Best Cruise Excursion Experience

This was the best cruise excursion experience I have ever had. The tour guide is very professional, and the whole itinerary is well organized. We had a great time enjoying the volcano island hiking, hot spring swimming, and the astonishing sunset on the boat! Definitely recommended!

Catamaran Day Cruise

This was a fabulous five our cruise around Santorini. Stunning picturesque views. Three great stops along the way. Two for swimming and snorkeling and one in the sulpher waters. Crew was so wonderful. Boat was clean and the food was truly outstanding. I would highly recommend this cruise to anyone. Also want to thank Viatour who in my opinion is #1 with booking any tour, or transportation in Greece.

Santorini Volcano Sunset Cruise with Dinner

Michelle_H, Jul 2026

Overall a great time!!!

Come prepared & it will be amazing! Walking up the volcano? Wear good walking sandles or shoes (Worth the 5 euro!). Don’t want to buy snacks or water? Bring your own stash. Wear your suit, jump in the water! Dinner is delicious, but don’t expect it to be piping hot..you’re on a boat, remember. It’s buffet and you’re welcome to second servings of food & drink during dinner. Crew is fun, kind and keep you safe. It was a great time!!!!

5 Star Cruise, Food & Drinks!

Absolutely fabulous excursion from start to finish time. Prompt collection from our hotel in a lovely air conditioned vehicle & a seamless transfer to the port. Really nice cruise, all of the catamaran crew were very friendly & happy to have us there. There was an open bar, as highlighted & the BBQ lunch was absolutely delicious, prepared by Adonis to absolute perfection. We happily drank the white Santorini wine & kept fully hydrated with bottles of water. A gorgeous 5 hours in the beautiful Aegean Sea, sheer bliss! Thanks to Captain Mike, Adonis & all the crew of ‘Tonik’.

Catamaran Cruise

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.

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.

Sunset boat dinner

The entire team was amazing! We had such a great day- the hike, some history, hot springs swim and dinner. There are multiple levels, some fully inside with large windows to continue to view the sunset but stay warm. The entire boat is GORGEOUS and well maintained. They provided blankets. Dinner was so delicious!

Very pleasant catamaran cruise.

Very pleasant. Pick up was on time, boat departure was prompt and well organised. Cruise was very pleasant. We met and chatted to a dozen very pleasant people from around the world. BBQ lunch was tasty and varied. Ample drinks of all types. Maybe could have offered tea and coffee as well. Disembarkation was also efficient and mini bus transfer was also efficient. 3 swim sports offered. I Had a swim at red beach where we were out of the wind. A little coolish to start with for a 74 year old Aussie at the end of April but fun anyway. Nice sunny day with about 20km wind from the north west. Good day out and recommended.

Santorini Fishing Private Cruise boat tour - BBQ, Snorkeling

Unforgettable Fishing Trip with Pirate Captain Makis!

Our fishing trip in Santorini with Pirate Captain Makis and first mate Elias was one of the absolute highlights of our entire vacation! From the moment we stepped on board, Captain Makis made us feel welcome, safe, and ready for an adventure. They are genuinely nice guys—equal parts knowledgeable fisherman and entertaining “pirate”—and kept the experience relaxed, enjoyable, and full of laughs. The fishing itself was incredible, but what made the trip truly special was the amazing meal he prepared right on the boat. He cooked the fish my husband caught along with some homemade tomato fritters, and it was honestly one of the best meals we had in Greece. Simple, fresh, and absolutely delicious. Eating a meal you just caught, overlooking the caldera, felt unforgettable. Captain Makis’ passion for the sea, storytelling, and hospitality shines through every moment of the tour. Whether you’re an experienced angler or trying fishing for the first time, you’ll feel completely taken care of. We left with great memories, beautiful photos, and full hearts. We can’t recommend this experience highly enough. If you’re visiting Santorini, don’t miss a day out on the water with Pirate Captain Mikos—it was pure magic!
