August is made for days on the water. ☀️

So we picked three of our favourite ways to explore the South Cretan coast this month: one for those who want to see as much as possible, one for a slower half-day at sea, and one for golden-hour lovers.

Swipe through and find your kind of boat day. 🌊

For those who like to take it slow. 🌊

Four hours aboard Captain Liz, with plenty of time for swimming, snorkeling and relaxing along the coast. Stop at White Beach, take a dip in the turquoise water and enjoy a quieter side of South Crete.
Perfect for families, couples and groups who want a beautiful half-day on the water. And if four hours leave you wanting more, the experience is also available as an 8-hour extended tour.

Find all details, prices and online booking on our website.

For the sunset lovers. 🌅

Two hours of golden light, a quiet bay, a swim in the evening sea and your favourite drink on board as the sun slowly disappears behind the Cretan coast.
A beautiful way to end the day with your partner, family or friends, or to celebrate something special.

Private sunset cruises. All details and online booking are available on our website.

For the explorers. 🚤
Five hours along the southern coast aboard one of our fastest boats, with hidden coves, sea caves, crystal-clear water, Loutro and Marmara along the way.
Swim, snorkel, cliff-jump or simply enjoy the ride. The route can also be extended to our 7-hour Ultimate Speed Boat Safari if you want to make a full day of it.

All details, prices, available boats and online booking are on our website.

From relaxed half-day cruises to full-day adventures and private sunset escapes, there is plenty to discover along the South Cretan coast.

Some moments simply make us smile. 💙 While taking the ferry, Lisa looked across the water and spotted our Escape cruising along the coast with Captain Frank and our lovely guests on board.

Of course she had to grab her phone. 📱🌊

Behind Plakias Boat Tours, there are always people who quietly shape the experience long before you step on board.

In our office in the heart of Plakias you will usually meet Francis, our office manager. She is the one answering your messages, handling bookings and making sure every detail is clear and well organised, online and in person. With many years of experience in tourism and hospitality in Crete, she knows the island, the boats and the experiences inside out, and she is always there to help you find the right option for your perfect day at sea.

Right next door, you will find Lisa, co-founder of Plakias Boat Tours together with Captain Tasos. Born in Belgium, she first came to Plakias as a young traveller, where a simple boat trip to Preveli changed the course of her life. She made Crete her home, and together with Tasos built not only a family, but also a business that grew step by step by the sea.

Over the years, Lisa shaped the identity and daily life of the company and today she runs The Lagoon — a small island lifestyle store filled with handmade jewelry, beach-inspired pieces and carefully curated items — as well as the beachfront suites located right next to the office

Two women, two roles, one place: Plakias — and a shared way of welcoming people to the south of Crete. 🌿
