Sunset cruise

The sunset cruise on Evenna was a wonderful experience. The trip was made extra special by our wonderful host Sofia, she went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great time. I would highly recommend this trip if you are visiting Santorini.

We did this tour during...

We did this tour during our honeymoon. The boat was big, and clean. The crew had towels for us and plenty of drinks. The crew was wonderful and kind. I wish that they were more interactive with the guests and shared more about the land and attractions we were passing. The food was just okay.

Santorini catamaran sunset cruise

We enjoyed our day on the catamaran sunset cruise. We stopped at various swimming spots and leaned about the area’s geography. The sunset was amazing! Sophia was a wonderful guide and crew was attentive.

Spectacular excursion

Amazing trip, staff, wonderful service, crew and views! They made my non-swimmer feel safe enough to swim in the open water (huge win for me). I had unexpectedly had to leave early and they even booked a water taxi for us to not miss our cruise ship. Top Notch service! 1000% recommended

A truly special day that I would love to experience again!

I had an unforgettable experience on the Marle boat. The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely caring — they made sure every little detail was taken care of and created such a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout the whole day. You could really feel that they love what they do. The chef’s lunch was absolutely delicious, and I felt completely recharged afterwards. Amazing views, stunning spots for swimming and snorkeling, and such a peaceful, welcoming atmosphere. Everything was perfectly organized, yet the experience felt relaxed and effortless.

Spaniards on a catamaran through Santorini

Very good. Very professional in terms of boat management, food preparation, and offering drinks at all times. We missed them encouraging the people a little, it was quite calm and they didn't interact with each other... Only at the end, 1/2 hour before arrival...

Unforgettable experience

★★★★★ The best catamaran experience in Santorini! We had an incredible time with Galini Boat and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Captain George and the hostess were absolutely wonderful. They were kind, attentive, and explained everything clearly, making us feel comfortable and welcome from start to finish. The whole trip was beautifully organised, and we enjoyed every single moment. Their positive attitude and attention to detail made the experience even more special. Thank you, George, and thank you to the whole Galini Boat team for giving us such an amazing day. We will remember this experience for a long time. See you all soon! 🇬🇷❤️ Best greetings from Romania 🇷🇴 Highly recommended, 5 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
