Amazing Day!!

If you want to enjoy Santorini away from the crowds or the thought of getting up the hill is too much, then chartering a catamaran with Santorini. Use is the way to go! They made our day wonderful, all 11 of us had a fabulous time and were well cared for. The views were incredible and the food was great and the crew was so friendly and excited to share the island with us. Several of my group had some mobility concerns that would have made yea ersing the hill or standing in line nearly impossible. This was a great alternative to have a beautiful visit and still see Santorini.

Private Day Charter

From beginning to end , this was a wonderful experience. We were picked up in an air conditioned van and transported to the catamaran. The staff was delightful. The captain and crew made sure we had everything we needed to be comfortable and enjoy our day. They were very knowledgeable about the sites we toured and the meal was delicious. I would highly recommend Volcano Yachting. , A great experience!
