About the experience

This half-day cruise offers a relaxing escape to the nearby islands of Thodorou and Lazaretta, just off the coast of Chania. It's the perfect short trip for those who want to enjoy beautiful waters and peaceful surroundings without spending the entire day at sea.

Thodorou Island is a protected natural area with a quiet, untouched feel. Its rocky coastline and green hills create a scenic view, and the waters around it are great for swimming. Right nearby, Lazaretta Island is smaller and more secluded, ideal for snorkeling and soaking in the calm of the sea.

Alternatively, you can choose to visit Macherida and Tersanas instead — a more adventurous route featuring rocky cliffs, caves, and deep blue waters. This side of the trip is perfect for diving, exploring, and enjoying the wilder side of the coast.

Whether you prefer a peaceful island getaway or a bold swim through rocky coves, this cruise gives you the freedom to pick the kind of experience you want.

    A fantastic trip, would 100% recommend, worth every penny! We rode on the RIB MARVEL 960 300hp and it very comfortably fit 8 of us and our wonderful Captain Kyriakos (completely guessing on the spelling, total of 9). There were food and drinks provided and everyone involved, boat owners, captains (family owned operation) were very hospitable, knowledgable, and friendly. We felt safe with our captain and the boat and had an incredibly fun time. Book now!

    This boat trip was our highlight in Crete! Costas our captain was the best part he really made us feel at home showing us amazing spots, he was super welcoming and attentive. The boat was super confortable, we did it from 4pm to 8pm so we could watch the sunset and it was definitely the best choice! The whole team was always very responsive of our messages during and after the booking process. Finding the boat was super easy. During the ride we saw like 4 different spots each better then the last, the trip definitely exceeded our expectations! 100% recommend to book and ask for Costas as your captain! Thank you so much to the whole team!

    The team that took us out for the day were super. We had an issue with the fuel of our rib which stopped a couple of times during the day and Ioannis provided us with an upgrade to a cabin cruiser for the rest of the day and extended the day for a few hours longer for us. Very good customer service, and friendly staff.

    Captain was very nice and we had a good day. The trip is entirely missold as highlighted by another customer. Booked for a day as advertised which is then reduced to 9am to 3.30pm. Advert suggests that trip will be to Balos - but actually only travels a short distance around Chania - without enough fuel to go any further. So we had a nice day but not at all what is advertised or promised. Better off going with someone else and paying for fuel to go where you want!
