This cruise was one of the highlights of our trip! We loved sailing around, eating, and swimming. Our hosts were very courteous and knowledgeable about the area. A wonderful experience!

This company is incredible. I told them I wanted to propose on a private cruise and they made accommodations to make it a special moment. Such a great experience, and it was really cool to see a father and son as our skippers who were extremely personable and were a fun time. Would absolutely recommend Sailing Cruises Chania!!

Superb from start to finish. We did a full day sailing trip to Gramvousa and Balos Lagoon. Communication with Natassa was excellent when booking and throughout. Our first date had to be cancelled because of exceptional winds but Natasss was extremely helpful with rearranging. The boat crew were friendly and knowledgeable. Lunch was superb!! Fresh and authentic. Nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend

What a wonderful experience from start to finish! The communication with Natassa was excellent prior to the trip, making the booking both a personal and efficient experience. The boat is beautiful, she is in wonderful condition and scrupulously clean with excellent facilities. The provision of paddle board, pool noodles, snorkelling gear and rubber ring was great. Panos was knowledgeable and interesting, bringing the history of Chania to life. The snacks and lunch were excellent, I can’t rate their food and the care and attention they put into it more highly. My daughter is celiac and they provided her with delicious gluten free snacks and a wonderful gluten free aubergine with feta cheese and tomato for her lunch along with gluten free bread, all served separately to avoid cross contamination - and all prepared on board. Thank you!! All in all an amazing and memorable trip and a highlight of our holiday!

We had a wonderful experience. Our family of 7 enjoyed being on the beautiful "Metaxamama" sail boat. The crew of Panos and Mihalis were great. We jumped off the boat for a nice swim. They prepared a beautiful Cretan snack for us. It was much more than a snack. Due to calm winds, we weren't able to travel under sail, but the very calm sea was nice.

Super lovely experience kind people delicious food. I can’t think of a better way to spend a day. The driver to the excursion was fabulous and the boat captain and Skipper were attentive and lots of fun to be around.

Our private sailing experience was superb! Panos and Kostas really went above and beyond to deliver an exceptional experience on our sailing journey. I even got to steer the boat! They were very accommodating to diet restrictions with fresh made food right on the boat, and had plenty of drinks for the whole family. Panos was well educated on the history and mythology of the local area. They brought us to nice private spot where we were able to dive in the crystal clear waters and even had a paddle board we were able to enjoy as well. As a local family owned business, they delivered an experience better than you’d expect from a commercial company.

My wife and 2 daughters did a sailing cruise in late March and had a fantastic time. It is a family run business that pride itself on customer service and a great experience. Everything from first talking with Natassa booking the tour and then the captains which are her husband and son, Yiannis and Panos, everything was terrific. They provide a great balance of having your own time while also giving some history of Chania and the surrounding sites. Delicious food and snacks and both alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages were delicious. Having a nice aperol spritz on the ride back to the port finished off a great half day cruise. I highly recommend working with them to receive the personal touch. Bravo!!
