My family had a fantastic and truly memorable boat trip with Sapphire Sea Tours which was a highlight of our holiday in Crete. Dimitris was responsive and helpful organising the trip and Manolis was the perfect skipper on the day. He made all of us - especially our two young children - feel at home and at ease and the day was unhurried, personal and relaxing. The stops showed Crete at its best and spotting octopus is something I will never forget. 100% recommend. It was worth every penny!

Thank you Manolis for an excellent day for the family and I. Excellent stops and conversation. Thank you for rearranging due to the bad weather. We will definitely look you up again if we are back in the area!
Best boat trip ever. Manolis gave us the most amazing views and bathing stops. And lots of drinks and snacks, was served on the boat.We are looking forward to our next boat trip with Manolis
Amazing outing with Dimitri. Took us to great spots for snorkeling while telling us about the maritime history of the bay. Would for sure recommend the sunset tour for a special evening.
The five of us had a fantastic 4 hour trip around Souda bay with skipper Stelios. We stopped at three secluded locations where we were free to snorkel and swim in crystal clear, warm water. Stelios was a charming host and went above and beyond, even diving in with us to help us spot octopus and point out different sea creatures! Trip also includes snacks and refreshments. Can’t think of many better ways to spend a morning.
It was really an amazing experience and memory in crete thanks to Dimitris and the special host, Natasha! Both were very kind. Especially, they kept checking on me if I was okay (even if I was wearing the life vest whole time :D) since they noticed that I was afraid of deep sea water. Everything was awesome and they made our great afternoon and evening ♡ I strongly recommend ppl to do this boat tour with "Sapphire sea tours"!! x1000000
A must do when visiting Chania, Crete! The customer service and professionalism is a true blessing to participate in. We had an extraordinary experience with Dimitris and we are going to be back for sure! The very best of the best!!
One of the best experiences in crete! We enjoyed our private tour so much and we will do it again for sure! The service was amazing and our captain,Dimitris, an excellent guide and more than a professional! He took us to unique spots that we wouldn't have been,if it wasn't Dimitris! He guaranteed our safety on board and our splendid day! Fully recommended!!
Excellent service from Dimitris, we booked a boat to rent ourselves but he contacted us and said the weather was unpredictable and came and took us himself so we were safe! Lovely guy nothing was too much trouble, we forgot a pair of flippers and he found us in a local restaurant afterwards to return them to us. Would recommend, definitely knows the sea around the bay!
Me and my girlfriend booked a private boat tour with Dimitris during our stay in Crete. From start to finish it was a wonderful experience!! Dimitris was an amazing guy with with an incredible knowledge of the area! He took us to multiple spots for swimming and snorkelling and many wonderful site seeing spots! The boat itself was lovely and spacious with seats in the shade and space for sunbathing at the front! Dimitris also supplied us with plenty of drinks of all varieties and some of the best Cretan pastries I’ve ever had!!! All in all it was a wonderful day and would 100% recommend to anyone!!
Our day trip with Sapphire Sea Tours was the highlight of our holiday!! We always felt safe and taken care of !! To all of the staff, thank you so much for the wonderful experience!
Had an amazing time yesterday with Dimitri. 4 hours on a boat and we went to 4 different stops, he was so knowledgeable and made us feel so relaxed and safe the whole time. Time for snorkelling, sunbathing, drinking and chatting. Dimitri took us to really quiet spots which were just beautiful. Couldn’t recommend this service enough - wish we could do it all again!
Super half day private cruise with Manolis. From initial contact with Dimitris it was clear that safety and our enjoyment was paramount as the weather had been pretty changeable with wind and thunderstorms. Luckily all was good on the day. Manolis brought us to four fabulous snorkelling stops and ensured we stopped in sheltered areas. It was a really relaxed, chilled out experience. Would highly recommend.
We went on a private tour with our 6-year old son. Dimitris & his team don’t take any risks and made us feel very at ease. We had a 🔝experience and have seen beautiful places. No rush whatsoever, just sit back & relax 😌 Highly recommend!!!
Dimitri was an experienced, friendly and knowledgeable skipper who made our tour interesting and fun. Told us about the history of the bay and info about sea life too..Took us to some beautiful swim spots. Manolis really helpful and friendly. We’d 100% recommend this private tour.
Really a great recommendation to use Sapphire Sea Tours for your next boat trip on Crete. Sapphire Sea Torus offers both boat rental with and without a skipper. We booked a boat with skipper Dimitris, who made sure we had a really great experience with plenty of snorkeling at small coves on Crete. Dimitris has extensive experience with sailing and diving/snorkeling and thus knows interesting places to experience from the sea side. Sapphire Sea Tours gets our warmest recommendation.
4 stops in wonderful places with a break in every place to be able to swim in crystal clear waters. Dimitri a great person
Great experience+++ Manoli, the boss is really nice, with little care. Speaks relatively good French+++ I strongly advise! Small mix between eye pleasure, softness of water (in the coves) and conviviality. Do not hesitate a second, it is really worth it!!!
