About this tour
Want a day on the sea that feels like a dream? Join us on a sailing experience through Mirabello Gulf, one of Crete’s most beautiful coastlines. This is not just another boat trip – it’s a small-group escape into a world of secret coves, crystal-clear water, and Mediterranean flavours that taste like summer.
🛥️ Departing from the marina of Agios Nikolaos, the cruise begins with a breeze and a smile. After a quick safety briefing, stretch out on deck and enjoy the panoramic views of the dramatic coastline as the yacht glides through the blue waters of the Cretan Sea.
🌴 About an hour in, the boat anchors at Glaronisi or Kolokytha Bay – a secluded island spot where the water shimmers turquoise and the crowds are nowhere to be seen. Dive in, grab a snorkel or try stand-up paddle boarding (or just float like royalty – we’re not judging).
🍽️ Back on board, it’s time to indulge. The onboard menu starts with Cretan appetizers drizzled with local olive oil, followed by a Greek salad. For the main course, choose between shrimp linguini or mushroom risotto (perfect for vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free guests). Top it all off with a platter of Mediterranean and tropical fruit, beautifully prepared and served with a view.
🏝️ After lunch, sail past Spinalonga Island. From the water, this once-Venetian fortress looks like a postcard. Take a few photos or just take it in – the view from the sea is breathtaking.
As the afternoon winds down, the boat heads back to Agios Nikolaos, leaving you sun-kissed, well-fed, and completely relaxed.
📅 Perfect for couples, friends and anyone who wants beauty, flavour, and a bit of sea breeze magic. Join us 🛥️
