Private Boat Tours from Elounda, Crete

Your own skipper, your own schedule. Explore Spinalonga Island, Kolokitha Beach and the stunning Mirabello Bay on a private Elounda boat tour.

⚓ Skipper Included 🏛️ Spinalonga Boat Trip 👥 Up to 7 Guests From €130

No experience needed — your skipper handles everything. Sit back, relax and enjoy the views while our local expert navigates you to the most beautiful spots along the Elounda coastline. No license, no stress.

A Fully Guided Day on the Aegean

Our Private Boat Trip is the perfect way to see the very best of Elounda Bay without any of the effort. You choose when you leave and where you want to go — we provide the powerful 240 HP Mariah speedboat, the local knowledge, and an experienced skipper who knows every hidden cove, swimming spot and photo opportunity along the way.

Cruise across glittering turquoise water to Spinalonga Island, the iconic Venetian fortress and former leper colony made famous by the novel "The Island." Anchor off Kolokitha for a swim in crystal-clear water so clear you can see the seabed. Snorkel over the sunken ruins of ancient Olous. Eat lunch on a quiet beach that most tourists never find.

Whether you're celebrating a honeymoon, enjoying a family day out, or simply want a premium Cretan experience, this trip adapts to you. Families with young children, groups of friends, couples — all are equally at home on board.
