This sailing excursion is wonderful and was a highlight of the trip. It is a wonderful ~6 hour experience that wanders out of the Chania port (easy to get a bus from town to the harbor and back).
Nikos was very welcoming and professional as the boat captain. If the weather looks poor on a given day, he is happy to move the excursion to another day. The views as you sail around the bay are magical with clear waters and an endless horizon out to sea. It was a bit too cold in the water to swim too much in early May, but I would have not chosen another time as the out of water weather would have been oppressive. Nikos was kind enough to teach us a bit about sailing as well.
The lunch that Nikos makes at the mid-point of the voyage is wonderful, including some of the best olives we've ever had.
I absolutely recommend this experience as a fun experience for couples or families.
