    Excellent day and experience! The boat was is very good conditions and very well maintained. Ready to depart at the time agreed. We had Vasilis and Konstantino (the owner and the kipper) together on the cruise and besides being very experienced sailors, they both were very gentle and easygoing. Our group was at easy and we had an excellent time together. No need to mention how wonderful the arrival at Gramvoussa and Balos was. The best day of our holidays in Creete. Thanks to the crew.

    Fabuleux...Gravmoussa et baie de Balos à bord de ce voilier, c'est l'accès optimal . La ballade et le plaisir d'être à bord offre un bien-être exceptionnel. Et l'accueil est à la fois simple et chaleureux. Nous avons eu la chance d'avoir Iléas et Hector comme skipper...génial, extraordinaire..2 très belles personnes. Quant au repas...délicieux !!! Merci à la maman d'Iléas pour ses pâtes en sauce aux gambas d'ailleurs, en plus de la salade crétoise d'Iléas...ils peuvent ouvrir un restaurant, sans problème.. Hector, très doux, posé, très agréable..et en plus, il parle français..la croisière vient de passer de fabuleuse à sublime...incontournable activité à faire si on pose un pied en Crète..

    Superb day (July 1st, 2022) with our captain Vasilis, very nice, professional; excellent food made by his wife ; an excursion that gave us flexibility to counter the crowds on Gramvousa and Balos. This is one of our very nice activities on the island of Crete. Thank you Vasilis!
