Itinerary
After pickup from your Santorini hotel, travel to the old port of Amoudi, where your deluxe modern catamaran awaits. Meet your expert skipper and crew, and after a safety briefing, sit back on the comfortable deck with your group of up to 16.
Then, simply relax and take in the stunning views of Santorini’s caldera and whitewashed towns as your boat cuts across the Aegean waters. Bask in the sea breezes, enjoy unlimited Santorini wine, beers, and sodas, and capture photos as your catamaran cruises toward your first stop, Thirasia island.
Drop anchor here, and take the opportunity to swim or snorkel if you wish.
Next, sail past Palea Kameni island and around the island of Nea Kameni with its smoldering volcano. If you fancy a dip, bathe in the warm springs that lap its shores: Avoid wearing white or pastel swimwear as the minerals can stain.
Back on board, sail past Santorini's spectacular Black Mountain, historic lighthouse, and sculptural White Beach. Pause by brilliantly colored Red Beach for a photo stop.
Along the way, savor a delicious onboard meal. Enjoy dishes such as seafood, chicken, and fresh salads accompanied by complimentary drinks and followed by dessert.
If you’ve opted for the later cruise, watch one of Santorini’s legendary sunsets from the water.
Your voyage ends in the port at Vlychada, at the opposite end of Santorini from where you began. Once you disembark, transport awaits to bring you back to your hotel.

The crew was great and the food they served for lunch was WAY above what we thought we might get. Although the water was too cold for us to jump in, the sail around some of the islands was beautiful and relaxing!
Betsy_D, May 2025
This was a very nice excursion; wonderful staff, very good food which was cooked and prepared on board!
Tricia_P, May 2025
The food was very good. The staff very helpful and knowledgeable. The weather wasn’t bad. No sunset to see due to clouds. But other than that a great day.
Eugene_B, Oct 2024
Ilias and his crew were phenomenal! He had so much knowledge to share about the island, its history, and its geology, bringing what we were sailing by to life. The crew was fantastic and ensured everyone had a safe and fun experience. They prepared a phenomenal dinner for us. They joked it wasn't a Michelin-star restaurant, but in our opinion it was better: a home-cooked meel of traditional Greek dishes packed with flavor!
Loretta_S, Jun 2024
This was a fantastic experience. The crew were really friendly and helpful. The bbq was a good spread of seafood, chicken, sausages. We stopped regularly for swimming which was fab for the keen swimmers amongst us. The highlight for us was definitely the sunset. It was truly amazing!!
Priyani_F, May 2024
It was a lot of fun. But red sea was just a red rock white sea was white rock food was great. Staff was very friendly and helpful
russ_h, Apr 2024
Bit of a mixup. We signed up for the 14 passenger cruise , were placed on on with 20 people, cruise operator promised a cost adjustment. Waiting for that to arrive. Beyond that the cruise was fine and the views were excellent.
Diana_B, Sep 2023

The cruise is fantastic. The food, the crew, the spots are all amazing! The boat is comfortable and the crew do its best to explain the attractions and make the trip smooth since the beginning to the guests.
Hayley_D, Sep 2023
The best boat trip we've ever taken, beautiful catermeran with fabulous hosts. Limited numbers meant plenty of space on board to relax. Gorgeous freshly prepared food and free flowing drinks. Music played whilst we relaxed and soaked up the views and vibes.

Except the trip coordinator wasn’t really doing the job for communicating and trying it’s best to make accommodation on transportations. The experience onboard was good.

Great boat and great crew on the sunset tour! Food was very tasty and the beer and wine were flowing. We were cancelled the first day due to weather but we’re quickly moved to the next day.
Totally recommend!

Top notch catamaran cruise in every way. Entire crew was extremely professional, caring, friendly and BIG fun! Maria and Nick were so attentive and made every person feel special. The Captain knew what he was doing and we always felt safe. Exceeded our expectations. Drink and food fabulous. Plenty of room for the 16 guests on the boat. Beautiful sunset at the end. Would do again in a heartbeat.

Nuno_C, Jul 2021
Absolutely fantastic! I expected to be good but not that good! Super friendly staff, music, really nice food! For sure it worth the money spent
Nakia F, Apr 2018
This was a really special experience to remember. The staff on board are probably what made the cruise so nice. It was a really laid back cruise where I remember everyone was happy. We got to relax to music as we sailed around and we got to go swimming in the beautiful blue ocean.

An amazing experience. The crew was accommodating and very friendly. The meal was delicious with a good variety. The stops along the way were also beautiful, albeit a bit rushed. Lasted closer to 4 hours rather than 5, but this may be due to earlier sunsets later in the year. Highly recommended.
Odis M, Sep 2017
It's not 5 hours, it's 4 hours exactly. You watch the sunset while the boat is moving immediately to the port to drop you off. So you are extremely rushed watching the sunset. Almost watching the sunset back at the port. I really didn't expect that being that it's so expensive for this tour.
