Brilliant experience from start to finish. Would recommend this to anyone who is able to get to Heraklion. Our skippers - Nansy and Marinela - were perfect and made the day go from a 10/10 to a 12/10. We could not thank them enough. Was the best day and we'll remember it forever.

We were a party of 6 on the beautiful Elan 37 yacht sailing to St George’s Bay. Our skipper Bill and his first mate Marinella made us very welcome. We all felt very comfortable on the yacht and had a lovely motor sail across to the island with lots of interesting information about the local area and the Greek mythology surrounding it. We anchored in St Georges Bay and went snorkelling using the equipment provided. We then had some lovely food, soft drinks and wine before setting sail back to Heraklion port. We had a fantastic afternoon and can recommend Sailingtrips without hesitation.

Tolle Segelboottour am Nachmittag zur Insel Dia. Wir (5 Erwachsene, ~30 Jahre) haben uns für die private Tour entschieden und würden es wieder so machen. Trotz höherem Wellengangs haben wir uns zu jedem Zeitpunkt sehr sicher gefühlt. Die beiden Skipper waren klasse! Die Tour ging pünktlich los und die Skipper und Boote waren klar zu erkennen. Angekommen an der Insel hatten wir ca. 2 Stunden Zeit zum Snorcheln, Insel erkunden und Relaxen auf dem Boot. Ein großer Obstteller wurde für uns zubereitet und Weißwein gab es auch. Insgesamt ein wirklich toller Ausflug.
