5.00Me and my partner booked this boat trip months before our holiday to Crete. From start to finish the communication from Georgios was top tier! When we arrived they were so friendly and welcoming. Showed us how to drive the boat and all the legal documents and away we went! 4 hours in the sea! The boat was very easy to manage, so clean and well looked after. We had the best day ever. Thank you :)
Amazing!

5.00Me and my girlfriend came as amateurs and came back as sailors, If youre looking to rent a boat in crete go to here. We were quoted over €350+ for 2 hours for a bad quality boat by a nearby guide, Saw this website and gave it a go, We got an introduction of how the boat works and the best places to go along with a phone with gps on it, he showed us through everything and both were very honest people passionate about their business. Honestly If we rent a boat again in crete we are going to him so if youre considering it… BOOK NOW!!!

5.00The guys who work there are so friendly and helpful which is always a good thing. They kept in contact with us as the booking needed to be changed due to the weather. The boat was gorgeous and we were provided with snorkels and water. My son’s favourite part of Crete he loved it and we would highly recommend it!
