Greece · SUNSET CRUISES IN CRETE
The good sunset cruises in Crete go weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: 8 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Review of Rethymno’s one-hour Captain Hook sunset cruise, with Fortezza views, a drink, practical tips, seasickness advice, and value guidance.
“Set sail at 7pm as the sun was setting. Leaving port a little earlier would have given us a better/longer view of the sunset”
Review of Rethymno’s 3.5-hour sunset catamaran cruise, with sushi, open bar, swimming, SUP, snorkeling, and practical booking tips.
“The staff were all friendly and accommodating, making sure that our experience was special. The view was amazing and the sunset was spectacular.”
Review of Hersonissos sunset catamaran cruise with swimming, SUP, snacks, drinks, sunset views, practical tips, and honest value advice.
“Fun activity and good value for money. Enjoyed going in the water by the island with a life jacket and pool noodles as I am not very confident in the water. The other passengers will affect your trip, we had nice people onboard although mostly keeping to themselves. The skippers/guides were pleasant, not extremely outgoing or loud, which was perfectly good for me.”
Sail from Heraklion to Dia Island for clear-water swimming, snorkeling, snacks, and a memorable Cretan sunset cruise.
“Perfect afternoon. Really nice that we could sail thz boat”
Sail from Heraklion to quiet Dia Island for snorkeling, paddleboarding, Greek food, drinks, and a beautiful sunset return.
“This experience was the cherry on the cake for our trip here. For a cheap price a 4 hour boat-trip with food, amazing view on the sea and sunset, snorkling and swimming. The guides/captains were all very kind. 10/10 would recommend.”
Sail from Heraklion to Dia Island for swimming, snorkeling, dinner, drinks, and a memorable sunset aboard a small-group yacht.
“Excellent. From pick up to going out on the boat was faultless. The trip exceeded my expectations and nothing was to much trouble. Highly Recommended”
Review of Hersonissos’ luxury sunset catamaran cruise with sushi, swimming, snorkeling, open bar, and practical booking tips.
“Thomas and the crew were fabulous! So kind and welcoming. Very organized while providing refreshments throughout a wonderful afternoon cruise as well as a second sunset cruise that we purchased. Both were spectacular. Highly recommend Daneri Yacht cruises while visiting Crete.”
Review of Crete’s sunrise balloon flight and sunset catamaran cruise, including food, drinks, itinerary, value, practical tips, and weather rules.
“A dream come true! The hot air balloon flight has been on my bucket list and it was magical (I don’t even like heights). Sergey and his crew went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed every moment in the air and after landing enjoyed a small brunch at Elin Gas Station/Route 29, which was exceptional. We enjoyed every bite and the hospitality given from not only Sergey, but the owner made us feel special! We all left completely full. The catamaran that evening was just as enjoyable. The whole day was like a fairy tale and so relaxing. I would definitely do it again!!!”
