Sunset Catamaran With Prosecco

Sunset Catamaran With Prosecco, 3.5 - 4.5 hours, rated 4.9 across 404 traveller reviews.

Overview

This cruise leaves from Chania's Old Venetian Harbour and sails out to Agioi Theodoroi, an uninhabited protected island just offshore. The whole outing runs three and a half to four and a half hours aboard a modern catamaran with sunbeds and shaded lounge areas. It is run by DanEri Yachts, with an English-speaking crew and a maximum of 25 travelers.

The flow is simple and unhurried. Guests board, get a welcome glass of Prosecco with Mediterranean finger foods and a short safety briefing, then sail out. Once anchored near the island there is time to swim, snorkel, paddleboard, fish, or float on an inflatable flamingo, with all gear provided on board. Afterwards a platter of sushi rolls is served, followed later by fresh fruit, and the open bar of water, soft drinks, beer and Greek wine runs throughout. The sunset over the sea closes the cruise before the boat heads back to Chania Old Port.

It suits couples, friends, families and solo travelers, and reviewers often mention the friendly crew and the sunset views. Children are catered for with bao buns and a toy box on request, and special occasions can be flagged in advance for a complimentary gift.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points help this trip go smoothly, from paperwork requirements to what to pack.

• Bring the basics. The listing asks for swimwear, a towel, sunscreen and a passport or ID card, with a copy accepted. Towels are not provided, though a branded DanEri towel can be bought on board for ten euros.
• Paperwork matters. Port authorities require each passenger's full name, date of birth, passport or ID number and nationality at booking. The QR-code voucher is sent by email the day before the tour and serves as the ticket.
• Group feel. The cap is 25 travelers, and reviewers often praise the crew, who circulate with drinks and snacks, help with photos and play music on board. Several said the crew made the trip.
• Food and drink. Sushi rolls, welcome finger food, fruit, and unlimited water, soft drinks, beer and Greek wine are all included, along with espresso, tea and detox water. Cocktails and drinks beyond the open bar are not included, and red wine is not allowed on board.
• Weather flexibility. The cruise is weather-dependent and can be rescheduled or cancelled in bad conditions.
• Swim and photos. One reviewer reported clear water full of fish near the island and even spotted kri-kri goats on the cliffs. The inflatable flamingo, SUP boards and free Wi-Fi make photos easy to share on the spot.

Common issues. Weather is the main variable, and the operator may move the departure harbour or reschedule entirely, which several reviewers experienced. Pregnant travelers, those with a child under two, anyone prone to seasickness or with mobility or health issues is asked to check the forecast and consult the team before booking. One review noted rough waves at the start, though not to the point of illness. Some travelers feel the food portions could be more generous, and private cabin use is on request and not guaranteed. Hotel transfers are not included but can be arranged on request, and shoes are not allowed indoors on the vessel.
