This was a great excursion and a great value. The staff was incredible, the catamaran was nice, the food and drink were great and the scenery is like none other. I can’t recommend this enough. It was a fantastic way to spend the day!!

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.

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.

Sunset cruise a must do

Jorden_D, Jun 2026

The boat was nice and clean. The staff was friendly and attentive. But we did not enjoy the bbq meal.

Excellent experience, highly recommend!

Tiffany_H, Jun 2026

Excellent experience, highly recommend! The team was very accommodating. We were nervous about getting back to our cruise ship for the last tender and they made sure we had direct transportation after the catamaran. We were incredibly impressed with their service. The catamaran was really nice, clean, they cooked fantastic food, and taught us about all the locations we stopped at. Our boys, ages 13 & 11, had a great day!

Would reccomend to anyone!

Vicky_A, Jun 2026

We loved this trip - despite the choppy waters! The crew were all fantastic, espcially Dina the hostess who was so lovely, helped take photos shared lots of information with the guests and kept our glasses full. I was really impressed with the food - we had Prawns, mussels, BBQ chicken, salad, breads and Tzatzki, it was all lovely and much better than any boat trip I have been on before on holidays. It was a lovely end to our Honeymoon

Not good

Michele_C, Jun 2026

Do you enjoy the smell of cigarette and cigar smoke constantly wafting in your face as you are trying to enjoy the Aegean Sea air? Do you like blasting party music from the moment you leave port? Do you love the smell of a barbecue grill cooking meat in the covered sitting area? Then this cruise is for you. It was not for me.

An amazing day in Santorini

Amy_K, Jun 2026

This was an amazing excursion. They pick you up where you are staying. The take you to the catamaran and off you go. You get to see Santorini from the water. The food was delicious and there were about 18 of us on the catamaran.

great experience overall,...

arif_s, Jun 2026

great experience overall, good viewpoints. covered all, good staff and helpful. ample time for swimming.

Wonderful Time, wonderful food, wonderful swim

Cameron_J, Jun 2026

This Cat cruise was really amazing! Our Captain Michael was really a good guy taking us to 4 different beaches and we were given enough time to swim at two of them. The water was a bit cold (70F as it was May) but we all easily got used to the temperature quickly! The water was crystal clear with lots of fish to watch thanks to the stale bread Micheal threw into the water. While the temperature of the water in the hot springs wasn't super warm (we jumped off the boat to swim over to it) it was a bit warmer that the normal sea temperature. Zues, our mate and cook, kept us well hydrated (Beer, wine, soft drinks) with me loosing count of how many beers I had consumed. The BBQ he prepared for us onboard was nothing short of amazing! We were 10 guests on a 40 foot cat which was luxuriously large without us confined in any way. Fun to hang out on the trampoline between the dulls out front. The boat was spotless and had a really nice marine head for all to use (lots of beer, yes?). All 12 of us had a really nice time together, such a wonderful experience! I came off a ship and was able to arrange with the tour operator (via Viator e-mail) to pick us up and bring me home about 30 minutes from our small craft dock.

Excellent excursion choice!

Susan_S, Jun 2026

From the first moment, we knew it would be fun. Terrific staff, great weather, mind blowing views and a gorgeous boat. Our group was the perfect size, 12 fun seekers and 4 crew. We ate, we swam, we enjoyed the company and took lots of pictures. Loved every minute!

Awsome trip!!

Matt_C, Jun 2026

Debbie_M, Jun 2026

Fantastic experience from the convient hotel pickup to incredible boat tour of southern Santorini. It was a great way to see beaches, parts of the island and other islands you cannot easily see or experience otherwise. The captain and crew were experienced professionals as well as great chefs and entertiners. Highly recommend!

Loved this experience!

Allie_G, May 2026

The experience was amazing. Transportation to and from the boat and the crew was amazing. We had Phaedra and 2 girls who we found out it was their second day! You never would have known as everyone was amazing and on top of everything. Great service and a great time!

Boating day fun

Sarah_B, May 2026

Kostas, Maria, Lio, and Jim were great. Very attentive and friendly. The food was good and decent sized portions, the waters were a little chilly this time of year but lovely with the sun. I do wish the pick up was a little more streamlined as we were the first stop and it was over an hour before the tour started but all in all a great experience

Better than I could imagine

Jennifer_L, May 2026

Amazing experience. Our group only had 8 passengers, which as great. All of the staff were kind, attentive and professional. The food was excellent. The transfers and communication were easy, they look after you well. Highly recommend!

Good times

Brad_R, May 2026

Great experience. We did learn that booking through Viator was more expensive than paying directly to the company. Another couple paid $240; we paid $340. It could have been a last minute deal or it could’ve been booking directly with the company. The exper itself was amazing and we had a GREAT time

#1 cruise!

Excellent cruising experience

Amruta_D, May 2026

Would 100% recommend for family with kids. Food spread was delicious and keeping dietary restrictions in mind. Very relaxed and enjoyable

What a great tour!

Morgan_R, May 2026

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!

Morning sail

Vincent_A, May 2026

Everything about the entire trip was a dream. Our crew was very friendly and attentive the entire time. Errietta and Nicol were very helpful through the entire trip on the ocean.

You will love every second of it!!

olenkamasny, May 2026

Amazing!

Avneet_S, Apr 2026

The boat was beautiful first of all! Super clean, comfortable It was a long day, they provided unlimited wine and meal cooked on board, the meal was so well done! The water was too cold to swim we went end of april, but the music and vibes were still a great time- this would be the only cruise id ever book again! HIGHLY RECOMMEND if ur looking for a luxurious evening

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.
