Amazing experience

I must say that this was an absolutely incredible experience . Beginning with the amazing and beautiful boat to the staff Captain Savvina and the assistant Annie. The dinner and the presentation were 5 stars across the board. The amazing sights and the sunset were breathtaking. My wife and I are completely satisfied with everything. Thank you again for an awesome evening!

Sailing and lunch with a side of snorkeling and swimming

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!

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.

Nice private sunset cruise with Capt Constantinos

Chartered a private boat trip for 2 with Caldera Yachting. Felt super premium starting with the pick up. Captain Constantinos and his aide Corina were great company. The sail boat, Ocean King, was prepared in good condition. We didn’t actually hoist sails because wind was light, so it was all motor boating (but the tour operator can’t create the wind, and nobody else was setting sail). It was a nice sunny day in exchange. The food was excellent - chicken, prawns, pasta, fava beans, yummy. We opted for a private sail boat rather than Catamaran for two, as cat would have been too large. Sailboat gave us privacy both on main deck , while when we wanted to engage with the captain, we could easily find him on the bridge deck. Caldera yachting were really service focused, so would recommend them highly for anybody who wants to be on the water. Don’t miss the sunset option!

Caldera Yachting Private Tour

What a magical experience we had today! Our wonderful crew Nikos and Xrisa, along with Captain Akis went above and beyond to care for us and provide a once in a lifetime experience! From the swimming locations carefully selected to cater for our kids to the mouthwatering food loving prepared for us by Xrisa and Nikos - everything was absolute perfection. The boat "infinity" was gorgeous and comfortable and very well maintained. We all had such an amazing time!! Thank you so much to Captain Akis, Nikos and Xrisa for the wonderful hospitality! Highly recommended and surely an unforgettable experience!
