We took the cruise in the low season, just five passengers, a really private trip. Jeff is nice. Foods on board is ok, except that they did not provide shrimps. The last moment sunset is stunning. The trip does not go to the sea nearby Oia. But the whole trip is pleasant.

A definite must

Perfect weather, breath taking views and beautiful experience on and in the Aegean Sea. Delicious food.

Not a great bargain

Rebecca_M, Jul 2025
The sailing cruise is nice, however not a deal for the price (120€). It passes by the red and white beach, then stops for a 20 minutes swim, cruises again towards the lighthouse, stops across the sulfuric waters and in the end leaves you an hour and a half to swim in Mesa Pigadia beach and eat the so called “buffet”. It’s definitely not a buffet and not as described on the website. They give you overcooked spaghetti, rice, greek salad, bread, and leathery chicken, all in the same platter. The view of the sunset from the caldera is amazing. The boat was clean, new, and not too crowded, which was very good. Crew wasn’t exactly caring or attentive as they were on their phone during maneuver moments. The worst part was definitely the organization at the port: no shadow/benches whatsoever and we were standing in queue with the lady shouting names and information.

The excursion was...

The crew was very nice and the dinner was delicious. My friend had never been on a catamaran or been snorkeling and she had so much fun. Beautiful sunset.

This was an amazing experience. The crew was incredible, the food was amazing, the views were out of this world. I will never forget this.

Good price for a 5 hour boat ride and a different view of the island

Sophia_S, Jul 2024
Positives: It was great to have a transfer from your suite back and forth in an air conditioned vehicle The meal prepared was plentiful and tasty The captain was nice The sunset was amazing Towels were provided Drinks were provided throughout (wine, beer, soft drinks) Negatives: The boat had about 16 people… expected less but in the end it was ok…. There wasn’t enough time at all at each of the stops to “swim” The initial meeting point and overview is a bit odd, but I guess it’s Greece You weren’t allowed to sit on the nets while moving, but we saw many other boats that allowed it (that’s part of the fun) The snorkel equipment was old and looked like it had never been washed and there was no introduction for people that hadn’t snorkeled before (we became snorkel instructors to others that day) Choppy water (we had people sick on our boat) The water was freezing in mid July There are no “hot springs” the water was actually colder there

Meh… should have booked a different company

Carrie_C, Jun 2024
I booked this since it was a little cheaper for our family of four. We had a great ride over with cushioned seats, but then no good. They were stingy with the drinks and didn’t come serve you except for one time. It said chicken and “shrimps” but there was literally ONE shrimp for each person. We were parked chilling for sunset and wanted to swim after dinner, but for some reason they told us no, we had to stay on the boat- why?! When we went snorkeling, the masks and snorkels were broken, so my son had one and my husband and I did not. There were supposed to be 14 people max, but they had 19, so maybe that was why?! The crew was not super friendly or nice, which is so weird. I have been on catamaran tours in Mexico, New Zealand, and now Greece, but this, again, was not my favorite. You get what you pay for I guess. Wish I had spent a little more for a nicer experience,

Underwhelming and expensive

Swimming near the volcano. We had a quiet spot to ourselves away from other boats. Got to feel hot and cold water currents and sulphur therapeutic effect.

Stunning food scenery and company

Nicola_M, May 2024
Thankyou to a fantastic team for a memorable trip. Everything was fantastic, from the authentic Greek food, the wonderful hospitality of the Crewe on board, great communication from Irene and the stunning scenery and sunset. Worth it all. Also took us back to tender port for cruise ship. Thankyou!
