About the experience

There’s no better way to end your day in Crete than with a private sunset cruise along its serene coastline. Departing at 4:00 PM from Souda, this 5-hour experience offers the perfect combination of swimming, sailing, and unforgettable views as the sun melts into the horizon. It’s a relaxed, magical getaway designed for those who love the sea and beautiful moments shared with good company.

As the boat glides along the coast, you’ll visit stunning spots like Agios Ioannis, Loutraki, Marathi, Aspro, and Nerospilia.
Swim in crystal-clear waters, snorkel in hidden coves, or simply relax on deck with a cold drink in hand. With a SUP board on board, you can paddle through calm bays and explore the coastline from a different perspective.

A delicious light lunch, fresh fruit, soft drinks and local wine are served on board as you watch the sky slowly change colour. As the golden hour arrives, the sea turns glassy and the coastline is bathed in warm light - the perfect backdrop for a last swim or just to enjoy the peaceful glide of the boat.

What makes this sunset cruise unique is its calm, intimate atmosphere. No crowds, no rush - just nature, good flavours and the kind of sunset you'll want to capture forever.

    We were a group of 8 friends and we had an INCREDIBLE time on the boat trip with Giannis and Kristina. The sights were incredible, we had plenty of time at each stop and we were lucky enough to see dolphins. The lunch and drinks were delicious - a 10/10 experience, could not recommend it more!

    Thank you Giannis and Christina for a super sailing day on 25th July. A warm welcome when we arrived at the boat and super hospitality throughout our cruise. Christina made us an amazing lunch and to finish our day off before heading back to Port they had brought a bottle of Champagne to toast my Aunties birthday 🎂. Thank you for a truly special day.🙏😊 Daniel Porter

    We had a brilliant day along the Chania coastline. We were a family of 6 and made to feel at home on Captain John and Christina's boat. We did a number of stop and swims and had great fun with the paddleboard. Christina served us with lovely snacks and drinks were available whenever we wanted them. We then had a fabulous traditional Greek lunch including Captain Johns very own olive oil. We would highly recommend John and Christina and would book again ourselves when in Chania. Thank you for such a memorable day

    An excellent day out with Captain Yiannis and Christina. A good selection of drinks provided as well as breakfast snack and very good lunch. I would thoroughly recommend booking with them. Having plenty of shade, seating, cabin for toddlers nap and a toilet is so much better than a RIB. Souda Bay also has fantastic views and swimming stops.

    This whole day trip experience was amazing from start to finish! Arriving at the boat in the morning we were greeted by Giannis and Christina with very welcoming energy and made us feel comfortable immediately! The boat is beautiful with hand crafted wood interior and plenty of space upstairs for relaxing and laying in the sun. The bays that they took us to were absolutely breath taking with the clearest bluest water and perfect for swimming and snorkeling. We spent about an hour and a half at each location before eating lunch. The food was delicious and we ate every bit of it! Throughout the trip and at each location Christina provided snacks, water, wine and beers and was the most gracious hostess! They also provided a speaker so we could play our own music the entire trip. The trip overall was one to remember for sure and talking with Giannis, his son and Christina was great! They are great hosts and people. I would highly recommend them to anyone visiting Chania and looking for an amazing day trip on the water with knowledgeable and great people.

    Highly recommended! Giannis and Adonis were exceptional. The boat was very comfortable. We had opportunities to swim and see sights that you can only experience by boat. They served us lunch and kept us highly entertained. They were courteous and funny. They genuinely want you to have a memorable experience. So far, it’s the highlight of my trip. Don’t miss out on this!

    We had a great time on the Sun Odyssey with Captain John and Christina. We hit three snorkeling/ beach areas, had a great lunch on the boat and enjoyed plenty of drinks and snacks. Views from the water were classic Greece and the sunset was amazing. Highly recommended.

    What a spectacular day sailing with Giannis and Christine. So personable, generous and kind. If his boat is available, consider yourself lucky and book it! We snorkelled, swam and tried the SUP in the crystal clear waters. They took us to wonderful places. Lovely lunch with wine too. Wonderful!

    I would like to thank the captain and his crewmate for the amazing experience they gave me and my now fiancé. Captain John personally helped me plan my proposal to my girlfriend and helped me in booking a photographer/drone pilot for the day! I booked the beautiful sail boat so that it would be a private tour and the entire experience was wonderful from start to finish! My fiancé and I can't stop talking about our day on the boat and the emotional proposal I was able to make to make at sunset, in a beautiful location at sea while we had everything recorded! From the bottom of our hearts we thank this crew and we look forward to hiring them again for a private tour in the future! Thank you again! Sincerely Ali and Cagla

    We hired the boat for a full day from 10.00 am to 7.00pm and had a fantastic trip. There was loads of room for the five of us, all adults, both up front for sunbathing and sitting under the canopy for shade. Giannis was a great skipper taking us to numerous great locations to dive off the boat and snorkel exploring coves and beaches. The views were brilliant and ones you can only really experience from the sea. Christina was a fantastic hostess telling us about the various landmarks, as well as providing traditional Greek snacks, beer, wine, soft drinks etc on top of a full lunch of meatballs, Greek salad and bread. Our trip was topped off with a spectacular sunset and I would fully recommend this trip to anyone who wants to see the island from a different perspective.
