About the experience

Experience the magic of a Cretan sunset on our unforgettable sailing trip to Dia Island. Departing from Heraklion’s Old Venetian Harbor, we pass by the stunning Koules Fortress and head out into the Aegean, letting the afternoon breeze guide us across the deep-blue sea. Our friendly crew will share the fascinating myths and history of Dia Island as you relax and enjoy the views.

Upon arrival at Dia’s calm bay, dive into its turquoise waters or take part in fun water activities such as snorkeling, fishing, and paddle boarding (subject to wind conditions). Refreshing drinks are always available, and our crew will gladly assist with anything you need.

Later, enjoy a rich Mediterranean dinner with Greek salad, appetizers, and shrimp linguini, served with wine, beer, iced tea, or soft drinks. Vegetarian and gluten-free versions are available upon request.

As the sun begins to set, you’ll savor a fresh fruit salad and watch the sky fill with golden colors on the journey back to Heraklion — the perfect ending to a beautiful day at sea.

    We went sailing with a group of friends. The second we came on board we were welcomed fantastically. They took care of everything and gave us a very good time.

    We had the most amazing sailing trip. The staff and the catamaran were extraordinary. Dia island itself maybe not the most impressive, but we were enjoying the moment just being in a beautiful bay, swimming, padling and having delicious dinner. Staff was super friendly and caring. The fact that all drinks and food are included really gives piece of mind. Captain even tried to rescue the sun glasses that one of us accidently droped in a water. Highly recommend this company!

    This was a great experience for my special day. I have made a proposal to my future wife on the boat. The crew was open to adjust the dinner timing for us. We have unforgettable moments on the boat. In addition to all, the crew has also set up another boat to cheer for us after my proposal, what a great surprise!! My only recommendation is adding another bay / stop to the cruise and make it more diverse.

    Lovely afternoon sail with the best skippers Joey and Mariana. Though the weather was not completely in our favour, it sure was an adventure and we felt more than safe with them. Communication went well however the meeting point was indeed slightly confusing but found it within a minute. The description of the boat however was slightly deceiving as there was no usable shower on the boat and no bath towels. Also not all cabins were in use. Other than that it is a must see experience!

    This day was very important for us, a marriage proposal was being prepared... and thanks to the team (John, Katarina and Maria) everything was exceptional! They took great care, the meal was very good; there was all the equipment to enjoy at sea. The sunset was breathtaking. I can only highly recommend!!!

    Great afternoon out if you have a decent size group. 100% worth the money. The food was sensational and beautiful sunset on the way home. Felt safe at all times, the crew kept us well informed at all times. Highly recommend

    The check in process was very chaotic and instructions for meeting were very unclear. We had to wait 40+ minutes before we were actually taken to our boat because other groups of people were late who booked with the same company and had similar meeting times. The actual boat trip and captain and Bosun were great and exceeded all expectations - we had a fantastic time with Yannis and Yannis on our sunset cruise. The food was amazing (best we had all week) and the views and stories they told were great. We’d book again but would definitely recommend cleared check in / meeting instructions and times.

    Had a great trip with Jozef and crew. Everything was well arranged. Lots on board to enjoy the water. Jozef is a good storyteller and also speaks Dutch. Of course his English and Greek are also excellent, but it was an advantage for us that he also spoke Dutch. The food was top notch and freshly prepared on the boat. Plenty to drink. We will definitely do this again and hope to see Jozef again. A big 10

    Very nice cruise with experienced crew. They made sure we had a great time. Would highly recommend this cruise. Maybe some back cushions could be considered for more comfort.

    Lefteris and the skipper were super nice and accommodating. The food was great and cooked freshly on the boat. They even had a snorkel and a stand up paddle board we could use.

    The yacht is completely comfortable, we were 8 people - it was comfortable. We were deliciously fed, taken to the island and on the way back - just met the sunset. In general, there is nothing to say here. I recommend. Everything was good!?
