Review of Hersonissos sunset catamaran cruise with swimming, snacks, drinks, SUP, snorkeling, and golden-hour views from Crete.

“Chasing sunsets is always nice. However, doing so with a sea-view from catamaran is another level. It was a great experience, filled with fun, photos & laughter. Don’t hesitate to book any longer. It is worth it. Big thanks to the crew who made us feel light and amused the whole time. The sunset was indeed gorgeous, enhanced by emotional music, it was simply magical. Thank you for the experience!”

At first, everyone was a bit shy, but after we all had a swim, we started chatting and we all had a great time, we met some lovely people, and Kosta and Alex, our crew, were really chatty and friendly guys. This was our favourite activity, thanks so much for a great experience!”

The crew did not stop working to ensure that everyone had everything that they needed, constantly coming back to ask if people needed more drinks or something to eat etc. A fantastic experience from start to finish!”
