Constantin went above and beyond to make our trip comfortable and enjoyable. He helped my daughter who was feeling a little sea sick and was happy to change our agenda to include more swimming. He taught my son different dives and was overall an incredible host and excellent sea man. Niko made an amazing lunch - some of the best food on our trip so far. The views from the boat were stunning and the water amazing. Worth every penny and then some. Definitely the highlight of our trip. thank you!

From pick up to drop off it was perfect. Constantine and Karina had the best meal made for us of shrimp mussels salad chicken sausage bread the best appetizer bevies and yogurt with sour cherries. The swim/snorkle areas phenomenal. They shared their knowledge along the way. I would highly recommend. We did 10 am trip.

Trip of a lifetime!
Captain Constantine and 1st mate Karina gave us a most wonderful experience.
We were picked up at our hotel by Tony in a beautiful Mercedes and transported to the port and our sailing yacht.
Taking a private charter for the four of us was the way to go.
We had such personalized service that was first rate.
We had a beautiful cruise around the caldera to our first swimming spot.
Constantine threw some bread in the water to bring the fish out and we were then able to jump in and snorkel or swim.
The sailboat was pretty easy to get in and out of even for someone with a bad knee!
While we were swimming, Constantine and Karina prepared our lunch. This was much more gourmet than we expected.
Grape leaves, mussels with a lemon sauce, Greek salad, grilled chicken and sausage, shrimp saganaki, wine, beer soft drinks…
This was not a typical Bbq lunch but a great spread.
After lunch we sailed to our next spot and Constantine was able to put the sail up for a short time and that was a treat.
Diving into the water again, we had another great swim in the Aegean Sea.
I cannot recommend this private tour highly enough!!!!
We’ve been on snorkeling trips before in the Caribbean but this was beyond expectations.
Constantine and Karina were the perfect pair on our cruise.
I loved talking to Karina about her continuing education and her experience in medical school.
If you are in Santorini BOOK THIS PRIVATE SAILING CRUISE.

This tour is exactly what it promised. We were picked up from our hotel by a very polite driver and clean car. The cruise was excellent and we had amazing views of the caldera. We stopped several times for a swim and the captain was so knowledgeable. The meal was a good amount and very tasty. My husband loved it so much more than any meal we had in Santorini. I highly recommend this tour. It was worth every penny. The views, the privacy, the meal, everything!!

Thank you so much for this excellent 5 star review.

From start to finish the whole private experience was amazing, we couldn’t rate it highly enough.
The boat was beautiful and Thakis and Nasia were a brilliant team, both friendly and very knowledgeable about the area… they also played an excellent selection of music for the duration of the cruise!
The absolute highlight was watching the stunning sunset with my wife, listening to “A Whiter Shade of Pale”, which is one of our favourite songs.
Would definitely recommend, it really made our holiday, 5 stars probably isn’t enough!

Amazing! Must do when traveling to santorini.
Our captain looked like jack sparrow, it was just absolutely gorgeous
Sonia_O, May 2022
Un super moment en intimité, nous ne regrettons pas d’avoir pris un voilier pour profiter du paysage et du calme de la mer. L’équipage du bateau était à notre écoute. C’est un moment chaleureux et convivial. Le repas était très bon, les paysages sublimes et on eu le droit à une chanson traditionnelle Grec réalisée par l’équipe du bateau. C’est un moment magique et inoubliable qui se clôture par un magnifique coucher de soleil lors du retour au port.
Merci pour cette super expérience!
