FAQ
The price of the private boat tour to Kedrodasos Elafonisi, Balos, and the other famous destinations from the Port of Kissamos starts from 1650 euros and per group (1-9 persons)
The price depends on boat size, the number of people in your private group, and the selected extras.
You can check our prices by clicking on the “book now” button or just request a quote via email, WhatsApp, or phone.
Suppose your group is larger than our maximum boat capacity. In that case, we can arrange a second boat to accommodate your group. The boats sail together and tie together, so the group does not split. While we are docked, you can go from one vessel to another. Ask us about the alternative options.
Our company does not offer transportation services. However, we can arrange a one-way or round-trip taxi/minivan service for your transfer to and from the departure point at an additional cost.
If your departure point is Kissamos Port, you can park your car in the following area near our boats: google maps location
Between June 15 and September 10, bring your Beachwear, Towels, Sunscreen Hat, and Hiking shoes (if you want to visit the Fortress of Gramvousa). Remember to bring a wind jacket if you book a trip earlier than June 15. The average (low-high) temperature in the Summer (June -August) in Crete is 20-33 degrees, usually without clouds.
For the months of April, May, June (1st half), September (second half), and October, the average temperature may vary between 18-28 degrees. Bring a long-sleeved shirt or a wind -jacket in case of cloudy weather, rain, or later return to the Port.
Approximately 1h and 30 minutes on an average cruising speed of 24-25 knots.
At Elafonisi, there is a small dock where, if available and approved by the authorities (its use was recently prohibited but has since been allowed again), we can moor, allowing you to disembark directly. If this is not feasible, we will anchor in shallow waters near the beach, and you can swim to the shore on your own.
At Kedrodasos, which is an unorganized beach, we will anchor at a distance of 30-40 meters from the coast.
At Falasarna, we will head to a secluded beach near the Ancient Falasarna, where you can enjoy your swim.
According to Greek port authority regulations, the boat can anchor 50-60 meters away from Balos beach. It is not allowed to go closer due to swimmers in the area. However, the water is shallow (1.5-2m), and you can easily swim to the beach. If you want to stay dry, ask our friendly skipper to take you to the dock. From there you will have to walk to the beach.
Approximately 20 minutes. Remember to wear proper shoes and also take some water with you.
All pets are allowed on board under your supervision.
In Case of Unfavorable Weather Conditions:
- Postponement: SEAze The Day will reschedule the trip to another date.
- Alternative Departure/Return Point: The departure and return location may be adjusted upon agreement with the guest.
