Delight in the freedom to craft your maritime narrative, as the expert crew ensures every moment is tailored to exceed your expectations!
Experience the allure of Santorini with diverse tour options, each promising a unique and unforgettable adventure. Choose the 5-hour Day Cruise, starting at 9:45, for a sun-soaked exploration of the island's beauty, the 5-hour Sunset Cruise, beginning at 14:45, for a romantic evening against the backdrop of the iconic Caldera sunset, or indulge in the 10-hour Full-Day Cruise, originating at 9:30, for an extended journey encompassing the best of both worlds!
5-hour Cruise
During the Day cruise, starting from the small fishing port of Ammoudi, you will sail below the Caldera with the highly impressive rocks, until you reach the unique Volcano of Santorini. Get ready to be surprised by how imposing the atmosphere there, is, and enjoy your first stop at the famous Hot Springs around it, an alternative thermal spa, with waters full of sulfur. As you continue sailing, you will pass the small Aspronisi Island and reach the huge Indian Rock formations and the Venetian Lighthouse, which are located in the south part of the island, in Akrotiri. Next, get ready for a refreshing dive off-board at the clear waters of the White Beach, with the wild cliffs surrounding it, before your last stop at the popular Red Beach. There, you will have some time to swim and even snorkel if you are a curious diver, or just relax and take nice photos of the amazing scenery around. The tour ends in Vlychada Marina. The Sunset cruise follows the opposite route, starting from Vlychada Marina and finishing at Ammoudi Port. However, it encompasses an additional enchanting spectacle, the spellbinding evening glow below the village of Oia!
10-hour Full-Day Cruise
The Full-Day cruise, commencing and concluding at Ammoudi Port, follows an identical itinerary as the previously mentioned 5-hour excursions, incorporating further prospects for swimming and snorkeling. As a supplementary location, you'll have the chance to visit Therasia Island, a quaint and picturesque islet situated directly opposite Santorini Island. This extended nautical escapade allows ample time to explore the bewitching attractions along the way, revel in the beauty of each point, and relish an unhurried exploration of the scenic panoramas!
Both cruises invite you to the most relaxing getaway of your holidays! The Day cruise offers you the chance to immerse yourself in daytime exploration and enjoy the sunny climate of the island, while the Sunset cruise features a romantically scheduled voyage capturing the majestic sundown as the sun sinks into the deep blue sea. Finally, the Full-Day cruise offers a more immersive adventure, perfect for travelers desiring an extended and enriched maritime experience, with several extra opportunities for aquatic activities!
During each cruise, you will have the chance to pamper yourself on a gastronomic outing with a delectable BBQ meal, featuring a refreshing Greek salad, shrimp saganaki, grilled chicken fillet, and mouthwatering pork chops, while with the choice of the Full-Day option, an additional gratifying meal is included.
