Top Santorini Sailing - page 4

Our boat captain Janus (local Santorini) and first mate/chef Kareem took us on a lovely catamaran tour. They were very professional, knowledgeable about the island and provided great service. The boat was very comfortable and clean (had a bathroom). We saw the red beach, black beach and anchored near the white beach and cruised through the middle of the caldera and then positioned the boat for great views of the sunset. I did not get in the water at the white beach, but my husband enjoyed snorkeling with the equipment provided. We had a delicious dinner with authentic food and watched the sunset. A dream day in Santorini, highly recommend.

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.

I can’t recommend this enough - Captain Makis and his helper Elias hosted a great tour. We went for a sunset tour in the early season, so we didn’t do any snorkeling or swimming, which was good for us because we were there for the fishing and tour! Captain Makis took us trolling around the caldera, and Elias told us all about the history of the various islands, the eruptions that formed them, the people, and so much more! Toward the end, they cooked up the fresh fish and made a fantastic dinner. After dinner, we trolled a bit more and learned even more about the captain. We stopped outside Ammoudi to watch the sunset from the bay, then headed in. Overall, we loved the experience and would recommend it to anyone!

This tour was amazing. The staff of the Santana was great, they were friendly and extremely helpful as I got sea sick and they came to check in on me and make sure I was okay during the entire ride. The food was also very good and sunset view was beautiful. I definitely recommend this experience.

What a wonderful outing we had. The boat and staff were phenomenal. It was one of the best meals we had in Greece. I would take this trip daily if I could! BOOK directly with the boat company. Viator screwed up the reservation and they are trying to charge me for it. Just call the company directly and you won’t regret it.

What an amazing experience, Tito and the crew go above and beyond to make the day one to remember, guided tour of the volcano, swimming in warm mineral water and then the bluest water I have ever seen, buffet tea was delicious complemented by local wine and beer. The evenings highlight was the sunset for sure. As we sailed back to port the Boat turned into a mini disco with Tito again doing a great job of entertaining us, Fully recommend the tour, many thanks Melissa @ Mark @ Aust

10/10 experience. Our tour guide was absolutely exceptional, personable and professional, and he even serenaded us with some Greek songs while watching the sunset over the Oia caldera. While I wasn’t originally looking forward to the volcano, I can honestly say it was fantastic to see and to learn the history/geology of Santorini and the surrounding islands. Make sure to pack hiking shoes because it’s a decent hike to the peak! There’s plenty of time to explore and take breaks on the hike up. Overall, this tour was the highlight of my trip to Santorini. You really can’t go to Santorini without seeing the famous sunset from a boat, and this excursion is the best way to do it!!

What a great day onboard this gorgeous catamaran! The driver picked us up in Oia at our hotel and took us to the port at Amoudi Bay, Oia, where we caught the boat, which was great, since we were staying in Oia! We took the morning cruise, since we could already watch the sunset from our resort balcony! There were about 10 other people on board with us, which made for a pleasant experience, as the boat was quite roomy! There was also an upper deck, so plenty of room to move around! The Captain and crew were super nice, skilled, accommodating and informative. We felt very safe and well taken care of as we cruised around the different sights. They fed us a wonderful meal, with a choice of chicken, fish or pork chops, which they grilled onboard. There were plenty of side dishes to go along with it too, plus dessert. Drinks were offered on board too! We were able to swim or snorkel at several stops. We didn’t swim to the hot springs, as we were told the minerals might stain our swimsuit. Be sure to wear darker colors if you plan to swim there. I regret not swimming there, because the water was cold at the places we swam! After a wonderful day enjoying the beauty of Santorini aboard our gorgeous boat, we were dropped off at the same location where we were picked up in Amoudi Bay. The driver was waiting for us there and took us back to our resort seamlessly! We highly recommend this morning catamaran tour! Good music was playing and it was such a nice and relaxing day! We look forward to going again when we return to this beautiful island! Thanks to the Captain and entire crew for a great day!
