Rethymno harbour sunset cruise
RethymnoDepends on the selected itinerary
An evening boat from Rethymno harbour runs along the Venetian front and the long town beach, then turns back after sunset. You are not going to a lagoon. The lighthouse and the fortezza from the water are the picture. Wind in the bay cancels the small boats, and a choppy evening is not saved by enthusiasm. It suits people who have walked the town and want an hour on the water. Skip it if you get cold on the water after dark, or if you thought this was the Balos trip under another name. Boats leave the old harbour. Arrive in time to find the right quay. The Venetian port has more than one corner.

Boat tripMorning fishing boat from Rethymno
RethymnoDepends on the selected itinerary
A morning line-fishing boat from Rethymno stays in the bay and comes back before the afternoon wind. A catch is possible and not promised. Ask whether anyone cooks what you land or whether you simply return to the quay. The second version is a boat ride with rods. The first is a longer morning. It suits people who like small boats and an early start. Skip it if seasickness is likely, and do not book it the same day as a gorge. Departure is from the harbour. Bring a layer and shoes that grip a wet deck. The town will be hot by the time you are back. The boat will not be.

A sunset catamaran from Rethymno
RethymnoDepends on the selected itinerary
A sunset catamaran leaves the Rethymno waterfront and stays on the water while the light goes. That is not the walk out to the lighthouse and not the view from the Fortezza walls. The boat has its own boarding time. A harbour photograph does not tell you the route, the drinks, or whether you return after dark. It suits an evening on deck. Skip it if anyone in the group cannot manage the gangway, or if you wanted to be on the town beach for the sunset instead. Take the quay the operator names, which may not be the lighthouse mole. Ask how you get back to your room after the boat docks, and what the trip does if the wind cancels the sailing.
