Tour Overview
This full day catamaran cruise is designed for guests who want to spend most of the day at sea with comfortable facilities, good food, and plenty of time for water activities. After pickup from selected areas or meeting directly at Rethymno Port, you will step on board a spacious catamaran where the crew will welcome you with espresso, tea, detox water, and a protein shake, plus a light healthy brunch to start your morning.
Once everyone is settled, the catamaran will leave the port and cruise along the dramatic coastline toward Georgioupoli Bay or Skaleta, depending on weather conditions. As you travel, you can relax on sunbeds or in the shaded lounge area, listen to soft music, and watch the Cretan coast pass by while you enjoy drinks from the open bar.
At the selected bay, 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 freshly prepared Mediterranean lunch awaits, made with organic ingredients from local Cretan farms and designed by a professional nutritionist. After eating and more time in the water or on deck, you will cruise back toward Rethymno Port.
