All of our trips offer free, good quality, snorkelling equipment both for adults and for children.We believe we offer the best snorkelling, swimming, sun-bathing, and a boat ride all made extremely good fun with the expertise and experience of Captain Nick. Added to all this is the 'glass bottom' feature which we have not been slow in having great fun with. « less

“All Aboard the Aphrodite”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 May 2012

We took a one hour trip on Captain Nick's boat while in Chania. Nick kept everyone on board entertained and engaged throughout. We headed out to the island of Lazaretta where Nick dived in and fed the fish to bring them under the glass bottom and then sought out an octopus to bring back to the boat. Everyone was welcome...

“Simply Amazing!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 May 2012

I guarantee you will not regret going out with cpt Nick. He is amazing and the trip gives you a spectacular view of the city of Chania. 10 euros for one hour of entertainment is well worth it. Wear your swimming suit so you can take advantage of the free snorkeling in Mediterranean sea! More

So here I am,back at my favourite holiday destination,Chania,Crete and top of my "to do" list is out with captain Nick on his glass bottom boat,Aphrodite.

We are a family of two adults and four kids, their ages from 12 to 17. We are not ones for laying on the beach for a fortnight but like to intersperse our days with activities. We did the lot from go karting, the little train, the water park, the botanical gardens (which were surprisingly good), a day over in... More

If I could give this guy 20 out of 10 I would! We had an absolutely wonderful time with Captain Nick, the only problem for us it was October and the trip was too short, only one hour. He took us to a little island and fed the fish under the glass, there were loads of little fish to see... More

Whatever you do, don't waste your time, money, or quite possibly your lunch on a ride on the glass bottom boats in the Chania Town Little Venice area. They are a total rip off! It probably didn't help either that it was windy and the sea was choppy, but when you get out to the island, you see nothing but... More
