★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 90 reviews · from $158

Review of Chania’s five-hour catamaran cruise from Kolymvari, with swimming, snorkeling, SUP, seafood lunch, drinks, and family-friendly extras.

“The perfect way to spend a few relaxing hours. Hospitable and friendly crew, delicious food, plenty of time to relax and swim/snorkel/paddleboard, and the boat was not over-filled with folks so we all had space to spread out and relax in the different comfortable seating areas onboard. The music onboard provided great ambiance (not too loud; like a chill day out with old friends), and the crew clearly made an effort to provide a great experience for all those who joined. If you're looking for a pleasant and memorable morning/evening out on the water, I would highly recommend sailing with these lovely people.Read more”
