Great day out with a wonderful Crew - My partner and I made a trip to Chania (Crete) and managed to book a Catamaran trip to some of the gorgeous islands in the vicinity. We were greeted by Dimitri, who was a delight to meet, he is a very knowledgeable and likeable character, with a vitality a smile which puts you at ease throughout the trip. Jessica was busy preparing various snacks and Yannik was our Captain for the day. Our adventure started when we removed our shoes and made ourselves at home in the luxurious vessel. We were extremely lucky as the weather was superb, and the waters were a joy, clean, blue and full of life. Dimitri gave us a great step by step history of the area, with his incredible understanding of Crete and its history, while Jessica kept us fed with delicate morsels of tasty food and drinks. Yannik was busy taking us from place to place at a great pace, giving us a chance to enjoy the scenery. An adventure we will never forget and talk about to our friends and family.

Superb day out in a luxury catamaran to stunning beaches - We had a fantastic day with the wonderful crew led by Dimitri, Giovanni, and Jessica. From start to finish, Dimi made us all feel at ease—nothing was too much for him. He was always smiling, asking us what we wanted to drink and eat, etc. He also ferried our group back and forth to the islands with the mini boat.
Jessica cooked up a storm—the food was incredibly tasty and beautifully presented (as evidenced by the photos)! And of course, Giovanni, the captain of the catamaran, was always so friendly and helpful too.
This tour was truly the highlight of our first trip to Crete, and we’ve taken many stunning photos of Balos and Gramvousa. Angelo caught 9 fish during the journey (mostly pufferfish), as the crew also provided some fishing gear for us. He thoroughly enjoyed his fishing experience.
All in all, it was a superb day, and we’ll remember this trip for years to come. Thank you all again!

This is the best Boat... - This is the best Boat Tour we have ever been on. From the start of the trip to the end, you are treated by Dimitri and Jessica like you are so special. The homecooked Greek meal created by Jessica was stupendous. Meanwhile, Dimitri made personal contact with every member of the passengers on board. The scenery was wonderful too,especially snorkeling in the aqua waters.

Highly recommend - We had Captain Attila and his crew, and they were fantastic! Top-notch service and plenty of delicious food and drink. The two stops were out of this world, with stunning views & fun water activities. We were glad we brought our shoes because we hiked up to the Gramvousa fort which was really cool. This excursion was the highlight of our week on Crete, and we highly recommend it!

The best crew in Crete! -
We booked three boat tours with DanEri Yachts during our stay in Crete, and this one was hands down the best! No doubt Balos and Gramvousa were breathtaking, with crystal-clear waters perfect for swimming, but what truly set this tour apart was the exceptional service and the crew's genuine hospitality. Jessica made one of the best meals we had on the island, and her partner made sure we were always comfortable, bringing drinks to wherever we were relaxing on the boat and frequently checking in to see if we needed anything.
It was easily one of the highlights of our week in Crete—if not the best!

Summer on a catamaran - I had read the great reviews, so it was difficult for the staff to exceed expectations. However, they really lived up to expectations. The service provided by Dimitri, Jessica, and Yani was excellent. The food was delicious. The day itself was great. We could swim, snorkel, peddle board, etc. The two stops were beautiful just as the journey to reach them. We had a great day, and it was the highlight of our holiday. We can recommend this trip when you are in (western part of) Crete!
