Really a great recommendation to use Sapphire Sea Tours for your next boat trip on Crete. Sapphire Sea Torus offers both boat rental with and without a skipper. We booked a boat with skipper Dimitris, who made sure we had a really great experience with plenty of snorkeling at small coves on Crete. Dimitris has extensive experience with sailing and diving/snorkeling and thus knows interesting places to experience from the sea side. Sapphire Sea Tours gets our warmest recommendation.

My family had a fantastic and truly memorable boat trip with Sapphire Sea Tours which was a highlight of our holiday in Crete. Dimitris was responsive and helpful organising the trip and Manolis was the perfect skipper on the day. He made all of us - especially our two young children - feel at home and at ease and the day was unhurried, personal and relaxing. The stops showed Crete at its best and spotting octopus is something I will never forget. 100% recommend. It was worth every penny!

Thank you Manolis for an excellent day for the family and I. Excellent stops and conversation. Thank you for rearranging due to the bad weather. We will definitely look you up again if we are back in the area!

Amazing outing with Dimitri. Took us to great spots for snorkeling while telling us about the maritime history of the bay. Would for sure recommend the sunset tour for a special evening.

The five of us had a fantastic 4 hour trip around Souda bay with skipper Stelios. We stopped at three secluded locations where we were free to snorkel and swim in crystal clear, warm water. Stelios was a charming host and went above and beyond, even diving in with us to help us spot octopus and point out different sea creatures! Trip also includes snacks and refreshments. Can’t think of many better ways to spend a morning.

It was really an amazing experience and memory in crete thanks to Dimitris and the special host, Natasha! Both were very kind. Especially, they kept checking on me if I was okay (even if I was wearing the life vest whole time :D) since they noticed that I was afraid of deep sea water. Everything was awesome and they made our great afternoon and evening ♡ I strongly recommend ppl to do this boat tour with "Sapphire sea tours"!! x1000000
