Itinerary
You can admire Spinalonga island up close. This beautiful island is located across Plaka village, 800m off the coast. When the Venetians occupied Crete, they built a fortress on the island, which survives to this day. Spinalonga served as a leper colony from 1903 to 1957. It is a remarkable monument of World Cultural Heritage and is worth visiting! The island’s history was a source of inspiration for many movies and Victoria Hislop’s best seller “The Island”
Ideally, you can combine your excursion to Spinalonga with swimming in Kolokytha, one of the most beautiful beaches in Crete. Its turquoise-dappled waters will amaze you. Don’t miss the pathway that takes you from the beach to the church of Agios Loukas and the Byzantine chapel of Agios Fokas, which was built to honour the Emperor Nikiforos Fokas for the liberation of Crete by the Arabs in 961 A.D
We also recommend sailing towards Agriomantra, a beach that is found at the exit of Agriomantra’s gorge and is of outstanding natural beauty. Tamarisk trees offer natural shade, while there are barbecues and benches to have a picnic on the beach

What a great experience! This was the first time my wife and I had hired a boat and been out on our own and I have to say it was an absolutely incredible day! Mirrabello Boats made it easy for us - from booking the session, they provided clear instructions in how to operate the boat safely and how to navigate by using the Boat Angel app, and from then on we were off into the open sea! We cruised up the coast, visiting many of the recommended locations, and were able to fit in some swimming and snorkeling......and even saw a stingray and a couple of turtles! All in all it was an amazing experience. We will definitely do it again and will definitely book with Mirrabello Boats next time we are in Crete.
Everything was well organized and the personal was very friendly. No tourist scam
This Company were so good with communication, very responsive. We had an amazing time and I’d highly recommend
We had a great boat day with Nick! He was friendly, professional, and took us to some beautiful spots. Everything was smooth and relaxing—definitely recommend booking with him!
Great experience with family sailing the sea without a license
Lovely boat trip, will be going again
Amazing experience Great boat
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had such a brilliant experience with Mirabello Boats and would absolutely recommend them! The boat was spotlessly clean, in great condition and really easy to drive. It was the perfect size for the two of us, with loads of space, but could easily have comfortably fitted more people. The staff were so friendly and professional from the moment we arrived. Before we set off, they gave us a really thorough demonstration of how everything worked, which made us feel completely confident taking the boat out ourselves. They also talked us through the navigation app, which was fantastic. It made it so easy to find places to explore and stop for a swim, and we loved the added safety feature where the app notified us and the boat beeped if we got too close to an area we shouldn’t enter. We’d been keeping an eye on the weather beforehand, but the team reassured us that the conditions were perfect and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. The boat also had a Bluetooth speaker, and water and soft drinks were included, which were lovely little extras. We only paid €30 for fuel on top of the hire price and felt the whole experience was really good value for money. Such a fun and memorable way to explore Mirabello Bay and definitely one of the highlights of our time in Crete. We’d 100% book with Mirabello Boats again! 🚤☀️💙
We wanted a fun experience on our honeymoon and Mirabello boats came with a recommendation. Very nice people greeted us with smiles and a warm welcome. The boat was clean and clearly new. Alex gave us a very clear briefing and commitment to safety was high. We had a great day out. Strongly recommended. Thanks
Vasilis was the best! We had a great tome and he helped our son to relax and enjoy
Brilliant! So much fun! We’ve booked again for the following day!
Have rented boats before. Best experience by far with this crowd. They were professional and safety minded/orientated. The boats and equipment was also in great shape.
The boat hire was really good!! 6 of us thoroughly enjoyed it and had a lovely time being on the boat!!! However, finding the location turned out to be a bit more difficult than anticipated, the location they give you is incorrect, we overshot the place by a 30 minute walk (following google maps) - we had to call the place and they were really helpful and got a taxi to us but it meant being 30 minutes late to the experience. Overall it’s a really good trip definitely worth it in bigger groups!
This company is great! We ordered a 4 hour rental only to find our daughter was then extremely sick that day! We contacted them and they accommodated a change of date immediately. Thank you so much! The boat had great tech - blue tooth for music, a screen telling you how deep the water is so you know where to anchor and a mobile app to show you where you can and can’t go on the boat. We have rented a lot of boats in Greece and this made navigating where to go so much easier!!!! Would recommend this company anytime!
We arrived 15 minutes earlier and were allowed to wait in their office until the boat was ready. The staff was very friendly and gave us easy to follow instructions and free beverages on the boat, the boat itself being easy to maneuver as well. You don’t have to worry about docking and undocking the ship from the port as they handle that part. Also, all ships are equipped with a depth meter so you don’t scrape the bottom and know when to lay down the anchor.
The staff at this business couldn’t do more to help. Lunch bookings, swim spots, dropping us back to hotel. Was an incredible day swimming in the most beautiful crystal clear waters from an excellent new boat. Would highly recommend 10/10 5 stars the best !
Very easy induction - app help navigate the area. Team makes it super easy to go out and enjoy a day on the water. They were super helpful with restaurant recommendations too. Best seafood meal we have had so far in Crete. :-) thanks George.
We had an enjoyable trip around the islands, and went for a swim. The boat was well supplied with drinks and life jackets. The team at mirabello boats were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.
We had an amazing 4 hours private boat. George and Nicos gave us the info and helped us learn the ropes. It felt they were organized and everything went very smooth. The boat had snorkeling gear, life vests and soft drinks. We drove it all the way to Spinalonga and back, while stopping to snorkel in the recommended spots on their GPS and map. A perfect way to explore the Elonda’s bay and gorgeous coast line. Highly recommended!
I did a 8h rental boat without captain . The team welcomed us very well, provided the app to sail around for the day , recommended a good restaurant close to spinalonga and recommended few areas to stop by …. It was beautiful Very friendly team Very professional All was perfect Thank you for this beautiful day !!!!
Booked via WhatsApp. Website was a bit iffy. The guys were brilliant. Great brief, got us to download a navigation app and have us down advice on destinations. Quick training course and we weee off. Stopped i 4 places over our trip. Swan where no one can’t swim unless arriving by boat. Fantastic. Cost less than £300 with fuel. Amazing.
After a super-friendly and very clear explanation, we took an unforgettable boat trip along the beautiful coastline on a very well-equipped and new boat, including cold drinks, fresh water shower facilities, snorkelling equipment, clear sailing route application... So without any experience a safe and unforgettable trip. Highly recommended! Thanks! ps For us an extra beautifull memory after my marriage proposal on the boat on the shore near 'Ekklisia Agios Fokas' !!!
amazing brand new boats for rental. Friendly staff and top scenic routes! I was happy to meet everyone and felt comfortable T ever part of their customer experience. The boat guide was also helpful! I would recommend this activities for families and young couples.
Excellent boat, great communication, brilliant recommendations for lunch 5*!! Would fully recommend.
We had an absolutely excellent time booking with Mirabello Boats. George & Nikos were incredibly friendly, professional and made our experience even better. They explained everything very clearly and made us feel safe and confident boating out on our own around the beautiful Cretan coastline and surrounding islands. The boats and facilities are first class, everything connects to your smart phone for ease of use, the boats and instruments are all brand new and you have a GPS app providing advice on places to explore and places to avoid, meaning you can really make the most of your time on the water. The prices are very reasonable. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Mirabello Boats again and look forward to my next excursion. 10/10
very good boats very friendly stuff . we rent a fantastic boat and we visit spinalon ga and kolokitha beach
Good boat, fantastic service. We enjoyed the trip thoroughly. The coastline of Crete is beautiful and we anchored at different beaches.
Amazing staff we had a great time and saw some spectacular views defiantly would go back again and would recommend to others!!!!
Outstanding service. George was incredibly helpful and super friendly. Highly recommend using this company. The boats were in excellent condition and super clean.
Very kind and helpful staff. New boats with all the equipment you could need for a morning spent on the water. Best of experience of the holiday.
Great ride, friendly and attentive team. Great experience, thanks to the team!
Nice experience. Friendly staff and a very good explanation. Because of strong winds we got a boat with more horsepower at no extra cost. Could also rebook. When we found the water too rough we could turn around with money back guarantee (or partly). In the end it was not so bad with the wind and we made a nice trip. Well maintained neat boat.
To do with the family, allows you to take the time to sail and dive.
Perfect experience! The boat was in excellent condition, the explanation beforehand was clear and friendly, and the service was top notch. We had a fantastic day and were able to discover the beautiful coast of Crete at our own pace. Definitely recommended – we would rent here again without a doubt!
We were very well welcomed, top-notch team, top-notch boat, drinks available, everything is perfect for spending a half-day
A great experience if you want to see Crete from a different perspective. I can wholeheartedly recommend it
An unforgettable experience! If you love Crete and the sea, you absolutely must rent a boat from Mirabello Boats. Great briefing by the team and then we started: a bit excited at first, because strong waves, more and more secure over time, a lot of fun! Even anchoring in a beautiful bay worked great thanks to my mate 😉 despite the wind. The four hours were over far too quickly - we will be back! Highly recommended!
Friendly people who work there.. You get an app on your phone with a map where you can sail past.. very clear.. we sailed to the first beautiful spot and there the anchor and go swimming and snorkeling.. beautiful clear water... the trip there is quite undulating but certainly doable.. No license required... but smartphone with enough battery.
Great time with family! Very professional team and special mention for Yance who briefed us well and gave us good deals in the area! We recommend +++
Good quality boat very suitable Easy and excellent route Very friendly and professional training staff
Boat was in top condition everything on board, snorkels, drinks, tap water to rinse off. 30hp without a license. Friendly and very helpful staff
What a nice experience! Welcome, explanation and material all in perfect order! 😍 Highly recommended for those who want to pilot a boat as a “captain”, we had a bit of wind and wild waves that day, but everything went fine. We will go back next year for this trip by boat 👌
The team is very friendly, accommodating, and gives good advice. The boats are nice. There is everything you need on board: snorkeling mask, drinks, Bluetooth speaker and even something to rinse with clean water. The spots are magnificent and we had the chance to sail alone on the Mediterranean as we were out of season. We recommend this experience 100%.
A boat tour is fun. If you drive yourself, you will receive good instructions, as the harbor is a bit tricky. The boats are modern and allow you to go a bit faster on the sea.
Top team! Kindness and warm welcome! We loved it and will return to see Georges and his team with great pleasure!
Very friendly & helpful people and a well-kept beautiful boat that we could rent. We got a clear explanation beforehand. (Demo round boating)
Today had a super day on the Protagon 20 with a Mercury 150 hp🤩 enthusiastic and professional owner gave us the instruction and we could freely go out to sea, around the island for Agios Nikolaos. The boat was very good and sailed great, especially for repeat! See you next time!
Boat is super neat and well maintained, we had a nice afternoon and there is a lot to see from the water, a disadvantage is that there are actually no beaches where you can sail, so groups with more than 7 people can not easily change, you can moor as much as you want at the landlord, there is only little hospitality there.
We rented a beautiful Poseidon, without a license. Welcoming is friendly and efficient. The app to be guided safely is quickly installed. And here we go for 4 hours of a family outing (5) to some beautiful spots to snorkeller. And what a pleasure to be at the helm qd the waves are getting stronger...
