Great boat + great crew + great destination = a great day - An excellent day-trip! The boat is modern, clean, and very well maintained. The crew was very welcoming and friendly and made the trip a great experience. The food and drink was simple but tasty and there was lots. It is available through most of the afternoon. The trip itself is a pleasant and memorable experience. There is sufficient of time for exploring at Balos Bay and at Gramvousa. Both are place that are ruggedly beautiful and very photogenic. Overall this excursion was a great find and provides good value.

Fabulous day out on a beautiful catamaran!! - We sailed from Kolymbari to Monster Island on 01 October. Never seen a calmer sea and gorgeous blue skies. The crew were welcoming - great explanation of the trip and off we went with drinks and snacks first thing at 9:30am! We were a group of 6 friends with just another 10 people. Lovely sailing on a lovely cartamaran. Clean and spacious. Swim stop was fun and felt very safe. Lunch was a triumph on board and they catered for one of our group who is dairy intolerant and gluten free too! All very impressive. We danced all the way back to port under the sun drinking the trip out of wine! All 3 crew was helpful and friendly. Highly recommend and would go again. Thanks for such a fab day!!

An unforgettable experience! - An unforgettable experience! This was truly a wonderful trip. The catamaran was absolutely stunning — spacious, luxurious, and genuinely modern. From the very first moment, the crew stood out for their friendliness, attentiveness, and warm attitude. Although there were quite a few guests on board, the yacht is so large and comfortable that it never felt crowded. On the contrary — I ended up meeting many lovely people and having great conversations, which made the experience even better. The food deserves a special mention! Right from the welcome, we were treated to coffee, tea, and a huge variety of fresh pastries, cakes, and savory pies — there was so much I can’t even list it all. And it didn’t stop there — food was served throughout the entire day, and there was a lot of it. You definitely won’t go hungry! There were also various snacks — cheeses, salami, fruit — and an open bar available all day long. First stop: Balos Lagoon. This place is pure magic. The morning sun shining over the crystal-clear turquoise waters was simply breathtaking. We didn’t dock directly on the beach, but the crew thoughtfully transported everyone via a small speedboat. The staff were so kind and helpful — they even recommended I hike up the hill to the small church for the best panoramic views. I’m so glad I did — the view was spectacular, and our catamaran looked absolutely beautiful from above. What I really appreciated was the timing — we were among the first boats to arrive at Balos, so we had the chance to enjoy the peaceful beauty of the place before the crowds started to arrive. As we were leaving, many more boats were just pulling in, and the beach was getting busy. Second stop: Gramvousa Island. Again, everything was well-organized. We were taken to the shore by speedboat while lunch was being served on board — and what a lunch! The amount and variety of food was impressive, and everything was truly delicious. It’s clear that the company values quality — not just in service, but in the food as well. Snorkeling gear, SUP boards, life jackets, masks, and fins were all available for guests — included in the price. One thing that really stood out was how engaged the crew was — they didn’t just serve food and drinks, they also shared interesting information about each destination and gave personal recommendations. It felt like they genuinely cared about making our day special. I wholeheartedly recommend this cruise, this company, and especially this yacht! I didn’t see a more beautiful catamaran anywhere around — it was truly a luxury experience from start to finish, and one I’d happily do again!

Do it! Best day of our trip to Chania - Absolutely fantastic! 100% worth the money. The ship is high-end, the crew is great. You get an early start (8am) but that gets you to Balos before the big ferries arrive with their crowds of hundreds! of people. Tip: you need water shoes or flipflops for Balos, and if you have a waterproof bag, bring it.

Day at sea pampered - They had to bring forward our trip to the previous day due to the expected (and confirmed) sea conditions so there were a little more of us but the catamaran is big enough for everyone , new spotless friendly staff , snorkeling equipment , sup or even just to let any children play available . There is plenty of food and all the time from breakfast to aperitif lunch and dessert and fruit for snack, open bar. The sea is beautiful , we arrived early there were not many boats and we really enjoyed the moments in the water Highly recommended

Great experience 10/10 - Great trip, absolutely recommended 👍 Crew was very nice and they knew what they were doing. Next time WHEN I’m taking this trip I’ll take the VIP tickets, if nothing else than just to skip the minor hassle when entering the ship, since VIP tickets get to board first plus have guaranteed seating on the upper deck. But all in all, great experience, highly recommended 👍

Balos Dreaming - The crew could not have been kinder. They were very attentive, our glasses were always full and we had delicious food throughout our adventure. Balos is the most incredible destination and there is no better way to visit than by DanEri boat. We have never seen more beautiful water and we have been to Capri, the Dominican Republic, and Glacial Lakes untouched by motor boats. We highly recommend this experience.

Perfect catamaran trip for the whole family with extraordinary crew!! - Beautiful boat tour to Balos and Gramvousa on a new luxury catamaran. The crew is super nice, organized and ensures that no guest lacks anything. The food was excellent! Also super suitable for the little guests: a direct slide into the sea, a box with a large selection of toys as well as the pink flamingo ensure sufficient employment! Perfect trip! We would book again and again! 😎☀️🌊⛵️

Unforgettable day - Superb day on the catamaran DanEri lux. Great crew and full of attention. The 2 swimming spots are beautiful and we have time to enjoy. Snorking paddle are offered and they land you on the beaches with a zodiak if you wish. We took the normal formula and not VIP and we also had benches to lie down. Do not hesitate to book via the internet this magnificent service. To be redone
