Itinerary
One of the most beautiful beaches on the island. Its distinct red coloration is caused by the rich in minerals and iron soil. Stop to take some photos.
White Beach, which is only accessible by boat. A stop for swimming and snorkeling is highly recommended. No one can resist the crystal clear blue waters with the rich underwater environment and reefs.
Mesa Pigadia bay is where we stop for our 1st swim or relax on board session. We do not drop you off at the beach.
Sail below the Indian Rocks near the caves and rock formations, characteristic to the Aegean landscape.
Stop at the hot springs for a swim session at the sulfurous waters that offer a natural spa.
We sail towards the volcano and explain the volcano explosion.
Cruise past Thirasia Island, admiring its dramatic caldera from sea level, with views of the traditional taverns and historic harbor houses nestled in Korfos Bay.
Our experience will end at the southern Port of Vlychada.

We had a fabulous day on the water with the crew of the Caldera. The drinks were plentiful and the lunch was delicious. We all agreed this was the best excursion we did this trip.
This experience was the highlight of our time in Santorini!! Our catamaran from Spirdakos was in pristine condition. Our crew- Yanis, Vito and Zina were fantastic. They were professional and attended to our every need. We saw amazing scenery. Had several stops for swimming and they cooked us a fantastic lunch- one of our best meals on the trip. We saw lots of catamarans from this company on the water and they are clearly a very well run, organized company with amazing boats and great crews. I usually have sea sickness and had none on this boat. This will be one of our best memories of our trip to Greece. Worth every penny!! I can’t say enough about how amazing it was. And our driver Kostas that got us back and forth to the dock was awesome too!! Gave us some history of the island and was also waiting for us after our boat ride. Highly recommend this excursion!!!
Everything and everyone was excellent and so friendly. Lunch was fantastic and the crew were great as was the driver that took us to and from the ports
Awesome experience. Transport to and from hotel to dock. Boats are very well maintained and crew was great. Scenery was beautiful and swimming was very pleasant. Lunch was delicious. Would book with them again. Was the teen kids' favorite part of the whole vacation.
Awesome experience. Couldn’t have asked for a better time. The crew was awesome edi, Zina, and Vito were great. Would strongly recommend to others
Remarkable experience - the crew was so friendly and helpful, the sights of Santorini’s coast were amazing. Would recommend this to anyone.
We had a really fun day aboard with the crew (Alex, George and Faez), and communication/customer service by the company was excellent. I’ve gone before with a “public” group, but having the catamaran to just the 12 of us was awesome! Lunch was excellent - freshly prepared Greek salad and spaghetti, grilled chicken, shrimp and sausage, garlic bread. Endless white wine, beer and soft drinks - and fun swim stops. Snorkels, towels and freshwater shower on board. I highly recommend!
Excellent experience! Everything was prefect! The boat, the crew, the food….even though the weather was a bit chilly, we still had an amazing time!
Our private catamaran tour in Santorini was perfect from start to finish! Our driver was friendly and shared a lot of cool information about the island. Then, the crew of three sailors went above and beyond to make the day unforgettable! They were made us feel completely comfortable the entire time. They took tons of great photos for us so we could just relax and enjoy the stunning views. And the lunch… WOW! It was truly a feast! This experience was the absolute highlight of our trip.
My friend and I did a private catamaran day cruise and it was a truly amazing experience! The private cruise was 100% worth it if you have the budget. I feel like we truly lucked out with our crew that made the whole experience unforgettable. I can’t recommend this experience enough and that is really thanks to our crew of Petros, Isidora and Chef Adik on the Caliente catamaran. What made it even more memorable was that we got to truly sail for a good part of our cruise instead of just using the catamaran’s motor. In the past, I’ve been a bit nervous about sailing, but this has totally changed my mind. We wished we could have stayed on the boat all day. We started at the very bottom of Santorini, sailed past the red and white beaches and the Akrotiri lighthouse up in to the caldera, where we got to swim to and in the hot springs. Then we sailed to Thirasia where we were able to anchor in some of the most beautiful water we’ve ever seen(!!). This was where we had the lunch that Chef Adik had prepared while on the boat (he was cooking throughout the cruise until we stopped for lunch). And then we got to swim again in the waters off Thirasia before we VERY sadly had to head back to the port. Thank you Spiridakos Sailing and to Petros and crew for what is definitely one of my all time favorite travel memories!
