Perfection.

What a fabulous trip! Wasn’t sure what to expect but from the pickup to the drop off : perfection. The crew was dynamite. Regina, Dakis and Dousan led us on the boat with class and kindness. The food was great, the boat guests equally as great. Do this. You won’t regret it.

A highlight of our trip

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.

I would highly recommend...

I would highly recommend this experience! It was our first time in the island and our guides made this a must-do. We saw so much of the island, got to swim in the caldera, and ate a delicious lunch on board. The crew was friendly and fun. We went out on a pretty choppy day, and they were able to still give us an amazing experience! This will definitely be something we come back and do every time.

Beautiful tour, the views...

Beautiful tour, the views and swimming were fantastic. Food was OK. The water was super rough though which made me seasick. They have medication but it's not suitable for breastfeeding mothers (I went with my 9 month old daughter). Also, the boat was difficult to walk on especially in the choppy waves, which made it difficult to carry the baby and it would probably be hard for someone with mobility issues. We also had to walk across other boats to get on ours. Overall a great experience though.

You must book

This is a must do experience. Santorini from the water is a different island and Panos takes the time to explain the volcanic history while being a great skipper and host. I would highly recommend you book this tour well before you arrive. You bypass the hordes of tourists and and get a 100% locals experience.

The moment we stepped...

The moment we stepped onto the catamaran, we were welcomed with genuine warmth and hospitality from the incredible crew, George, Georgia, and Isidora, who went above and beyond to make our experience perfect. We explored beautiful parts of the island, swam in crystal waters, and after a day of adventure, we enjoyed a delicious meal prepared on board, followed by dessert and music as we watched the most magical sunset, the perfect ending to a perfect day. Truly unforgettable!

This was such a blast....

This was such a blast. Great food, lots of space on the boat for everyone, and the guides were so nice and helpful (s/o Aphrodite!) We loved getting picked up at the door of our Airbnb, and a highlight was definitely the snorkeling. Also, they did amazing handling my husband’s allergies (he has 3 big ones and they were awesome at modifying the menu so he could eat). Would gladly, gladly do this again.

Incredible experience

My husband and I did this tour for his birthday. We had an amazing day with George and Elias. George is very knowledgeable and personable. My husband enjoyed talking with George the entire trip. We sailed around the island on the night tour and experienced an awesome sunset. Elias cooked a delicious dinner for the two of us. Definitely recommend spending time with this duo.

Great catamaran tour

Great catamaran tour overall, and the crew was excellent as well. We got to see various parts of Santorini that could be better appreciated from the water, though we would have enjoyed more time sailing in the caldera. The lunch prepared on board was very good as well. Hotel pick-up and drop-off were smooth as well. Some communication from the company was a bit harsh - such as, tour cancellation if you are 10 min late for the pick-up and the requirement to bring passports, although no one every asked for them. It was not a problem for us as we are usually on time, but the messaging could have been a bit softer and friendler.

Seven Seas- Spiridakos private catamaran cruise in Santorini - 5 Stars

Our experience on the Seven Seas - Spiridakos private catamaran cruise in Santorini couldn’t have been any more spectacular! We were greeted at the pier and guided over to the area where our catamaran awaited. Captain Endri, George, and Bohan greeted us immediately with such welcoming Greek hospitality! We settled in and began our relaxing journey. George did a fantastic job of entertaining us with the history and stories about the area, and he threw bits of food into the water to draw the fish closer while we snorkeled. We’ve snorkeled in many different areas of the world and the locations this crew took us to were unlike anything we’ve ever experienced before! They took such great care of us — always making sure we were having a fantastic time, that we had something to drink, and that we were comfortable. We never had to ask for a single thing! And the food they cooked for us was an absolutely delicious feast — honestly tastier than the restaurants we ate in while we were in Athens! Our kids (15, 13, and 10) simply adored George and had the best time dancing to ABBA songs and doing the Macarena with him as we sailed back into port. We saw other passengers on different catamarans start dancing as well as our music and joyous energy sailed past them — I know they were wishing they were on our boat! This crew provided us with an experience we will never, ever forget. We’ll be booking with Captain Endri, George, and Bohan again in a heartbeat for our next getaway. What an incredible, family-bonding Seven Seas Spiridakos experience—thank you so much, team!

Fantastic!

100% reccommend! So peaceful to drive around the island with unlimited beer, wine, soda. We got to jump off and swim twice, very salty! Use the goggles because you'll see a bunch of fish below you! The Greek meal was great, got to try a little bit of everything. The crew also told us a little bit of info on the surroundings while sailing around. Amazing time.
