This 6.5-hour morning cruise runs daily from Panormo Port on Crete's northern coast. The vessel is a modern luxury catamaran with wide front decks, sunbeds, and shaded lounges. Maximum group size is 20 guests, keeping the atmosphere closer to a private charter than a large group tour.
Guests board at 09:30 and are greeted with fresh espresso, detox water, and a nutritionist-designed healthy brunch bowl before the boat sets off along the rocky northern coastline. The destination is Bali Bay, a sheltered bay roughly an hour away. Once anchored, the crew sets up snorkeling gear, stand-up paddleboards, a pink flamingo float, inflatable noodles, and a gentle fishing setup. The snorkeling site includes rocky reefs, seagrass meadows, and underwater statues, and sea turtle sightings are possible.
At 13:00 a gourmet Cretan lunch is served on board. The menu is crafted by a certified nutritionist using organic, locally sourced ingredients. Vegetarian and children's options are available on request. The open bar runs throughout the cruise and includes local white wine, cold Greek beer, soft drinks, still water, espresso, teas, and protein cocktails. Premium cocktails and spirits beyond this selection are not included.
The cruise is weather-dependent and may be rescheduled if sea conditions are poor. Every passenger must provide full name, date of birth, passport or ID number, and nationality at booking to comply with port authority regulations. Guests arriving late forfeit their tickets, as the vessel cannot delay departure. The cruise is not suitable for pregnant women, children under 2 years old, guests prone to severe seasickness, or guests with serious mobility limitations.
