Posted on Μανούσος ΧιωτάκηςTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Συγχαρητήρια σε όλη την ομάδα της Chania Getaways! Μας ξενάγησαν σε πολύ όμορφα μέρη σε μία μονοήμερη κρουαζιέρα 8 ωρών με το σκάφος Protagon απο Μαράθι έως το Ρέθυμνο, αξέχαστη εμπειρία, παροχές και επαγγελματισμός! Σας ευχαριστούμε πολύ, εις το επενειδήν!Posted on Jessica WilliamsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. WOW!!! Just WOW!!! Having Babbis take us on a tour around the waters and to a cove where he also brought a sea scooter and paddle board, and knew exactly how to navigate the slightly choppy weather, his history and humour and enthusiasm and professionalism made this one of the total highlights of our trip! And we hadn't realised but he actually had closed for the season on the Sunday, and so when we messaged the next week he actually reopened his business for us! Thank you could never be enough!! This was my 3rd time using him and each time it is a wonderful experience. Unreservedly would recommend.Posted on Conor TurleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Babbis and his team are the absolute best in the business. We had our third trip with him today, and it was absolutely incredible! Total care taken to make the trip the most spectacular experience, and the gentlest, sweetest man and customer care. Thank you Babbis and team!! We will be back for our 4th boat experience with you soon 🤩🙏🏼👍🏼💥Posted on Andrew AlboreTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife and I had an amazing day out exploring the beautiful coves and beaches around Marathi with our four kids. Babis, was brilliant in showing us the ins and outs of the boat prior to leaving us free to explore. The GPS highlighted all of the great spots to visit and made navigation a breeze. We highly recommend Chania Getaways.Posted on Larissa HaltinerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What an incredible day! We had a private boat for 4 hours with Dimitrios as our skipper, and it honestly couldn’t have been better. He was super friendly, professional, and made us feel completely at ease from the start. We explored the most beautiful spots — crystal clear waters, hidden coves, and stunning views everywhere we looked. The atmosphere was just perfect: great music, refreshing drinks, lots of sunshine, and plenty of time to swim and relax. It was one of those days you’ll always remember.Posted on Gill beenzTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lovely staff , great boat and a brilliant half day with our boat . A couple of swimming stops easily reached and moored / anchored plus a GPS via your phone . Recommended company 👌Posted on A STrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wirklich alles perfekt. Preis-Leistung top !! Nette Mitarbeiter, tolles Boot und Preis unschlagbar. Das Wasser zum Schnorcheln perfekt. Viele Fische an den Küsten. Totale Weiterempfehlung!Posted on Sven WißmannTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. super friendly and helpful staff, 10/10 experience, super comfortable boat trip without license, perfect introduction to the area and the boat functionality. 100% recommend!!Posted on RajaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We booked a private boat without a skipper for 5 hours. The introduction and the entire service were great! Super friendly and helpful. The introduction takes a few minutes and you can cover a lot of ground, so we would definitely book the 8 hours next time! It was a total highlight. It's definitely worth it!
