Amazing experience

They were very patient and kind. The boat was in excellent condition, everything was explained upfront and we had an amazing time. They recommended a spot for us to anchor and when we got there, it was absolute perfection. I recommend 100%

Highly recommend!

A bit hard to find the meeting point, then had to contact provider and wait for their arrival. However, after that the service was great, explained where we could go and clear instructions on driving the boat. They even got us ice for the esky. We had a wonderful day out on the water and enjoyed the flexibility of doing our own thing.

You will regret not booking this!

We booked at tour for 3:30pm -8pm to view the island and the spectacular sunset on a licence free boat supposed to be 30hp but later found out we were upgraded to the 50hp boat free of charge. This is a must do for this island if you like to have independence and go visit all the neighbouring islands, we had the most fun ever!! The value for money is the best you will get, the people running this are very friendly and willing make sure you know what your doing before letting you out in the water and we got to leave 30 minutes early. They only charged for the fuel we used and nothing more which is very honest of them. Please don't hesitate to book this trip as it will be the best time you will have and works out cheaper than doing any watersports offered on the island I can't recommend this enough, we were given a coolbox with water, icepacks and some crackers all included in the price. Best ever experience. Even the wife had a go and she was nervous at first but the good thing is you can go at your own pace and see some spectacular views of the island you just cannot see from land and you have the privacy. BOOK NOW!!

Operator response

Wow! Thank you so much for this amazing and detailed review! 😊 We’re so happy to hear you had such a fun and memorable experience with us. It means a lot that you appreciated the boat upgrade, our team’s efforts to make you feel comfortable, and the little extras like the coolbox. We believe in offering real value and giving our guests the freedom to explore at their own pace — so it’s fantastic to hear you enjoyed that independence and the stunning views from the sea. Big kudos to your wife for giving it a go too! 🙌 We’d love to welcome you back anytime you’re in Santorini. Until then, happy memories and safe travels! 🚤🌅

Captain for a day

If you are considering seeing parts of the island you can't get to from land then your adventure begins here. No issues if you don't have a license but it helps to know motor vehicles and GPS systems. Otherwise, the staff from Santorini Breeze were helpful, knowledgeable, and very courteous. We saw everything you would from one of the catamaran cruises and plenty more. The great thing is you can take your time at any destination you choose. Lunch, snacks, swimming and music from the boat was a treat. It is worth noting that we made it to every destination well ahead of the other cruises and picked locations that allowed us some privacy and unique locations.

Operator response

Thank you for your amazing feedback! 🌊🚤 We're so glad you enjoyed your adventure with us and got to explore the hidden gems of Santorini at your own pace. Being able to beat the crowds and find private, unique spots is definitely one of the best parts of a private boat rental! 🏝️🎶 It’s great to hear that our team made you feel comfortable and that you had everything you needed for a perfect day out. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable trip! 😊⚓
