Experience both speed and comfort aboard this Private RIB boat cruise, offering an exhilarating journey of discovery amidst the magnificent scenery of Santorini!

A delightful adventure awaits you and your group during this Private Cruise, as in just a few hours, you will have the chance to meet Santorini’s most cherished parts and hidden treasures! This exclusive excursion also provides a hassle-free experience, especially convenient for visitors arriving by Cruise Ship. Departing from the same port as cruise ships dock (the Old Port of Santorini), it allows them to easily board their Private tour upon arrival and save valuable time, by avoiding the long cable-car queues.

This Private journey invites you to immerse in the beauty of Santorini either by day or sunset, based on your preferences. Choose from several options: the 3-hour Day or Sunset Tour, or the 5-hour Day or Sunset Tour, and get ready for an unforgettable experience at the sea!

During all the tour options, you will have the opportunity to scan the entirety of Santorini’s Caldera! Starting from the Old Port, the sailing adventure will take you to the south part passing by Akrotiri village and the magnificent Red Beach, with its extraordinarily high reddish cliffs and impressive scenery. A swimming opportunity there awaits before venturing into the equally beautiful White Beach and the black beach of Mesa Pigadia, with their pristine waters ready to welcome you for another dip or provide a fantastic background for amazing photos! As the journey continues, you will pass by the Indian Rock formations and the Venetian Lighthouse perched atop the Caldera cliffs, before visiting the renowned Santorini Volcano and indulging in an alternative spa experience in the sulfur-rich waters of the famous Hot Springs. Next, you will also get to discover the traditional allure of Therasia Island, while, passing by the small Ammoudi Port, below Oia village, will allow you to appreciate its simple charm, and admire the iconic white-washed houses perched on the cliffs, from another perspective. As the tour reaches an end, you will sail to Armeni Beach and then below the village of Imerovigli village, where hidden coves await your exploration, before returning to the original departure point. Opting for the Sunset cruises will offer you the chance to witness the magical colors of the mesmerizing sunset below the village of Oia!

*It's important to point out that the itinerary is indicative and can be tailored to your preferences in terms of the order of the locations and the time spent at each one. Additionally, keep in mind that the allocated time at each location will affect the time needed for visiting the other parts.*

No matter which option you choose, the relaxing time spent at sea is guaranteed, while the beautiful images of Santorini’s impressive landscape will stay in your mind for years to come! For a short getaway either in the morning or in the afternoon, the 3-hour cruise is just ideal, allowing you to explore swiftly and comfortably under the warm sun or with the gentle afternoon breeze. On the contrary, the 5-hour cruise offers deeper exploration, while providing an additional perk, the opportunity to stop at Therasia Island, Armeni Beach, or Akrotiri for a meal at the restaurant of your choice (the meal is not included in the cruise price).

Throughout all the cruise options, refreshing beers and cooling beverages will accompany you, for a rejuvenating addition to your exploration, while your English-speaking skipper will share useful information about the locations you will visit. Towels will also be provided to you, while the available snorkeling equipment will offer you the chance for a deeper exploration of the underwater beauty!

Nothing compares the joy of a Private Cruise with the company of your loved ones! Select the cruise that suits you best, and prepare yourselves for a worry-free day against the most amazing backdrop!

Amazing Day

Andres the captain picked us up directly at the port. The sea was choppy but he was an excellent captain who was able to make the ride smooth for us. He gave us a beautiful tour around the islands and took us to a few snorkeling locations. (bring your own gear). We stopped by Captain John's for dinner which was amazing. I would highly recommend this tour.

Amazing Trip

Our guide (Bam Bam) was awesome! We had such a great time. Our cruise was a mess, and we got off the boat two hours late, but our guide was so understanding and accommodating. He picked us up as soon as we got off, and we managed to still squeeze it all in. Of all of our excursions on our 10-day trip, this was by far the best. We loved it! I would highly recommend this to anyone going to Santorini.

Santorini Sailing Center

Dear Dawnery, We are so glad that you enjoyed your cruise with Bam Bam! Thank you so much for your kind words. Kind regards, Vasileios Psilis
