Trips are available in two durations: a 2-hour route and a 3-hour route, both departing from Platanias Port at times arranged to suit customer preference.
Safety and transparency are priorities: boats are maintained to seaworthy standards, life jackets are provided for all passengers, and skippers follow local maritime regulations. Booking information, departure location, and trip details are clearly communicated at reservation to avoid surprises and help visitors plan their day in Chania.
