Best day EVER here on our trip to Santorini, Greece! George and Elias gave us the VERY BEST sailing experience. It was a dream come true and a day to remember. We did the personal tour and they made us an authentic home cooked Greek Dinner that was one of the best Greek meals we ever had! We highly recommend this cruise! The views we put our eyes on were like heaven! George, if you are reading this… Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!! You made one of my bucket list items come true! Bill and I love you to pieces.. Elias too!!

Outstanding personal boat tour!

Elizabeth_R, Sep 2025

George was a terrific host, captain and guide! His boat was very comfortable - much better than a standard catamaran- and he took us to unique spots and a terrific swimming area where it was less crowded. Our meal was delicious and we really enjoyed his knowledge of Santorini and the sea. Highly recommend this tour! Well worth the money!

Incredible experience

My husband and I did this tour for his birthday. We had an amazing day with George and Elias. George is very knowledgeable and personable. My husband enjoyed talking with George the entire trip. We sailed around the island on the night tour and experienced an awesome sunset. Elias cooked a delicious dinner for the two of us. Definitely recommend spending time with this duo.

Don’t miss this one! Wonderful!

Donna_H, Sep 2024

This was the most seamless trip. The sail was like an intimate outing with friends. Our crew were wonderful about providing our creature comforts and history of everything we were experiencing. We circled the crater and were given options to swim. We didn’t. We were served a home made dinner with fresh seafood and pasta. Don’t hesitate to do this one. We felt like royalty!

Perfect from start to finish

Nathan_L, Jul 2024

From start to finish the trip was simply magical. I actually proposed to my girlfriend on the boat and George helped organise it perfectly from time of booking through to the big day. Food was amazing and drinks superb with lots of personal touches. The best boat trip I have ever been on.

Santorini Paradise

Charles_B, Jun 2023

Simply a fantastic sailing experience. We've had private excursions all over the world but few with the intimate family feel offered by George and his team. Wonderful to work with and a delight to interact with given his world travels and knowledge of Santorini and the sea. Topped off with fabulous meal. Definitely recommend for those sailing for the first time or like us, who has sailed extensively.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Thank you so much for your review!! Looking forward to sail with you again!!!

Private Family Sunset Tour

Kelly_J, Jun 2023

Our Captain George and First mate Ina, we’re top notch hosts on our private sunset tour. They allowed us to see all the brilliance of the Caldera and worked hard to avoid crowded areas. We enjoyed the beauty of the Caldera in its entirety while hearing personal tales of sea and love. Our adult children swam in a quiet spot with ocean life beneath. The food served was prepared with personal touch and attention. It was delicious and one of our favorite meals while in Santorini! We highly recommend this crew for your Sunset adventure!!!
