Set sail from the charming historic harbor of Chania on Crete’s northwestern shore, where the Axopar 37 Cross Cabin promises an exhilarating blend of speed, comfort, and style. Launched in 2022, this sleek cabin cruiser redefines the standard for day trips and sunset cruises along one of Greece’s most captivating coastlines. Designed to effortlessly combine performance with luxury, the boat is an ideal choice for small groups or families who want to explore the crystalline waters of the Mediterranean in both comfort and style.
The Axopar 37 Cross Cabin features a spacious interior capable of comfortably seating up to five guests in a climate-protected cabin — a welcome refuge from the summer sun or coastal winds. Outside, an airy deck with seating for four invites passengers to soak in panoramic views of the Cretan coast, from rugged cliffs to serene coves dotted with turquoise bays. While the boat's maximum capacity extends to nine, the setup works best for parties of seven, providing plenty of room to relax and socialize without feeling crowded.
What makes this experience truly stand out is the thoughtful balance of modern amenities and natural splendor. Whether you’re cruising during the brilliant daylight hours or chasing the sun dipping below the horizon, you’ll enjoy a smooth, safe ride powered by capable engines that keep pace with the adventurous spirit of Crete’s waves.
Included in your outing are soft drinks, beers, and a bottle of wine per every four guests, along with a delicious onboard lunch — perfect for savoring as you navigate the coast. The journey can last either 4.5 or 8 hours, allowing you to tailor your day from a casual afternoon excursion to a full-day exploration of secluded beaches and hidden coves accessible only by sea.
This floating haven launches directly from Chania Old Port, itself a fascinating destination with a rich Venetian and Ottoman history, providing a cultural backdrop to your marine adventure. The boat’s newness and design reflect a cutting-edge approach to coastal cruising that honors the natural beauty and historical significance of Crete’s maritime landscape.
Whether you’re a local or a visitor seeking a premium waterborne experience, the Axopar 37 Cross Cabin offers a rare combination of adventure and indulgence on Greece’s southern seas. It’s a standout choice for anyone eager to explore Crete’s coastline beyond the crowded beaches, with the freedom to chart your own course beneath clear blue skies.
