Description

Choose this half-day sailing cruise. Your tour begins with convenient transportation from your accommodation or the closest accessible point. At the embarkation dock, you meet the captain and the crew and you sail toward the most magnificent sights of Santorini Island. Sit back, relax onboard and enjoy a delicious, barbecue meal. You can even dive into the crystal clear waters off the Red Beach to snorkel. Highlights of a morning cruise: Choose a morning tour for the magic view of the white cave-houses on the dark cliffs, under the bright Greek sun. Morning is the best time for snorkeling. The morning tour is convenient for guests staying few days in Santorini and looking for an other activity in the afternoon.

Best way to see Santorini from the sea

We booked the small group catamaran day/morning cruise and it was perfect. The crew was amazing and super friendly. They made an incredible lunch for us that included many traditional Greek side dishes. The yogurt with cherries dessert is the BEST Greek yogurt I’ve ever had. The highlights were swimming in the hot springs offshore from the volcano island and snorkeling near the white beach. But also seeing the cliffs and Skarros Rock were also highlights. It was a beautiful smooth sail. Highly recommend! It was a great value for the price we paid.

Best thing we did in Santorini

This was by far the most enjoyable thing we did in Santorini. Worth every penny the crew: GIANNIS, Angela & ILIAS were outstanding, attentive, fun & super accommodating. The food was incredible. Angela is a great cook. We were super pleased with the whole experience.

Fantastic time!

My wife and I went on the "Anafi" captained by Kosmas. Kosmas and the entire crew, Chris and Katerina, were amazing!!!! The boat was extremely well maintined and clean. The whole experience was very enjoyable. We had an awesome time snorkeling, seeing the beautiful views of Santorini, having a delicious lunch as we cruised around the island, and seeing the beautiful sun set.

Morning sailing day tour, Oia

Wonderful experience, with small number of guests it was sort of semi private tour from Oia. Unlimited drinks, good food and wonderful host of captain Antonio, crew of Ixa, George and company of other good guests. Worth every cent!

Picture Perfect

The absolute highlight of our Santorini trip. We surprised our family with this sunset catamaran cruise on our penultimate day in Greece, and it exceeded every expectation. Crew was delightful, food was delicious, vibes were immaculate. Cannot recommend enough!
