    We had booked the catamaran tour. The pickup went well, the driver was very friendly. A short introduction in English and off we went. The crew of two were very friendly, the snacks were good and the drinks were cold. We then spent almost an hour swimming at Dia Island. The boat had equipment for snorkeling and stand-up paddling. Then back to the island at sunset. The trip was great, I would like to do it again next time.

    Absolutely wonderful trip on a large catamaran and fantastically friendly staff. Served cheese plate, food, dessert and made sure you never went thirsty. They took us to a nice bay with clear turquoise waters where we could snorkel and discover the aquatic life. This with a slow sail back at sunset which was not only beautiful but romantic

    We booked the sunset cruise to Dia Island from Heraklion. We were 2 adults traveling with a 10 year old. Picked up from our hotel and dropped off in perfect timing to sail. The Skipper and Chef/Mate (Spiros and Kostas) were very welcoming and supported us with information about the boat, safety and where we’re going. We had a glass of bubbles as soon as we stepped on board and set sail. The crew were really lovely and helped at any opportunity without even being asked. They kept checking in on people who were sea sick or nervous moving about the boat. Very approachable and relaxed. Once at Dia Island we were presented with a beautiful platter of meats, cheeses, pizza and the best fruit platter. There was wine, beer, juice and more in plenty. The sea was beautiful with a giant flamingo, paddle board and of course snorkel equipment. The boat was equipped with toilet, shower and plenty of areas to sit either with or away from our small group. You could embrace the wave and adrenaline at the front of the boat or at the back it was calmer and better for a smoother experience. The boat suited all! Was a lovely trip and the quality exceeded what we expected. A luxury experience that we will never forget.

    We had a great experience and a lot of fun, starting with a smooth transfer from our hotel to the port to meet the captain and everyone else that was sailing with us. Good music, a funny captain, tasty snacks and drinks, big waves and a beautiful sunset!

    The sunset sailing tour to Dia Island on the Minoas catamaran was simply fantastic. The boat, the crew Gil and Costa and the food were wonderful. Free sparkling wine, wine, beer and soft drinks, an all-round successful tour. The boat is almost new, with a lot of luxury. And very importantly, only a small group. We were 9 guests, so there was plenty of space to sit and lie down. Afterwards we were able to swim, snorkel or try SUP in a bay on the island. And then there was an incredibly beautiful sunset. Many thanks to Gil and Costa for this fantastic experience.
