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.

Whilst visiting Chania, we stumbled upon this fantastic boat trip. Nick is extremely charismatic, lots of fun and allows passengers to steer the boat. Obviously, the boat is a glass bottom one, but Nick dived into the sea to try to find an octopus. Beautiful views, knowledgeable crew and on board drinks make this a must do in Chania. More

Aboard the glass bottom boat, Aphrodite, Captain Nick was personable and welcomed everyone on board for a glass bottom boat tour. The scenic view of Venetian Harbor was very memorable and picturesque. Captain Nick was extremely knowledgeable and dedicated to ensuring each passenger was safe and entertained. Our first site was around the protected Island of Thodorou; home of the... More

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...

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

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

Thank you Tina B for your e-mails and your booking ... we very much look forward to seeing you and your family again and welcoming you aboard.
