Great views of the island!
This tour was great and we got to see Santorini from a different aspect than from on land. The crew was awesome and catered to all of our needs.

Itinerary
Thirassia
Not even a mile away the romantic settlement of Oia, lies the island 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.
Palea Kameni
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.
Nea Kameni
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.
Lighthouse
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.
Mesa Pigadia Beach
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.
White Beach
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.
Red Beach
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!
Santorini Old Harbor
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.
Armeni Bay
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.

The Perfect Santorini Catamaran Experience
This was a great trip from beginning to end. The crew (Captain Adonis, Mario and Kiki) were amazing. The 3 swimming stops were great and I am usually not an ocean swimmer. The food (we ordered the grilled sea bream) was expertly prepared by Captain Adonis. The appetizers (prepared by Kiki) were a highlight - super delicious! Mario gave us some interesting facts about the places that we were passing by. And the ultimate treat for my husband was that they shut off the engine and raised the sails when returning back to port. Thank you so much to all 3 of you in making this trip so memorable! I would highly recommend this company and crew and would repeat the trip if we are ever back in Santorini.

A perfect day!
What a perfect day. The boat was spectacular, all of the stops were wonderful and well organized. Our host, Sara was so charming and we fell in love with her. We made some new friends. Ate some magnificent food that was prepared for us by the crew, swam, drank, listen to music and had just a perfect day.

Sunset Cruise in Santorini
This is one of the best tours we've taken. Everything was just perfect. They picked us in our hotel (a plus in Oia). Got the 2:00 pm schedule for Sunset View (6 hours). The tour is very well organized to the details, food was great and the itinerary amazing. We were just 8 persons on the boat (4 couples), so we received an outstanding service from the crew. We had enough time to enjoy the sights, the beaches and the views. We highly recommend this tour.

Unforgettable
Our sunset cruise was without a doubt one of the absolute highlights of our trip to Greece. Everything was perfectly organized, and the timing of the sunset couldn’t have been better. Watching the sun set over Santorini from the water was an unforgettable experience. The crew were outstanding—friendly, professional, and always willing to help. We especially enjoyed the interesting information they shared about the history and geography of the Santorini islands. The food was fresh and delicious, adding to an already amazing experience. I would highly recommend this cruise to anyone visiting Santorini. It was truly worthwhile and created memories we’ll never forget. Gerber family RSA
