Chrissi Island Afternoon Catamaran Cruise from Ierapetra – 5 Hours

This afternoon cruise leaves Ierapetra Marina at 15:30 and heads south across the Libyan Sea to Chrissi Island — a protected Natura 2000 reserve roughly 12 nautical miles offshore. The island is known for its cedar forest, pale sand beaches, and shallow turquoise water. Arriving in the afternoon means fewer day-trippers have left the crowds behind on morning boats. The catamaran carries a maximum of 20 guests in a semi-private setting with premium sunbeds and shaded lounge areas. On the sail out, the crew serves welcome drinks including espresso, detox water, and teas. Once anchored at the island, guests can swim, snorkel with provided masks and fins, use the stand-up paddleboards, or drift on the inflatable flamingo float. Gentle fishing gear is also available. At 18:00 a full lunch is served on board. The menu is designed by a certified nutritionist using organic, farm-fresh ingredients and follows a Mediterranean-Cretan style. Vegetarian and children's options are available on request. The open bar runs throughout the trip and includes local white wine, Greek beer, soft drinks, and water. Seasonal dessert and light protein snacks are also served. The boat returns to Ierapetra Marina by 20:30. Note: between 1–14 April and 1 September–31 October, all departures shift 30 minutes earlier to align with the shorter daylight hours. Guests with mobility limitations, pregnant women, children under 2, and those prone to severe seasickness are advised not to book this tour. Port regulations require full passenger details (name, date of birth, passport or ID number, nationality) at the time of booking, and the vessel cannot wait for late arrivals.
