We have been on sunset cruises before, this one coupled with the backdrop of the beautiful Aegean Sea, friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive crew, great company, music, food, and yes wine. This all culminated in a lovely evening. And oh yes that sunset! Highly recommend

We had a great time. 100% was the best part of our Santorini trip. They coordinated our transportation, brought us to all the best places, thought of everything and had great food. They were super professional and the experience was great

    The cruise was a terrific experience and the crew of the Amos really worked hard to make our experience special. Our tour guides were knowledgeable and the staff went above and beyond to cater towards the dietary needs of our group. The sunset views were breathtaking and it truly was a great way to see the island. I would thoroughly recommend this experience to anyone who travels to Santorini.

    Can’t miss this Santorini Experience by water

    Zenia_L, Sep 2026
    Excellent . The communication was superb and ideal for cruisers. We were picked up near the top of the cable cars . Staff is very nice and accommodating. Great lunch which they cooked onboard. We stopped in three areas to swim. It was one of our best experiences in Greece!

    Catamaran + Crystal Clear Blue Waters = Perfect Excursion

    Kylen_L, Sep 2026
    Time Out crew made for a perfect day on the water around Santorini. From scenic views to crystal clear blue waters to good food and drink, my wife and I could not ask for more.

    Amazing sunset catamaran cruise!

    Matthew_Y, Sep 2026
    We were onboard the Lucky Clover with Manos, Ari and crew who were friendly and professional. The catamaran was stunning and they made us feel welcome from the moment we boarded. There was plenty of wine, beer soft drinks and water all day and the buffet they cooked onboard for us all was excellent. Amazing appetisers, salads, pasta, seafood, chicken and pork. There were several stops where you could go swimming, snorkelling or just hang out on the boat. We had a great group of people on the boat with us- about eight couples so not too crowded. Amazing to see the stunning sunset and have a champagne finish as well. It was a fabulous day out from around 3pm boarding to 8pm finish. Highly recommend and we would book this trip with them again.

    1000/10 experience!!

    candace_c, Aug 2026
    This catamaran tour was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Santorini! From beginning to end, the entire experience was absolutely incredible. The sights were breathtaking, the swimming spots were beautiful, and the service was beyond anything we expected. Our crew — Manos, our captain, Olga, our tour guide, and Nicole, our chef from TIME OUT — were AMAZING! They took care of us the entire day and were constantly making sure we had everything we needed. They were fun, friendly, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel so comfortable and welcome. You could tell they genuinely wanted us to have the best experience possible, and they absolutely delivered. And the FOOD!!! Nicole did an incredible job. Everything was fresh, flavorful, delicious, and plentiful — we were seriously impressed with how good the meal was! Between the scenery, swimming, food, service, and amazing crew, this was an experience we will never forget. It was worth every single dollar and I would highly, highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Santorini. If you're considering booking it, DO IT! ️️️️️

    Absolutely worth it

    Ilinca_P, Aug 2026
    Staff absolutely lovely. Well scheduled with stops. The scenery fantastic. Food delicious. Definitely recommend it.

    Vista Yacht Club club: Santorini sunset cruise Aug 2026

    MrJames_S, Aug 2026
    Crew were nice but immature and inexperienced as hands. Captain was immature and rude attitude. Food was prepared nice but the menu was simple compared to other companies for platinum trip. Others had bbq / grilled shell fish even. Boat was 20 min late leaving so the captain reduced the time at first two destinations by 10 min each. Felt rushed. Sunset was nice but as other had anchored in more picturesque places he kept on going closer to return back to harbour. Overall not value for money. Felt like nothing special.

    Awesome!

    Dominique_S, Aug 2026
    Awesome! This is my second time cruising with this company. And I’ve loved it each time. If you have the opportunity to chill with the captain in his quarters, definitely do so. It’s such a cool vibe. The staff is amazing and the boat is great. DO IT!!!

    Excellent

    Angela_F, Jul 2026
    My husband and I had so much fun. The crew were so nice and went above and beyond expectations. They were our sailors, chefs, bartenders, photographers, etc. I would 100% book with them again.

    Great experience

    steven_n, Jul 2026
    Great tour! Staff was fabulous, especially Olga. We spent the right amount of time swimming and snorkeling. Food and drink were delicious.

    Solid 4.5 out of 5

    Kimberley_C, Jul 2026
    Well organized. Transport to the boat took longer than expected, it was hot AC was not working. Tour was good food was excellent. Person prepping food seemed annoyed anytime you came for a drink or to go to the bag storage area. Otherwise, staff was good very friendly and they helped out the people that were sea sick.

    Very fun day on the boat...

    Ashley_Z, Jun 2026
