My partner and I rented the boat for the afternoon, we had a great time. Everything was in superb condition, the staff were really friendly and instructions were very clear. We found anchoring a little difficult (due to our inexperience) but after a few tries we got the hang of it. We stopped by the nearby islands recommended by the instructor which was amazing! The cost was fair for the rental and the fuel. We're always wary of any vehicle rental when on holiday or in a touristy area, but our experience with Sea Adventure was excellent. I would definitely recommend them and the experience was so worthwhile I would 100% do it again if I came back to Chania!

The area might be intimidating at first due to the high and rocky coastline, but there is nothing to be scared of. There are lots of nice places where you can enjoy the view and the water. Athina will tell you all the good places.

Run by a nice family business. The boat was good and big. If it’s windy you can stay more in the bay. There’s a military harbour and you can see aircraft carriers in the morning. The water has a nice colour.
