Back on board, pass by the White Beach and one of the oldest lighthouses in Greece before arriving at the Santorini volcano and hot springs, where you can take a swim in the purportedly healing waters.
Your last stop is Thirassia Island. While you enjoy a relaxing swim and snorkel in the crystal-clear water, the crew prepares a delicious meal to enjoy when you get back onboard for the return trip to the Vlichada Marina.

Giannis, Alex, and Ellie were our guides, crew, friends for the day and they blew us away with their hospitality and fun energy! They allowed us to enjoy our time all while also making sure we were provided with much needed knowledge of the island. The food and drinks were unbelievably good. We got to swim in the water, and it was as beautiful as you would imagine. We truly enjoyed this and when we come back, we will be booking this again.

We opted for the early half day tour that departed at 10:00am and returned by 3pm. We stopped at 3 different areas to swim including the hot springs. The boat and crew were amazing. They gave us a little history of each area and then had about 30 minutes on each stop except the last stop where we had an amazing lunch . They grilled chicken and shrimp right on the boat along with salad, pasta, mussels, tzakiki and plenty of beer and wine. The crew was very accommodating and friendly . We had the best day!

Please ban selfie sticks. We had 3/12 people literally (not exaggerating) that took over hour long videos just staring at themselves. One girl pretended to get in water and took a whole photo shoot while people had to wait 5 min for the ladder. People on board nice. Didn’t get to swim in spots very long unfortunately, 10-20 min each spot of actual swimming.

Me and my boyfriend really enjoyed the boat trip. The staff were very friendly and informative. I would do it again

It was a great cruise with spacious boat and great crew, the food was good, just disappointing that the group of vegetarians got to sit and eat at the outside table while the rest of us had to sit inside.

transportation needs improvement. You drive around almost 2 hours picking other people up. With limited time on vacation it felt like lost time. The Ac in the van was leaking on us as well.

We were with Vangelis, Dani and Mustapha and they were awesome!
The trip was very pleasant and Dani was very attentive, informative and helpful not to mention that the food was impecable and boat higien was spot on.
Can't wait to come back.

Had such a great time and the boat crew went out of their way to make sure we were taken care of. The food was amazing too!
Krista_H, Jul 2026
Absolutely amazing experience with Captain Mannos, Mannos and Dina. The food, the locations to swim, the photo ops, the catamaran were all amazing! Some of our group said that was the best excursion they've ever done in their lives.
Michelle_G, Jul 2026
We had an amazing catamaran cruise in Santorini with a friendly, professional crew who made the whole experience comfortable and enjoyable. The caldera views were breathtaking, the swimming stops were fantastic, and the food and drinks on board were delicious. Highly recommended as a well-organized and unforgettable highlight of our trip.

Thoroughly enjoyable experience. Great way to see some of Santorini and its coastline. Watching the sunset at the end of a perfect day was the icing on the cake. We were lucky enough to have a great crew and fellow passengers, making this trip one to remember. A birthday celebration that will take some beating.

Tha k you for the experience
Stephanie_S, Jul 2026
This was my favorite part of our bucket list Mediterranean trip! Everything was wonderful. From pickup in the nice Mercedes Van to the crew on the catamaran. If you're on the fence, just do it! The meal that was prepared on the boat was some of the best food we had on our whole trip. Ettiana (I'm sure I'm not spelling that right) was so kind and the captain and other crew member were very knowledgeable about the island and made sure to point out so many interesting facts about the volcanic island, earthquake history, etc...
David_B, Jul 2026
Fantastic day on the water. Excellent staff and food and perfect time exploring the island while escaping the heat of the city
Reem_H, Jul 2026
An incredible experience! Great vibe, hospitable crew and excellent food! would certainly do it again.
Kristen_B, Jul 2026
An amazing experience I’ll never forget! The boat and operators were absolutely lovely & it was such a great time seeing everything from the water and swimming in it. The food was absolutely delicious too! Highly recommend taking this tour!
Kristen_C, Jul 2026
Hands down THE best excursion I’ve ever taken (and I’ve done A LOT, ALL over the world). The crew is skilled, safe, attentive, and consummate hosts. The catamaran is well kept, beautiful, and comfortable. The journey is breathtaking. I don’t think I have EVER been so elated after a journey such as this. We were with other groups, and they have their own personalities and needs, but we all meshed well. There’s enough room to do so. Even heading in after the tour is exceptional- many marine vehicles, of varying types and sizes, all heading back to dock- it’s akin to a masterful , coordinated dance. You’ll be blown away. Enjoy, because trust me, you won’t regret this catamaran trip! Kudos to the staff & owners!!!

a must book when traveling to Santorini! We were here on our honeymoon, and this was simply our favorite part of the trip! Amazing views, especially at sunset. Food was great and drinks were awesome. definitely book, you won’t regret it!!!!!

Santorini Star sailing was amazing! I wanted to do a sunset boat trip for my 40th birthday and I checked out other reviews and this seemed the best and they did not disappoint. The crew were lovely and couldn’t do enough for you. The food was amazing and the boat wasn’t over crowded. The music was brilliant too and atmosphere was friendly so overall can’t rate them enough. Big shout out to the Captain Costas and crew Alex & Kiriakos (I hope I’ve spelt that right) who always made sure we had a drink in hand. Absolutely loved it! x x x
Vanessa_N, Jul 2026
We had the best time. From start to finish it exceeded our expectations. All crew were so lovely, the food was amazing and the swim spots were perfection.
Luc_N, Jul 2026
We booked the half-day catamaran cruise, and it was one of the best experiences in Santorini! From beginning to end, everything was professional, and the service was outstanding. The food was delicious, the music set the perfect atmosphere, and the overall vibe was incredible. Watching the sunset from the boat was absolutely breathtaking. This is definitely a must-do when visiting Santorini!

So worth it the crew was amazing and helpful with everything!! We took a 5 hour day trip stopped at all the best places
Jebel_C, Jul 2026
This is experience was absolutely amazing. The sites are breathtaking and the tour was so unique. Although you travel with others in a small group-there was plenty of space on the boat for everyone to relax with comfort. The staff was incredible-big thank you to Dimitri, George and a 3rd crew member. They made the trip wonderful. They stopped at several places and entertained us with history and fun facts. They were very attentive to make sure we had drinks at all times. They made a wide variety of delicious food and dessert. I would recommend only bringing the shoes you came in- they will take them for the duration of the trip so you won't need flip flops to walk around. Bring a towel and you can also change on board after. Bring plenty of sun screen, the sun is strong out there.
Jennifer_S, Jul 2026
I highly recommend! The crew was amazing and the whole group was super accommodating. After a slight snafu getting off the cruise ship they made special arrangements for us so we didn’t miss the experience. I highly recommend!
Kristi_R, Jun 2026
Sunset cruise was great! Crew was very attentive to all our needs. Food was good. Overall a great way to see the island
Jorden_D, Jun 2026
The boat was nice and clean. The staff was friendly and attentive. But we did not enjoy the bbq meal.
Tiffany_H, Jun 2026
Excellent experience, highly recommend! The team was very accommodating. We were nervous about getting back to our cruise ship for the last tender and they made sure we had direct transportation after the catamaran. We were incredibly impressed with their service. The catamaran was really nice, clean, they cooked fantastic food, and taught us about all the locations we stopped at. Our boys, ages 13 & 11, had a great day!
Vicky_A, Jun 2026
We loved this trip - despite the choppy waters! The crew were all fantastic, espcially Dina the hostess who was so lovely, helped take photos shared lots of information with the guests and kept our glasses full. I was really impressed with the food - we had Prawns, mussels, BBQ chicken, salad, breads and Tzatzki, it was all lovely and much better than any boat trip I have been on before on holidays. It was a lovely end to our Honeymoon
Shaima_A, Jun 2026
The catamaran activity was simply amazing! Plenty of time for swimming, the staff were very friendly and attentive, and the transportation very convenient. The food was good too! Highly recommended!
