Morning Cruise To SpinalongaStart your day with a luxury catamaran voyage through Mirabello Bay — crystal-clear morning water, Spinalonga's iconic silhouette, and your entire afternoon free to explore east Crete.

Standard Spinalonga excursions focus on transport to the island. This cruise is a premium catamaran experience with more sea time, comfortable sunbeds, onboard meal and drinks, water-sports equipment, and a relaxed small-group atmosphere. The route sails through Mirabello Bay with swimming stops in sheltered coves — it's a sailing experience, not just a ferry ride.

The cruise includes a freshly prepared onboard meal with Cretan ingredients, plus unlimited water, soft drinks (juices, sodas), Greek wine, and beer. Welcome drinks are served at boarding, and the crew provides snacks throughout the cruise. All refreshments are premium quality and included in your cruise price.

The catamaran departs from Agios Nikolaos port. Arrive 20 minutes before the 09:30 departure and proceed to the harbour area where crew members will greet you and guide you to the vessel. If you're unsure of the exact location, include your hotel name when you book and the crew will provide detailed directions or arrange a transfer.

Yes. The morning cruise is perfect for families. Children love the clear water, snorkeling, and paddleboarding in the sheltered bay. The catamaran has shaded areas for younger kids to rest, and the crew provides life jackets and supervision. The 5-hour duration is ideal for families who want a full experience and still have the afternoon free. Please mention children's ages when booking.

Free cancellation is available up to 48 hours before departure — no questions asked, no fees. Rescheduling to a different date is available with at least 72 hours notice, subject to availability. If you need to cancel or reschedule, contact DanEri directly and they will process your request immediately.

Bring a towel, sunscreen (SPF 50+ recommended), a hat, and swimwear. Wear comfortable clothing you don't mind getting wet. Bring your ID for port check-in. Water, snorkelling gear, SUP boards, life jackets, and sunbeds are all provided on board. Consider bringing a dry bag for phones and valuables.

The morning cruise (09:30-14:30) is perfect if you want the cleanest light, calmest water, and your entire afternoon free. The afternoon cruise (15:30-20:30) offers warmer golden light, fewer tourists at swim stops, and a more relaxed pace. Both include the same amenities: luxury catamaran, crew, meal, drinks, and water sports. Choose morning for early energy and a free afternoon, afternoon for golden-hour views.
