What are people saying about Santorini

Kelli_S, Jul 2026

Excellent views, food, and hosts.

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!

Santorini Oia: Small Group Sunset Cruise with BBQ Fish & Drinks

Sheilane_G, Jul 2026

Unforgettable

Our sunset cruise was without a doubt one of the absolute highlights of our trip to Greece. Everything was perfectly organized, and the timing of the sunset couldn’t have been better. Watching the sun set over Santorini from the water was an unforgettable experience. The crew were outstanding—friendly, professional, and always willing to help. We especially enjoyed the interesting information they shared about the history and geography of the Santorini islands. The food was fresh and delicious, adding to an already amazing experience. I would highly recommend this cruise to anyone visiting Santorini. It was truly worthwhile and created memories we’ll never forget. Gerber family RSA

There are so many choices...

There are so many choices when looking for a sunset cruise in Santorini and this was the one I was looking for. It was a smaller wooden boat which only a few other people and the experience was wonderful. The sunset was incredible and the food was great! I would definitely recommend this cruise!

Our yacht was amazing!...

Our yacht was amazing! The crew were so hospitable. We loved the small group. Our captain even interacted with our 2 young kids- 3 year old and 6 months. It was such an enjoyable experience for us to experience Santorini in the seas. It was so beautiful! We would book this again!

Semi - Private Fishing Tour (transportation included)

Chris_L, Jun 2026

An Unforgettable Day on the Water — Highlight of My Santorini Trip!

If you’re even thinking about booking this semi‑private fishing tour, do yourself a favor and book it now. This was hands‑down the most memorable day of my entire stay in Santorini. From the moment we stepped on the boat, the crew made us feel like old friends. Their energy, humor, and genuine passion for the sea set the tone for an incredible experience. They shared stories about local fishing traditions, explained every step of the process, and made sure everyone felt confident and included. The fishing itself was a blast. We caught a surprising variety of fish, and the crew celebrated every catch like it was a trophy. But the real magic came afterward: they prepared the freshest, most delicious meal right on board using the fish we caught. Imagine grilled fillets, Greek salads, homemade dips, and ice‑cold drinks, all while anchored in a quiet turquoise cove with the caldera cliffs rising around you. Pure bliss. What really stood out was the balance of adventure and relaxation. Plenty of time to fish, plenty of time to swim, and plenty of time to just soak in the scenery. The semi‑private setup made it feel intimate and personalized without being crowded. This tour gave us a completely different perspective of Santorini — away from the busy streets and into the heart of island life. Worth every euro and then some. Highly, highly recommend. If you want a day that’s equal parts fun, authentic, and unforgettable, this is it.

The perfect day!

We did the 3 hour trip in the afternoon and it was perfect! The food was delicious and the team from Santorini Yacht Club was very friendly. They told us some info about each stop and the swimming was fun at each stop, but seeing the fish while snorkeling was our favorite!

Such a great time!

We had a wonderful experience on this catamaran. The crew was great. There was lots of information we learned about the island.The food was fantastic. We really enjoyed it. After this one, we went to Mykonos and did a catamaran there. This one was by far so much better kind of wish we didn’t do the one in Mykonos.

6-Hour Private Best of Santorini Experience

Sandi_J, Jun 2026

Amazing Santorini Experience!

We had an absolutely fantastic private tour of Santorini and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our tour guide was outstanding—friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing the island’s culture, history, and traditions. They took the time to explain not only the famous sights, but also the stories and local way of life that make Santorini so special. We visited beautiful viewpoints, charming villages, and hidden spots we never would have found on our own. The tour felt personal, relaxed, and tailored to our interests, with plenty of opportunities to ask questions and take photos. If you’re visiting Santorini and want to truly understand the island beyond the postcard views, this private tour is absolutely worth it. It was one of the highlights of our trip and left us with a much deeper appreciation for Santorini. Highly recommended!

Sunset Caldera Sailing Cruise

Deborah_H, May 2026

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.

Samantha_K, Apr 2026

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.

Boris_N, Aug 2025

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.
