We had the best time on this boat trip to Gramvousa Island and Balos. Ariadne and Vasillis were great at ensuring we missed the crowds of tourists also visiting the same places and by making us feel so very welcome. The food and drink was plentiful and very tasty. The boat is great. We had a memorable day and I recommend without reservation.

Super day out on B-crew’s racing yacht , at Gramvousa and Balos. George and Tina were superb hosts but great compliments also to the famous grandmother who prepares the delicious food - restaurant quality, consumed on the yacht , moored at Gramvousa. Super helpful team who couldn’t do enough for their guests for the day. Thankyou Ariadne for the excellent comms, directions and arrangements. Will definitely seek to repeat the day if we are in W Crete again - we aim to be! Hope the new role goes well George!

We had the greatest of our time going to Balos Beach and exploring all the secret bays that you can only reach by boat, also avoiding the crowds. Ariadne and Vasilis were a very experienced crew with some races in their record as well. It was a pity weather was windy otherwise Vasilis would let us sail as well. Homemade food from Vasilis mother, authentic Cretan cuisine. Me and my best friend had an amazing time! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM. Whoever is going to Crete I’m giving them their contact!

like everyone else here, Ariadne and her son Niko exceeded our expectations. We chose a semi-private trip and so were on a waiting list until others signed up, but they let us know a few days in advance. We chose this not only as it was a sailboat, but for the service and food on board, homemade by Niko´s grandmother, was lovely,. They try so hard! It felt so VIP to be with them and enjoy Balos and Gramvousa. I would recommend it to anyone!

10/10 would recommend this cruise with Vasilis and Nikos! Friendly, polite, willing to help and explain guys. Would definitely go sailing again and if I ever do it again in Crete, that will be with Vasilis and his family! We visited 3 different locations but most importantly our cruise was arranged in that way to avoid the huge ferry crowds in Balos and Gramvousa. Thank you for everything and also giagia (grandma) for the delicious lunch we had on board!

Thank you so much, Dimitris for your generous words. You were both amazing, too and we absolutely loved the time we spent with you on Tuesday! We would love to see you again if you come back to Crete :-)
Take care,
Vasilis & Nikos

We had a fantastic day sailing with Vassilis to Gramvousa and Balos Island. Vassilis is very experienced and very nice. He even taught us a little sailing. The destinations were amazingly beautiful and lunch was delicious. Vassilis knows how to avoid the crowds at these popular destinations. At Gramvousa we managed to be alone and left as soon as the large boat full of tourists arrived.

Dear Sandra, thank you very much for this lovely review. Having both of you on board was the best present I could ask for my birthday! I really had a fantastic and very relaxing time with you and I enjoyed our trip a great lot.
Wishing you all the best,

We were 4 people and we had a wonderful day trip to balos. Organized one month ago before leaving our coutry , by email with Ariadne. The explanations were clear and finding the location to meet Vassilis was easy.
Vassilis is more than a captain, very friendly and communicative, he gave us many explanations on the site and surroundings. His son was with him this day and very helpful and his kindness was reaalx appreciated. A great lunch served on the boat and cooked by Vassilis's mother....a real family business!
We highly recommend Bcrew to assue you good memories.

Really awesome day out with Vasilis and Ariadne - they made every effort to make myself, wife and 2 children (11 and 14) feel welcome. It felt like an authentic trip, with the sails up and tacking to Gramvousa and Balos, which is just what we were after. We dived and snorkelled from the boat and had authentic Crete cuisine for lunch which they'd prepared - my son's best day of our 2 weeks :)

A fantastic experience! Ariadne and Vasilis were so great, friendly and very relaxed. We were taken to beautiful turquoise snorkelling spots and the food was all homemade and fresh. We also went to amazing ruins and the beautiful Balos lagoon but away from the large groups of tourists. A sensational day and we’d highly recommend this! Thank you!

A fantastic experience with Ariadne and Vassili. The cruise is unforgettable and will allow you to discover great places.
The fabulous crew is arranging the journey so you don’t face the tourist hordes. They’re taking care of you like your a family member and will provide whatever you need with a smile that you can’t forget.
Best choice without any doubt.

Hello again Mervin,
Since we cannot accommodate you tomorrow, I asked a friend who also goes to the same places with a sailing boat, called “Arianna”, and he has two places for tomorrow at the same price (75 euros each). He departs at 9 am. Please let me know if you are interested in joining him so that I send you instructions on where to locate his boat at the port.
Best,
Ariadne

Look forward to hearing from you!
