What's included in the EUR 3,200 price?

The private yacht rental, professional crew, gourmet lunch prepared by a private chef, Cretan wine pairings, snorkeling access, and the full 6-hour sailing experience. Confirm exact inclusions (equipment rentals, transfers) at booking.

Is snorkeling suitable for beginners?

Yes. The crew selects shallow, calm spots around Dia Island ideal for novices. Inform them of your experience level in advance so they can provide additional guidance or adjust locations.

How many people can the yacht accommodate?

The listing specifies a 'private' yacht, but exact capacity isn't stated. Contact the supplier to confirm group size limits and whether the price is per person or fixed charter.

What if weather is rough on the day?

Sailing is weather-dependent. Most operators offer rebooking or refunds if seas exceed safe snorkeling conditions. Confirm the weather policy and cancellation terms before payment.

Are dietary requirements accommodated?

Given the private chef service, special diets (vegetarian, allergies, etc.) can almost certainly be arranged. Notify the operator at booking so the chef can plan the gourmet menu accordingly.
