Itinerary

Itenirary
DAY 1:
As soon as the guests arrive on the yachts in Heraklio Old Venetian port, a small briefing concerning safety regulations as well as boat handling will be given by the instructor/skipper on the yacht. Ready to set sails for the nearby island of Dia! (around 6 miles ~1 hrs). Our experienced crew will help you feel comfortable while sailing (not motoring). Enjoy the beauty that surrounds you, and the silence, while the yacht moves only by sails.
Your skipper is a certified sailing instructor and will guide you thorough some secrets of sailing.
Everybody is welcome to participate, if you would like to!
We put our anchors in a protected cove of Dia island which belongs to the Natura 2000 project.
After a snack and a small briefing we take our masks and the special BioWatch cards and dive in order to observe and record the different fish species. While in the water, you will be aided by a waterproof identification guide, which you are free to keep after the activity; on it, you will be able to record the species you observed.
After this refreshing experience a delicious meal is prepared by your crew. Enjoy your buffet on board with a variety of organic salads and pasta with fresh mussels and salmon. An excellent dry wine (2 bottles per yacht, as we drink responsibly while sailing) will accompany your meal. Season fruit and local sweets will be offered as dessert! We spend the whole day exploring this island across the island and we enjoy our dinner on board.

FAQs

Is there a flexibility regarding the starting days?
There are fixed dates for our cabin charter adventures.
Is there enough space on board for my suitcase?
Kindly note that space inside a boat is limited. Although each cabin has lots of storage such as wardrobes, lockers etc. We strongly recommend to bring with you only the essential (we can store your stuff that you do not need outside of the boat and bring them back at the checkout).
Keep in mind that hard suitcases do not fit the yacht. Instead you can use soft fabric suitcases
that can fold.
What shall I bring with me?
Try to keep your suitcase small. Swimming suit, flippers for our walks in the villages and open
trek shoes for our light hikes. Hat, glasses and sun protection. A light daypack for our treks
(10-12lts). Light windbreaker and maybe a couple of long sleeve t-shirts would be more than
enough.
Are there towels and bedsheets provided?
Yes, there is one set per person for the week (2 bedlinens, 2 towels, 1 pillow case).
How large are the cabins?
That depends on the boat.
Our 50 footer has 3 large double cabins, 1 with bank beds for guest and 1 for crew. They all share 3 wc/showers.
Any other information?
