FAQs

During the peak season (June to September), booking several weeks in advance is highly recommended, especially for private charters and luxury yachts. Popular boats and destinations such as Balos Lagoon and Gramvousa often sell out well before the travel date.

Guest safety is always the top priority. If weather conditions are unsuitable for the planned trip, the operator may offer an alternative route, reschedule the excursion, or provide a refund according to the cancellation policy of the specific boat trip.

Crete offers access to some of the island's most spectacular coastal destinations, including Balos Lagoon, Gramvousa Island, Menies Beach, Thodorou Island, Seitan Limania, Elafonissi, Loutro, Marmara Beach, Agia Roumeli, and many secluded bays that are only accessible by sea.

All boat trips include a professional skipper, fuel for the planned itinerary, safety equipment, and insurance. Most cruises also include meals, drinks, snorkeling equipment, and SUP boards, allowing you to enjoy a comfortable and relaxing day at sea. Specific inclusions are listed on each boat trip page.

For the most enjoyable experience, we recommend bringing swimwear, a towel, sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and a light jacket for the return journey. Don't forget your camera to capture Crete's stunning coastline, crystal-clear waters, and hidden beaches. If meals and drinks are not included in your trip, you may also wish to bring snacks and water.

Kalyves Sunset Catamaran Trip was hands down the highlight of our entire Crete vacation; the boat journey itself was stunning, cruising past dramatic cliffs and into the most unbelievably turquoise sea. The sunset view from the catamaran was absolutely breathtaking, and snorkeling at the hidden beach spots was pure bliss. Beyond the incredible scenery, the crew made us feel like family, and the fresh Greek lunch was the perfect end to a perfect day. I cannot recommend this experience enough—it was truly magic from start to finish!

Wow, what an absolutely magical day on the Kalyves Sunset Catamaran Trip!

We spent the afternoon snorkeling in some amazing spots, and the final stop at the beach with that incredible sunset view was unforgettable. Coupled with the delicious Greek lunch and the perfect rhythm of the catamaran, it was the ultimate Greek experience and I'm already planning my return.

The Kalyves Sunset Catamaran Trip was genuinely breathtaking; I felt like I spent the entire afternoon floating in an impossible shade of turquoise I’ve only ever seen in magazines. The crew was absolutely fantastic, making us feel like family, and we spent hours snorkeling in crystal-clear waters while enjoying stunning views of the Cretan coastline. We even stumbled upon a perfect little beach for sunset, and that fresh Greek lunch was the ideal end to a flawless day on the water. We can't wait to do it again!
