Enjoy the luxury, style, and pure elegance of the Aegean sea and an amazing cruising experience on a Catamaran Boat! Live a sailing adventure that you will never forget!

Imagine yourself sailing in a catamaran on a sunny morning or a calm afternoon, with the feeling of the sun on your face and the wind in your hair! Then, come live the experience on this cruise around the famous caldera of Santorini!

Not only you will spend a day by the sea with your friends, but you will also wander around the most beautiful parts of the island! There are two cruises to choose from, the 5-hour Day Cruise and the 5-hour Sunset Cruise, each one of them including stops at many beautiful locations along the Caldera. The Day Cruise starts from the fisherman’s port of Ammoudi, while the Sunset Cruise starts from Vlychada port. For both cruises, you will be picked up/dropped off at your hotel, as a free roundtrip transfer by minibus is included.

One of the best parts of this cruise, and the most prominent site of Santorini, is the visit to the Volcano and the Hot Springs very close to it. Sail towards it and make a stop near the Volcanic Isle, and the warm waters of the Hot Springs for about 30 minutes. It’s your chance to gaze at a Volcano from a close distance and enjoy a swim in waters full of sulfur! It’s a very interesting, alternative swim, that some people compare to a therapeutic spa!

Admire the magnificent coastal scenery as you are sailing in the Caldera rim, as well as the huge Indian Rock formations, which are shaped on the cliffs, on the south part of the island. Pass by the historical Venetian lighthouse, which is located at the top, and take the most stunning photos of the scenery around!

Continue exploring the crystal clear blue waters of the famous White Beach and Mesa Pigadia Beach, take a refreshing dive, and enjoy a mouthwatering BBQ meal, prepared on board, along with the famous white wine of Santorini, Greek Ouzo, beers, and soft drinks.

The extraordinary Red Beach is also another spot that you will visit during your catamaran cruise. High red cliffs, and black and red pebbles on the shore, in contrast to the crystal-clear waters, create a setting that will absolutely amaze you! You will stay there for about 30 minutes, so you can either enjoy swimming or snorkeling (snorkeling equipment provided) or just lay on the sunbeds, and marvel at the beautiful volcanic landscape.

For those who choose to sail in the afternoon, another great spectacle awaits in the end, the breathtaking sunset of Santorini, below Oia Village! Nothing compares to watching the sun go down while sipping on some local wine! It will be a magical moment!

Spend some hours in comfort and tranquility aboard a Catamaran, enjoy the sea, and indulge in the jaw-dropping scenery around!

Nice trip but not top notch at all

Recently went on a similar trip in Milos that was far better than this one. It was fun but everything was “just ok” about the trip. Food was put on a plate for us- not unlimited and was mediocre, drinks had to be requested and felt they were set back for a reason (even soda), swim sites just ok, transportation to and from was nice but SO many dropoffs. Crew good but not friendly

Fantastic cruise in a magical island

Fantastic cruise in the best holiday destination. Exceeded expectation with beautiful crystal clean water and magical sunset. The meal on cruise was scrumptious and generous. Thanks Santorini view

Dissappointing wedding anniversary celebration

Although the scenery and food was nice there were several things dissappointing about this cruise. First of all we chose this cruise to celebrate the actual day of our 25th wedding anniversary and mentioned it in advance when I made the booking but there was abdolutely nothing done or said that acknowledged that during the cruise or made it memorable to us. Although 90% of the guests on board were 55+ the crew chose to entertain us with techno music that was not enjoyed by any of us and did not add to the atmosphere on the boat. There was not much interaction between the crew or guests except for the occotional announcement and when we arrived at the end we ended up waiting for almost an hour before being picked up. I slipped on the boat at the end of the cruise due to a wet floor and waiting so long to be transfered home while in pain was just the last straw. I am thankful that there were some very kind and compassionate guests on board that tried to comfort me after I fell. We will not make use of this cruise company again and I wish I chose another for our milestone anniversary.
