Itinerary
Not even a mile away the romantic settlement of Oia, lies the isle of Thirassia, for which it seems that time has stopped in another era. An amazing opportunity for every guest to swim and snorkel at the turquoise waters of Thirassia Island's bay which is almost always calm.
The volcano of Santorini. The one that erupted in 1.600 BC and created the amazing caldera of Santorini. The black rocks look like crystal where a dive at the therapeutic waters of the Sulfur Springs.
After Thirassia Island we continue our cruise to the Nea Kameni islet. One of the two volcanic islands that are preserved until today, filled with black rocks made from lava, yellow ones covered with sulfur and white rocks covered with ash from the volcano's eruption. Diving into the volcano's waters is an amazing experience since you find yourself floating due to the amount of salt in the water which is way above the average.
You are at the south side of Santorini where at the very end the Lighthouse of Santorini is located, a charming lighthouse tower that “waves” back at sailors that are passing by its bay.
One of the most beautiful secluded beaches of Santorini comes up next. Surrounded by rocks this black beach has crystal clear waters and it is lovely to swim or snorkel here.
The beach colors change as your cruise passes from the Red to the White Beach. This beach is accessible only by boat so get ready to see yet another coastal miracle of Santorini.
The impressive volcanic Red Beach is the perfect representation of what the volcanic eruption created in Santorini’s landscape. Snorkeling at the magnificent turquoise waters and sightseeing at Red beach's scarlet rocks from aboard. This stop is also about gastronomy on board, an unforgettable dinner experience made with the finest ingredients. Do not forget to take photos!
You will have the chance to view from the sea and take memorable photos at one of the oldest ports of Santorini located at the center of the island.
The guests will have the chance to witness the oldest port of the Island. The last brief stop before watching the magnificent sunset of Santorini.

We had an incredible cruise experience with the crew, very friendly staff, incredible food (probably the best we have had on the island), and breathtaking sunset as well as different spots! Highly recommend for a beautiful half day in santorini.
During our five day stay in Santorini , we had the pleasure of enjoying a sunset sail on the catamaran “Spooky”. The evening was perfect! The crew was knowledgeable, and the food was delicious! My wife and our twin daughters had a great time! Thank you ☺️ -Mark
This became the highlight of our trip. Surprised my wife and she loved it. Both the sailers were so helpful and fun to travel with. The food they cooked was the great. Watching sunset from the cruise is a golden experience. Recommend to everyone.
From start to finish this was the best cruise! Greeted by Capt Yannis and first mate George. I feel horrible but the woman that was also part of the crew I forgot her name. They were all absolutely over the top amazing! Our boat was 3 months old called The Spooky. Food was delicious , drinks were great. We had the best group of people. Everything about this was amazing! Highly recommend.
We had an amazing time on our private sunset catamaran cruise in Santorini! From the moment we hopped on board, the crew made us feel so welcome and relaxed. Captain George was fantastic—super friendly and an excellent captain and BBQ chef. Evans, the first mate, was always there to help. He made sure everything ran smoothly and was happy to answer any questions we had. Irini, our hostess and chef, was wonderful. She served up incredible Greek dishes and made sure everyone had what they needed. Her smile and positive attitude made the cruise even better, and she was an amazing photographer! Santorini looked absolutely stunning from the water. We got to swim in the caldera, enjoy the sunset, and take in the amazing scenery from a beautiful and well-kept catamaran. We loved every minute and highly recommend this cruise. Captain George, Evans, and Irini are an awesome team who made our sunset cruise very special.
Everything was as promised. The driver picked us up right on time. Sweet and welcoming crew. The katamaran was clean, food was delicious. Breaks for swimming. Georgious sunset was a cherry on a pie. 5 hours went by really fast. I recommend you book DeLuxe with less people on board.
We had a truly unforgettable experience aboard Carpe Diem with Renieris Santorini Sailing Center. From start to finish, everything was beautifully organized. The views were breathtaking — especially the magical sunset over the caldera, which felt like something out of a dream. A special thank you to Georgia, George, and Isidora for their warmth and outstanding hospitality. The food was delicious, the facilities were excellent, and the overall atmosphere was both relaxing and elegant. Sailing with Carpe Diem was one of the best highlights of our trip to Santorini. Highly recommended!
The tour was exceptional, the service amazing, and even the food they prepared on the catamaran was as outstanding. This was a memorable splurge and well worth it. A must do for a couple spending their anniversary or just celebrating life in Santorini!
A vacation highlight! The boat was exquisite, and the crew was friendly and informative. We were able to visit various highlights around the caldera and swim in different spots. The dinner cooked on board was better than any we had at Santorini restaurants. Our teens got to control the boat music, which they loved. Every detail was handled. Highly recommend!
the best experience ever!!!! we befriended the crew, swam, watched the sunset, and more. if i could give 6 million stars i would!
