Itinerary
Select a morning or sunset cruise when you book. Then, on the day, depart your Santorini hotel by air-conditioned minivan and travel to the jetty for your catamaran cruise.
Meet your skipper and crew, and find a comfortable spot on the deluxe catamaran. Then, sit back and admire Santorini’s caldera and clifftop houses as your vessel pulls away from dock. Relax and enjoy the sea breeze, and snap photos of the views as your catamaran cuts through the waves. As you sail, enjoy complimentary Santorini wine, Greek beers, or sodas.
After a short sail across the south part of the island, drop anchor at the hot springs beside Nea Kameni, Santorini’s ancient volcano. Step ashore and submerge yourself in the warm pools, whose waters are thought to have medicinal powers that help alleviate skin and bone conditions.
Next, stop at the Red Beach. Pause here and enjoy time to swim, snorkel, or sunbathe. Once back aboard, cruise along the coast to Santorini’s southern beaches, including the White Beach.
Along the way, enjoy a delicious on-board meal. Dig into an enticing selection of pork and grilled chicken, Greek salad, pasta salad, fresh bread, and fruit.
Then, begin your return journey. If you’ve chosen the evening cruise, soak up the sight of one of Santorini’s magical sunsets.
Lastly, dock back at the jetty and finish your tour with included hotel drop-off.

At first we were under the impression that this was a private tour. So, we were disappointed when we arrived to learn that it was semi-private. However, we had the BEST time!! The staff was great and very friendly! The boat was clean and pristine. The food was terrific. And the scenery was to die for. I would highly recommend this sunset catamaran tour!!

After 3 Years I returned to Santorini in October, this time with my Teenage Daughter as my Birthday Celebration; looking forward to provide her the experiences I LOVED during my 1st visit.
Unfortunately, it did not go as we all "humanly" planned; as mid tour it began to pour rain & stormed during the time of the Sunset at Sea
(rescue boats were called to be on standby).
THANK GOD we were kept SAFE while at Sea & we ALL returned SAFELY back to our destinations.
Staff was courteous & food was DELICIOUS!
Our Tour-Group were a group of amazing, friendly, caring people from around the world! (London, Philippines, China, Texas, Florida, Etc)
I will need to return with my Daughter for the Sunset at Sea Experience :)
THANK YOU!
GOD BLESS!

Amazing! They were super friendly, the boat was immaculate, the views were beautiful and the food was delicious. They grilled to order our lunch and had amazing wine and snacks. Would 100% recommend. Loved the music too!
Penny_K, Oct 2025
We had such fun on this adventure! I have diet restrictions and they were so gracious in accommodating them, which I didn't expect with a small outing but it was so appreciated. The sunset was spectacular, as was the Captain and crew! Highly recommend!
Tracy_W, Oct 2025
Amazing views, food and staff! Everything was superb from start to finish! You will NOT be disappointed!!!! My group absolutely loved everything! Highly recommend and would do again! The sunset was beyond words! You had to see it to believe it!!!
Alexa_V, Oct 2025
The cruise was beautiful, and the crew was lovely! The food on board was delicious and there was an unlimited bar of sodas, beers and wine. We enjoyed all 3 stops, particularly the stop where we could snorkel with the provided gear! Everyone on board was also very kind and friendly which made the trip great!
The only area for improvement would be communications regarding logistics. We were awaiting to be picked up from the meeting spot, but a van under a different company name than what we booked under was apparently there to pick us up. They were calling names for about 15 minutes but never called our name, we ended up confused and had to ask if we were on the list, and apparently we were!
Overall we enjoyed our experience very much! We highly recommend the sunset cruise option and suggest picking the luxury sailing so that there are less people on board!
Chastity_M, Oct 2025
We were with Sunset Oia. Chris, Katerina, and the captain were very pleasant. The yacht looks new, nice and spacious. It was a wonderful experience!
Susan_S, Oct 2025

Beautiful way to experience Santorini! The crew aboard the boat were very nice and helpful every time we stopped to swim. The 5 hours flew by.
Maxine_G, Sep 2025
The whole thing was extremely well coordinated from pick up to drop off. This cruise was one of the biggest highlights of our time in Greece. The crew was amazing and our group was really fun. The swimming was so fun The meal was delicious and the final sunset was simply magical. Thank you for a wonderful memory

The onboard lunch has more options than advertised. Once you board, they ask if anyone has allergies and they accommodate your needs. The cheese for the salad is on the side, they made a gluten free pasta for a passenger with an allergy, and they gave you the option between pork or chicken.

Every aspect of this experience was great. From hotel pick up and drop off, the beautiful boat, the food and drinks and the staff it was all remarkable. This is a several hour excursion and well worth the cost. Captain Elvin was amazing and the staff of Aristos, Dimitris and sweet, funny Nicole made the event wonderful and very safe. The multiple swim opportunities, and ooohhh that sunset!!! Great music too! Definitely recommend!
Suzanne_H, Aug 2025

Full experience on the catamaran… delicious dinner, friendly staff, amazing views. The crew went above and beyond to ensure guests had the entire experience.highly recommend this activity
Gmalik67, Jul 2025
Super friendly crew. They took time to learn our names and checked frequently if we needed anything. Lovely catamaran and small group sizes made for an intimate experience. Nice, filling meal was served and watching the sunset from the water was amazing
Emma_P, Jul 2025
Really well run tour (actually operated by Sunset Oia). Staff were brilliant and caring despite having 2 tours a day every day. Many on our boat didn't do all of the swims - but I would really recommend you do as each is different (look for the fish - feel the pockets of hot water!)
Kim_S, Jul 2025
What a wonderful evening with the Summer boat crew. They were so kind and fun with everyone on board. The food they cooked for us was amazing. We had six in our group with some other guests, but it felt like a private excursion. The round trip transportation was perfect from our hotel.
Hayley_R, Jul 2025
Exceptional boat trip
Exactly as the description.
Pick up organised and on time.
Food incredible!
Crew attentive and knowledgeable. Fun, polite and it was obvious to us they just take such pride on their boat and their jobs. They just wanted us all to have the best experience. Nothing too much trouble.
Only around 15 on boat, plenty of room to sit where we wanted. Cover if needed towels provided and noodles which were great if need a little more confidence when swimming in sea.
By far the best boat trip we have done on any Greek Island and worth every penny. Thank you so much you absolute rock the sailing world!!
Jeffrey_H, Jul 2025
Great mix of activities-sailing and stopping to swim. Crew very nice and hospitable. Not overcrowded
Tonia_A, Jul 2025
Perfect way to end our trip in Santorini! The crew was pleasant and very helpful. The food cooked on board was delicious and very well put together. All three swim stops were just want we needed after a long hot day. Helen was knowledgeable about the areas we were seeing. Very informative! Perfect day on the water to see a different perspective to the island. Well Done!
Albert_L, Jul 2025
What an incredible evening!!!! From the moment we got on the boat, the crew was focused on giving us the best experience possible. The boat stopped to let us swim three times and each experience was unique including the volcanic hot springs. The BBQ was delicious including chicken, shrimp, salad, pasta, grape leaves - and they had no issue with my dairy allergy. The evening concluded with a sunset that was simply breathtaking. Thank you to the wonderful crew for giving us this incredible memory. Book this trip immediately!!!
mathilde, Jun 2025
This as a amazing experience and a sunset that we will remember forever! The crew was very friendly and attentive and made sure everyone was comfortable. The small size of the group made it a pleasant experience. I highly recommend this excursion.
Jeanne_K, Jun 2025
