Sunset Catamaran Cruise from Heraklion to Dia Island with Sushi & Open Bar (4 Hours)

This cruise departs from Heraklion Port each afternoon aboard a Fountaine Pajot 41 catamaran, carrying a maximum of 14 guests to Dia Island — an uninhabited natural reserve protected under Natura 2000. The standard departure time is 16:30, arriving back at port by 20:30. Note that from 1 April to 14 April, and from 1 September to 31 October, all departures shift 30 minutes earlier to align with the earlier sunset. Guests board to a welcome glass of Prosecco and Mediterranean finger foods. The catamaran has open sunbeds and shaded lounge areas so you can find a comfortable spot for the roughly 70-minute sail out to Dia Island. Once anchored in the bay, the crew sets out stand-up paddleboards, snorkeling masks and fins, swim vests, inflatable noodles, and a pink flamingo float. A gentle fishing set is also available on board. After time in the water, a platter of fresh sushi rolls and seasonal fruit is served on deck, alongside the open bar: local white wine, Greek beer, soft drinks, espresso, tea, and detox water. Children get custom chicken bao buns in place of sushi. The return leg to Heraklion faces west and typically catches the full sunset over open water. The boat is equipped with free Wi-Fi, a music system, marine WCs, and an outdoor freshwater shower. Full liability insurance is included. Port authority regulations require each passenger's full name, date of birth, passport or ID number, and nationality at the time of booking. Guests arriving independently must be at the meeting point at least 20 minutes before departure; late arrivals forfeit their tickets. Hotel transfers are not included in the standard price but can be arranged on request.
