EXCELLENT Based on 88 reviews Posted on Google Anna Holdren02/06/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 1 million stars. Family owned and operated. We were recommended this service by friends who came to Crete last year. My husband and I chartered the catamaran just the two of us. Nikos was friendly and communicative from our first WhatsApp message. The lunch spread was divine and he took us to incredible spots. I would come back to Crete just to take this tour again.Posted on Google Andy Lockwood28/05/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a lovely day with Nicos and Alex on a private family charter. They were friendly and relaxed, knew good places to stop for a swim. Plenty of drinks and snacks and a good lunch. Perfect sized boat (39 foot catamaran).Posted on Google vanessalz s24/10/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Le capitaine du jour, Alex, était professionnel et très accueillant. La sortie vers l'île de Krikri nous a fait passer un bon moment entre la vue et les baignades. Le bateau était impeccable, rien a dire en terme d'entretien et de tenu. Je recommande sans hésiter pour une sortie en mer.Posted on Google Kathleen Reid18/10/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent experience, first class service, boat and trip. Myself along with three friends took a private hire with Notos and it was a fantastic day out. We chose the catamaran. It was beautiful, spacious and very stable and smooth for anyone who is uncertain on sailing boats. Our captain Nikos, was the perfect host, attentive, informative and very kind. He also introduced us all to a sup which he has and is free to use. We had such fun, it was hilarious! We spent more time falling off it than standing on it which is more difficult than it looks until you find your balance. Sit on it! It's much easier! Our friend Alison was the most successful, she mastered it! I highly recommend Notos. Personal service and a beautiful boat, you won't be disappointed. Thank you captain from all of us.Posted on Google Argyro Droumpaki16/10/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Μια εμπειρία που θα μας μείνει αξέχαστη !! Ο Οκτώβρης στα Χανιά ήταν μαγικός με το καταμαράν του Notos Sailing. Ο καπετάνιος Νίκος φιλόξενος, ευγενικός και πάντα χαμογελαστός, μας έκανε να νιώσουμε άνετα από την πρώτη στιγμή. Όλα ήταν άψογα – από τη διαδρομή, μέχρι την ατμόσφαιρα πάνω στο σκάφος. Το συστήνω ανεπιφύλακτα !! An unforgettable sailing experience An experience we will never forget !! October in Chania was magical with Notos Sailing’s catamaran. Captain Nikos was welcoming, kind, and always smiling, making us feel comfortable from the very first moment. Everything was perfect – from the route to the atmosphere on board. Highly recommended !!Posted on Google Brooks Lambert-Sluder13/10/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ten out of ten. Loved this - we booked a day sail with captain Nikos. It was two of us (husband and wife) and that was absolutely perfect. We had a few stops for snorkeling and swimming, and Nikos provided plenty of wine, water, and a delicious and filling light lunch. The stand up paddleboarding is also an option, or as we know it better, fall down paddleboarding. Ahead of time, I truly thought I would get tired of swimming at each spot - but I didn't!Posted on Google Ben Thompson25/09/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

At Notos Sailing we believe the most memorable journeys are those that feel as if they were designed for you alone. That’s why each cruise begins with a conversation—your favourite pace, your must-see coves, the food and music you love. From there, our RYA-certified skipper and onboard host craft a route that traces Chania’s secret coastline rather than the standard tourist loop, pairing crystal waters with Cretan flavours and unhurried sailing.
Let the Aegean breeze carry you from the stone walls of Chania’s Venetian harbour to waters so clear they turn the hull into a shadow. Sailing past Lazaretta Islet, the wild cliffs of Theodorou and the untouched coves of the Rodopou peninsula, every tack reveals a new palette of emerald and cobalt. Dolphins often escort the bow, local mezze lands on the teak table, and the White Mountains fade into soft-gold horizons—all part of a private sailing experience in Chania where sea, sky and silence meet. Moments, not timetables, define the voyage.
