This was an absolute highlight of our family trip (4 adults) to Crete this summer! The catamaran, Karina, was fantastic-modern, really well equipped and spacious. We were fortunate enough to have a very calm evening for our cruise, although this did mean that we weren’t able to use the sails this time. What made the cruise so special was the crew, all of whom were friendly and attentive, ensuring that everyone had their drinks topped up and preparing an attractive finger buffet for us to enjoy after our swim stop. They created a good vibe on board without it feeling too rowdy. Another reason why we enjoyed the cruise so much was that they did not have too many people on board (they were probably about 20 of us at most with a good mix of ages ). This meant that everyone could get a really good spot of choice on the catamaran for the journey to our swim stop and back to Rethmyno. The captain anchored us near a lovely bay for our 30 minute swim stop and the boat was well equipped with inflatables and paddle boards. All in all, this trip was excellent value for money (nearly half the price of identical trip offered by our holiday tour operator) and I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Rethmyno.
