    Spectacular service, kind crew that became friends!

    Georgia_C, Jun 2025
    This was my families first time in Greece.. We had the best time traveling and sailing with your Catamaran. Your crew were so serving and kind. We will always do this catamaran tour when ever we return.

    A must!

    Edith_K, Jun 2025
    A Santorini catamaran adventure is a must! I didn’t want it to end! It was beautiful, and the lunch on board was excellent!

    You have to go - -Amazing

    June_F, Jun 2024
    It’s always a treat to do a boat trip to see places from the water and this did not disappoint ! Early season and we were treated to being on the boat by ourselves. The crew were very attentive - Captain Zannis the best - spectacular and close up action of the coastline. 3 swimming spots with snorkeling equipment and lunch! We had a blast

    Absolute must do!

    Ben_W, Nov 2023
    Absolute must do!!! These guys are super organised and efficient from beginning to end! Pickup is great, and the entire experience was faultless!! Great lunch, opportunity to swim and drinks included! One of the best days out! They also stop along the way and show you interesting spots and finish the tour with a lovely sunset. Felt very welcome and included even as a solo traveller.

    Relaxing

    It was a wonderful experience and well organized. The three stops to swim were nicely timed. Would recommend this experience to friends and family.

    Great scenery, great crew, great time!

    My wife and I went to Greece for our honeymoon and this was one of our last activities in Santorini. It really was a great time! The scenery is beautiful, and being out on the water in the sun added real serenity. On top of that, the crew was amazing! They keep the drinks going, the music playing (though not so loud that we didn't enjoy conversation with each other and new friends along the way), and the food was surprisingly good (infinitely better than the sandwhiches and burgers we've had on catamarans in the Caribbean). The service was also fantastic. My wife started to get a bit seasick, and they immediately helped her not only feel better but really enjoy the rest of the trip. One word of warning: the weather forecast can change dramatically overnight or even in the early morning, so don't get too discouraged if it initially doesn't look promising. They're good about monitoring down by the boats.

    Best Boat Tour in Santorini

    Camille_G, May 2023
    I recently had a Santorini yacht experience and it was amazing! The crew was hospitable and attentive to our needs. They even cooked us fresh and delicious Greek food on the boat. Highly recommended, 5 stars!

    Perfect Day Trip!

    Tiffany_L, Jul 2022
    This was the highlight of our vacation to Santorini. The boating was fabulous and the food was the best I’ve eaten so far in Greece. I couldn’t recommend this more - especially as an excursion for families and families with teenagers.

    Worth the price

    Intrepid_Traveler13, Nov 2019
    The cruise was better than expected but with exceptions. We stopped in three areas to snorkel or swim. But when I asked for a life jacket I was met with a bad attitude. I have snorkeled many times, and life jackets are usually required. I was surprised that they didn't want to give me one. They did finally give it to me but seemed very put out by it. Then when we got to the hot springs area (which is the reason I booked this trip), they announced that under no circumstances could anyone go in the water with a life jacket. All the other passengers on the boat gave me a pitying look. It was as if the guy running the show was trying to humiliate me, and also deprive me of part of the activities that I paid for. It was very upsetting. If you are happy to go into the water with no safety measures, by all means take this cruise. It was otherwise enjoyable. Open bar, good food, nice sunset. It was all good, but spoiled by the cruise leader's unnecessarily vengeful attitude.

    Unreal experience and service!

    Samantha_G, Jun 2019
    Wow, all I have to say is wow.. what an AMAZING excursion with such wonderful staff. I did the day catamaran caldera cruise incl. meal & drinks and it was absolutely such a beautiful experience, all the way from the moment you got onto the boat until the moment you got off. You get to go to multiple stops, including a beach, a snorkeling spot, and hot springs. You also get a home cooked Greek bbq meal on board which was DELICIOUS and even grilled while on the boat. Wine and beer are included as well as soft drinks. The service from the crew was impeccable!! They are so sweet and go out of their way to make your day over the top amazing. Definitely recommend doing this, it is well worth the cost and I honestly would’ve paid way more for all that was included!
