Sail across the Exquisite Santorini Island on a Luxurious Catamaran with Your Loved Ones

Excited to explore the island of Santorini and admire the beauty of Caldera on a private yacht?

It doesn’t get better than the luxurious catamaran cruise that serves a delicious meal and drinks on board!

You’ll be welcomed with a refreshing drink and the relaxing ambiance of the cruise will instantly make you feel comfortable. For this tour, you’ll receive transportation from and to your hotel as well as full snorkeling gear, towels, and maps with crucial information regarding the island. You’ll be served a tasty meal onboard, featuring seafood, chicken fillet, salads, and dessert. You can also request a vegetarian meal if you like. Apart from this, you can enjoy drinking local white wine, beer, and your favorite beverages in the open bar.

You can choose a day trip, sunset trip, or full-day trip, depending on your unique interests and preferences.

Day Trip

The day trip begins at 10.30 and lasts for five hours. You get a chance to explore Santorini Island and relax on the cruise as it sails across the clear blue waters. You’ll stop at the Red Beach first for a refreshing swim. You can snorkel too if you like. The cruise will then head to the iconic White Beach, where you can take some spectacular photos. The next stop is the Hot Springs, where you can enjoy a therapeutic experience in the healing waters. On your way, you’ll admire the beauty of the Black Mountain and the Caldera lighthouse. The last stop will be the Mesa Pigadia Beach for a relaxing swim and a delicious meal served on board. Finally, you’ll return to the port.

Sunset Trip

The sunset trip begins at 15.30 and allows you to witness the breathtaking sunset of Santorini. This trip follows the same route as the day trip. After having the time of your life at Red Beach, White Beach, Hot Springs, and Mesa Pigadia Beach, you’ll stop to enjoy a fulfilling dinner on board with local wine and fresh fruits. After the meal, you’ll have your breath taken away by the sight of the sun going down between the ethereal mountains of Santorini.

Full-Day Trip

The 10-hour full-day trip is perfect for friends and families who want to celebrate a special occasion on a private catamaran. You’ll spend the entire day sailing across the crystal blue waters amid the stunning landscape of Santorini Island. You can sit back and relax by the bar with a glass of your favorite drink in hand or celebrate the occasion with your loved ones by dancing and partying on the cruise. No matter what you decide to do, it’ll be a one-of-a-kind sailing experience for you!

A great experience!, Our guides were awesome! Made the best dinner for us! Views were amazing as well. Only thing i would suggest is - we were told there would be wine, beer and spirits. there was only white wine and beer. at least offer red wine

A must do for your Santorini holiday!

A great experience! I’ve been to Santorini countless times, and while a private cruise may be a bit expensive I can guarantee you it will be the most memorable day of your life. I’ve done private cruises on Santorini multiple times. This was absolutely one of the best. Doing a private cruise gives you the opportunity to see a Santorini from a totally different perspective at your leisure. You’ll swim eat and take in the magnificent views. Make sure to do a full day not just a half day. You will absolutely create unforgettable memories. Great food. Wonderful hosts. A must do!

Awesome experience with kids

We chartered catamaran as family with kids ranging from 6 to 15, all enjoyed and a highlight of our trip. Great views, friendly crew, delicious home-made lunch on the boat, an absolute treat.
