Amazing booking and experience
Magda was the best! We arrived early and our boat wasn’t quite ready so she gave us a tour of the surrounding city and it was wonderful!! She’s so kind and easy to talk to. I’d recommend her every time!!

Superb
Writing this review on the sunbed day after the trip reflecting. Magda arranged prompt on time pick up from our hotel really nice transport called to to check we were in the transport. Got greeted at the port with a hug and welcome infectious smile. The sailing boat was pristine clean and luxurious. Captain nickos and first mate helen were so professional welcoming and catered for our every need advised of safety and couldnt do enough for us. Felt so safe in their hands. Drinks were served and sailing away to dia island, anchored up enjoyed a swim in the Crystal clear water snorkels and floats provided. Then the most amazing banquet was served crispy chicken spaghetti pesto/tatziki salad breads followed by a beautiful anniversary cake in the most beautiful setting and senary you could imagine. The captain popped a bottle of prossecco for us. Fed some fish followed by watching the sunset on the sea. The hospitailty was spot on and the best boat trip we have ever been on they made us feel like celebrities. 100% will always do these sort if trips again. Not 1 thing i could even try to fault. Most magical day and memory on holiday we could have had. Thank you so much
Response from the operator: Thank-you Means the world to all of us ! Hope we have you again back to our island in the near future.

FABULOUS & LOCAL!
Where to even begin! This was a beautiful, seamless, and breathtaking experience. From the communication in advance to be sure the food was enjoyable and transportation was easy, to the customer service, and more, this was a noteworthy time. We’ve taken boat rides and had similar experiences, which were all fabulous, but the way this team makes you feel in real time is as if you are the only people in the world who matter. Our car service was sharp and on time from our hotel to the marina. The staff met us at the car when we pulled up, instantly gave us hugs, welcomed us with local coffee, and brought us out to the boat. We met the captain and co-captain who thoroughly explained the sailing experience, recommended where to sit on the boat, and shared bits of history and stories along the way. When we arrived to what felt like a secret location, we had the choice of two areas - more boats or less. As we got ready to swim, dive off the boat, and more, the team made lunch. Lunch was AMAZING. When it was time to eat, the shared stories about local ingredients, we got to grind the oregano, learned about culture, and more. We ate until we simply couldn’t go any further. The wine was poured all ride. The care of the team was lovely. The food was so good and filling. The staff knew everyone around and were very well respected. The experience we absolutely beautiful. Thank you to the team!!!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much ❤️

perfect and idyllic!
We went as a group of 8 and had a fantastic time. The crew was very nice and welcoming, they served amazing fresh food and took us to the beautiful Dia Island. There is a speaker on board for you to play your own music and plenty of time to get into the sea there. There was not a ton of space for sunbathing on the deck, however with all the activities they provide we didn't miss it. The boat journey itself was very unique and masterful sailing - definitely an experience to book!!

Dias island boat trip
What an expectational experience from magda, Manos and Stavros. Myself and family couldn’t thank you all enough for the most amazing day. From the stunning views to the most delicious food and even better company. Thank you for keeping our very young children both engaged and entertained. We loved every moment. Magda made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable I felt at complete ease. She arranged pick up drop offs which made everything run smoothly. Thank you so much. We will definitely see you guys soon.

Private luxury Escape free drinks & Meals Cruise: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Heraklion.
How much does Private luxury Escape free drinks & Meals Cruise cost?
+
Prices start at $1,028 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Heraklion usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private luxury Escape free drinks & Meals Cruise take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Heraklion is not rushed.
Is Private luxury Escape free drinks & Meals Cruise worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 22 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Heraklion, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private luxury Escape free drinks & Meals Cruise?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private luxury Escape free drinks & Meals Cruise suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private luxury Escape free drinks & Meals Cruise?
+
Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Heraklion can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Heraklion and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private luxury Escape free drinks & Meals Cruise start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Heraklion within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Heraklion?
+
On Outty we rank every Heraklion experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Knossos - Zeus Cave - Old Traditional Villages-Olive Oil Factory, Knossos & Lasithi Plateau: Zeus Cave, Villages, Olive Oil Tour, Quad Safari: Off-Road Day Tour with Dinner & Transfers. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Heraklion?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Heraklion?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

Not included: Gratuities; Premium alcoholic drinks, can be reserved after comunication with our team; Cakes or special occasions requests please contact us; and Private transportation.

+

What languages is Private luxury Escape free drinks & Meals Cruise offered in?
+
