Private

From €80

Your own yacht and crew for a morning sail to Dia Island. Swim in Natura 2000 coves, fresh Cretan lunch on board, and your afternoon free. Private sailing from Heraklion.

Overview

Your own yacht, your own crew, your own pace — this is sailing the way it should be. An early start means cooler temperatures, calmer seas, and a private morning escape to Dia Island's Natura 2000-protected waters before the rest of your day begins.
We set sails from Heraklion's Old Venetian Port and anchor in a sheltered cove — Agrilia Bay, Agios Georgios, or Panagia — where the water is impossibly clear. You might spot the Cretan eagle circling above or wild rabbits on the rocky shore. Swim, snorkel, or simply float. When you're ready, your crew serves a fresh Cretan lunch prepared on board with locally sourced ingredients.

Highlights
