These Website Terms of Use & Privacy Policy explain how visitors may use this website and how we collect, use, and protect personal data.

By using this website, you agree to these terms.

1. Purpose of This Website

This website provides information about boat trips, private cruises, boat rentals, sea experiences, and related tourism services in Crete.

The website may allow visitors to:

  • View available experiences

  • Read general information

  • Send enquiries

  • Request availability

  • Contact us by form, email, phone, WhatsApp, or social media

  • Access third-party booking systems or payment platforms

This website itself does not replace the full booking terms, cancellation policies, safety rules, operator agreements, waivers, or payment terms that may apply to a specific service.

2. Booking Terms Are Separate

All booking-specific terms, including prices, deposits, payments, cancellation policies, refund rules, no-show rules, weather policies, safety requirements, and operator conditions, are shown in the relevant booking system, confirmation, voucher, operator terms, or separate customer agreement.

By completing a booking through a booking system or third-party platform, you agree to the terms shown there.

If there is any difference between this Website Terms of Use page and the terms shown in the booking system, the booking system terms will apply to the booking.

3. Website Information

We try to keep the information on this website accurate and up to date.

However, details such as prices, availability, routes, departure times, inclusions, photos, descriptions, and offers may change without notice.

Website content is provided for general information only and should not be treated as a final booking confirmation.

A booking is only confirmed when confirmed through the booking system or in writing by us or the relevant provider.

You agree not to use this website:

  • For unlawful purposes

  • To submit false, misleading, or fraudulent information
