What people are saying about Agia Marina, Crete

Panos (captain) and George (Skipper) were great. They picked us up right in the Chania harbor. They then sailed is out to one near by island where we laid anchor and got out and swam with snorkels and noodles. Then they brought out snacks and refreshments before getting underway. The views of Crete and the surrounding islands were great from the boat. George and Panos made this the perfect evening sail for my Wife and myself on our honeymoon.

Panos and George were absolutely wonderful! They advised us the day we were going might be rocky but we told them we would like to go anyway. They made us feel very safe, taught us a lot about sailing and truly navigated the water like pros. We had great conversation and food. We’ll be back to visit them again. Katy & Mike
