Heraklion to Dia Island Afternoon Catamaran Cruise with Sunset & Dinner

4.8 (30+ reviews)5hEasyEnglish, GreekFamily friendlyInstant confirmationPrivate option available

This afternoon cruise departs Heraklion Port and heads to Dia Island, a protected Natura 2000 site roughly 8 nautical miles offshore. The catamaran is a Lagoon 450F with wide sundecks, shaded lounges, onboard Wi-Fi, freshwater shower, and marine WCs. Maximum 20 guests keeps the atmosphere semi-private. Once anchored in the bay, guests can use the inflatable water slide, sea scooter, kayak, stand-up paddleboards, and snorkeling masks and fins. Swimming jackets and inflatable noodles are available. A gentle fishing set is also on board. The crew serves welcome drinks — espresso, detox water, teas — and light snacks from the moment you board. Dinner is served while the boat is still anchored, before the return sail begins. The menu is designed by a certified nutritionist using organic, locally sourced ingredients from a Cretan farm. Vegetarian and children's options are available on request. The open bar runs throughout: local white wine, beer, soft drinks, and bottled water are unlimited. Premium cocktails and spirits beyond the standard selection are not included. The return sail begins after dinner and heads directly toward the setting sun. Arrival back at Heraklion Port marks the end of the cruise. Note: between 1–14 April and 1 September–31 October, all departures shift 30 minutes earlier to align with the earlier sunset. Guests without transfers should arrive at the port 20 minutes before departure; the boat cannot delay due to port regulations. Port police clearance requires each passenger's full name, date of birth, passport or ID number, and nationality at the time of booking.
