You'll pass no end of coves, caves and beaches on this boat trip around Crete's north coast. Casting off from the historic port of Rethymnon, you'll pass the Venetian Fortezza. Relax on board as we continue on to Kefalas Bay – a crescent of powdery sand hemmed in by pine trees. Dropping anchor, you'll have around an hour to swim and snorkel while your crew prepares a locally-sourced lunch.

Nice views. Greek style salad was ok. Pirate themed vessel could appeal may be 2% customers, but overall was less comfy than classic design holiday boat like in Egypt or offered from Chania. Also smoking was allowed on board

It was a bit chaotic getting on the boat having to fill forms in when temperatures were in 30s , crew were amazing, food lovely and very relaxing trip

It was definitely a relaxing trip. Getting on board was a little slow, some people had a pink boarding pass and went straight on. Cool boat with plenty of room to either bask in the sun or stay in the shade. The snorkelling was amazing, a great spot and plenty of time to explore. Lunch was a traditional Greek salad but it was large and full of fresh, flavoursome ingredients; also had fresh bread and olive oil. It a great way to see the area of the coast. Staff were very professional.

The journey there was to long with no stops, food very basic and the journey back was the same

Sold as including barbecue lunch and wine but we were all just given a bowl of salad with dry bread and a can of drink. No sign of a barbecue or wine. Not very relaxing as there were sea urchins everywhere and my daughter got a sea urchin spine stuck in her toe.
