Your luxury catamaran is spacious, stylish, and designed for comfort.
Your journey begins at Kissamos Port, with transfer from Georgioupoli included. The crew welcomes you with Prosecco and light snacks; soft drinks, coffee, tea, water, local wine and Cretan beer are served throughout.
Sail to Balos Lagoon, where three seas meet. Relax on pink-white sands, in shallow waters, or enjoy views from the tender boat.
On board: sushi rolls, seasonal fruit, SUP, snorkeling and our iconic pink flamingo.
Sail back in the golden hour. The sun sets behind the Gramvousa mountains, so a full sea sunset is visible only on about 15 days a year.
We operate a Lagoon 450 and a Bali Catspace; the specific boat is not guaranteed.
IMPORTANT: The time in your booking is the cruise departure time from the port, NOT your pickup time. The day before the cruise you will receive a message with your pickup point and pickup time based on your location. Please watch for it so you don't miss it.
