulge in refreshing dips whenever you please. However, do keep in mind that the summer months are popular among travelers, so expect larger crowds and higher accommodation rates.

For those who prefer milder weather and fewer crowds, the shoulder seasons of spring (April to May) and fall (September to October) are great choices. Temperatures during these months range from 60°F to 75°F, providing a comfortable climate for exploration and outdoor activities. The sailing season is from April to November, with gentle winds and calm waters that allow you to set sail and discover the hidden gems of Crete's coastline.

Rent with or without a skipper

To rent with or without a skipper? The choice is yours! When it comes to chartering a boat in Crete, Greece, Nautal offers you the flexibility to decide whether you want to captain your own adventure or leave the navigation to a skilled skipper. Let's explore the options:

Renting with a skipper: If you're looking for a stress-free sailing experience or simply want to sit back and relax, renting a boat with a skipper is a perfect choice. Our experienced skippers are knowledgeable about the local waters and can guide you to the best-hidden spots, ensuring smooth sailing. They handle the navigation while you focus on soaking up the sun and views.
