A.
I recently had an unforgettable boat trip with Notos Mare in Crete, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. From the moment we stepped on board, everything felt perfectly organized, welcoming, and professional. What truly made the experience exceptional was the combination of breathtaking scenery and the outstanding guidance of our captain. We were taken along the stunning southern coastline, and I was amazed by how many gorges and hidden spots we got to see. Places you’d never discover on your own were revealed one after another—towering cliffs, dramatic rock formations, and remote stretches of shore that felt almost untouched. The captain didn’t just drive the boat; he shared stories, pointed out landmarks, and made sure we truly experienced the coastline rather than just passing by it. His knowledge of the area was incredible, and he navigated with complete confidence. You could tell he loves what he does and takes pride in showing guests the most beautiful sides of Crete. He was attentive, friendly, and made us feel both comfortable and safe the entire time. Every stop and every viewpoint felt thoughtfully planned, and he always made sure we had time to appreciate the scenery, take photos, and enjoy the moment. Notos Mare itself deserves just as much praise. The boat was clean, well-maintained, and clearly cared for. The entire experience—from communication and booking to the actual tour—was smooth and stress-free. You immediately feel you’re in good hands with a team that values both quality and hospitality. This trip ended up being one of the highlights of our time in Greece. If you’re looking for a company that goes above and beyond, Notos Mare is outstanding in every way. And if you’re lucky enough to have the same captain we did, you’re in for something truly special. I would do this tour again in a heartbeat and will recommend it to anyone visiting Crete. An absolutely top-notch experience!

nie polecam! najpierw otrzymaliśmy informację o odbiorze o godzinie 6.20, po 40 min oczekiwania i telefonie do organizatora okazało się, że odbiór będzie o 7.50!!!! 1.5 godziny różnicy! po ponownym przybyciu na miejsce zbiórki o 7.50 okazało się, że wycieczka w ogóle się nie odbędzie i możemy pojechać sobie na inną!to jakiś żart, nie dajcie się na to nabrać!

The trip was worthwhile and we saw beautiful landscaped and beaches. Sandy beach Agios Ioannis is a must. The water is just the right temperature to cool of after laying on the beach. Spent most time in the water.

Litt misvisende informasjon i forkant. Fikk flere mail, men med forskjellige pickup sted. Ringte, og fikk forklaring. Turen var veldig fin. Loutro er et vakkert sted. Ble overrasket over prisnivået. Billigere en i Rethymno. Klart og deilig vann, hyggelig atmosfære. Fin avbrekk i ferien.

Loutro is small, but amazing. Sunny day, good swim, nice restaurants. You have the option to hike, go to fort ruins or walk/take sea taxi to other beaches. I stayed in the beach at the end to soak in the late September sun. Our guide Maria was with us for the whole trip and responsive to calls so I appreciate it.

We cannot say enough good things about the staff and experience. We had the best day on the boat with Irene and Capitan. They stopped at 3 different beaches only accessible by boat. At the beaches, we snorkeled, went cave diving and exploring, jumped off cliffs into the water and had lunch on the boat with the most delicious food prepared by Irene. Every stop, they had paddle boards, snorkel gear all ready for us, towels and beer and wine as well! We also finished the day in the village port of Loutros, which was so beautiful and lovely, with a monastery and cafes everywhere and pristine water. Unforgettable day! Highly recommend for families with teens or a bit younger depending on their swimming level.

I’ve booked with Notos Mare many times — both in South and North Crete — from taxi boats to catamarans. Every experience has been a must! Not only are the boats safe, comfortable, and perfectly organized, but the landscapes they take you to are breathtaking. The team truly takes care of you, making sure you can just relax, enjoy the sea, and feel looked after in the warmest way. With Notos Mare, every trip turns into an unforgettable memory.

A very fun experience! We rented a 150hp boat with a boat captain. We enjoyed being on the sea for the entire day. We visited several beaches: 1. Sweet Water 2. loutro 3.Marmara The boat captain takes you to each beach. They stop, encourage you to swim and wait for you to enjoy the beach. We stopped and enjoyed each beach. He also gave us a lunch recommendation. It was a 10/10 experience! I would highly recommend. ** you can NOT rent a boat on your own if you have a Canadian, USA or Australian boater licences. Only European are accepted.
