About this tour

Ready to trade the crowded beaches for crystal waters, secret caves, and the kind of peace that only the sea can offer? This private cruise from Kolymvari is your golden ticket to Crete’s wild northern coast — untouched, unspoiled, far from the tourist trail, and all yours to explore.

With a warm and experienced captain at the helm and a fully equipped boat beneath your feet, you’ll cruise along the stunning Rodopou Peninsula — a rugged stretch of coastline also known as Spatha, full of dramatic cliffs, hidden coves, and untouched natural gems. 🛥️🌞

🌊 First stop: the serene Menies Beach, where deep blue waters and pebbled shores invite you for a refreshing swim under the Cretan sun.

Then it’s on to the otherworldly Limnionari Cave, and next to Chironisia, where snorkeling becomes a magical underwater treasure hunt. Dive into colorful waters and discover the perfect rocky seabed. 🐠🤿

🏝️ Still craving seclusion? Stop at Sfakos Beach, a boat-only beauty where silence and serenity are the main attraction. Whether you’re diving in or just floating along the surface, the colors and clarity of the water are unforgettable.

Throughout your journey, you’ll stay refreshed with a selection of drinks and light bites on board. 🍹 Sip a soft drink or a cold beer as you cruise, and enjoy traditional Cretan snacks and fresh fruits that bring a taste of the island’s flavors right to your fingertips.🍇👌

Want to level up your cruise? Ask us about onboard BBQs, fishing guides, drone footage, or even your own personal photographer. 🎣📸🔥

By the time you return to Kolymvari, you’ll be sun-kissed, soul-fed, and full of stories worth telling.

    Thank you, SeaExcursions ; and your crew!
    Lots of memories, including: exhilarating rides between locations visited, snorkeling above and down to WW2 wreck of a German plane, sandwiches and drinks in a beautiful cove, watching the red sun set into the sea, and the incredibly helpful and kind captain Dimos (nothing was too much trouble, and he is one of those rare people you stumble across in busy tourist spots who don’t just do a job for the money – he genuinely enjoys giving others pleasure).

    Absolute 5-star from start to finish. We decided to go on a private sunset cruise out of Chaniá Harbour in June, and it was honestly worth every penny.

    We went on a spearfishing expedition, and it was one of the best experiences I’ve had in my life. 10/10 recommend Seaze The Day if you want to try spearfishing for your first time!

    We had a fantastic day out at sea with SEAze The Day! It was our honeymoon and we wanted something different than just going to the beach.

    Tomamos un tour con Panos para experimentar el atardecer desde el mar mediterraneo al noroeste de Chania y fue mucho mejor de lo que esperábamos.

    We were a family of 5, ages 11 to 80, and went with Marcos on a half-day hidden beaches and caves tour. The trip far exceeded our expectations.
