The sea, its blue colour combined with the blue of the sky feels like home to me

Captain Mike

The sea, its blue colour combined with the blue of the sky feels like home to me, feels like my whole childhood memories.

When I was fifteen years old i started working in a Water Ski Club and a Diving Club and since then i knew that water is my natural environment.

When i became 18, i though of evolving professionally in everything i loved as a child and so i got my first speedboat license, as well as a water ski trainer’s license. In my 20s i had a diving trainer’s license. Since 2000 and then i was working as a professional diver in big submarine constructions, especially during the winter season. One of the projects i participated and i am very proud of is the “Power Cables” for Spinalonga.

When we first met with Marina, my wife, one of the first things we shared is our love for the sea. This love and all the games we have at sea for hours is something that really connects us more and more. Marina got also very soon her speedboat license and our children got involved since they were very young with diving, water ski and other water games.

The spark for the creation of Crete Yacht Cruises, was first of all our love for the sea, our home, but also the exploitation of our multi-year experience in seafaring but above all our passion and desire to offer an unforgettable stay experience in our beautiful homeland, in Merabello Gulf. This gulf is like a piece of art, like an engraved scenery full of graphical seacoasts.

Our island life includes taking care of our land during the winter seasons.

We own big pieces of land with olive trees, which we take care of and we gather their fruits so we have our organic olive oil, as well as our gardens from where we have our fresh vegetables and herbs.

The dishes you are going to taste in our deck are created with our pure organic products by Marina, my wife. The food experience on board feels like inviting you in our home for a friendly and warm lunch or dinner. Some of the dishes you can have are homemade gemista (vegetables filled with rice and herbs), chicken with lemon sauce, fresh organic cucumbers, tomatoes and olives.
