Join us for a semi-private morning cruise from Heraklion aboard a sleek, modern catamaran. Your adventure begins with a warm welcome from our crew. As we sail to Dia Island, relax on sunbeds, sip detox water or a protein smoothie, and enjoy a light, fresh brunch while taking in the peaceful sea views.
At Dia Island, dive into fun with water toys — inflatable slide, sea scooter, water tube, kayak, and stand-up paddleboards (SUPs). Float on our pink flamingo or glide across the waves — the sea is your playground.
Back on board, enjoy a healthy Cretan lunch designed by a nutritionist, made from fresh, organic local ingredients. Seasonal Mediterranean dishes include seafood, vegetarian, and simple fresh options; children’s meals are available on request. Pair your meal with Greek wine or beer.
After lunch, relax on deck or swim again in the warm Cretan waters. As we sail back to Heraklion, feel refreshed, peaceful, and full of energy — the perfect end to a morning at sea.

5.00Really great trip, was really easy to book and communication prior to the trip was excellent. We were met at the meeting point by the Captain and was taken direct to the Catamaran to meet the other guests. The whole team were very friendly and managed a good balance of professionalism and lots of fun. It was quite a breezy day so the trip over to Dia island was quite choppy but that just added to the fun. Once we arrived there are a couple of paddle boards, inflatable toys, snorkeling equipment and a kayak that guests can use. Drinks were available all through the trip and we have an amazing lunch cooked for us by the chef and even catered for the various dietary requirements onboard. Overall a wonderful trip with a lovely group of strangers with a great team.
The crew were excellent....
