The catamaran was great! The crew (Captain: John, crew: Nicol, Erietta, Vaggos) were FANTASTIC! They truly made the experience. They made great food (way more than we were expecting) and were constantly attentive to our needs. Even during a colder time the water wasn’t bad and a great time to swim in. Definitely book with them because it was the best!

    Itinerary

    Your experience begins with pickup from your Santorini hotel and transfer by air-conditioned bus to the marina. Jump aboard your comfortable catamaran, grab a beverage from the open bar, and settle in for the short journey to your first stop, the Red Beach, so called for its unique color.

    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.

    We had an amazing time cruising around Santorini seeing the beauty of the island and some spots that are only accessible by boat. Julia and Alex were excellent hosts/guides. They were warm and welcoming and very informative. Julia’s cooking was amazing and we had a great dinner on board which was one of our favorite experiences during our time in Greece. Alex was great vibes and always checking on everyone to make sure we had everything we needed as well as sharing some history of the island. His dance moves were quite impressive as well. Bill was an excellent captain. The sailing was smooth and safe and we got to see so much action of the island during the cruise. We highly recommend anyone visiting Santorini to take this trip.

    Create an unfortunate memory

    Rebecca_H, May 2026
    If you must take a sunset cruise. I will suggest to go with them. The trip is exactly like the Itinerary described. The catamaran is new and clean. Both hostesses and captain are very attractive. We were offered wine and beer as soon as we got on the boat and then there were snacks, dinner and fruits throughout the afternoon. It was an amazing experience for me.

    Excellent cruising experience

    Amruta_D, May 2026

    Best way to experience the Agean sea. The staff was so welcoming and always offered a drink. Food was fresh and delicious. We had two young kids and they always made sure they were safe and having fun.

    It was social and informative, and a wonderful way to see the landscape. The crew was beyond fantastic!! They made the entire experience genuinely fun and were beyond accommodating.

    THE highlight of our Santorini Trip

    Tiffany_C, Nov 2025
    Absolutely wonderful time! This was hands down our favorite experience in Santorini. A must-do activity while you’re on the island! Our team (Natalie, Alex, and Giannis) was top notch, and kept the energy high while also stopping at key points to explain the history surrounding certain areas. The food was DELECTABLE! Honestly probably some of the best food we’ve had while we were in Santorini - and this was all cooked and prepared on the Catamaran. Bravo to the crew! We will be sure to share and recommend this activity to our family and loved ones!

    Amazing experience, highly recommended

    Jonathan_L, Nov 2025

    A day to remember

    Nicola_B, Oct 2025
    My family and I had the most amazing time on this day out! We were a group of 15 so we were lucky enough to have the catamaran to ourselves! From the pick up, the beautiful food provided, unlimited drinks from the bar and an amazing crew, it made for the perfect day!! We stopped along the way to swim in the most crystal clear water, and finished the day with the most breathtaking sunset! You will not be disappointed with this tour. The crew were amazing and professional and took great care of us. Thank you so much. I would highly recommend booking this tour.

    Must do experience!

    Benjamin_D, Oct 2025
    Be ready to jump in the water for the experience. The crew- Mika, Kostas & Captain Bill goes above & beyond the experience - Service, Hospitality, & concierge. The food spread was incredible. And of course have fun w/ the company you’re with. So highly recommend

    Wonderful Cruise

    Anne_S, Oct 2025
    It was an amazing experience. Crew was the absolute best! Natalie, Mariq & Ewq could not di enough for you! Food and drinks flowed throughout the cruise. The meal of greek salad, grilled chicken, shrimp, mussels and vegetable pasta was delicious. We cruised almost 5 hours, great way to see the islands. Stopped twice to swim and snorkel. Highly recommend this cruise to anyone!

    We'll be back 100%

    Alan_M, Oct 2025

    Meygan_N, Oct 2025
    Mika, Kostas, and Bill were phemoniminal! We had such a blast! The food was tasty, the stories and history were memorable, the sense of humor brought everyone on the catamaran together. I have never experienced something like this and 10/10 I reccomend ^_^

    Fun day on the water in Santorini

    Shelly_S, Oct 2025
    What a fun day on the water! The staff Bill, Mika and Kostas were very welcoming and knowledgeable! The food was the best that we have ever had on a boat excursion. We had plenty of room to move around and it was not crowded. We had 4 different stops to swim and snorkel. It was a wonderful day on the water in Santorini!

    10/10 experience in Santorini

    Lauren_A, Oct 2025
    You get picked up by a nice van and arrive at the boat. The crew were amazing. The boat was amazing, we sat in the front and laid on the nets. The views were amazing. 3 swimming spots, 2 snorkeling and one volcanic hot springs (not super hot but still warm!) The sunset view was incredible. The food was out of this world. plus…. all the beer and wine you want!

    Don't miss this experience!

    Marnie_H, Oct 2025
    From the pick up and wee tour through the town with lots of info on the island to the minute we stepped on the boat.... It was top notch! Thank you Giannis, Ellie and Alex. The sites, food, and hospitality was amazing. Only 14 of us on the boat so felt private. Saw all the places mentioned in itinerary. Nice fresh towels and blankets.

    Brilliant day on the water

    Kathy_H, Oct 2025
    This a great small group experience. It was very comfortable on the boat. The crew made you feel very welcome. The food was amazing. They were very generous with drinks and snacks. The views were lovely and we appreciated being dropped off at the end in Oia close to our hotel. The drive to the pier where we embarked was a bit long with a lot of stops but overall a great experience.
