10/10 would recommend
Absolutely loved our host Mika and our captain Natalia.
They took such care of us and the music was fire.
Despite being in October we still had a few brave souls jumping in the 3 swimming spots planned on the tour.
The BBQ had many traditional Greek dishes and was also great.
Operator response
Mika and Natalia will be delighted to hear your lovely feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed their hospitality, the music, and the opportunity to swim at the different stops, even in October. It’s also great to know that the selection of traditional Greek dishes made your experience even better. Thank you for sharing your memories with us! 🎶

A definite “gotta do”
I reserved this well in advance of our trip to Santorini because it sounded like something I didn’t want to miss. And I was right. The group of 18 was larger than I expected but it was all wonderful. We all chatted it up, drink and food was lovely. I had all of the names of the crew in the first review but days later I have forgotten.
Operator response
It’s lovely to hear that the cruise lived up to the expectations you had from the moment you booked it! We’re glad that even with a larger group, the atmosphere remained enjoyable and everyone had a great time together. Good food, drinks, and great company certainly make for a memorable day on the water. We truly appreciate you choosing us for such an anticipated part of your Santorini trip! ⛵🍷
