About the experience

Step aboard the elegant Elan Impression 434 and enjoy a beautiful half day private sailing experience to the stunning island of Dia. Combining refined comfort, generous living spaces, and excellent cruising performance, this yacht is a perfect choice for families, couples, or groups of friends looking to enjoy a relaxing and memorable escape at sea.

The Elan Impression 434 has been designed to offer a wonderful balance of comfort, practicality, and elegance. Its semi deck saloon creates a bright and welcoming atmosphere, enhanced by panoramic windows, abundant natural light, and a sophisticated light wood interior. Spacious and inviting, the yacht provides the perfect environment to unwind and enjoy every moment on board.

Outside, the generous cockpit offers ample space for relaxing and socialising, while the large swimming platform makes it easy to enjoy the crystal clear waters during your stop at Dia Island. Whether you prefer sunbathing, swimming, snorkelling, or simply taking in the peaceful surroundings, this yacht offers everything needed for a comfortable and enjoyable time on the water.

This half day cruise is a wonderful way to discover Dia Island from the sea and enjoy the beauty of Crete from a unique and privileged perspective. Located around 7 nautical miles north of Crete, Dia is a protected NATURA island, uninhabited and rich in natural beauty and historical significance. Surrounded by clear blue waters and peaceful scenery, it is the perfect destination for a shorter but equally unforgettable sailing escape.

During the cruise, guests can swim and snorkel in beautiful waters, relax on board under the warm Mediterranean sun, or simply enjoy the serenity of the sea breeze and the elegance of the yacht. If you are lucky, you may even spot dolphins swimming alongside the boat, making the experience even more special.

To make your time on board even more enjoyable, the trip includes coffee, water, refreshments, beer, and one bottle of wine for every four guests, as well as snorkelling equipment including flippers and masks, and fishing equipment such as rods and reels.

Whether you are looking for a relaxing escape with family, a romantic outing, or a stylish time at sea with friends, this half day private sailing trip to Dia Island offers the perfect combination of comfort, beauty, and unforgettable moments.

    We had a fantastic trip. The yacht was in perfect condition. The crew was friendly and we had good conversations. The Isle of Dia is a beautiful place for snorkeling. We visited two bays and saw many different fish and an octopus. We had a delicious lunch. The Order and all conversation of the process of Rent was easy and all time professionell.

    Very good communication and organization by Ioannis, individual needs and wishes were dealt with in an uncomplicated manner. The trip itself was a bit uncomfortable, but that is probably due to the boat's construction. A better selection of drinks would have been desirable. Chilled branded drinks or coffee would have rounded off the offer. The lunch itself, however, was excellent! I would definitely recommend Ioannis and his team, and we would also book a tour again. Thank you Ioannis for this wonderful day at sea ??????

    Ioannis and Ernesto were nice. Food was ok (pasta without sauce). Greek salad was excellent! Snorkeling was below expectations. Value: we paid 70 euros for gasoline but 90% of the trip was sailing (not using boat engine). No refund was offered. We provided a good tip for Ioannis/team.

    Ioannis was an excellent host. The day trip to Dia Island was the perfect amount of time at the island. The included meal was very good. His boat included a paddle board as well and snorkel masks and breathing tubes. They took us to 2 coves on Dia Island. The water was very clear and perfect for snorkeling. I would recommend a trip with Ioannis.

    We had an amazing 4 days on Ioannis’ boat, Captain Dimitros was our skipper and our guide furing the cruise. They led us to wonderful secrets spots where we could swim and discover the cretan coast. Discreet and very easy to go along with, Dimitros included us in the boat maneuvers, he’s a very good sailman! 100% would recommend !!

    We had a nice time with Ioannis on our afternoon trip to Dia. The sailing, food and stop at Dia were very enjoyable. Our only main disappointment was the music system. As a group of friend with a birthday even we were looking forward listening to some music, but the system was unfortunately with a low sound that during sailing could not be heard at all. Would've helped knowing this in order to bring our portable speaker. Also for a large group the amount of water entertainment items was a bit too limited, miscommunication on paddle board availability and only snorkel gears. For the amount of hours it would help having more variety of such items.
