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!

3hr leisurely boat trip
Nice 3hr trip on a lovely old fashioned type of vessel. The guide on the trip was very knowledgeable about the volcano and guided us up to the top. There was also a stop for us to try the hot springs and the crew were very mindful of who should swim in the sea.

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.

Outstanding personal boat tour!
George was a terrific host, captain and guide! His boat was very comfortable - much better than a standard catamaran- and he took us to unique spots and a terrific swimming area where it was less crowded. Our meal was delicious and we really enjoyed his knowledge of Santorini and the sea. Highly recommend this tour! Well worth the money!

Greece catamaran excursion
If you have motion sickness be sure to take something like Bonine an hour before your excursion begins, sunscreen, water shoes, sunglasses and hat. Then sit back and enjoy your adventure!
The staff were very friendly, attentive and the food was delicious!

Trip of a lifetime!
Trip of a lifetime!
Captain Constantine and 1st mate Karina gave us a most wonderful experience.
We were picked up at our hotel by Tony in a beautiful Mercedes and transported to the port and our sailing yacht.
Taking a private charter for the four of us was the way to go.
We had such personalized service that was first rate.
We had a beautiful cruise around the caldera to our first swimming spot.
Constantine threw some bread in the water to bring the fish out and we were then able to jump in and snorkel or swim.
The sailboat was pretty easy to get in and out of even for someone with a bad knee!
While we were swimming, Constantine and Karina prepared our lunch. This was much more gourmet than we expected.
Grape leaves, mussels with a lemon sauce, Greek salad, grilled chicken and sausage, shrimp saganaki, wine, beer soft drinks…
This was not a typical Bbq lunch but a great spread.
After lunch we sailed to our next spot and Constantine was able to put the sail up for a short time and that was a treat.
Diving into the water again, we had another great swim in the Aegean Sea.
I cannot recommend this private tour highly enough!!!!
We’ve been on snorkeling trips before in the Caribbean but this was beyond expectations.
Constantine and Karina were the perfect pair on our cruise.
I loved talking to Karina about her continuing education and her experience in medical school.
If you are in Santorini BOOK THIS PRIVATE SAILING CRUISE.

Santorini Catamaran Cruise
If you are on a cruise ship you will have to make your way to the upper cable car station. if you have to reach shore by ship tender a morning cruise can get dicey to make your pickup time. With that said Luxury Cruises. helped us reach out driver and went out of their way to make sure we made it on time. Once on board, the Catamaran cruise was absolutely wonderful, stopping at several spots to swim and snorkel. However, their were. masks and snorkel but no fins. You may want to bring your own. Food and drinks aboard were delicious and the crew were super accommodating.

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.

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!

Beautiful Catamaran and Island Tour!
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!

Fun activity in Santorini!
Fun activity for family! Had a great time, good food, and the staff were very nice and friendly. Some things to note but didn’t detract from the experience: The catamaran only motored (no sail). Even though you pass through some sites, not much was told about them. Also you get dropped off at a different port than where you started.

An ancient eruption blew apart the island of Thira, creating Santorini. Today, towering cliffs mark the edge of a volcanic crater, while islets host a new volcano, hot springs, and more. Boat trips are the only way to reach these islands and Santorini’s famed white beach. Choose to cruise on a catamaran or a traditional wooden ship, snorkel from a private sailboat with an onboard barbecue, or savor an epic island sunset with sparkling wine on deck. The top Santorini sailing trips will put the magic into your Greek vacation—every single time.
