We had such a great time on this cruise, swimming in such clear water was definitely a highlight on our trip. Would reccomend!

Fantastic trip and the crew were excellent. Lovely boat and snacks and drinks provided- perfect. From pick up at hotel, welcome drinks and intro, swimming stops, amazing view of the sunset, music, atmosphere, to the raki as you left - superb. Highly recommend.

No vacation is complete without getting on a boat at least once. Our scheduled sailing cruise had to be postponed one day due to inclement weather, but this was no problem for us. The folks at DanEri Yachts were easy to work with and communicated clearly. We had no problem meeting up on the port side of the Marina Café in Heraklion for our sunset cruise. The hosts were polite and gracious with drinks (juice, wine, etc.) and a spread of snacks (fresh fruit, chicken nuggets, cheese, breadsticks, charcuterie, etc.). The sunset cruise took us out to a cove in the southwest corner of the uninhabited isle of Dia - which when viewed from Heraklion resembles a lizard or sleeping dragon. There we were given around 30 minutes or so to swim or snorkel. We opted to just dip our feet in the water, as it was still too cold for us to comfortably swim in, though another traveler decided to brave it anyway. We returned to the port just as the sun was setting - perfect timing! I highly recommend this cruise for those looking for an evening activity in Heraklion.

Even thought the weather wasn't amazing, the crew was.
They were super friendly and funny, the boat was new and perfect for the trip.
We can recommend to book with them..even if the weather is not 100% on your side they will manage to offer you a good time

Brilliant sunset cruise on fantastic new catamaran with lovely captain George and Joanna . Communication was brilliant and we were a couple who joined a group of other lovely people only 8 of us in total so lots of space . Sea was a bit chilly in April but 4 of us from the north of England braved it for a fabulous swim thanks to Dan who was first in

I found George and Alex to be very welcoming and entertaining. We had lovely snacks and drinks, and a fantastic swim. Whilst some reviews speak about the wasps, we doesn't find it too bad and whilst swimming, they were not a problem. A lovely evening cruise and highly recommended

Having done many boat/catamaran trips in Greek islands and around the world we were looking forward to this one. Unfortunately, the experience didn’t live up to what we expected.
The trip time was changed hours before the trip which wasn’t a problem for us but lucky that I happened to check my emails as I had no other communication.
It states ‘drinks’ are included onboard. We were offered one drink once we reached our swim spot, once this was finished classes were quickly removed, washed up and that was that. No offer of any further drinks at all.
We had a small snack selection which was fine, however the processed chicken nuggets didn’t add value for money.
You have one stop at an island to swim, you have no prior warning of the wasps that will ascend on you as soon as you stop. You’re just told to stay calm and not move if they come near you. We’ve dealt with this in previous Greek islands, so it wasn’t a massive problem but for some this would be extremely off putting and make their trip uncomfortable.
It’s suggested that snorkel, fins etc are provided but it seemed a slight inconvenience when we asked for this.
George was pleasant enough, Alexandra not so much and could do with cracking a smile and being more hospitable.
The sunset on return to the port was lovely to see and the only thing that stopped the trip being rated any lower. I think for £150 for 2 people, 3 hours on a boat with 1 drink, a chicken nugget and a slice of cheese is quite ludicrous.
There was another catamaran out from the same company. The guests got off pretty steaming but you could see they’d all had a great day with smiles and laughter all around, the staff on that boat seemed very upbeat! Perhaps that was the full day trip.
