Top Santorini Day Cruises

One of only a few fully private Catamaran tours. Service was incredible from pickup at hotel, followed by 5 hours on the boat with our amazing Captain and sailor (including a hot meal and drinks throughout) to drop off back at our hotel. This has been the best experience we’ve done on our honeymoon and one of the best experiences we’ve ever booked in general. You cannot get an experience like this anywhere else.

This operation really has it together! From pick up to drop off, everything was literally perfection. They picked us up right where our tender boat dropped us off. We boarded the most beautiful catamaran and met the 4 crew members. Yes, 4 crew members and 4 of us! Vito and Xena were the deck crew that took care of us all day. I can’t remember our captain’s name. They let me hook up to the speaker so we could listen to our playlists. We stopped first to see a cute little church on the water and a sunken ferry boat. The water is so clear you could see straight to the bottom. Then we stopped in the hot springs. They definitely aren’t “hot”…..but they are warmer than the sea water. It was a pretty cool experience, but not really what I had pictured. Vito told us all about the island and the volcanos. He was very knowledgeable and his English was great. We stopped at a black beach where you could swim, snorkel, or paddleboard to the beach if you wanted. They also have really nice floaties to relax in. Again, super clear water. Not many fish to see, but that’s expected in Greece. We then moved to another beautiful swimming spot. They cooked our lunch on a grill right on the back of the boat. I think there was enough food for 10 people. Bread, cheese, salad, grape leaves, pasta, chicken, sausage, and shrimp! Xena did the cooking. She’s an amazing cook! It was one of the best meals, and you couldn’t beat the view while we ate! They kept the white wine and beer coming all day. Our glasses were never empty! We stopped one last place to swim where there were lots of other boats moored up so that was fun. Back to the dock, said our goodbyes and a driver took us back to town. This is where the day took a turn (at no fault of the tour operator). Cars can drive down to the dock where the tender boats are, so you options are to ride a donkey, walk for 30 minutes down very steep/uneven steps, or take the cable car. My husband walked in flip flops. He made it, but he said he would never do it again in flip flops. He would if he had tennis shoes on and 2 beers:). The rest of us took the cable car and the line was really long. There is no way of telling how long they wait is when you get in line. We waited about an hour, but I heard the wait can get to 3 or 4 hours. If I had it to do over I would have brought tennis shoes and walked down, or rode a donkey, but I felt sorry for them :(.

The crew / staff was incredibly friendly. The food prepared for lunch was delicious. We were fortunate enough to have only a 7 person catamaran tour and everyone on board made the trip such a delight. We got to stop and swim / snorkel 3 times at different spots. The views were incredible. Despite it being a windy / slightly rougher sea day there were absolutely no problems moving about the catamaran. Would absolutely recommend this!

If you are debating booking this catamaran trip, do not hesitate—it was unquestionably the highlight of our time in Santorini. From the moment we stepped on board, the experience was top-tier. The catamaran itself was immaculate, exceptionally well-maintained, and offered a thoroughly premium feel with plenty of space to relax. What truly set this excursion apart, however, was the crew. They struck the perfect balance of being incredibly hospitable and genuinely fun, making sure we were completely taken care of while creating a fantastic, welcoming atmosphere. As someone who holds high standards for a great culinary experience, I was completely blown away by the food. It was excellent, incredibly fresh, and far exceeded any expectations I had for a meal prepared and served at sea. Cruising through the caldera with this team was an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a flawless, high-end day on the water.

This was my absolute favorite activity in Santorini! Just a few people on the cruise with crew that was extremely responsive and helpful. Unlimited drinks and the BBQ dinner was scrumptious with large portions. Snorkeling equipment worked very well. Very scenic and beautiful sunset on the water! We even sailed for a bit!

This experience was excellent! So laid back and relaxing. The captain and hosts cooked a delicious meal on board that had pasta, fish, shrimp, chicken, and a fresh salad. Beer and wine were served along with sprite and fanta. I would have liked a rum punch or something different besides the wine. On Viator it says to arrive 30 minutes before the cruise time but you must actually arrive one hour before and we were almost late. The tour company was very communicative. Also it lasted longer than expected too! We did the sunset at 3:30 and pulled back into the dock at 8:15! It was an amazing experience and a great way to spend our last night in Santorini!

Great way to see the different island formations. The crew was fabulous — knowledgeable and funny, but always put safety first. Delicious meal on board also. They provide blankets for the latter part of the cruise as watching the sunset can get chilly on the water. Definitely recommend.

What a wonderful experience. Truly a highlight of our two weeks in Greece. Wonderful captain and first mate who made us feel welcomed and shared amazing knowledge of the island and the Caldera history. The weather had been questionable throughout the day but cleared in time for us to get this in and so glad we were able to. The food prepared onboard was fresh and very tasty. We really enjoyed the boat which was beautiful especially with the sails up. The transfers from Oia to port were both friendly and processional. We would highly recommend this excursion and this team.
