Embark on a 5-hour journey filled with unforgettable moments as you explore the most breathtaking beaches of Northwest Crete – Balos Lagoon and Gramvousa Island.
Balos Lagoon is undeniably one of Greece’s most stunning destinations, known for its unique beach scattered with sea shells and its surreal, crystal-clear waters. Begin your day by departing from Chania harbor and cruising through picturesque waters to reach secluded bays. Arriving at Balos before the larger ferries ensures a peaceful and serene experience as you relax and swim in the lagoon’s mesmerizing blue waters.
Next, set sail to Gramvousa Island, famous for its Venetian castle built in 1579, perched atop a dramatic 137-meter rock. For those seeking adventure, take an optional 20-minute walk to the castle for panoramic views and an up-close look at this historic site. Whether you explore the castle or simply swim in the island’s pristine waters, the beauty of Gramvousa is sure to captivate you.
As you head back to Chania, enjoy a scenic route along the rugged coastline of the Rocky Mountains, taking in the stunning landscape before arriving back at the old harbor.
Charter our Wellcraft Scarab Exel 31” 850hp Powerboat for an extraordinary half-day escape. Our skilled skipper will tailor your tour, guiding you to exclusive spots with crystal-clear waters and ensuring a comfortable, high-class experience aboard our 9.5-meter vessel. Say goodbye to typical boat tours and discover the hidden gems of the Cretan seas – unspoiled, picturesque beaches and breathtaking scenery await.
