Top Santorini Sailing

This operation really has it together! From pick up to drop off, everything was literally perfection. They picked us up right where our tender boat dropped us off. We boarded the most beautiful catamaran and met the 4 crew members. Yes, 4 crew members and 4 of us! Vito and Xena were the deck crew that took care of us all day. I can’t remember our captain’s name. They let me hook up to the speaker so we could listen to our playlists. We stopped first to see a cute little church on the water and a sunken ferry boat. The water is so clear you could see straight to the bottom. Then we stopped in the hot springs. They definitely aren’t “hot”…..but they are warmer than the sea water. It was a pretty cool experience, but not really what I had pictured. Vito told us all about the island and the volcanos. He was very knowledgeable and his English was great. We stopped at a black beach where you could swim, snorkel, or paddleboard to the beach if you wanted. They also have really nice floaties to relax in. Again, super clear water. Not many fish to see, but that’s expected in Greece. We then moved to another beautiful swimming spot. They cooked our lunch on a grill right on the back of the boat. I think there was enough food for 10 people. Bread, cheese, salad, grape leaves, pasta, chicken, sausage, and shrimp! Xena did the cooking. She’s an amazing cook! It was one of the best meals, and you couldn’t beat the view while we ate! They kept the white wine and beer coming all day. Our glasses were never empty! We stopped one last place to swim where there were lots of other boats moored up so that was fun. Back to the dock, said our goodbyes and a driver took us back to town. This is where the day took a turn (at no fault of the tour operator). Cars can drive down to the dock where the tender boats are, so you options are to ride a donkey, walk for 30 minutes down very steep/uneven steps, or take the cable car. My husband walked in flip flops. He made it, but he said he would never do it again in flip flops. He would if he had tennis shoes on and 2 beers:). The rest of us took the cable car and the line was really long. There is no way of telling how long they wait is when you get in line. We waited about an hour, but I heard the wait can get to 3 or 4 hours. If I had it to do over I would have brought tennis shoes and walked down, or rode a donkey, but I felt sorry for them :(.

We had an absolute blast aboard the Catamaran in Santorini. The crew was fantastic and the food with so good! We enjoyed sailing and swimming in the 3 different areas and had a great time in the sun off the deck. Everyone was so nice!! Would've loved to done the cruise longer but just the right about of sun, sailing and beverages :)

Elani was such a great host and so was the rest of the staff but, she was extra attentive, constantly refilled our drinks asked us if we needed anything. I didn’t feel rushed on this tour at all. We got to stop multiple times and enjoy swimming in the beautiful water. Wasn’t a crowded catamaran I would highly recommend booking here if you wanted to swim in the beautiful Greek ocean.

We had a really lovely sunset cruise around Santorini. The catamaran was very nice and spacious -- about 20 passengers total - a little bit crowded feeling at first, but then everyone spread out and found their own spaces. Most of the other catamarans we passed looked to have about the same number of people. The crew was fantastic and the dinner was delicious. We had multiple stops for swimming (water a little chilly) and got to see the beautiful sunset. We would recommend a light jacket or longsleeves for the ride back to port after the sun goes down. It was perfect for our young teens. The transport to and from the cruise was a bit chaotic and involved some patient waiting, but all in all, we had a wonderful time!

The most magical day! What an incredible surprise to find out that we had the entire catamaran to our group of 9! The boat was pristine, the staff incredible and the food delicious. Kids and adults both loved the experience. They even catered to our gluten and shellfish allergies without issue. I can’t say enough good things. Don’t hesitate to book!

Jumping from one boat to another to board wasn’t fun with my ankle that had 10 screws in it. That wasn’t expected. They did not pick us up from the hotel as promised, we had a short walk. They did not have a normal small bridge to board, we had to use help of two people to get on it. Unacceptable!

Went on the Amorgas today. Alex always our captain and the crew was Silia, Kostas, and Konstantinos. Of the week I spent solo in Greece, this was my favorite. The tour is extremely organized…taking you from your hotel directly to the boat. Safety is a top priority and a close second is an enjoyable and informative experience. The music was great…the lunch was absolutely delicious, and the stops were all just the right amount of time. I met amazing people and had the best day. I can’t recommend the tour enough.

Arsenios our guide was great. With a family of 6, from young to middle aged he kept a good pace engaged in interesting conversations for all of us and was knowledgeable of the ins and outs of history, landscape and picture taking. Definitely recommend.
