Explore CruisesMore Than a Boat — It's Your Private Island for the Day
When you step aboard a DanEri catamaran, you're not booking transport — you're claiming your own floating sanctuary. Teak decks warm under bare feet, sails catch the Cretan breeze, and the only schedule is the one the sea sets for you.
Every yacht in our fleet is a modern, French-built catamaran by Lagoon or Bali — chosen for their unmatched stability, spacious living, and the kind of effortless sailing that lets you forget the world for a day.
We hand-pick every boat and train every crew so that your only job on board is to breathe, swim, eat — and wish the day would never end.
The West Crete Fleet
Chania, Kissamos & Souda — where towering sea cliffs plunge into turquoise lagoons and every sail toward Balos reveals a coastline that photographs can't do justice.

Discover Crete by Sea
From legendary lagoons to secret southern beaches, our fleet unlocks the coastline that most visitors never see.
The DanEri Difference
We don't just offer boat trips — we operate Crete's largest private catamaran fleet. 14+ luxury sailing yachts stationed across 11+ ports, every one a modern French-built catamaran from Lagoon or Bali, the two most respected names in cruising. No diesel speedboats. No overcrowded party boats. Just pure, elegant sailing.
Every Coastline Tells a Story
Crete stretches over 1,000 km of coastline — and no two stretches feel the same. In the west, sheer cliffs plunge into turquoise lagoons. The north unfolds with golden sand and Venetian harbour towns. Eastward, Spinalonga guards crystal bays. And the wild south? That's Greece's best-kept secret, where mountains meet the Libyan Sea and time stands still.
More Than Just a Boat Trip
Every DanEri cruise comes with a professional captain and crew, freshly prepared meals using local Cretan ingredients, unlimited drinks, and every water toy you can imagine. Our catamarans are chosen for their unmatched stability and spacious living areas — perfect for families, couples, and groups who want a premium day without the tourist crowds.
