About this tour

Why follow someone else’s plan when you can be the skipper of your own unforgettable journey?

Grab the wheel, toss the schedule, ditch the crowds, and sail off into your own Agios Nikolaos adventure. Whether you’re cruising solo, with your partner, or bringing the whole crew, this is your chance to explore the secret corners of Crete like a true island insider.

🧭 No Experience? No Problem!

Before you even untie the ropes, our friendly team will give you a quick and simple driving lesson. You’ll learn everything you need to feel confident and totally in control behind the wheel.

And the best part?

📍 Every boat comes with GPS featuring pre-marked points of interest and safe anchoring spots—so you’ll always know where to go, what to see, and where to stop for a worry-free swim, snack, or sunset selfie.

🌊 Create your perfect itinerary and sail to the islands and beaches that call your name:

Agioi Pantes: Uninhabited, wild, and home to rare Kri-Kri mountain goats and a hilltop church. Keep your eyes peeled—this island is wild in all the best ways. 🏝️

Spinalonga Island: Step back in time as you cruise past this hauntingly beautiful fortress island. A former leper colony and Venetian stronghold, it’s straight out of a historical novel—literally, Victoria Hislop’s “The Island” was inspired by it! 🏰

Kolokytha Beach: Turquoise waters, untouched nature, and postcard-worthy views. Don’t miss the path to the Byzantine chapel of Agios Fokas—perfect for a scenic stretch.💎

Agriomandra Beach: Tucked away at the mouth of a gorge, this beach is a tranquil dream. Chill under tamarisk trees, fire up the barbecue, and enjoy a picnic with a view. 🌿

Along the way, feel free to stop, swim, sunbathe, snorkel, or just sit back and take it all in. This is your Cretan canvas, and you’re holding the brush.

Ride a sleek RIB boat (if you’ve got a speedboat license) or a comfy motorboat that requires zero license. Yes, really. Just hop in and off you go—no skipper, no schedule, no stress.

All vessels are fully equipped, regularly maintained, and ready for your adventure.

🌞 So pack your sunnies, rally your crew, and book your boat today—because epic stories start with “we rented a boat and…” 🎟️

Your boat is ready. All that’s missing is you conquering the waves of Crete. 🌊 🚤
