Boat 19
Some of the best days on the water happen on a smaller scale. Built for groups of up to nine, this boat offers an intimate and flexible cruising experience — easy to move around, simple to enjoy, and capable of reaching the kind of quiet, out-of-the-way spots that only a boat this size can find. No crowds, no compromise.
Menies Beach, located on the northeastern tip of Chania on the Spatha Peninsula, is a remote and unspoiled paradise known for its crystal-clear jade waters and pebbled shoreline. Accessible via a rough dirt road or by boat from Kolymbari, this secluded cove sits near the ruins of the ancient city of Diktynna and its temple to the goddess Artemis — making it as historically fascinating as it is naturally beautiful.
Sfakos Beach is one of Chania’s most secluded and extraordinary coastal spots, nestled within a small canyon on the Rodopou Peninsula. This tiny beach — only about 12 metres wide — is characterised by smooth marble stones, crystal-clear waters fed by natural freshwater springs, and sheer enclosing cliffs that create an atmosphere of remarkable intimacy. It is one of those rare places that seems almost impossible until you are standing in it.
Kolymbari is a charming seaside village on the northwest coast of Crete, about 25 km from Chania. Known for its tranquil harbour, fresh seafood tavernas, and stunning coastal scenery, it is the perfect departure point for boat trips exploring the region's most spectacular hidden coves and beaches. With a blend of ancient history, unspoiled nature, and crystal-clear waters, Kolymbari offers an authentic Cretan experience well away from the island's busiest tourist spots.
A remote, boat-only bay enclosed by towering cliffs on the southern coast, where turquoise water of exceptional clarity fills a natural amphitheatre of limestone rock.
The island of Agii Theodori, also known as Thodorou, is a small uninhabited islet nestled just off the coast of Chania, Crete. A protected nature reserve and home to the rare Cretan wild goat, the Kri-Kri, it combines breathtaking natural scenery with centuries of history — from Venetian fortresses to pristine turquoise waters that draw snorkelers and boat trippers from across the island.

Our half-day boat trip from Chania was absolutely perfect—the most beautiful escape from the Caribbean I could have imagined! The crystal-clear water between Choironisia and Sfako beach was unreal, and snorkeling off the boat allowed us to see some incredible marine life. From the amazing scenery to the phenomenal crew who kept us laughing, every moment was pure Greek paradise. We loved every minute, especially the delicious lunch, and I can't wait to sail back to Theodorou next time!
