Dia Island is a hidden gem with a peaceful, off-grid feel, just off Crete's north coast. Sail away on a morning or sunset trip from the Venetian port of Heraklion towards Dia. Onboard, you'll find snorkelling gear, a SUP paddleboard and fishing equipment for your enjoyment. You'll anchor at Dia Island to swim, snorkel or simply bask in the sun. Lunch or dinner, complete with local white wine, is served beneath the cliffs.

It was just amazing - Both sailers were very knowledgeable and so nice to chat to - They made us a gorgeous meal and we had really lovely wine just relaxing near the island with turquoise water all around us - Thank you Serena & Rob

Hallo super Erlebnis kann ich nur jeden empfehlen gerne wieder nicht zu viele Leute an Bord super Service das Rssen an Bord war auch sehr sehr gut

Leider sprach man kein Deutsch. Unsere Tour fand bei sehr starken Wellengang statt . Mir hätte das anlegen von Schwimmwesten mehr Sicherheit gegeben. Essen Getränke alles super und freundliche Besatzunhg.

Der Ausflug war perfekt. Das Segelboot war sehr kompakt / modern und cool.!! Wir waren 6 Gäste und 2 Mann Besatzung!! Es war ein wunderschönes Urlaubserlebnis - Danke dafür. Ich kann es nur empfehlen! - Für 100 Euro einfach toll.

We loved every second of our trip the crew couldn't do enough for us the boat was immaculate and the food was lovely Thankyou
