★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 446 reviews · 3.5 hours · from $100

Review of Rethymno’s 3.5-hour sunset catamaran cruise with sushi, open bar, swimming, SUP, snorkeling, and practical booking tips.

“We had the most unforgettable sunset trip with the catamaran in Rethymno! It was also my daughter’s birthday, and the hostess went above and beyond to make it special—she even prepared a cake and sang happy birthday for her. Truly, she was the most amazing hostess I have ever met. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, food and drinks were always available and of top quality, and everything was arranged with such care. Watching the sun set over the sea with my family while celebrating my daughter’s birthday made this experience priceless. I highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting Rethymno—you won’t just enjoy the views, you’ll feel genuinely cared…”
