About this tour

⛵️ Ready to set sail? Get on your private yacht and leave the world behind for a day of sun, sea, and adventure! This all-inclusive private sailing trip from Chania is your ticket to the most beautiful and peaceful spots in Chania. Whether you want to relax, swim, or taste local food, this trip has it all.

🌊 From the moment the sails fill with wind, it’s nothing but views and discoveries. Sail past the Venetian fortress, which has been standing guard for 800 years, and continue to Karga Island. With every nautical mile, history and nature collide – this is a journey like no other. Anchor at the famous A’Giannis Chapel on a pebble beach and enjoy a swim or snorkel in the turquoise waters.

As you sail along the coast, the Ottoman fortress on the hills will catch your eye, and the Idjedin prison fortress below will keep watch over the shores. The wind will take you past beautiful seaside villages like Kalyves and Almyrida, each with their own coastal charm, and then to the majestic Drapano Lighthouse. And if the wind is in our favour, you might even find a secluded cove or hidden lagoon where you can anchor and dive into paradise. 🗺️

The adventure doesn’t end with sightseeing. Once the anchor drops, you’ll have plenty of time to explore the mesmerizing, crystal-clear waters. Snorkel in serene coves, swim through turquoise lagoons, or simply float away with the breeze. The perfect places to escape, unwind, and connect with nature. 🏝️

🍽️ After working up an appetite, it’s time to indulge in a freshly prepared 3-course Mediterranean meal on board. Think chicken fillet or keftedakia with tomato sauce along with Greek specialities of saganaki (fried cheese that’s practically heaven), a fresh Greek salad, mama’s olives, local goat cheese, fresh bread, and a chilled glass of wine or beer. For dessert, dive into velvety Greek yogurt with sweet fruit—a treat straight from the heart of Crete.

🧭 Set Sail Like a Pro. No experience? No worries. Even if you’ve never been behind the wheel of a boat, you’ll get the chance to try your hand at sailing under the watchful eye of an experienced skipper. Whether you want to steer the boat or simply relax and enjoy the ride, this is your opportunity to learn something new and make the experience your own.

After a full day of sailing, swimming, feasting, and exploring, you’ll return to port around 5:30 PM with a heart full of memories, a camera full of photos, and a deep appreciation for Crete’s stunning coastline.

Book now, sail later—and let the wind carry you into one of the best days of your life. 🌬️✨
