Tour Overview
This luxury sunset catamaran cruise is designed for guests who want to combine comfortable sailing, water activities, and memorable views of Chania from the sea. After pickup from selected areas or meeting directly at the Old Venetian Harbour, you will step on board a spacious catamaran where the crew will welcome you with a glass of Prosecco and light Mediterranean snacks.
Once everyone is settled, the catamaran will leave the historic harbor and cruise along the coast toward Agioi Theodoroi, a small protected island known for its rugged cliffs and clear water. As you travel, you can relax on sunbeds or in the shaded lounge area, listen to soft music, and watch Chania and the Cretan coastline pass by.
Near Agioi Theodoroi, the catamaran will anchor so you can enter the water for swimming, snorkeling, or trying stand up paddleboarding. Equipment is available on board, and the crew can help you get started if you are new to these activities. Back on deck, a selection of sushi rolls is served, followed by fresh fruit, while the open bar keeps drinks flowing. As the afternoon turns to evening, you will watch the sun set over the Mediterranean before the catamaran returns to Chania Old Port.
