The Best Catamaran Cruises in Crete

  Amazing experience - We were privileged enough to take this cruise in August 2025. It was such an amazing experience! The crew were phenomenal and the food was superb. Thank... read more you so much to all of the crew on board. This experience was one for the books, forever in my memory bank for sure.

  Panormos Boat Trip  - We actually ended up on a trip from Panormos rather than Rethymno as our trip was cancelled due to the weather. But they contacted us to reorganise quickly, instructions very... read more clear and a great day out. Same itinerary (I think) as the Rethymno boat. Stunning coastline and Bali a lovely bay to stop in. Plenty of time to snorkel, swim or just sun bathe and drink beer! Well looked after throughout and superb lunch with fresh ingredients!

  Great experience  - Another good experience with DanEri Yachts after one in Chania. Same great catamaran, clean and modern with plenty of space to enjoy on deks. Staff very friendly and they've done... read more everything to make our experience very pleasant. Just the weather doesn't helped too much, but is nobody's fault. We'll definitely use this company again when we'll see them around on future holidays.

  Fabulous day out on a beautiful catamaran!!  - We sailed from Kolymbari to Monster Island on 01 October. Never seen a calmer sea and gorgeous blue skies. The crew were welcoming - great explanation of the trip and... read more off we went with drinks and snacks first thing at 9:30am! We were a group of 6 friends with just another 10 people. Lovely sailing on a lovely cartamaran. Clean and spacious. Swim stop was fun and felt very safe. Lunch was a triumph on board and they catered for one of our group who is dairy intolerant and gluten free too! All very impressive. We danced all the way back to port under the sun drinking the trip out of wine! All 3 crew was helpful and friendly. Highly recommend and would go again. Thanks for such a fab day!!

  An unforgettable experience!  - An unforgettable experience!
This was truly a wonderful trip. The catamaran was absolutely stunning — spacious, luxurious, and genuinely modern. From the very first moment, the crew stood out for... read more their friendliness, attentiveness, and warm attitude.
Although there were quite a few guests on board, the yacht is so large and comfortable that it never felt crowded. On the contrary — I ended up meeting many lovely people and having great conversations, which made the experience even better.
The food deserves a special mention!
Right from the welcome, we were treated to coffee, tea, and a huge variety of fresh pastries, cakes, and savory pies — there was so much I can’t even list it all. And it didn’t stop there — food was served throughout the entire day, and there was a lot of it. You definitely won’t go hungry! There were also various snacks — cheeses, salami, fruit — and an open bar available all day long.
First stop: Balos Lagoon.
This place is pure magic. The morning sun shining over the crystal-clear turquoise waters was simply breathtaking. We didn’t dock directly on the beach, but the crew thoughtfully transported everyone via a small speedboat. The staff were so kind and helpful — they even recommended I hike up the hill to the small church for the best panoramic views. I’m so glad I did — the view was spectacular, and our catamaran looked absolutely beautiful from above.
What I really appreciated was the timing — we were among the first boats to arrive at Balos, so we had the chance to enjoy the peaceful beauty of the place before the crowds started to arrive. As we were leaving, many more boats were just pulling in, and the beach was getting busy.
Second stop: Gramvousa Island.
Again, everything was well-organized. We were taken to the shore by speedboat while lunch was being served on board — and what a lunch! The amount and variety of food was impressive, and everything was truly delicious. It’s clear that the company values quality — not just in service, but in the food as well.
Snorkeling gear, SUP boards, life jackets, masks, and fins were all available for guests — included in the price.
One thing that really stood out was how engaged the crew was — they didn’t just serve food and drinks, they also shared interesting information about each destination and gave personal recommendations. It felt like they genuinely cared about making our day special.
I wholeheartedly recommend this cruise, this company, and especially this yacht!
I didn’t see a more beautiful catamaran anywhere around — it was truly a luxury experience from start to finish, and one I’d happily do again!

  Excellent - What an incredible day! The trip had to be postponed beause of winds, and even on the day I went it was rather windy and cooler than I'd like, but... read more that doesn't negate the experience I had. It was a rather small group on board, and although one group of Australians accounted for 95% of the boat, they were welcoming and truly fun and by the end the entire boat was like a little family for the day. So much fun. The food was OUTSTANDING, and the service was impecable. The weather could have been better, but aside from that it was all fantastic. AND the benefit of doing this tour is that we arrived before the major boats arrived in both stops so we were able to experince both Balos and Gramvousa with almost no one else around. Balos is honestly quite interesting, but so shallow and not my favourite, but I can absolutely see why people love it. Overall though, and excellent day!

  Do it! Best day of our trip to Chania  - Absolutely fantastic! 100% worth the money. The ship is high-end, the crew is great. You get an early start (8am) but that gets you to Balos before the... read more big ferries arrive with their crowds of hundreds! of people. Tip: you need water shoes or flipflops for Balos, and if you have a waterproof bag, bring it.

  Relaxation at its best!  - Beautiful catamaran! The staff were friendly and the food was delicious. We stopped at two spots to swim. A wonderfully relaxing excursion.
