Full description

Rent your own motorboat or RIB boat and discover the picturesque islands and scenic views around Crete. Create your own itinerary and explore islands such as Agioi Pantes or Spinalonga, or the beaches of Agriomantra and Kolokytha.

After check-in, set off from the port of Agios Nikolaos on your adventure. Choose a route that interests you and explore lesser-known areas off the coast of Crete.

You can sail to the uninhabited island of Agioi Pantes. Spot the former church which is located at the top of the island. You may also see the endangered species of Cretan mountain goats, called “Kri-Kri”.

Sail to the beautiful island of Spinalonga located 800 meters off the coast. Admire the views of the 16th-century Venetian fortress, which also served as a leper colony from 1903 to 1957. Make a stop for swimming at Kolokytha, one of the most beautiful beaches in Crete. Hike along the pathway that takes you from the beach to the church of Agios Loukas and the Byzantine chapel of Agios Fokas. You may also choose to sail towards Agriomantra, a beach that is found at the end of Agriomantra’s gorge and is of outstanding natural beauty. Relax beneath the Tamarisk trees which offer natural shade, while there are barbecues and benches to have a picnic on the beach.

Everything was perfect, from the booking to renting the boat. Very friendly staff, they explain very clearly how to ride the boat and they let you to a "test drive" to make you "feel" the boat. Make sure you have a charged smartphone with you, they install a navigation app on it so you now where to go and where to avoid rocks in the water and tell you where are the best spots to throw the anker. We only wished the 4 hours could last longer! 100% recommended!

Awesome experience and great support and flexibility from the team. Only issue was the strong wind, so next time would be great to know the calm areas around. But once we found that it was truly amazing. Thanks for everything!
