The Soul of Hellas by Boat – Not Only an Excellent Service, but an Unforgettable Experience.
We offer wonderful luxury boat trips to the most memorable places in Chania, Crete. We provide safe, quick, luxurious and friendly service. We are dedicated to excellence.
Crete is the island of Nikos Kazantzakis, the most famous modern Greek novelist internationally, who created the character of Zorba the Greek. Zorba brilliantly sums up the independent, proud, fiery and life-loving side of the Greek character. I am Yioryis, who shares these same characteristics as Zorba. My vision and mission as the owner of Dream Destinations is to be a pioneer in the provision of dream journeys by my boat to a great variety of some of the most amazing places, some popular, other hidden, in Crete.
Our boat trips are exceptional by being made in small groups of maximum 10 people. We can make stops in beautiful small luxury beaches, which are accessible only by boat. And enjoy swimming, sunbathing wonderful views and delicious traditional home made food provided by us.

David Rivas2022-10-03Life is made of memories, this amazing pirate you will never forget...! Was a fantastic trip, feeling the real Crete with the hospitality and friendship of Captain Yiorgis. His facilities and boats are first class and charming. If you want to enjoy the Mediterranean sea, food, and Sun on a private deck, this is a must.uzsfzufs2022-09-25Der entspannteste Tag vom gesamten Urlaub Captain Yiorgis hat uns (Familie mit 3 Kindern) am Treffpunkt persönlich gegrüßt (man erkennt ihn von Weitem ;-) und uns auf seinem Boot auf einen Ganztagesausflug mit ca. 2,5 Stunden Bootsfahrt und ca. 6 Stunden Entspannungsaufenthalt an einer Privatterrasse mitgenommen. Die Terrasse mit Bademöglichkeit im kristallklaren Meer ist nur mit dem Boot erreichbar. Währrend zigtausend andere Leute in Richtung Balos unterwegs waren, haben wir den ganzen Tag nur ca. 2 andere Boote gesehen. Während wir schnorchelten und uns auf der Terrasse entspannt haben, hat Capt. Yiorgis das Mittagessen vorbereitet. Es gab unglaublich viel und gutes Essen! Country Potatoes, Salat, allerlei Gegrilltes und noch Dessert! Haben seit Langem nicht so viel gegessen! Captain Yiorgis ist ein sehr netter, aufmerksamer Tourbegleiter, der keine Wünsche offenlässt. So ein schöner Tag, daher 5 Sterne! Das einzige was uns vorher nicht ganz klar war, war das es eher um einen Entspannungstag handelte als eine Bootstour. Aber selbst die Kinder hat das nicht gestört, weil es so schön war.eftychios c2022-09-24What our mind, body and soul really need! Tranquility, privacy, escape from everything, recharging batteries until next time!!! I was wondering if everything I have heard so far for this experience was true. Toda I realize that it's much better, an experience that you cannot describe it with simple words! One day to a private paradise, feeling like a true pirate, enjoying the magic waters and the unique hospitality of Captain Yiorgis!!! Not negotiable for the next time, if we are lucky enough to find a free day as it was difficult to find an available day due to the heavy program that Captain Yiorgis really have and try to give the best he can to make sure that we will have a unforgettable experience!!! This time of the year it is more than possible to live the "four seasons" experience in only one day!!! Remarkable service and excellent quality, Captain Yioryis we are grateful for joining you in this boat trip and we hope to live these wonderful moments soon! Memories will give us the strength to "escape" from the everyday reality until next time!!!cormoranos2022-09-15Right now there is nothing better in Kissamos Bay than Captain George's excursion. It was an amazing experience. He took us to the best places in the area but also the facilities he has built are unique. (a lot of work) Captain George loves what he does so much that you literally can't get any better. I highly recommend it and will definitely go again. Bravo Georgemiranta z2022-09-13Great all family excursion with Captain Yiorgis Wild landscapes. Emerald waters. Away from the crowded beaches. Famous Cretan hospitality. Journey to Cretan cuisine and flavors. Canoe and sup included.fotis c2022-09-13BEAUTIFUL EXCURSION AND EXPERIENCE WITH A UNIQUE HOST Beautiful experience and excursion on a secluded beach with calm green waters, regardless of the winds. The host and business owner, a unique personality. Full day excursion with lots and quality food, refreshments and drinks. Captain Giorgis has taken care of everything, even the visit by land rover to a byzantine monastery.Μαθιός Α2022-09-12Στα ίδια μέρη θα ξαναβρεθούμε! Ένα γνωστό λαϊκό τραγούδι λέει "στα ίδια μέρη θα ξαναβρεθούμε..." και δηλώνει ότι με μεγάλη χαρά και ενθουσιασμό μας αρέσει να πάμε ξανά και ξανά εκεί που περάσαμε υπέροχα. Έτσι λοιπόν και το φετινό καλοκαίρι βρέθηκα στα μέρη του καπετάν Γιώργη. Στους μικρούς κρυμμένους κόλπους, σε ανεξερεύνητα σημεία του Ραβδούχα στην δυτική Κρήτη που εκπέμπουν την γοητεία της αναζήτησης κα της απόκτησης νέων εμπειριών, εκεί που ο ταξιδιώτης θα πάρει από τις εμπειρίες του καπετάν Γιώργη. Και πάλι θα ξανανταμωσουμε!Nikos C2022-09-10Amazing Boat Excursion! We had an amazing day with Captain Yioryis. The day was our family’s favorite day, by far, that we spent on Crete. We were mesmerized by the beautiful scenery, had fun snorkeling and paddle boarding, and feasted like kings on patates, Cretan salad, grilled meats, and baklava! All of this made more memorable and better by Captain Yioryis’ hospitality and passion for what he does and for this land he calls home. We look forward to returning again!melina g2022-09-10Στην απλότητα αυτής της εμπειρίας συναντάς πραγματικά ΤΗΝ πολυτέλεια. Όλα ήταν πράγματι υπέροχα. Η εμπειρία σίγουρα μοναδική και αξέχαστη . Ο κάπτεν Γιώργης ο καλύτερος ξεναγός, ο ΚΑΛΥΤΕΡΟΣ ΜΑΓΕΙΡΑΣ και φυσικά ο πιο φιλόξενος κρητικός. Τα μέρη που είδαμε, σίγουρα χρειάζεσαι έναν ντόπιο για να τα δεις. Μαγικά όλα. Η διαδρομή με το τζιπ, το καλύτερο σαφάρι και η διαδρομή με το σκάφος το καλύτερο charter. Το σποτ που καταλήξαμε, η ιδιωτική παραλία με τα κρυστάλλινα νερά και όλη αυτή την άγρια ομορφιά, είναι στ αλήθεια κάτι που δεν το συναντάς. Ό,τι πρέπει για χαλάρωση. Αισθάνομαι ειλικρινά τυχερή που είχα την ευκαιρία να ζήσω αυτή την εμεπιρία. Στην απλότητα όλης αυτής της εμπειρίας συναντάς ΤΗΝ πολυτέλεια.Teta A2022-09-09Dream Destination is a must! Let’s begin from the start …. Captain Barbarossa is a star !!! Is basically THE MAN behind the experience. The food and the place and the boat and the tranquility (THE BEACH IS ALL FOR YOU) etc . BUT captain Yioryis is the glue that makes the whole thing a lifetime experience. If you happen to come to Crete and look for a truly unique excursion DREAM DESTINATION IS A MUST. You shall thank me for ever!

If you are a worshiper of nature, hospitality and you want a quiet place to relax admiring a wild beauty then our cruise is for you!
Captain Yioryis will be glad to welcome you on board and offer to the magic Cretan hospitality. Let us inform you that Dream Destinations,while upgrading its services and quality, created a New Unique Dream Destination. It takes place at a NATURA zone at Spatha Peninsula: a place with unique wild beauty with turquoise water at a small Bay of Amygdalia. The crystal clear water is perfect for snorkelling – it is full of sea life, as well as canoeing or enjoying the magic waters on a paddle-board.
A very special beautiful feature are the eagles flying above, and a herd of goats climbing the mountain nearby our location. At our Base, at the beach of Amygdalia, umbrellas and seabeds are provided for you to relax. The beach is totally private, there is no single road until there and the only way of reaching it is by sea. Near the beach, inside a beautiful cave with a panoramic view, there is an over 1,000 years old Saint Nikolas church, absolutely worth visiting.
For the first time this year, we will cook local dishes in a traditional wood fire oven, right by the sea: a unforgettable unique experience. Continuing our trip, we will move on to another little bay of Saint Pavlos Beach with a small Byzantine monastery of Saint Pavlos, over a 1,000 years old with iconic hagiographies and still accessible today! Our way back is during the sunset. The above mentioned experiences during the day may give a flair of folklore, which makes this trip a truly authentic.
- • MAX. 10 PEOPLE
- • ALL DAY CRUISE - STARTS AT 9:00
- • CRETAN FOOD & WINE
