Details
Enjoy our pirate boat trip around Rethymno at sunset and admire the city as you have never seen it before! From the Marine Port of Rethymno, we will first sail past La Fortezza, which is a historic fortress build by the Venetians in the 16th century. Little by little, you will see the colours of the sky change, and the sun will cover the sea surface with an orange and pink gradient. When it turns dark, we will return to our starting point, and you will have the opportunity to admire a breathtaking view of the illuminated port and town.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The sunset boat tour on the pirate ship was simply beautiful and definitely a highlight of our vacation. We were treated to a breathtaking sunset at sea – an unforgettable moment.
Afterwards, we even went to the old port of Rethymno. With its atmospherically lit restaurants and stunning scenery, it was simply magical. The crew was very friendly and made the tour a truly wonderful experience.
We highly recommend this boat tour to anyone who wants to experience a special evening in Rethymno!

A wonderfully romantic evening cruise into the sunset! As the sun dipped below the horizon, the full moon shone brightly on the mainland side!
Pure romance!!!
