About this tour

Get ready to set sail for an amazing half-day private cruise through the sparkling treasures of West Crete. This journey takes you to some of the island’s most famous and breathtaking sea destinations — no crowds, no stress, just pure bliss. 🌊☀

First stop: Agios Sozon, a peaceful chapel in the middle of wild nature. The silence, the sea and the sacred surroundings will set the tone for the day. Then it’s off to Gramvousa Crete’s pirate island, where hidden stories and rugged beauty await.⛰

And of course, no cruise would be complete without a dip in the postcard-perfect Balos Lagoon. With its turquoise waters, white sand, and exotic vibes, Balos is more than a beach — it’s a mood. Perfect for swimming, relaxing, and making everyone on your social media jealous. 🐚📸

Throughout the day, you’ll enjoy a light lunch, beer, wine, soft drinks, and make the most of the included snorkeling gear to explore the underwater world. Morning or early afternoon departure? Your choice. Either way, it’s 4 hours in paradise with your favorite people.

Kostas was very easy to arrange out day with, Alex was our skipper who was very friendly and took us to some amazing private beaches in addition to the main popular ones. Boat was great as was lunch/drinks provided. Would definitely recommend, great value for money and a lovely business to support ☺️

    We picked the 5-hour Balos private boat tour departing at 1500. We had 4 of us. We are so glad we chose SeaExcursions.
