About the experience

Set sail from Chania’s iconic Venetian Harbor and embark on an extraordinary 6-7 hour voyage along Crete’s most stunning and secluded coastal treasures. This private tour, designed for up to 9 guests, blends adventure, relaxation, and the island’s unparalleled natural beauty.

Your journey begins at Marathi and Loutraki Beaches, where crystal-clear waters and traditional Greek taverns welcome you. Swim, snorkel, or enjoy a local delicacy while soaking in the serene surroundings.

Next, venture to Seitan Limania (Stefanou Beach), a hidden gem tucked between dramatic cliffs. Its turquoise waters and tiny sandy cove create a breathtaking and photogenic stop on the Akrotiri Peninsula.

We then cruise to Katholiko Gorge, a tranquil cove surrounded by rugged cliffs and shimmering waters, ideal for exploration, swimming, or simply soaking in the untouched scenery.

Stavros Beach, famous as the filming location of the iconic Zorba the Greek dance scene, awaits with its crystal-clear waters and stunning mountainous backdrop—a perfect mix of cinematic history and natural beauty.

The adventure continues to Machairida Beach, a golden-sand paradise with calm azure waters, followed by Tersanas, a peaceful retreat offering leisurely swims and sunbathing in pristine surroundings.

Finally, reach the secluded Aspra Lagoon, where shallow turquoise waters meet striking limestone formations, providing a serene and picture-perfect finale to your journey.

Throughout the tour, enjoy soft drinks, wine, beer, and water while relaxing on deck or exploring each hidden cove.

This private Cretan odyssey promises sun-soaked beaches, secret coves, and unforgettable moments, all away from the crowds. Book now and discover Crete’s coastal gems like never before.

    Being a skipper myself, George would have to be one of the best I've been with. Safety first was a priority. I highly recommend him and we will be definitely using his services again.

    We had a great afternoon with George. He took us to see caves, to Menies and Thodoroy swimming and to a couple other alcoves that were beautiful to see and wonderful waters to swim and see various fish. Wonderful memories and we would highly recommend booking with George and spending the day on his boat.
