5.00We had an amazing day on the boat with Captain George and the crew. We lucked out with calm seas and 80F (26C) weather in early May. Water was a little chilly 65F (18C) but it was good for a quick dip. The lunch was excellent and we were offered drinks regularly. The catamaran was very clean and had many place to relax. Overall would definitely book this again!

5.00Our sunset yacht tour with Cyma Sails was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Crete! We went as a group of girls looking for a relaxing yet special evening — and it turned out to be even better than we imagined. From the moment we stepped aboard, the crew made us feel completely at ease. The yacht was spotless, beautifully maintained, and stocked with everything we needed. The service was impeccable — attentive, friendly, and professional. The highlight of the evening was the private dinner prepared by the onboard chef. Every dish was fresh, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious — a perfect blend of local Cretan flavors and elegant presentation. Cyma Sails created an experience that felt personal, luxurious, and full of heart. If you’re looking for a unique and unforgettable way to enjoy Crete, I can’t recommend this yacht tour enough — especially for a group of friends who want to celebrate life and beauty at sea. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 — We’ll definitely be back!
Very nice day

5.0010/10 experience. The crew were friendly, the boat was quality, the food not a personal favourite but still really nice and enjoyable, and the destination was breathtaking. The isle of Dias offering crystal clear shores. Activities such as snorkelling and paddle boarding were included. We had lots of time to swim and enjoy the area. The water was fresh but not too cold. Would do this experience again but maybe opt for the sunset option instead. 100% recommend
Would highly recommend!

5.00Lovely trip out with George and the crew. Choppy sailing out but skippered well! Lush sea bass and salads served for lunch and nothing was any trouble. Nothing on the island but spent the time snorkeling and swimming in the bay. Catamaran was well equipped, very comfortable and plenty of space for all on board. Good value thoroughly recommend!
