This private Dia Island Boat Tour from Heraklion is made for travelers who want the speed and comfort of a motor yacht, without sharing the day with another group. You leave from Marina Rodias in Pantanassa, west of Heraklion, Crete, and cross the Cretan Sea on a Navan S30 motor yacht, built for smooth cruising, shaded lounging and relaxed time on deck.
During the 4.5 hour cruise, you visit two different bays on Dia Island. First comes Agrilia Bay, a quiet spot named after the wild olive trees that grow on the island. You can swim, use the snorkeling gear, try stand up paddleboarding, or stretch out with a cold drink while the yacht rests in the bay. Later, the route continues to St. George’s Bay, a natural harbour connected with the island’s ancient past, where you may spot marine life or fragments of old pottery beneath the water.
Your local skipper guides the route, handles the conditions and keeps the pace easy for your group. This is not a rushed transfer to Dia. It is a private Boat Tour with time to slow down, talk, swim, snack and enjoy Crete from the sea with local experts who know when to move, where to anchor and how to shape the cruise around the weather.
