What people are saying about Rethymno

I highly recommended this trip to everyone :) Alex and the team are super nice! I got sea sick during the trip and Alex has taken good care of me, providing me motion sick medicine and keep checking whether I got better. They have also prepared various snack on boat, e.g. cheese plate with ham, fruits, cookies, chicken nuggets and also wine. You could really see that they spent effort in each detail. They also helped us taking many good pictures. I really enjoyed the trip. And again, 5 out 5 stars ⭐️

This is an excellent activity that I recommend to anyone and I plan to do again in future. I, my family and friends had a truly wonderful, quality and memorable time. The instructors were lovely and customer focused. The snacks were very tasty. We enjoyed the drinks and music. Well done and keep it up.

Amazing experience - the perfect end to our stay in Crete! Just take note that the time changes through the seasons - our tickets said 8pm but the boat set sail at 6.30pm.

Beautiful and casual sunset cruise. There is even a free welcome drink of your choice (beer or soft drink). Tip: sit on the left side for a perfect view of the sunset.

Beautiful ship, very nice crew and great weather. What more do you want!
