Excellent trip from Manos and his assistant Agellos. I know it's not all plain sailing, lots of bills and expenditure involved I'm sure but you can see how much they care about the customers, the boat and the environment in which they operate. Lots of interesting information along the way. The price includes a simple sandwich and juice drink along with a shot of Raki at the end of the trip as a celebration. Amazing value for money considering the costs involved. I will most definitely recommend to anybody looking for a pleasant and relaxing mini cruise around the local islands for snorkeling (snorkels are provided), swimming and sunbathing.

Wonderful crew, very attentive to everyone’s needs/requests/questions. Shared history, a light lunch and 3 snorkel stops. Highly recommend them. Very friendly and it is obvious they care about safety and enjoyment of those onboard. Very good value as well.

Forget the rest - book the best. A brilliant boat trip with 3 swimming stops. Very kind, friendly and informative crew. Beautiful boat - we had a really great time. Thanks Manos

We did the hour sunset cruise. Worth every penny. Great crew, told us about history of the harbour. Great sunset. Happy to take photos of us. Some swam off the boat. Highly recommended

Fabulous trip, Manos and team were so welcoming and attentive. Catered for nervous swimmers and sailors. Couldn’t recommend more highly and very rarely post reviews

The sunset cruise was excellent. We not only saw a perfect sunset, but also the rise of a harvest super moon over Chania. Great value for money.

We took the 4.5 hour cruise, which stops at 3 locations. We felt welcome on the boat - it felt like the crew was enjoying the experience as well as we were. The pacing of the trip was perfect with the stops being just right. It was a relaxing and enjoyable experience. The captain and first mate both came around to the passengers at the bow and stern to share historical information and relevant legends.

What a fantastic trip. We took the 4.5 hour trip to Aghii Theodori and Lazaretta on Manos' lovely traditional boat. He and his crew were very friendly and informative on the places we visited and very safety conscious. The snorkelling was good with clear water, they provided the mask and snorkels. A simple lunch of a sandwich and drink was provided

Oh my gosh, THIS WAS AN AMAZING DAY OUT. I am not a prolific reviewer but I have to let you know how good it is and get you to go. Manos and Allegos were outstanding guides and the boat was beautiful. The trip itself is so worth the money - We saw a SEA TURTLE and had three snorkel stops where the wildlife was amazing, fish everywhere. We booked direct with Manos Cruises as other sites said they were booked up. It was five euros more than “Get your guide” and I am glad as Manos’s company deserve all the money. I cannot recommend this day out enough. 10.45 - 15.15. TIP - sunscreen and more sunscreen. Cater for reapplying on a choppy boat with salty bodies - it is a must. We are now a family of “squashems!”

We booked the 4.5 hour trip through the website, which was really easy to do. The day out itself was fantastic from start to finish. The boat is lovely and comfortable, very clean and well maintained. I think there were about 25 people on the boat but there was plenty of room for us all. Manos and Aggelos were superb hosts and looked after us all so well. They were so friendly and informative throughout the whole trip. There was plenty of time allowed for swimming and snorkeling and we were provided with everything we needed. The sandwich and raki were very nice too. Overall, excellent value and we were all really glad we had booked this fabulous day out.

This boat cruise was so much fun, the workers were fantastic and shared such engaging historical stories! The views were gorgeous and we got to go swimming in the sea! Always fun!

Amazing day out and at a very reasonable price. So glad we came out. The captain and his crew are really hospitable and they went above and beyond looking after us and our five year old.

A really lovely trip that took in plenty of time out for swimming at both stops off the islands of Agioi Theodora & Lazareta. Manos and crewhand were incredibly polite and provided plenty of information and history about both islands and Crete in general....it was very informative. The boat is very well kept and was not at all overcrowded which made it easy to move around the deck and enjoy the unbelievable views. I very small lunch was provided with soft drinks and water as part of the price. For €25 per person - the value for money is excellent. We we're dropped off on time at 3:15pm and took advantage of the local bars/restaurants on the quayside for drinks and food. 10 out of 10

We went on both the 4.5 hour tour with 3 swim stops and the sunset cruise with optional swimming. Both Manos and Aggelos were fantastic, very kind and the experience we had on the first trip is what inspired us to book the sunset cruise. The swim stops were well organised and great locations. The sandwiches and drinks were lovely, even the Raki was drinkable. If you ever want to get a great holiday photo the sunset cruise is the one and Aggelos is a fantastic photographer, we got some great snaps. Definitely recommend.

We were a Family of four,the trip was very good. Manos and Aggelos are very friendly and they look after everyone. Nice snack,nice swimming stops and we love the option that we have in lazaretto island to trnsfer our things and our children to the beach. We definitely recommend.
