★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 736 reviews · 3 hours · from $44

Review of Mykonos’ $44 sunset party boat cruise, with swimming at Agios Stefanos, a DJ, one drink, and Little Venice sunset views.

“It was lovely a nice way to spend an evening on a boat. Bring a towel you spend about a half hour jumping off the boat to the water if you want. Can also get a little colder so bring a longer sleeve shirt for later. In general bring a towel a cute wardrobe change and you will have a blast. The bar is only cash so bring cash if you want to drink more than your one beverage.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 529 reviews · 4.5 - 7 hours · from $82

Review of Heraklion’s Dia Island sunset cruise, with snorkeling, sailing, paddleboarding, Greek food, drinks, and practical booking advice.

“We had a wonderful time! There were a lot of people on the boat but it didn’t feel crowded. The cove where we anchored was lovely — our only complaint was that a party boat anchored nearby and played loud (bad) house music the whole time. It made the experience slightly less idyllic, but we tuned it out eventually, food was delicious, guides were friendly and cooked a delicious dinner, and the sunset was dreamy. A perfect way to spend our afternoon/evening in Heraklion!”

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.
