“My boyfriend and I did this cruise tour at the end of April and overall had a great experience. Although it was extremely windy, a bit cold, and rainy at times, the crew made sure everyone had plenty of wine and was having fun. (They also supplied blankets, if needed.) The barbecue dinner was delicious and my boyfriend was grateful for the vegetarian option.

The folks at DanEri Yachts were easy to work with and communicated clearly. We had no problem meeting up on the port side of the Marina Café in Heraklion for our sunset cruise. The hosts were polite and gracious with drinks (juice, wine, etc.) and a spread of snacks (fresh fruit, chicken nuggets, cheese, breadsticks, charcuterie, etc.).
