Set off on a journey to discover the hidden beauties of Santorini island and visit places that you have never witnessed before. Choose this Private Catamaran Cruise and live an experience that will surely amaze you!
This Catamaran boat is a nice choice for an affordable yet overwhelming cruising experience at the Aegean Sea! You will get nice images of all the wonderful parts of Santorini, relax on board with your loved ones and spend the most interesting day of your summer holidays!
The cruise provides a choice among a 5-hour Day tour, a 5-hour Sunset tour, and an 8-hour Full-Day tour. After free pick-up from your hotel, you will reach Vlychada port, where your private Catamaran will be waiting to introduce you to the most unique places of Santorini. Your first stop will be the famous Red beach, with the high reddish cliffs surrounding it, where you will have some time to take a swim and freshen up, before continuing your cruise visiting the beautiful White beach. Admire the wild scenery around and relax on deck while enjoying the sun and a glass of a fine Santorini wine!
As you will continue sailing, you will pass by the small Mesa Pigadia Beach, as well as the enormous Indian Rock formations on the south of the island, and you will have the chance to see the Venetian Lighthouse of Santorini, which is a historical building of unparalleled beauty, standing on the top of the Caldera cliffs. The next stop will be the unique Volcano of Santorini and the extraordinary Hot Springs around it. There, you will have some time for a second swim and the amazing experience of swimming in the beneficial waters, full of sulfur. It is an alternative spa, which is totally worth trying!
During the Sunset option, you will have the opportunity to witness the breathtaking view of the famous Santorini Sunset on board, which is undoubtedly a magical spectacle that you will remember forever! If your plans are to spend more time at the sea, then the 8-hour Full-Day tour will be the ideal choice for you, as you will have the chance to stay longer at the places that you will like most.

FAVORITE EXPERIENCE - BOOK ASAP!!
After reading all the previous reviews, I booked immediately! Ella and Thomas were the most welcoming couple and made our entire experience super seamless and incredibly fun! Their catamaran was very clean and there are plenty of places to sit both in the front, back, and inside the cabin. You can play your own music via bluetooth, Ella always makes sure you have a fresh ice cold drink in your hand, and her cooking is OFF THE CHARTS AMAZING!!! Thomas was very patient with us and catered our cruise to our preferences, letting us anchor for longer in places where we wanted to swim, and his knowledge about the island and its history made for such an interesting trip -- the 8 hour full day cruise went by so quick! If you're debating between doing a group / semi-private cruise versus this private one, trust me this experience was 10000% worth it! Both of my parents and brother agreed this cruise was the highlight of our Greece vacation, and the memories and pictures we have will last a lifetime! And yes, everyone in the reviews is not lying about Ella's photography skills, she's a professional!! Trust me and book TODAY!

The Highlight of our Vacation - A Must Do!!
I typically only write reviews if a service is extraordinary or significantly below my expectations. Hands down, the private sunset cruise with Santo Cruises, captained by Thomas and his lovely wife Ella, was the highlight of our Santorini vacation. The boat is clean and very well maintained. Thomas is an extremely knowledgeable sailor with a personable style. Ella’s hospitality, magnificent cooking (a meal you can’t miss) and bubbly personality were perfect. She took the time to do a full photo shoot of my wife and I during the cruise so we have lovely memories to share with friends / family. Snorkeling with local fish and the personalized touch they both gave us - was 5 star. Don’t look any further, just book it and have fun. It’s a no brainer. BTW, their English is perfect so no safety concerns or other questions were left unanswered.

Absolutely! Greece is one of the safest countries to swim in. You will be glad to know that sharks in the Aegean Sea (usually from species such as dogfish) are harmless, sightings are extremely rare while attacks are unheard of! In addition, the waves are usually small, especially inside the Caldera where most boat cruises make stops for swimming. So, based on the above, if you enjoy swimming, snorkeling, or even diving... you are in the right place!
