Does the beauty of the Cretan sea captivate you? Are you perhaps enamored with the long, vivid history of the island and Greece?

It is a chance you should not waste. Take a trip with us aboard one of our luxurious yachts, enjoy all the land and sea have to offer, and make memories that will stay with you forever.
Balos beach is truly an incredible destination to visit. The blue lagoon is a stunning place, with smooth white sand and crystal-clear waters creating a magical vision, straight out of a fairy tale. And of course, no fairy tale land is complete without a castle. Looking over the island of Gramvousa is an old Venetian fort, guardian, and watchman of the area for centuries.
So take a boat trip to Balos and discover these wonders for yourself.
Feel the sun’s kiss and the caress of the sea breeze as you lie on Balos beach, swim through its beautiful waters and tame the waves in a wild ride, snorkel to its depths and discover its reef and the shipwreck it hides or gaze at the horizon where the blue seas and skies of Greece meet. This private boat trip is not just about sailing but also about experiencing the beauty of Gramvousa firsthand.
Then travel through time as you explore the island’s monuments. Take a look at the chapel of Saint George and pay your respects at the nearby cave, where many mothers and their children, seeking shelter, found their end at the hands of the Turks. Visit the old Orthodox church by the seaside and walk along the path to the castle, headquarters of the rebels during Crete’s 1821 uprising and later pirate base.
Finish this journey through Crete’s nature and history at Gramvousa’s highest point, where you can gaze upon Balos beach and the nearby Antikythera and Wild Gramvousa islands, taking in the breathtaking vista. It is a view sure to stay with you for years to come.
