“Firstly, the crew were very friendly, helpful & knowledgeable (thank you Jana & Wesley) which made the experience feel personal. we were lucky to have guests who were also friendly and considerate. the food was delicious (thank you Chef Yarris) & the location by the bay was serene and peaceful. The only issue we faced was the delay coming back into harbour which was around 30 minutes but was not the crews fault, but that of the harbour police. Overall a wonderful experience.”

Review of Heraklion’s Dia Island catamaran cruise, with swimming, water toys, healthy lunch, drinks, pricing, timing, and practical tips.
“Cruise was awesome! My wife and I were on the cruise with two other families who were great. We left the harbor and went across to the island, parked there, and swam around and snorkled. They fed us delicious food and we had a really great experience. I’d recommend this trip for sure. The boat itself is awesome and very nice. The crew is also really great. Someone had complained about the abandoned restaurant we parked by, but that was pretty silly. Directly across the bay is a beautiful white and blue church.”

Review of DanEri Yachts’ Heraklion catamaran cruise to Dia Island, with a chef-made meal, open bar, water sports, and sunset sailing.
“An unforgettable luxury experience! I booked the trip as a solo traveler and it was honestly the highlight of my entire vacation in Crete. From the moment I stepped on board, I felt completely relaxed and taken care of. The crew was warm, professional, and truly went above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome. The catamaran itself was stunning—spacious, spotless, and so comfortable. We sailed smoothly to the beautiful Dia Island, where I had time to swim in crystal-clear water and soak in the peaceful surroundings. The dinner prepared by the onboard chef was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. I wasn’t expecting such high-quality dining on a boat!…”
