Overview

There’s a place not far from Panormo Port where sheltered coves, clear waters, and stunning rocky landscapes create a peaceful escape.
This is Bali Bay, a hidden gem on Crete’s northern coast. Beneath the surface, an amazing underwater world awaits: rocky reefs, seagrass meadows, statues, and a variety of marine life. If you’re lucky while snorkeling, you might even spot a sea turtle gliding among the underwater wonders.
Our luxury catamaran offers complete comfort, with sunbeds and shaded lounges perfect for relaxing throughout the journey. Soft, uplifting music creates a joyful atmosphere as you enjoy Cretan snacks, a light brunch, and a delicious lunch — all included. Espresso, tea, water, soft drinks, and local Greek wine and beer are available anytime.
For adventure seekers, the sea becomes your playground: try SUP, snorkel among marine life, or drift on an inflatable noodle. And of course, our iconic pink flamingo is always ready for unforgettable photos.

What To Expect

Your day begins at Panormo Port with a warm welcome from our crew — espresso, tea, detox water to start your morning right. A light, nutritionist-designed brunch gives you energy as we sail along Crete's rugged coastline. Relax on sunbeds or in shaded lounges while soaking in the serene sea views.

Upon reaching the bay, enjoy freshly prepared gourmet bites and explore the water with SUP boards, snorkeling gear, and our iconic pink flamingo float. Dive into crystal-clear waters or simply bask in the Cretan sun.

Back on board, savor a delicious Mediterranean lunch crafted with fresh, organic, local ingredients from a Cretan farm. Unlimited water, soft drinks, Greek beer, and Cretan white wine are available from the open bar. Dessert follows, with options for lighter meals.

After lunch, unwind on deck or enjoy more swimming before we sail back across sparkling blue waters. You'll return to port refreshed, inspired, and filled with unforgettable memories.
