Two Ways to Experience Rethymno from the Sea

Set sail from Marina Port in Rethymno and discover two beautiful sides of the Cretan coast — the crystal-clear waters of Omprosgialos (Georgioupolis Bay) on our Premium Cruise and the dramatic coastline and caves of Scaleta on our Sunset Cruise.

Spend your time swimming, snorkelling and exploring the sea by SUP, or simply stretch out on deck and enjoy the journey. Throughout the cruise, our crew keeps the table beautifully served — from morning espresso and fresh pastries to cheese and cold-cut platters, soft drinks, white wine, beer, a generous lunch at the swimming stop, fresh Cretan fruit and dessert.

On the Premium Cruise, enjoy a generous selection of Cretan-inspired dishes, including BBQ chicken, prawns, pastitsio, fresh salads, vegetables and cherry tomatoes with Cretan cheese. On the Sunset Cruise, the experience takes a lighter evening turn with sushi, cheese and cold cuts, fresh fruit and drinks.

Two different routes, two different moods — both created for one thing: a beautiful, carefree day or evening on the Cretan sea.

FAQ

Questions Guests Commonly Ask Before Booking

These questions help with the bigger booking choice before you pick a specific sailing.

Not for long. This page helps Rethymno-area guests orient themselves, but if Bali Bay is the real route you want, the Panormo collection is the better next click.

Usually the premium cruise for a full day or the Rethymno sunset cruise for a shorter evening plan, depending on how much of the day you want to spend on the water.

Because many Rethymno-area guests make that exact comparison in real life. A nearby alternative is more helpful when it reflects how people actually choose.

Start with the port that keeps your day and transfers simplest unless a specific route is the main reason you are booking. If the choice is still close, use the linked guide and nearby cruise hubs before committing.

Choose the longer cruise when the sailing is one of the headline experiences of your trip. Choose the shorter format when you want premium time on the water without shaping the whole day around it.
