Coastal Boat Adventures with Notosmare in Chania

Located on the northwest coast of Crete, the region around Chania offers some of Greece’s most compelling coastal scenery, rich with rugged cliffs, turquoise waters, and secret shorelines. Notosmare Marine Adventures invites travelers to experience this undeniable allure aboard the Saxdor 320 GTO, a nimble, modern powerboat designed for comfort and speed. The vessel’s capacity of up to nine passengers makes it ideal for intimate groups eager to uncover coastal gems beyond the well-trodden tourist paths.

The Saxdor 320’s spacious cabin and onboard toilet set it apart from typical day boats, providing a level of convenience that encourages extended day trips. The highlight of the itinerary is the full-day ride around Gavdos, the southernmost Greek island, where hidden beaches and crystalline coves wait quietly beyond Crete’s main shores. The sharp limestone cliffs and sparse, rocky terrain of Gavdos create a dramatic backdrop for swimming and sunbathing in almost untouched settings.

Notosmare Marine Adventures stands out in the marine tourism scene of Crete for focusing on authentic, less-commercialized landscapes, giving visitors access to remote spots inaccessible by larger ferries. The company’s local roots mean guides can share insights into the island’s natural and cultural history, such as its role in maritime navigation and isolated community life. This connection to place enhances the journey, turning a boat ride into an immersive coastal experience.

Participants should come prepared to bring their own fuel, highlighting the importance of planning for a full day on the water. Crete’s Mediterranean climate allows for pleasant conditions most of the year, but the boat’s modern design means comfort regardless of mild sea breezes. Whether it’s the thrill of the open sea or the calm of hidden coves, Notosmare and its Saxdor 320 provide a unique maritime window into the rugged and captivating edges of Chania and its neighboring islands.
