About us

Imperial Blue is a premium boat rental and private skipper service based in Kato Gouves, Crete, offering unforgettable sea experiences for visitors from all over the world.

Founded by Vasileios Spiridakis, a licensed local skipper and water sports trainer, 1mperial Blue was created from a deep passion for the sea, boats, and the unique coastline of Crete. Our goal is simple: to provide safe, personal, and high-quality boat experiences that go far beyond standard tourist trips.

A Local Skipper with Passion for the Sea

Vasileios is a licensed skipper, a local resident of Crete, and a professional water sports trainer with extensive knowledge of the area. His experience on the water, combined with in-depth understanding of Crete’s coastline, allows guests to explore the island from a truly authentic perspective.

Being local means knowing more than just routes — it means understanding:

  • Sea and weather conditions

  • Hidden beaches and quiet bays

  • The safest and most enjoyable itineraries

  • The best times and places for swimming, snorkeling, and relaxing

Vasileios speaks English, Greek, and German, making communication easy and comfortable for international visitors.
