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.

This was my favorite part of our bucket list Mediterranean trip! Everything was wonderful. From pickup in the nice Mercedes Van to the crew on the catamaran. If you're on the fence, just do it! The meal that was prepared on the boat was some of the best food we had on our whole trip. Ettiana (I'm sure I'm not spelling that right) was so kind and the captain and other crew member were very knowledgeable about the island and made sure to point out so many interesting facts about the volcanic island, earthquake history, etc...

Fantastic day on the water. Excellent staff and food and perfect time exploring the island while escaping the heat of the city
Reem_H, Jul 2026
An incredible experience! Great vibe, hospitable crew and excellent food! would certainly do it again.
Kristen_B, Jul 2026
An amazing experience I’ll never forget! The boat and operators were absolutely lovely & it was such a great time seeing everything from the water and swimming in it. The food was absolutely delicious too! Highly recommend taking this tour!

Hands down THE best excursion I’ve ever taken (and I’ve done A LOT, ALL over the world). The crew is skilled, safe, attentive, and consummate hosts. The catamaran is well kept, beautiful, and comfortable. The journey is breathtaking. I don’t think I have EVER been so elated after a journey such as this. We were with other groups, and they have their own personalities and needs, but we all meshed well. There’s enough room to do so. Even heading in after the tour is exceptional- many marine vehicles, of varying types and sizes, all heading back to dock- it’s akin to a masterful , coordinated dance. You’ll be blown away. Enjoy, because trust me, you won’t regret this catamaran trip! Kudos to the staff & owners!!!

a must book when traveling to Santorini! We were here on our honeymoon, and this was simply our favorite part of the trip! Amazing views, especially at sunset. Food was great and drinks were awesome. definitely book, you won’t regret it!!!!!

Santorini Star sailing was amazing! I wanted to do a sunset boat trip for my 40th birthday and I checked out other reviews and this seemed the best and they did not disappoint. The crew were lovely and couldn’t do enough for you. The food was amazing and the boat wasn’t over crowded. The music was brilliant too and atmosphere was friendly so overall can’t rate them enough. Big shout out to the Captain Costas and crew Alex & Kiriakos (I hope I’ve spelt that right) who always made sure we had a drink in hand. Absolutely loved it! x x x

We had the best time. From start to finish it exceeded our expectations. All crew were so lovely, the food was amazing and the swim spots were perfection.
Luc_N, Jul 2026
We booked the half-day catamaran cruise, and it was one of the best experiences in Santorini! From beginning to end, everything was professional, and the service was outstanding. The food was delicious, the music set the perfect atmosphere, and the overall vibe was incredible. Watching the sunset from the boat was absolutely breathtaking. This is definitely a must-do when visiting Santorini!

So worth it the crew was amazing and helpful with everything!! We took a 5 hour day trip stopped at all the best places
Jebel_C, Jul 2026
This is experience was absolutely amazing. The sites are breathtaking and the tour was so unique. Although you travel with others in a small group-there was plenty of space on the boat for everyone to relax with comfort. The staff was incredible-big thank you to Dimitri, George and a 3rd crew member. They made the trip wonderful. They stopped at several places and entertained us with history and fun facts. They were very attentive to make sure we had drinks at all times. They made a wide variety of delicious food and dessert. I would recommend only bringing the shoes you came in- they will take them for the duration of the trip so you won't need flip flops to walk around. Bring a towel and you can also change on board after. Bring plenty of sun screen, the sun is strong out there.

I highly recommend! The crew was amazing and the whole group was super accommodating. After a slight snafu getting off the cruise ship they made special arrangements for us so we didn’t miss the experience. I highly recommend!
Kristi_R, Jun 2026
Sunset cruise was great! Crew was very attentive to all our needs. Food was good. Overall a great way to see the island
Jorden_D, Jun 2026
The boat was nice and clean. The staff was friendly and attentive. But we did not enjoy the bbq meal.
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!
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
Shaima_A, Jun 2026

Paula_M, Jun 2026
The experience was wonderful! The crew was very attentive, the meal was wonderful, and the sunset was amazing!
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.
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.
arif_s, Jun 2026
great experience overall, good viewpoints. covered all, good staff and helpful. ample time for swimming.
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.

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!!
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!
Matt_C, Jun 2026
The crew was so accommodating and professional. Wonderful time and a memorable experience. Highly suggest this crew for your next trip!!
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!
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!
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
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!
