Detailed description

Private sailing trip with skipper from Heraklion

Your private sailing trip in Crete opens in the old port of Heraklion with a welcome from the captain, giving you a tour of the 44-foot sailing yacht with which we will be cruising the sea off the north coast of Crete for the next few hours. The destination of our sailing trip is the island of Dias, a few nautical miles from Heraklion. With its quiet bays, the island is a perfect place to unwind for a while. Whenever possible, we will cruise with full sail, depending on the wind conditions of the day. Learn more about navigation from our skipper if you are interested. Our crew can also entertain you with knowledge about the island of Dia if you wish.

On board, up to 10 passengers will find a sunny spot and the reliable comfort of a sailing yacht to enjoy the sound of the sea and the view from the boat - above or below deck. This makes the boat an ideal companion for the private Crete sailing experience. In community, enjoy nature and the elements that make sailing such a great water sport. An integral part of our private Crete sailing tour are the anchor stops in bays that can only be reached by boat and are somewhat secluded from the tourist magnets. Directly from the sailing yacht you can jump into the crystal clear water in front of Dia Island and collect impressions of the underwater world while snorkelling. The private sailing tour from Heraklion can be booked as a day trip and is also possible as a half-day sea trip.

Enjoy our selection of drinks and a meal on board during the private sailing tour from Heraklion. Fresh fruit is also offered as refreshment.
