100% do this. The most AMAZING people, service and so much fun. Fantastic food and beverages. Great spots to see in Greece. We did this in November so would be even better if that is a possible, when it was hot out. Book this adventure.

    Itinerary

    Your experience begins with pickup from your Santorini hotel and transfer by air-conditioned bus to the marina. Jump aboard your comfortable catamaran, grab a beverage from the open bar, and settle in for the short journey to your first stop, the Red Beach, so called for its unique color.

    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.

    Giannis, Alex, and Ellie were our guides, crew, friends for the day and they blew us away with their hospitality and fun energy! They allowed us to enjoy our time all while also making sure we were provided with much needed knowledge of the island. The food and drinks were unbelievably good. We got to swim in the water, and it was as beautiful as you would imagine. We truly enjoyed this and when we come back, we will be booking this again.

    It was social and informative, and a wonderful way to see the landscape. The crew was beyond fantastic!! They made the entire experience genuinely fun and were beyond accommodating.

    THE highlight of our Santorini Trip

    Tiffany_C, Nov 2025
    Absolutely wonderful time! This was hands down our favorite experience in Santorini. A must-do activity while you’re on the island! Our team (Natalie, Alex, and Giannis) was top notch, and kept the energy high while also stopping at key points to explain the history surrounding certain areas. The food was DELECTABLE! Honestly probably some of the best food we’ve had while we were in Santorini - and this was all cooked and prepared on the Catamaran. Bravo to the crew! We will be sure to share and recommend this activity to our family and loved ones!

    Amazing experience, highly recommended

    A day to remember

    Nicola_B, Oct 2025
    My family and I had the most amazing time on this day out! We were a group of 15 so we were lucky enough to have the catamaran to ourselves! From the pick up, the beautiful food provided, unlimited drinks from the bar and an amazing crew, it made for the perfect day!! We stopped along the way to swim in the most crystal clear water, and finished the day with the most breathtaking sunset! You will not be disappointed with this tour. The crew were amazing and professional and took great care of us. Thank you so much. I would highly recommend booking this tour.

    Must do experience!

    Benjamin_D, Oct 2025
    Be ready to jump in the water for the experience. The crew- Mika, Kostas & Captain Bill goes above & beyond the experience - Service, Hospitality, & concierge. The food spread was incredible. And of course have fun w/ the company you’re with. So highly recommend

    Wonderful Cruise

    Anne_S, Oct 2025
    It was an amazing experience. Crew was the absolute best! Natalie, Mariq & Ewq could not di enough for you! Food and drinks flowed throughout the cruise. The meal of greek salad, grilled chicken, shrimp, mussels and vegetable pasta was delicious. We cruised almost 5 hours, great way to see the islands. Stopped twice to swim and snorkel. Highly recommend this cruise to anyone!

    We'll be back 100%

    Alan_M, Oct 2025

    Fun, humorous, amazing experience!

    Meygan_N, Oct 2025
    Mika, Kostas, and Bill were phemoniminal! We had such a blast! The food was tasty, the stories and history were memorable, the sense of humor brought everyone on the catamaran together. I have never experienced something like this and 10/10 I reccomend ^_^

    Fun day on the water in Santorini

    Shelly_S, Oct 2025
    What a fun day on the water! The staff Bill, Mika and Kostas were very welcoming and knowledgeable! The food was the best that we have ever had on a boat excursion. We had plenty of room to move around and it was not crowded. We had 4 different stops to swim and snorkel. It was a wonderful day on the water in Santorini!

    10/10 experience in Santorini

    Lauren_A, Oct 2025
    You get picked up by a nice van and arrive at the boat. The crew were amazing. The boat was amazing, we sat in the front and laid on the nets. The views were amazing. 3 swimming spots, 2 snorkeling and one volcanic hot springs (not super hot but still warm!) The sunset view was incredible. The food was out of this world. plus…. all the beer and wine you want!

    Don't miss this experience!

    Marnie_H, Oct 2025
    From the pick up and wee tour through the town with lots of info on the island to the minute we stepped on the boat.... It was top notch! Thank you Giannis, Ellie and Alex. The sites, food, and hospitality was amazing. Only 14 of us on the boat so felt private. Saw all the places mentioned in itinerary. Nice fresh towels and blankets.

    Brilliant day on the water

    Kathy_H, Oct 2025
    This a great small group experience. It was very comfortable on the boat. The crew made you feel very welcome. The food was amazing. They were very generous with drinks and snacks. The views were lovely and we appreciated being dropped off at the end in Oia close to our hotel. The drive to the pier where we embarked was a bit long with a lot of stops but overall a great experience.

    Michele_T, Oct 2025
    Wonderful day . The crew was very professional and very fun. We chose the sunset tour . It was perfect.

    A day at sea.

    Tina_S, Oct 2025
    The day was beautiful. The pick up and drop off was seamless. The crew was attentive and knowledgeable. The food was plentiful. The music was a bit loud and off point for the crowd on this particular trip however. The trip was fun but the sunset was a bit underwhelming since the back of the boat was facing the sunset limiting everyone from enjoying it and there are hundreds of boats in the same spot; one pulled right in front of us blocking the sunset. Not sure the sunset cruise is the way to enjoy the Santorini sunset but overall a relaxing day on the water.

    Life don’t get any better. Amazing!

    Toni_J, Oct 2025
    This was a great experience! The boat was comfortable and clean and the crew was amazing. They were very communicative if you reached out with a question. Overall it was a lot of fun. I would definitely do it again. I did the sunset cruise. It got a bit chilly as the sun was setting but the crew was prepared with blankets 😊

    Brilliant half day tour from the water

    Devyn_D, Oct 2025
    It was such a fun half day. Super easy pickup from our accommodation and direct transfers to the port. Once onboard the gorgeous catamaran, the team of Michaela, skipper Natalia and the deck hand (sadly I can’t remember his name) was brilliant. The food was delicious and drinks free flowing.

    Great experience, Best service

    Natalie_R, Oct 2025
    Bill, Julia, Kostas & Maria were exceptional. They prepared great food, shrimp, mussels, chicken, and bunch more. Kostas in particular was very attentive, he has things ready before you ask. Love the experience they provided. Recommend it!

    Sara_M, Oct 2025
    This was so much fun and such a great way to spend a day in Santorini! There was a great balance between the information from our guides and time just to watch the shoreline pass by. Lunch was delicious, and getting to spend time snorkeling was the icing on the cake, making the experience extra special.
