About the experience

During the trip we will visit the   islands of Thodorou and Lazareta.

Leaving from the Venetian Old Port of Chania ,we need just 15 min to reach Theodorou
(also known as the Kri-Kri island). A Natura 2000 protected area, the island is home to Crete’s wild Kri Kri goats and some amazing natural landscape. As soon as we anchor you can swim, enjoy the boat and the sun and take pictures as the area offers the perfect background.


After that, we head to some amazing caves and an aircraft wreck from the World War ll, which is visible from the surface of the sea. Next stop on our trip is the beautiful island called Lazareta with its small isolated beach.This is also an amazing chance for snorkeling since there are plenty of fish around.

Prices include skipper and host services , beverages ( soft drinks, beers & water ) , snacks,  snorkeling equipment, a SUP, towels and taxes . Full lunch/ dinner can be served for an additional charge during all tours. Our cruises are  totally private.

The 200€ fuel fee is not included in the price and is paid on the day of the tour directly to our captain.

    Fantastic! The boat is wonderful, in excellent condition despite its age. The skipper was very communicative and responsive… he completely accommodated our wishes. There were drinks on board, including cold beer, and the whole family of seven was delighted. I recommend it to everyone.

    We had a great day with Chania Boat Tours and the team of Stavros, Antonis and Georg. We booked a six hour tour from the Venetian Harbour to the islands Thodorou & Lazareta on the 14m motorboat Apollo. The boat is really cool. the islands and the sea are a nice place to see and enjoy yourself. Maybe even more important, the team is very kind, knowledgeable and flexible. Even though we had to manage rough weather conditions, they found a flexible and fair way to make the tour happen and enable a great trip. So bottom line, thumbs up and full recommendation from our side.

    Our trip on Stavros's 2006 Sarnico 43 boat was fantastic. Great communication from Stavros in advance. The crew of Antonis and George couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful, and made sure we had a good experience. We were well looked after in terms of refreshments too. Snorkels and SUP were provided so made for a great afternoon out around the islands and finished off with the sunset before returning the Chania port. Thank you for a great experience.

    Fantastic time on the sea! We did a short afternoon trip and it was exactly what we were looking for - great swim stops, soft drinks, wine, salad and fruits, polite skippers, and a very cool boat :) Will definitely return and go for a longer adventure. Thank you very much!

    A fab day had by all 8 of us. The boat was perfect for our 2 families and the snorkels and paddle board helped to keep us all busy in the water when anchored in the beautiful bays. The lunch was perfect and delicious and the drinks were welcome throughout to cool us down. Only tweaks to make it 5 all round would be to make sure there was toilet roll and to have more water for the shower for rinsing off the salt water. Communications prior to the day were excellent and the host was welcoming. We’d recommend this boat to friends without question. An amazing chilled and fun day on a lovely boat. Thank you.

    Great experience with great team. We thought it was our own boat (a dream). Very safety boat and all we need on board, including wine and beers. 4h trip was a little too short: we did not realise how fast tile was running= very good sign. One of our best boat trip experience.

    Unforgettable day in the company of lovely people. We visited places that will remain etched in our memory for life. It really is something to do once in a lifetime! I advise very strongly! The crew is really very competent and gives good advice. They leave us a great intimacy, such an impression of having our own boat.

    Antonis is reactive to answer the message. These statements are consistent with the performance. Be careful though: on the site, it is written that there is water skiing and a buoy; This is not the case. On the other hand, a paddle is available: interesting experience. Very good ride overall. THANKS

    We had a wonderful family day. Everything was on top, the welcome, the comfort in the boat, the communication with the skippers who were very nice, the meal on board was delicious and of course the trip and the stops we made, beaches and landscapes breathtaking. We leave with a great memory of these holidays and highly recommend to those who want to spend a great day at sea.

    We were a group of 8 people and we really enjoyed the day. Antonis and Manos were really great, taking care of us. The lunch was also very good. boat very clean and the itinerary was lovely. My only recommendation is to have a small boat to bring to and from the beach the passengers when going to Balos. But overall, all great!

    These guys are the best. During the stops they gave us privacy, took us to the best places, provided snorkel and paddle board. If you asked me as a friend, I’d tell you to use Antonis and this boat because it was the best day of our trip

    Antonis is a great Skipper, the navigation was pleasant in the open sea, the welcome was just as pleasant. Antonis was assisted by his colleague, whose first name I have unfortunately forgotten, she was very caring. There were two of us, she regularly offered us drinks and offered us a varied fruit platter. The whole boat is very clean and as advertised. I thank Antonis and his colleague for the excursion, the welcome and the hospitality on his magnificent boat. I recommend !!
