Catamaran Day from Sfakia (Chania): Loutro, Sweet Waters, Marmara
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
Your adventure begins in Chania, where we pick you up in a comfortable van for a scenic 90-minute drive through the White Mountains. As the road twists past gorges, olive groves, and wide sea views, you’ll feel the south coast of Crete calling.
In Sfakia, you step onto our semi-private catamaran (up to 22 people) and sail to three unforgettable spots:
• Sweet Water Beach ( Glyka Nera) – swim where cool springs rise beneath clear, blue water and tall cliffs frame the shore
• Loutro – a quiet seaside village with no cars, just white houses & cafés
• Marmara – relax in turquoise water beside marble rocks and, if you wish, enjoy lunch at a small taverna perched above the bay
The day is all about sun, salt, and the easy rhythm of the sea — no rush, only beautiful places.
Includes transfer from Chania to Sfakia and back. Groups of 8+ please contact us.
Please note: This tour requires a minimum of 3 guests to operate.
Come sail the wild south of Crete and let the sea set the pace.

Magical catamaran tour with IMable Travel — worth every moment!

5.00What an amazing day! IMable Travel took care of everything — from the scenic drive through the mountains to the moment we stepped onto the catamaran, it all felt effortless. The water at Glyka Nera and Marmara was unreal — so clear and refreshing, like swimming in a dream. We loved stopping in Loutro, walking through the quiet little village, and having lunch right above the sea. Everything was peaceful, beautiful, and perfectly planned. Thank you, Maria — this day will stay with us for a long time.
So many beaches!

5.00What a great day! Our first time on a Catamaran! We used IMable Travel to help us coordinate the day. She picked us up from our hotel in Platania area which was super convenient. She brought so many treats and extra supplies to make sure we had a great day! Thank goodness she even had towels because we totally forgot ours in the lobby of the hotel. Along the way she was able to pull over and let us take some really cool photos during the drive. Would highly recommend!
Well Planned VIP Experience

5.00My friends and I booked a tour with Maria and the day turned out to be unforgettable. She greeted us with water bottles, snacks and extra towels for our adventures. She was incredibly well prepared. We asked for an upgrade, so she coordinated a private water taxi for us. This way, we were able to make the most of our day and have a bit more privacy. We saw so many beaches and had some great food, per her recommendations. We felt very well taken care of during every part of our excursion.
