About this tour
Leave the hustle & bustle of Heraklion behind and slip into the serenity of Dia Island’s unspoiled beauty. This private sunset cruise is the perfect mix of adventure & relaxation, with every moment carefully planned to captivate your senses. Watch as the coastline fades into golden light while the soft sea breeze carries your worries away.
Cruise out across the incredibly clear waters and find your way to Dia’s secluded coves, where you can swim, snorkel, try your hand at paddleboarding or jump on a sea scooter & have the time of your life. Or if you’d rather just chill out? Grab a spot on the deck, soak up the last sun rays, or take a snooze on one of the comfy front-deck mattresses – sounds good, doesn’t it? 😌
Seasonal fresh fruits and refreshing drinks keep you energised, followed by a delicious Mediterranean meal paired with local wine — the perfect fuel for a magical evening at sea. 🍇🍷🍴
As the sun disappears below the horizon, watch the sky ablaze with pink, orange, and purple. The Venetian harbour appears in twilight, the water sparkles, and the Cretan stars are just starting to put on a show — the ultimate romantic finale. 🌊🌟
🌟 Reserve your sunset escape now and let Dia Island enchant you from the sea!

I thoroughly enjoyed the sailing trip with my boyfriend and sister! We chose to sail in the late afternoon so we could admire the sunset from the water – and that turned out to be a great choice. It was truly special to experience that.
The skipper and his colleague were a great team: friendly, professional, and always up for a friendly chat. At the same time, they kept a close eye on everything, which created a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere.
If I ever return to Crete, I will definitely book with them again!

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

We had a fantastic afternoon on one of the sailing ships. The crew was very friendly and experienced, we loved the ship, and everything went perfectly from an organizational perspective.

Abbiamo passato una bellissima giornata verso l’ isola di Dia.
Precisi, puntuali, simpatici e molto cordiali!
Due ore totali di navigazione e siamo rimasti ancorati vicino all’ isola per circa 4 ore; appena arrivati si può fare il bagno e utilizzare SUP o attrezzatura da snorkeling per esplorare i dintorni, senza avvicinarsi all’isola; nel mentre skipper e aiutante hanno preparato pasta con gamberetti e insalata greca, il tutto davvero molto buono!
Ottima cucina e ottimo skipper, persone affidabili che sanno fare il loro lavoro.
Grazie 🌟
