A private 4–6 hour boat cruise from Chania that explores Seitan Limania’s narrow fjord, Katholiko’s turquoise bay, Marathi coves and the famous Stavros beach. Ideal for swimmers and small groups seeking coastal caves, cliff jumps and clear-water snorkel stops.

The boat slips away from Chania’s harbor and the city’s stone roofs shrink behind you as the sea immediately begins to shape the day: a warm wind pushes the bow, cliffs lean over narrow inlets, and the water dares you to dive in.

Phones and wallets can get wet during transfers to shore or when waves splash the deck.
