    We took the catamaran over to Dia and docked for swimming/snorkeling/SUPing. The crew was great and so was the food. My only complaint was that the sea was pretty rough on the way there and back which led to a number of seasick guests. Certainly no fault of the crew – the sea does what the sea wants! A lovely day.

    The captain (can’t remember his name but he is from France) did a great job. We had a very safe trip thanks to him. The Skipper Kostas made an amazing lunch for us. It’s totally worth it to spend a day on this ship. Thank you and best 👌🙌

    We have been hiring charters on holidays for years all over the Mediterranean and definitely this one was the best we’ve ever hired.
    Big thank you. The food was amazing, staff friendly, music and vibes immaculate. We were really lucky to see lots of dolphins swimming with the boat on the way to our destination, it was amazing. The snorkeling was excellent and the SUP and inflatable also great fun. We will definitely return to Crete next year and use SeaExcursions again. Best day of the holidays.

    We had an absolutely incredible time on our trip with the team. Sakis was great! The food we were provided was incredible. I have a gluten intolerance and the chef ensured that I had a sufficient amount of food and not only that, it was delicious. Thank you for making our trip to Crete so incredible. Highly recommend to use them again 🙂

    We had such an amazing time during our trip to Crete! Captain Spiros and crew member Kostas made sure we were super comfortable the entire time and were very engaging. The food was delicious, we could play our own music, and the water was absolutely incredible. Definitely a highlight of the trip for me and my family.

    My husband and I had an amazing time on the boat with Yannis (the captain). The staff made the trip enjoyable and were accommodating for all needs. The food they made, while on board I might add, was great. The boat ride took about 30 or so minutes due to the seas being a little rough but once at Dia Island the water was calm and we were free to roam around using all equipment available to us. Definitely recommend this trip to others!

    Brilliant experience, staff were so accommodating and very entertaining.
    I’m from the UK (coast) so very used to water sports but I felt sea sick and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Snorkelling and paddle boarding which are suitable for everyone. Highly recommended

    We had a unique experience on the yacht…!
    We settled on MARGARITA: elegant catamaran, very well maintained and very functional… room for everyone to sit or lie down… for 15/18 people with 4 cabins, bathrooms, indoor and outdoor living room, spacious and functional kitchen.

    Poseidon took over the sea on the way to Dia, which is why the navigation was sporty but very well supervised and reassuring! (Excellent weather conditions)

    The best crew I have ever met: very friendly, with clearly explained safety and boat use instructions. The crew is very available.

    The meal was very tasty, appetizer, starter, main course, dessert, fresh fruit.
    Greek hospitality is no longer in doubt.
    Having already done many cruises to various European islands, this is by far the best cruise I have done so far. THANK YOU.
    A meaningful experience to share with your loved ones if you are in Crete.

    We (2x adults + 2x children) had a really nice catamaran tour to Dia! We were briefed by the crew and had some treats on board. The waves on the way there were quite strong but the crew took great care of everyone 👍🏻 The arrival on the island, the swimming in the crystal clear waters and the return trip at sunset made up for everything 🙂 Thanks to the crew!

    We took a catamaran to Dia Island. The whole trip was great! Very nice staff and there were delicious snacks and lots of drinks. The bay in front of Dia Island is breathtaking. The water is crystal clear.
    We were lucky that there were very few guests on the catamaran. This made it even more exclusive and private.
    I would definitely do it again and can recommend it to others.
