About the operator
- irisho201400A perfect day!A fantastic full day exploring between Kolymari and Falassarna. Along the way we stopped at Caves, Balos, Menies, Gramavousa and lots more hidden beaches which our great Captain Gregory allowed us the privilege of visiting- ach one better than the last. This was a really memorable day. Boat was super comfortable and nothing was too much trouble for Gregory who went out of his way so many times during the day to make it special. As well as super food arranged by Seaze the Day he brought his own additions- homemade tomato tapenade and his Dad's melon. This really was a first class trip and excellent operation. Felt totally safe always and three very impressed teenagers also which is no nean feat! We left at 9am and really liked the fact Gregory was in no rush back - although not cheap this was really good value given the experience which we couldn't rate highly enough. While the places we visited were spectacular it is people who ultimately make trips truly memorable and that's what Gregory added. Efharisto.
- Ctsiak1300AmazingAn excellent experience and very nicely and helpful captain 🙏🙏🙏🙏!!!!tottaly recommend!!!we will definitely do it again!!!
- caterinabrogi7900Amazing!!! Kissamos - Balos - Gramvousa - 6 Hours - Agia SofiaWe reserved a boat to go to Balos and Gramvousa from Kissamos. We had a really great time and our Captain was amazing! Thank you so much!!!
- 946ceciliew00Great private boat tripWe had an amazing trip with a very professional and kind captain. We had so much fun in big waves, beautiful scenary and great food
- johnkW68CT00Awesome trip!I had a fantastic time spearfishing with Panos and Sotiris! They are skilled and knowledgeable divers. The water was crystal clear. I would definitely spearfish with them again!
- CHARLESB381900Amazing Day On The Water Near ChaniaAn absolutely awesome conclusion to our beautiful stay in Chania. Panos from SEAze The Day boat charters was the perfect host & captain for our day on the water. What was originally scheduled as a quiet day of solo fishing evolved into a perfect mix of boat rides, island exploring, private beaches, and even some casual fishing. Panos & his 1st mate took great care of our little group, guiding us to a variety of sites around the Chania Bay area. He provided everything we could possibly want or need: excellent greek sandwiches & snacks, a variety of beverages, and included all necessary fishing equipment & bait. Obviously an experienced boat master, professional fisherman, & overall great host, Panos was a real treat & made our final day in Crete something special that we'll always remember!
- 753pearlg00Beautiful Balos beach boat tour!My luggage was lost by the airline and delivered 3 days later, hence I ended up booking this boat tour more last minute than I wanted to. We did a 10 meters private boat tour from Kissamos to Balos and Gramvousa. It was an hour drive to Kissamos from Chania, but we decided to drive instead of taking a private boat from Chania because the boat from Kissamos was cheaper, and Chania takes longer to get there, and we didn't want to spend 6-7 hours on the boat. The private tour was super last minute, and we had a wonderful time. We left around 9:30am and arrived before the crowds. Our first stop was Gramvousa. The skipper dropped us off and there were very few people, he asked us to snorkel around there which, frankly, is not a good idea. He even suggested that Balos is too crowded and we should consider swimming around Gramvousa which was not a good idea. Gramvousa is very rocky, and the rocks are slippery. I slipped on a mossy rock and fell hard, my leg is full of scratches and we got out of there. I could have broken something and thank God it was me and not my kids! It was so hot around 10:20am that we started to go up to the fort but couldn't do it in the scorching heat. We headed to Balos. We loved loved Balos! It was beautiful, the water was clear and warm, and so amazing. Sand was beautiful to play in. We didn't want to leave and could have easily spent a few more hours there! 1.5 hours was just too short. We could have totally skipped Gramvousa and just done Balos instead for the 3 hours. The big ships started coming in around 12 which changed the waves - the waves got more choppy and frequent and the beach started filling up. We left around 12:30pm. All in all it was a beautiful day and truly the highlight. My kids had fun on the sun bed during the ride back. Overall, our experience was positive. Regarding the skipper, I will say that he was more like a driver than a guide. His suggestion to stay in Gramvousa and avoid Balos wasn't a good one. Yes Balos is crowded, but if you go to beaches in NY, NJ, Brazil, etc., they are all much more crowded than Balos. You can avoid the crowds if you come in the morning. Some boats leave at 8:30am which gives you enough time to hang out there. He also didn't tell us anything, he just drove us there. He was super nice but I wish he had given us more information. However, we still had a wonderful time and were grateful to even find a boat in the morning last minute. I highly recommend doing Balos. We left at 12:30pm so maybe it would have gotten more crowded after, but when the crowds came in, the ferries and ships drop off people on different sides so there is quite a lot of room.
- mgeagles00Best experience in the islandsI don't think I can adequitly put into a review how fanastic this company and experience was. Our two captains were wonderful. They took us to beaches and locations you would not know about and could only reach by boat. The cooked us an amazing Greek lunch with ingrediants from their own families farm. They were so kind and knowledgable. Of all the things we did in our 10 days in the Greek islands, this was far and away the best experience. I could not recomend them more. Great communication throughout the process.
- W3989GEandrewm00Best part of my vacationHonestly the best experience I had on my whole vacation the men are so sweet, knowledgeable, and ready to make it feel like an adventure!!! 10/10 worth every penny, must do!!!!
- DebGlick00Best Beach Day! Highly recommend!This excursion far exceeded our expectations! Captain Sotiris was so helpful and friendly and made our day absolutely perfect! One of the kids got sick in the car on the way over and he was great he had extra towels for us and sea sick gum to the rescue! The boat ride there was so fun and the lagoon was calm and soft sand and crystal clear water! After swimming we had the best Greek salad sandwiches that everyone loved! He even took is to a plane wreck dive filled with colorful fish. After they helped us get taxis to get back to the cruise ship on time. We loved our day with Captain Sotiris and highly recommend for a fun family day on the water!
- VickyB137100All-in-one, unforgettable experience!An all-in-one experience, if you are looking for beautiful salty beaches, great culture, breathtaking landscapes and generous hospitality, all under the dazzling Greek sun. We had an unforgettable day!
- kostaskats9100100% five out of five starsWe took a boat trip in Crete recently with Seaze the Day and we couldn't believe how much fun we had! The crew was very kind and helpful. They really took good care of us. After scenic routes and a good swim we actually got to eat the fish we caught! I recommend this experience to everyone and will surely book again next year!
- brookekennedy00Memorable family day!Our family day on the Odysseus with Panos was a fantastic experience. We loved the opportunity to explore the private beaches and caves only accessible by boat on our way to visit the beautiful Balos beach. It was such a unique experience for our family to enjoy the beach, learn about spear fishing and enjoy a private dining experience on the fresh fish caught that afternoon on Gramvousa island. We enjoyed our day so much that we booked the next afternoon as well to explore more beautiful beaches and swimming holes such as Seitan Limania and Katholika Bay.
- georgegS4807PC00Perfect 10 boating experienceI'm writing first of all to say thanks again to the crew and staff from all of us. It was an epic experience! Gonna be back again in August for a repeat!!
- konstantinab4500Great experienceThe experience was more than great. The staff was very professional and polite. I highly recommend this excursion.

Yannis, our tour guide made this trip unforgettable. Private tour (three people) drinks and fruits included, we visited balos and gramvoussa outside the typically tourist hours and avoided crowded beaches. Very competent skipper and really nice guy to spent a day with ☺️

I have booked this trip for me and my couple (august 2022).
1. On the web the price was 480 but when you try to book it was already 580e.
2. I was desapointed when a saw the boat. very small and cheap for the price!!!
3. it says max 6 people. Comon!! on this boat 6 people?? Imposible!
4. The company must prepare the staff for nonstandart situation. It started raining a lot on the trip and the "driver" didn´t know what to do! He wanted to stay in the place under the rain instead of going away. We had to ask the guy to move from the rain.
5. The roof of the boat was not inpermeable (made of wet fabric) and we could not hide from the rain . We were under the roof and from the roof it was raining the same as from the sky. Not respectful at all to the clients.
In general the trip was very nice. We enjoy the time with the guy as well. Nice views, snorking. Just for me expencive.

Hello Anna !
Thank you for the review and feedback .
1. We do have a 2.5 hour trip that cost 480 euros so our prices start at 480 euros but you booked for a 4 hour trip where the price is higher . The price is shown before booking so you had picked the specific trip that cost 580 euros yourself we did not charge something you did not know from before .
2. The boat is a 7 meter boat and that is also indicated in our website and platforms so you already knew what you were getting .
3. The boat has a legal capacity given by the port authorities for 8 people
4. It is not usual to rain in August so we do not think it is necessary for the tent to be waterproof . As of the captain it was wise he did not move because moving in this weather is more dangerous due to thunders . You have to be close to the shore in case you have to get out of the boat fast . Our captains are very well trained and experienced drivers
I am sorry to hear you felt not respectful because you got wet from the rain but the captain did the right thing to stay where he was .
Though we will take all this under consideration
We hope to accommodate you again in different weather and climate conditions so you enjoy

My boat trip with Seazetheday to Balos beach was truly unforgettable. The crew was professional and passionate, ensuring our comfort and safety. The boat was elegant, offering stunning views. The itinerary showcased breathtaking landscapes and hidden gems. The personalized touch made us feel like locals. The culinary delights were exceptional. Highly recommended for a remarkable sea adventure in Crete.

We overslept and missed our boat tour to Balos beach that was set to depart at 10:30AM with another company. We called Seaze the Day and they were able to rapidly accommodate our request and have a private boat ready to depart a couple of hours later.
We then met up with captain Babis in Kissamos where we departed for the island of Granvousa and Balos beach. Captain Babis was extremely kind, and a great guide on our trip throughout the day. He was also very happy to provide refreshments and lunch on our journey.
I would recommend this excursion to any couple looking for a private boat experience out of Chania

We charted 2 RIBs with 1 skipper for the 6 hour trip to Balos and Gramvousa for 14 people (8 adults 6 children) from Kissamos Seasports. The RIBs were comfortable with good shade in the hot weather, fast, easy to maneuver and anchor close to the beaches. Mike the skipper was knowledgeable and informative. The trip itself is spectacular and thoroughly recommended. Sandra, who handles the bookings, is friendly and helpful and the price is very reasonable. Plenty of iced water provided, food BYO.

Reasonably pricey hence the 4 stars. Great captain, and lovely views. Lunch disappointing - a big bread roll with the thinnest slice of cheese - for £450, that was not great. Food can play a big part in the day of a teenager - seemed an afterthought.

We book the trip for 2 couples. The places they took us were amazing. The skipper was very good. But the main problem is that they allowed the trip on a day with orange alert wind and 3 m waves. The trip to Balos beach was incredible frightening and the trip back was absolutely horror. I started crying in the boat and I will have nightmares about this for a very long time!! The should have let us know about this and rescheduled it!!!!!!!

Hello !
Thank you for your feedback !
I am really sorry to hear you had a bad experience . If the port authorities allow us to travel we inform our guest the weather is bumpy and windy and if they prefer we reschedule or cancel. I am sure you were informed the night before in regards to the weather and if not you have the chance to tell the captain the day of the trip that you prefer not to go . If you had mentioned to the captain when you were there that you were scared he would have offered to reschedule or he would have brought you back . We offer to reschedule or cancel so it is usually up to the customer if they want to travel or not .
We get windy weather quite often this year and we have rescheduled and cancelled several other people in the past. I am not sure if there was a misunderstanding here .We accommodated you the best we could and I hope the bad review is not for the company but for the weather
Thank you

Seaze the Day was absolutely amazing. We lucked out and got Stelios as our captain for the day and he went above and beyond to make our excursion special. I booked the day-trip for my family on the boat and we were taken to Gramvousa Beach, Balos Beach, and he even took us to a secluded beach just for our enjoyment. He shared stories about his life growing up on Crete and shared fresh produce and cheese from his family’s farm. Not only was he our captain, but our chef, and photographer. We were able to snorkel, lounge, and swim as we wished. Can’t recommend this enough!!! You MUST do this if you are on Crete! Thank you Stelios for an unforgettable day!

Hi, we are looking for a day trip to this island on May 9,2021
We are 26 people, so we need 3 boats and we are looking to depart from Elounda. Please let me know how it will work best
Do you do a combination trip of fishing perhaps spear fishing or just bait type fishing with a trip to Balos and gramvousa? If so how much? We are a family of 4 and we are staying in Stalos. We do have a car so we can meet at the pick up point.
Thank you!
