Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

If you want to spend time in good company, such a cruise is just for you. Two very nice people willing to have an interesting chat, and at the same time very professional in their work, will surely fill your whole day in such a way that you will not have time to think about boredom. I can recommend their cruises to anyone who likes the sea, sailing, swimming and good food, because none of these things is missing on such a cruise. If we ever visit Crete again, we will definitely use such a cruise again.

We booked a day of sailing on this beautiful 47 feet sail boat. A little hesitant on the booking and deposit request via wire transfer, but the company is legit and everything worked out perfectly! Annie worked with us and agreed to pay the full amount on board. We had a wonderful time on a private sailboat, sailing the bluest turquoise water you can imagine! Sailed to several secluded beaches and caves on the South Crete. One of the highlights of our trip!

Looking back at 2019, the holidays in Crete and the weekend to Gavdos with Christos and Annie, was definitily one of the top experiences of the year. The island is beautiful. Perfect beaches with clear water. Amazing trip with a nice sailing yacht. I felt comfortable with your company and had the chance to relax. Special tip the fresh fish. Thank you Christos and Annie. Highly recommended.

Our boat trip to southern Crete was the highlight of our vacation, a day we'll cherish for a long time! Christos and Annie made sure we felt completely comfortable and safe throughout the journey. We explored stunning, secluded beaches that we would have never discovered on our own. On top of that, we learned so much about the area and even picked up a few sailing tips! *****

Perfectly designed and executed custom made sailing trip for our group. Skipper Christos is a master at sea while our hostess Annie is very friendly, both creating a safe and relaxing environment onboard. The area is second to none around the Mediterranean, wild shores, deep gorges and the bluest blue you can imagine! A total must, if you have the chance!

We had such a great time on our cruise with Annie and Christos. There were 5 of us in our group and we had plenty of room on the sailboat. Annie and Christos were very informative and made sure we were well taken care of. We loved seeing all the places that could only be reached by boat. And for course we felt very fortunate to be arriving on a private yacht sailboat. We were served snacks/drinks and had water noodles/masks and things needed to enjoy a day on the water.

We had an amazing day sailing in South Crete with Annie and Christos, the best day of our 2 week stay. This should be the only cruise you look at when considering your options, South Crete is beautiful, quiet and provides still waters for a magical day. We had the boat to ourselves and spent the day swimming, snorkelling and taking in the stunning landscape in crystal clear waters, even managed a cliff jump! Everything from the transfer to the delicious lunch and drinks all day was perfect. We can’t wait to sail again with Sailing South Crete.

It was an amazing day spent on board with Annie and Christos! They are both very experienced and friendly!
We visited the best beaches in sfakia which can be reached only by boat, and we had the opportunity to swim to crystal clear waters! We will definitely do it again!!

5 Stars all the way around. We did this day trip with a family of four (6 and 9.) We drove from the north of Crete (Georgioupoli) and took a little over the hour to get there and the drive was a trip in its own right. Up the mountains and right back down to the South Shore. We met Christos and Annie a little after 10am and they were ready to go right when we got there. Christos and Annie are a major reason for the 5-stars. Knowledgeable, super friendly and enjoyable to spend a day with.
We did about 4 or 5 stops throughout the day for amazing swims, snorkels and beach visits that you could not get to without a boat. The boat had all the drinks you would need and Annie and Christos made a fantastic Cretan lunch. Highly recommend.
