The Experience

You step onto polished teak as Mirabello Bay opens like a map of blues — pale turquoise in the shallows, ink-blue where the drop-offs begin. The engine hums, the crew checks lines, and the coastline of Elounda recedes into a ribbon of cliffs and sheltered coves. The sea dares you to dive; a warm wind pushes the yacht toward hidden anchorages where the water is clear enough to count your toes.

Before You Go

Bring reef‑safe sunscreen

Protect marine life and your skin — the crew may refuse non–reef‑safe products in sensitive areas.

Pack a waterproof bag

Keep phones, passports and spare clothes dry during transfers and swims.

Prep for boarding

Wear non‑slip deck shoes and be ready to step on a swim platform for easy water access.

Manage seasickness proactively

If you’re sensitive to motion, take preventive medication before departure and choose sheltered anchorages when possible.

Conservation Note

Avoid anchoring on Posidonia meadows, use reef‑safe sunscreen and follow crew guidance to minimize disturbance to marine habitats.

Mirabello Bay has strategic importance from Minoan to Venetian eras; Spinalonga later served as an early 20th‑century leper colony and retains visible fortifications.
