Crete Private cruise with a Luxurious Azimut 42 to Spinaloga islands

Looking for the most unforgettable way to explore Crete? Step on board the luxurious Azimut 42 and cruise from Agios Nikolaos through the crystal-clear waters of the Elounda Gulf to the legendary island of Spinalonga. This is not just a boat trip — it’s an immersive, private Cretan experience that combines natural beauty, cultural discovery, and complete relaxation.

The day begins with a warm welcome and a traditional homemade Cretan treat, offering a taste of local hospitality before you set sail. Every detail of the cruise is designed around your preferences — whether you want to follow a curated route or tailor the day to your own rhythm.

Sail past the seal cave near the serene wetlands of the Almyros River, then head to Agioi Pantes Island, home to rare Cretan kri-kri goats and a quiet sandy beach perfect for swimming. Discover the sunken city of ancient Olous, where ruins lie just beneath the surface, ideal for snorkeling and underwater exploration. Cruise further to Kolokytha and Bird Island, where vibrant marine life and peaceful coves invite you to dive, swim, or simply soak in the views.

Midway through the journey, enjoy a homemade traditional Cretan meal on the secluded Agios Fokas Island, where you can walk to a restored Byzantine church accessible only by boat. Next, enter the famous cave once used by pirate Barbarossa to hide his ship and treasure — a narrow but breathtaking location perfect for unique photos and exploration. Continue to the turquoise waters of Krios Bay, a tranquil spot ideal for more swimming and diving.

At the northernmost point of Crete, you’ll pass by Agios Ioannis Cap and its historic lighthouse before circling the island of Spinalonga. Step ashore and discover the remains of Venetian fortifications, Ottoman dwellings, and a touching piece of local history. To end the experience, visit the picturesque fishing village of Plaka, where fresh seafood and local wine await — the perfect conclusion to an unforgettable day at sea.

Whether you’re dreaming of a romantic escape, a family adventure, or a relaxing day with friends, this private yacht cruise aboard the Azimut 42 offers a one-of-a-kind way to experience the soul of Crete from the water.
