Loved the whole experience, from the boat, to the food, to the crew, and the destinations. It was such a chill fun vibe for a sunny beautiful afternoon. We did the day cruise and had perfect weather. Our crew were great and we had a fun bunch on board. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone that wants to explore and see the scenery while relaxing on a sailboat for the afternoon.

The crew were lovely, and the lunch prepared was fantastic. There was an ample fresh, tasty Greek style food and they catered for vegetarians. I was disappointed in the hot springs, they were not hot at all, it was a swim in the Aegean. Not the crews fault, but people should know they are not hot bubbling springs. When sitting up the top of the Catamaran the captain and one crew member smoked and vaped which was really disappointing. Otherwise the weather was great that day and it was a relaxing few hours of sailing.

Fun activity for family! Had a great time, good food, and the staff were very nice and friendly. Some things to note but didn’t detract from the experience: The catamaran only motored (no sail). Even though you pass through some sites, not much was told about them. Also you get dropped off at a different port than where you started.

Cassie_D, Sep 2024
I was disappointed as I had deliberately booked this catamaran as I wanted to see the red and white beach, pass by the lighthouse and swim in active hot springs. We however did not find out until we were transferred out to the catamaran from a smaller boat that due to weather they were changing the route. We weren’t given and option to go back or cancel to another day.

The crew was extremely friendly, had a good sense of humor, and made you feel very welcome! The food was delicious! It was a very relaxing experience. Highly recommend!!
Brian_B, Sep 2024
Nice catamaran boat, staff was friendly and accommodating. The lunch was great. You are not able to go on the beaches, but could swim and snorkel near them. It was a beautiful way to see the caldera.
Enrica_V, Sep 2024
Great for the locations we were able to see and visit, as Santorini is beautiful! However, the crew were rude sometimes and called people terrible Americans. Wish we could have been apart of a more friendly atmosphere. Was uncomfortable on the boat.
Caroline_N, Jul 2024
Perfect day. Lunch was fantastic - chicken with Greek salad and sides. Nice Greek beer. Crew was great too.
Pamela_A, Jun 2024
Staff was extremely friendly fly on the boat and we were very well fed!! It’s a smaller boat at the front so not a lot of room to way out and be on your own space, when we got to the point to board the boat we were left waiting for a while because different boats were loading and off loading, it was just a bit random and isn’t mentioned when booking! Other than that it’s a great way to swim in the amazing waters and see the coastline would definitely recommend

We had a great day with sunset Oia! Pick up and drop off from the hotel was made so easy and straightforward.

Gareth_F, May 2024
Catamaran was excellent. Staff brilliant. Food excellent. Company on the trip were also fantastic. Highly recommend this trip.
Rita_B, May 2024
Beautiful day. Exceeded expectations. Everything was as promised with a few expectations. There was no snorkeling equipment and you were not to swim to the beach. Swimming only near boat far from shore. Excellent food. Comfortable seating. Clean easy access restrooms. Friendly crew.
Samantha_V, Apr 2024
The views are insane and so amazing! The customer service was spectacular. The catamaran was in excellent condition inside and out. The crew is very prideful on how they take care of catamaran and their guest. Thank you for a wonderful experience from NYC!
Sheay_J, Feb 2024
Absolutely amazing experience! Great staff, great food and beautiful boat! Most beautiful catamaran I ever been on wish I took better pics. The food was so delicious and they weren’t stingy with it. I ate every drop

They stop at places to allow you off into the ocean but you cannot go on shore to touch the sand. Also, they do not provide life jackets only if its an emergency.
Alison_Z, Oct 2023
Everything on the boat was fantastic. The crew was competent, fun, and informative. The food was tasty and generous. The only reason this isn’t a 5 star experience is the transportation on either end. It says they pick you up at your hotel. That is incorrect. They pick you up at the McDonalds in Fira which was a 10 minute walk from our hotel. The return trip was a disaster. We waited about an hour standing around in the hot sun before the van came for us on the back end. We then drove from place to place for another hour before being dropped back at the McDonalds. All in we arrived at our pick up at 8:50am and got back to that same spot at 3:50pm. We were only on the water from 10am to 2pm.
Diana_G, Oct 2023
We had a great time, the food and drinks were very good, and all employees were very nice and helpful.
lamine_E, Oct 2023
The tour was great, I really enjoyed it. The staff on the boat are very kind, friendly and lovely, I loved it. The food was very tasty and served very nicely. This is the best tour you can choose and they are very organised, even the driver for pick us up was very good. The passengers are really cool too.
Thanks a lot. See you next year for sure!
Douglas_R, Oct 2023
Scenery was wonderful, food was delicious, and the captain's music playlist was great! I'd recommend this tour to anyone who wishes for an amazing day.
Francys_V, Sep 2023
My husband and I were celebrating our honeymoon and this is one of our most memorable moments in Greece. They picked us up by our hotel and transferred us to the bay. The entire trip was so much fun and made better with the crew. At the first stop we had sandwiches prepared, and at another stop we had a complete Greek meal grilled on the boat. They also provided towels and allowed us to swim at three stops for a good amount of time. I would highly recommend this excursion!
Robert_L, Sep 2023
Perfect day cruising around and stopping in amazing locations to swim. Plenty of drinks and the lunch was awesome. The crew were great fun and made the day a very memorable one, can highly recommend?,
