Amazing and wonderful experience

We were on the boat Serenity, and Chrisa was our guide. She gave us info along the way as we sailed around. She was great; very charismatic, and fun. Captain Gorge was super fun and even stepped down to take a picture with a part of group. Mousa was doing everything else: pulling anchors and bouys, making our food, cleaned the dishes. He did so much “unseen” work. Thank you for giving us such a memorable time on the ocean.

Amazing boat trip that made us feel welcome and special

Absolutely brilliant boat trip. The boat was beautifully clean and well looked after. Only 16 guests with plenty of room with was lovely. Krysta the stewardess who looked after us and cooked our meal - wow! Food was fantastic and she was exceptional at keeping us well looked after and the boat safe and clean. Boat went out of its way to ensure we got all we wanted from the trip. Highly recommend panorama boat and the experience rather than being packed on with 50/60 people.

Lots of great "boat time"...

Lots of great "boat time" with stops at two swimming spots. Crew of Caldera Yachts' Panaroma was friendly, personable and very safety conscious. Confusion regarding our pickup details (nearby church vs front door of hotel) was anxiety inducing at beginning of the day. That issue should be ironed out for future cruising guests staying at Santorini Palace.

Thank you for your very good review as well as for your comments, which we always take into account to improve our services.

They went above and beyond to share the history, be funny and playful, as well as obliged our request for a true sailing experience and not just motor boating would absolutely recommend this Crew, and this tour!

best boat tour in santorini PANORAMA BOAT AND XRYSA

Amazing boat excursion and definitely value for money only €85 on deal. The food on the boat was amazing, the staff were very knowledgeable and service-minded, and the whole experience felt so welcoming. Xrysa was incredible — very friendly and super fast with service — and our captain Kostas was amazing too. I met such lovely people on the boat and as a solo traveller I would 100% recommend this experience. The island is absolutely beautiful and this was honestly one of the highlights of my trip. The setting was so tranquil and although the was slightly cold it was very calm

Highly recommended!

We went on the boat tour with the Catamaran 'Panoroma'. In short: it was amazing! Captain Kostas is a very skilled captain and knows all the good places plus the service provided by Xrysa and Joyce was just phenomonal. They were so kind to make sure you weren't lacking anything: drinks, amazing food: everything was present. No disregard of safety and hygene on this tour! It also came with a pick-up and drop-off service right at our apartment Abelis in Vothonas which was also really convenient. Definitely recommend this tour as you can see the island from different views and have a lovely swim in the sea.
