About this tour
🌊 Step aboard the grandest and most luxurious sailing yacht in Crete and set sail toward two of the island’s most awe-inspiring treasures—Gramvousa Island and the iconic Balos Lagoon. This isn’t just a cruise—it’s a full-day indulgence in nature, comfort, and adventure that will leave your heart full and your camera roll bursting.
🛥️ Your journey begins at the Port of Kissamos, where our warm and professional crew will greet you with a smile, a welcome drink, and a short safety briefing. Get comfortable on the yacht’s spacious sunbeds or relax in the shaded cockpit, all while soaking in the incredible views of the Gramvousa Cape coastline. Thanks to the yacht’s impressive size and weight, your ride will be smooth and relaxing—perfect even for first-time sailors.
🏝️ After about 1–1.5 hours of sailing, you’ll reach the wild beauty of Gramvousa Island, where you’ll have 1.5 to 2 hours to explore. Dive into the crystal waters right from the yacht or take the tender boat ashore to discover hidden coves and underwater treasures, including the famous shipwreck nearby. Whether you’re a history buff or a sun-seeker, this island has something special for you.
🍽️ Back on board, our crew will serve a freshly prepared Mediterranean feast, made with the finest local ingredients. Pile your plate with Greek flavors from our buffet and sip on unlimited drinks—from wine and beer to soft drinks and refreshing iced tea. Every bite tastes even better with that unbeatable view.
🌈 Then it’s off to the crown jewel of Crete—Balos Lagoon. Picture this: shallow turquoise waters, sugary white sand, and nothing but wide-open sky. It’s a place so magical it looks like it belongs in a dream. You’ll have up to 2 hours to swim, sunbathe, or simply float the day away. Whether you reach the beach by tender or dive straight in from the deck is up to you.
🤿 Want to add a little adventure? Snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding gear is available—just ask the captain! Conditions permitting, you’ll have everything you need for some light, splashy fun in the clearest waters imaginable.
🌅 As your unforgettable day winds down, sail back to port with the glow of the sun on the horizon and the joy of a perfect adventure in your soul. Our crew will assist with disembarkation and send you off with a warm farewell—and maybe a hint to come back again soon 😉
Don’t miss your chance to cruise in true Cretan style—book now and make memories that sail with you forever! 🛥️🍷🏝️
