Great cruise

tunajus, Oct 2024
We had so much fun on our private cruise. Our host/captain Spiro was awesome. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about Greek culture and history of the island caldera. The views were breathtaking and out of this world, way beyond our expectations. Transportation to and back from the cruise was on time. We had a great time

Not what we expected

Herberth_G, Sep 2024
The itinerary was good and was what made the ride a good ride. Unfortunately The driver was not friendly and made things uncomfortable and so it wasn’t what we expect it. I wouldn’t recommend this ride.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Dear Herbeth , First of all we would like to thank you for the feedback. If you are talking about the skipper of the motorboat unfortunately our skipper had a serious problem this day and we had to use an other skipper so we will not cancel the last min the cruise. Thank you again to let us know so we will not work with him in case we need him again

Excellent

mandeep_d, Jun 2024
The captain was patient and explained the surrounding areas. The transfers to and from the port were awful…rude and did not engage or speak any English

Recommend!!

The sailor and guide on this private tour were super amazing. They really did a fantastic job with the stops , photos , entertaining kids and the fresh cooked food !!

Highlight of Santorini

Jamie_M, Jul 2023
Very well organised. We were picked up just near our hotel and taken to the marina, quite far from Fira. The boat was fast, clean and driven well by our skipper who was really friendly and who seemed to love showing us Santorini from a completely different perspective from the hustle of the busy towns. We swam at Red Beach and White Island where the water was super clear. In between our skipper had prepared a light snack with fresh fruit and wraps. We covered a huge distance, so thankfully the water was very flat and calm. The itinerary was well planned. There was food, refrigerated drink, towels, snorkles and a toilet on board. The hot springs were just a bit disappointing as they were not that hot and there was some rubbish in the surrounding rocks (but still worth a visit as the lava formations are something different then I've ever seen). We were taken to a rustic restaurant right on the water's edge in Thirassa which had the most authentic Greek food we have had so far. On the way back we had a glass of wine and looked out at the famous sunset over the open water.

Demetri was very accommodating and even though the weather was a little sketchy; we had a great time

Response from Host, May 2023

thank you very much for your review mrs Casey. we hope to see you again on Santorini

Great!

sarah_k, Oct 2022
This was a great half day tour for a family. It was very relaxing and fun. Got to see all the top sites.

Perfect for an unforgettable Santorini experience!

Marco_S, Jul 2022
It was a great experience! The team was easy to communicate with, always. And they were accommodating: our schedule was tight (our cruise ship leaving at 8 pm) and they worked with us to reschedule the activity. The round-trip transfer was seamless. Petros, the captain was super nice and took us to beautiful places that you would NEVER reach - unless you go with a local. My wife and my daughter are big Mamma Mia (the movie) fans - and Petros wowed them by playing the Mamma Mia soundtrack.

Not worth it

Ranjit_T, Jun 2022
Driver was late. Boat coming back in was late and then the group on it before us took forever getting off. So we were 1hr behind schedule. It was therefore a 4hr trip not the 5. There was no wiping down/cleaning/disinfecting of surfaces after previous group got off and before we got on. We chose not to get off at Thirasia for food because 1) it was too early for dinner 2) we had a restaurant reservation for later in evening in Oia, the captain therefore parked up for over an hour. It was so boring. Overall, really not worth it. Staff were nice enough though - the pick up/drop off drivers and captain. No complaints there.

Response from Host, Jun 2022

Dear Ranjit, The driver was late at your pick up as I remember about 7min because of the big traffic in oia but the cruise because of the late sunset is around 16:00-21:00 so we were not out of the schedule. Also , there is traffic at the port when all the boats come back the same time . About your cruise maybe you lost 15min not 1h as you told because we are trying to fix it when we see that there is traffic but if i am wrong for the hours I am sorry. In thirassia island we stop for free time to swim at the beach or for meal in the restaurant but of course you could inform each time you wanted our skipper that you want to leave for an other beach because it is private and you manage the program. I am really sorry if we disappointed you about the free time on thirassia and the small delays of the waiting.

Very good experience for...

ENRIQUE_B, Sep 2025
Very good experience for 5hrs!! Captain Spiros made the trip enjoyable and recommended an amazing restaurant on one of the islands we stopped. Good tour and complete if you want to see the places inaccessible by car or walking.

Skipper Peter was very pleasant, patient and extremely reassuring. He made us spend an exceptional half day and for me that will be unforgettable.

Crucero agradable pero mejorable

TatianaVilchez, Jul 2022
El crucero en generan bueno, el driver que nos recogió del hotel a la hora esperada! Pero hay puntos mejorables! Llegamos al puerto y el barco no había llegado. Tuvimos que esperar casi un cuarto de hora a que desembarcaran las chicas del paseo previo. No hubo limpieza del barco e inmediatamente subimos nosotros! No nos ofrecieron ni fruta ni bebidas como decía la reserva. Tuve que pedirle y solo me dieron un vaso de vino y a mis hijos una cola ( marca blanca). No hay wifi, a pesar que en la reserva dice que si. No nos llevó ni a los hot springs, ni pasamos por la bahía de amoudi como decía la reserva… en thirassia nos dejó a la entrada de un restaurante mega caro, sin ningún tipo de sugerencia. En fin, el barco bien, lo disfrutamos, pero nos sentimos algo decepcionados..

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Dear Tatiana, First of all we would like to thank you for the review. As i asked the captain he told me that Because of the wind there was a small delay until the motorboat arrives at the port for this reason the boarding and disembarkation was quickly so you will not lost time of your cruise. About the plan of the cruise because of the wind he needed to change the basic program for safety. He took you at the hot springs of the volcano for swimming.as far as the wifi . There is wifi but there was a problem with the signal this day. Final, when you arrived at thirassia island he told you that there are two restaurants that we stop for meal but he told you that you can anywhere you want. Thank you, Martha
