⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ein perfekter Tag auf dem Wasser!

Von Anfang bis Ende hat einfach alles gestimmt. Die Buchung war unkompliziert, das Boot in einem Top-Zustand und super sauber. Besonders hervorheben möchte ich das Personal: unglaublich freundlich, hilfsbereit und professionell! Sie haben sich Zeit genommen, alles verständlich zu erklären, und standen bei Fragen immer zur Verfügung – man hat sich sofort wohl und sicher gefühlt.

Die Fahrt selbst war ein Traum – wunderschöne Route, entspannte Atmosphäre und volle Freiheit, das Boot in Ruhe zu genießen. Man merkt, dass hier mit Leidenschaft gearbeitet wird.

Fazit: Absolute Empfehlung! Wer eine stressfreie und hochwertige Bootsvermietung sucht, ist hier genau richtig. Ich komme ganz sicher wieder - 15/10/25

Had an amazing experience with this company. From start to finish the communication was great. We lucked out with the weather so the sea was calm. The 4 hours flew by and everything was perfect. Thanks guys 🙏 - 14/10/25

We unfortunately did not get to utilize their boat rental services due to weather, however their customer service is top notch. Upon our return home, I was reviewing our expenses and had mistakenly accused the company of charging me despite not renting. Instead of ignoring me or getting defensive, they actually responded right away and helped me figure out what the charge actually was (a different tour company). It was incredibly kind and completely unnecessary, but so very appreciated. If we return to Chania in the future, we will absolutely rent from them. - 13/10/25

I can highly recommend the boat rental – it’s definitely worth booking a boat for a day! Just cruising around the Arenal area, which you’re allowed to explore, is absolutely amazing, plus the island and the beautiful bay.

The instructions were very clear, and the staff was super friendly.

We had a wonderful day and would do it again anytime!

Best regards

Rented a boat for 4 hours — fantastic experience! Both men gave clear instructions and great route suggestions. Prices were very reasonable, and even with no prior experience, they taught us everything we needed to know so we felt completely safe.
Will definitely do it again when I return to Crete! - 11/10/25
