Yvette_B, Dec 2025

Perfect Day!

What a perfect way to spend our last afternoon and evening in Santorini! We love being out on the water, and it did not disappoint! The crew members were lovely, and great cooks, too! The food was wonderful and a fun time was had by all. Would highly recommend.

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.

Day in fishing heaven!

The entire experience was amazing. They picked us up and immediately took care of everything for the rest of our trip! The boat was wonderful, we got a ton of fish and the lunch that was prepared was one of the most memorable meals on our trip! We were able to swim and snorkel between fishing and eating. It was truly a magical day. We learned so many techniques and local fish varieties I can not recommend this experience enough!

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.

Amazing experience, very welcoming, superb tour!

This tour was the perfect activity to wrap up our trip to Greece. Toto, the tour guide was phenomenal on the way up to the volcano, during dinner, and dancing on the boat. The views from the boat were breathtaking, the food was excellent, the swimming was very refreshing. Everyone on the hast was very courteous and welcoming. Lifting the sails on the boat to see the sunset made it even more memorable. I highly recommend this tour. Truly out of this world!

Amazing experience

We had the most amazing time on the Medusa Sunset Boat Cruise yesterday! From start to finish, everything was perfect. The views were absolutely stunning as the sun dipped below the horizon, and the atmosphere on board was just magical. Our hosts Themis and Miltos went above and beyond to make sure we were having a great time — they were so friendly, fun, and attentive. It honestly felt like they were part of the celebration! We booked this for my sister’s hen do, and it couldn’t have been a better choice. Everyone was raving about it afterwards — such a memorable and special evening. Highly recommend for anyone looking to celebrate in style!

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.

The Fastest Private Motor Yacht in Santorini - All Inclusive Tour

Completely Worth It!

Our tour around the Caldera was awesome! We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel, so we didn't need to worry about getting a taxi to the right spot. Our captain, Hector, was so knowledgeable about the islands, the history, the mythology, the volcano - all of it! He let us hang when we wanted to catch some sun, and cruise when we wanted to, even let one of us play DJ for the day. My group was so glad we chose this full day tour around the Caldera - it's the MOST bang for your buck and gives you a beautiful and different view of the cliffs, beaches, volcanic terrain, and rock formations that you wouldn't see up close if you were driving there and trying to see them by hiking in. By the time you factor in the cost of ground transportation, lunch, snacks, water taxi etc. to whatever you think you're planning for the day, the cost of this tour covers that and more. You're on a boat in the Aegean Sea which is better than being on a boat pretty much anywhere else. Request Hector for your captain if you can! He's awesome. Also, he builds a mean charcuterie board ;)

Unforgettable

We booked this as a part of our honeymoon and got paired with Cpt Kostas and Elena. They were the best hosts to make sure we were always comfortable and taken care of. Even with the surprise of rain that lasted a good portion of the cruise it was WELL worth it. Not to mention the food was fantastic. This is a memory we will keep for a lifetime!
