Highly recommend this boat tour! Our crew, Zoe and Tassos, were the best. Very attentive to us, providing towels, drinks, snorkel gear and anything we needed. The lunch they prepared was one of the best meals of our entire trip! Sea Bream, Octopus, tzatziki, pita and more. We stopped at two swimming spots in crystal blue waters. Zoe told us about the history of each stop along the way. One of the best days of our trip!

5 stars is not enough. This exceeded all our expectations. Captain Tasso’s and Zoe were amazing and the service onboard was impeccable. Our meals were delicious and the swimming locations were breathtaking. This day was the highlight of our trip and we are so glad we booked. We will be sure to return and tell all our friends and family as well. Highly highly recommend! Thank you!!!

Perfect Honeymoon Excursion

Gabrielle_B, Sep 2024
Absolutely incredible boat day! I would recommend this excursion to anyone who is looking for a private boat day in Santorini. My husband and I were on our honeymoon and what a perfect day to celebrate. The boat was absolutely magnificent! We went to two separate swimming spots, one by the volcanoes and one by the beach. We stopped to have lunch which they made on the boat, and it was some of the most delicious food we had during our stay in Greece. I would be sure to rebook this trip next time we are in Greece. Let this be your sign to book :)

AN ABSOLUTE MUST FOR SANTORINI

Alexa_M, Jul 2024
I do not have enough great things to say about this experience. We will never forget this day in Santorini and we will always talk about this boat trip with our family for the rest of our lives. The crew on this boat was amazing and extremely kind, they were very knowledgeable about each point of the island and let us swim and stop wherever we pleased. The catamaran is absolutely gorgeous and very clean, we were able to connect my phone to the speaker system to be able to play music all day and wow, what a difference it made in the experience. Not to mention that the food that they prepared for our family for lunch was one of the best meals we had in our three weeks of being in Europe, I’m not lying! The swim by the volcanoes was such a beautiful sight that none of us will ever forget. We are already planning on coming back to Santorini and booking again with this crew because that is how much we loved it. Our family has booked a lot of boats with private skippers all around Europe throughout our years of traveling and trust me when I say this was one of the best boat experiences we have ever booked. If you are in Santorini, trust me, you have to book this boat with this crew, It was one of the best days we’ve ever had in Europe and we are so happy we were able to find them on Viator!

Go for it!
