Fun for the whole family! I especially enjoyed exploring the shipwreck with the snorkel gear at one of the swim areas.

When I signed up with Viator, I stated what time my ship left and again when the girl came to pick us up. She took us 1 hour to catamaran where the captain said he couldn’t get us back in time. The company or Viator would not give us any of our $365 back. The company tried to find us another boat but to know avail. We lost our day in Santorini and our money. Very disappointed.

Dear Linda,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sincerely sorry to hear that you were unable to make your trip and we take your concerns under consideration.
We would like to take this opportunity to inform you that upon booking on this and every platform the accurate start and end schedule of our cruises is indicated. Due to the specificity of our semi-private tours, the timetables are fixed and are not subject to any modification. This is the specific difference with our private cruises, which we recommend when the client's departure time has to be specific. That said, if we knew the exact time you should return to your cruise ship, we would certainly have directed you more accurately.
We're sorry we didn't meet your expectations and have shared your feedback with our team to help us improve.
We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a more positive experience in the future.

The cruise was a lot of fun and it was great to see such beautiful views! Some of the beaches we passed are only accessible by boat so it made the experience even more special. The dinner was also very good and a nice spread.

It was a nice trip but the crew was not really entertaining the guests like on other boats. It was quiet and chill

Excellent trip, met a great bunch of fellow travellers from around the world. Lovely lunch, well looked after by staff
Ambar_P, Sep 2023
This is a must do in Santorini. Caldera Yachting Catamaran was a great experience.
The tour, which included food , wine and soft drinks, was a wonderful time.
The people were excellent. We could not ask for more. We were taken to the white, black and red beach. Because the total people on the trip is small, we bonded with the other groups and enjoyed our time immensely.
Larry_S, Sep 2023
Had an awesome experience. The staff were amazing, especially Nikos! Great sites, great people, great barbecue on board. We were so glad we booked this excursion. Sunset was breathtaking on the water. Don’t miss this excursion!
Vanessa_V, Sep 2023
Fantastic crew, great group of people and a lot of relaxing, funny moments. Lunch on board was great and the spots to go out and swim were amazing.
Morganne_S, Jun 2023
The boat was nice, and there weren’t too many people on it. The stops and meal were great too. Would recommend.
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Thank you very much for this 5 star review and recommendation.

The sailing was really nice and overall a great experience! The crew was really friendly and attentive and the views amazing. There was plentiful drinks available and we had multiple servings of wine. For us, there were just a couple minor points: 1) It was mentioned in the booking that there would be two swimming stops, but we only had one (the hot springs, but not the red beach - although we did stop there for a couple minutes for photos of the cliff). The food was nice but not very abundant given the number of people (e.g. the chicken kebab sticks ended half-way through the queue).
Andreja_O, Sep 2022
We liked the cruise very much. The crew was very nice and friendly. We seen nice beaches and the Vulcan, had nice little lunch. It was very nice experience. We would certainly recommend.

Highly recommend taking a catamaran trip with Caldera Blue Cruise. Captain & Crew we’re excellent, food and drinks plenty. We were lucky to see an amazing sunset .

This boat trip was amazing, the team were very helpful and shared interesting information with us about the island and it's history. 10/10 would recommend
Handy_H, Sep 2020
Zoi and the crew (Panos - who takes super nice pics and George the Captain ) made our sunset caldera cruising experience magical. We stopped at all the mentioned spots. The sea was lovely and warm, and the food that was cooked for us onboard was delicious. A definite thing to do if you are ever visiting Santorini.
