About this tour
Sail away from Heraklion and straight into paradise with a private cruise to the unspoiled island of Dia — a Natura 2000 protected gem wrapped in myth, sunshine, and crystal-clear waters. 🏝️✨
From the moment you step aboard and meet your friendly crew, you’ll know you’re in for something special with all the comfort you need for a day of pure bliss.
As you glide across the sea, you’ll hear the legend of Zeus and the creation of Dia, adding a touch of magic to your adventure. ⚡ Once you arrive on the island’s calm, turquoise bays, it’s playtime — swim, snorkel, paddleboard, try the sea scooter, or just float around without a worry in the world.
Want a slower vibe? No problem. Stretch out on the sun-drenched front deck, sip something refreshing, and let the breeze handle the rest. 😎🌞
Midday, enjoy fresh seasonal fruits, cool soft drinks, and later a full Mediterranean meal with local wine that smells like summer in a glass. 🍇🍷
By the end of the cruise, you’ll sail back to Heraklion feeling relaxed, glowing, and half-convinced you just lived a Greek island dream.
✨ Ready to make Dia your own private paradise? Book now and treat yourself to the sea day you truly deserve!

Took a private boat trip to Dia Island, had the best experience, the crew went above and beyond to help me propose to my partner, we was served a delicious linguine meal, with fresh fruits & champagne, anchored up to enjoy the lovely coves of Dia Island and sailed for the sunset 10/10, would highly recommend. Thanks again guys

Thank you so much for the trip. We had a wonderful experience with the crew, who was very attentive and kind throughout the trip. We were pleased with the selection of seafood pasta, fruits, and drinks. They also provided a speaker for us to play music to and were very accommodating throughout the experience!
