Andrew_B, Apr 2026

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.

Outstanding Crew, Beautiful Views, and a Truly Special Day on the Water

We had an absolutely fantastic experience on this 5 hour catamaran tour in Santorini and would do it again without hesitation. We were picked up right on time by a luxury bus and arrived at the port around 9:45 for our 10:00 sailing. Boarding was smooth and well organized, and with only about 18 guests on board, the group size felt perfect, comfortable, relaxed, and not crowded. The tour itself was incredible. We sailed around much of the island and were able to take in Santorini’s stunning geological formations and unique colors from the water. One highlight was swimming in the thermal area, definitely a memorable experience, though worth noting the water is sulfurous. We also had a second opportunity to swim on the other side of Santorini near another island, which made the experience even better. Lunch on board was excellent and far exceeded expectations. We enjoyed a delicious spread that included chicken, Greek salad, pasta, and dolmades, along with beer and water. Everything was fresh and thoughtfully prepared. What truly made this experience stand out was the crew. The staff took exceptional care of every guest, from providing towels and helping with floaties to offering snorkels and goggles. Helen, our guide, was especially wonderful, warm, generous, and genuinely attentive. She even arranged for my daughter to speak with the captain, where she got to learn about the GPS system, navigation, and how the boat is operated. That personal touch meant so much to us. We returned to the port around 3:00 pm, where a bus was already waiting to take us back, everything was seamless from start to finish. This tour was amazing in every way, and we would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Santorini.

Beautiful Rain or Shine

This catamaran cruise was a highlight of our trip. The food was delicious, too. The weather was rainy and it would have been nice to have a text confirmation that we were still on prior to the trip. Also, people should know that you park nearby & must shuttle down to the boat. It was really a very fun experience overall - these are only small tips! Def recommend! Very beautiful experience.

Incredible!

The Santorini Sunset Luxury Sailing Catamaran Cruise was absolutely amazing! From start to finish, everything was so well organized — the transfer was smooth, the crew was friendly and fun, and the atmosphere onboard was incredible. The BBQ meal was delicious (honestly one of the best we had in Santorini!), and the unlimited drinks kept the good vibes going. We swam, relaxed, watched the most beautiful sunset, and even made new friends along the way. Such a fun and unforgettable experience — I’d recommend it to anyone visiting Santorini! ⛵️🌅

Santorini Caldera Cruise Tour (Volcano, Hot Springs, Thirassia)

Katherine_G, Oct 2025

We enjoyed this excursion...

We enjoyed this excursion that took us to hike the volcano, swim in the hot springs, and visiting Thirassia. We visited in early October so it wasn’t too hot for the hike. The water was a little cold when we jumped in, but we got used to it quickly. The hot springs weren’t that hot but it was still a cool experience. We had gyros for lunch on Thirassia before heading back.

Exceptional crew and amazing tour

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.

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.

Sunset Sailing Catamaran Cruise in Santorini with BBQ and Drinks

Karl_W, Sept 2025

Very fun afternoon and sunset

From the time we were picked up at our resort until we were dropped off we had a great time. The catamaran crew were focus on each passenger having a wonderful experience. Captain Sakis took us to a black sand beach and a red sand beach for swimming. The crew, Giannis, Orestis, and Marios?, put a delicious BBQ dinner together. We then sailed on to the western tip Santorini's north end to watch a beautiful sunset. The entire crew was attentive to all of us. The captain let two young boys "take the wheel" with his guidance. While sailing to the sunset after dinner the crew put on some dance music and almost everyone joined in, finishing with a Conga line. We were very impressed with this crew.

Great day on the water. Viator has awful customer service, book direct!

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.

I went solo and made...

I went solo and made friends so fast there. The crew members are so friendly and amazing. The vibe in the boat is great and fantastic. I recommend it as a solo traveler and based on the couples I met there. The food is a buffet and it includes different types of foods (all Greek) and it’s delicious.
