Experience moments of ultimate freedom on this Private Catamaran Cruise around the magnificent island of Santorini! Book yours and relish this magical adventure with your loved ones!
This luxurious Catamaran Lagoon 450 is the ideal vessel for the ultimate private cruise around Santorini and nearby islands, as it features modern equipment, lavish indoors and outdoors, and relaxing spacious areas. During this cruise, passengers can explore the coastal gems of the island of Santorini, in great comfort and live a unique experience, the most magnificent one, someone can have in Santorini! There are 3 different private options to choose from: a daytime, a sunset, and a full-day cruise. They all start from the marina of Vlychada and end back there, and they include free pick-up and drop-off service, snorkeling equipment, and, of course, a delicious BBQ meal on board, accompanied by unlimited drinks. Keep in mind that as the cruises are private, you can add or remove stops according to your preferences, based on the weather and time limitations. Don’t forget to bring your sun lotion, a hat, a light jacket, and a camera.
The Day Private Catamaran Cruise departs daily at 10:00 whereas the Sunset Private Catamaran Cruise departs daily at 15:00 and they both last for about 5 hours. They follow the same suggested itinerary, setting sail first for the wondrous Akrotiri village where you can set eyes on the breathtaking Red Beach and White Beach, two perfect examples of what makes Santorini a unique volcanic island. You will take photographs of amazing sceneries, red and white volcanic cliffs, as their names indicate, and spectacular waters. The first stop for swimming is at Mesa Pigadia Beach, a picturesque small cove where the volcanic rocks compose an impressive landscape once again. It is highly recommended to use the snorkeling gear to explore the amazing seabed. Then, before reaching the sulfur springs of the Volcano, you will have the chance to admire the Indian Rock, an interesting rock formation on the caldera that resembles an Indian’s face, and the adorable Venetian Lighthouse of Akrotiri. At the sulfur springs, indulge in a refreshing swim before you head for the next stop (Choose dark-colored bathing suits for this occasion.) Then, you will get more beautiful images of the enormous Caldera cliffs, as you are sailing back to Vlychada port, for the end of the cruise.
The delicious meal served on board includes a Greek salad with organic products and Cretan oil, tzatziki, grilled feta cheese, and mushrooms for appetizers. The main course is either chicken leg fillet with marinade, served with pork sausage, or seabream with shrimps. The vegetarian option is spaghetti Napolitan (red sauce). There is also fresh fruit and unlimited water, sparkling water, beer, and white wine. The sunset cruise provides one last stop, the most anticipated one, in order to relish the jaw-dropping spectacle of the sunset in Santorini!
The Full-Day Private Catamaran Cruise, on the other hand, starts daily at 10:00 and lasts up to 10 hours. What is special about this option is that you have the opportunity to visit more islands and points of interest, such as the Old Port of Fira, the charming Armeni Bay, Seven Holy Youths Church, and Tripiti Spot, a remarkable cave in Therasia. You can choose to sail around the caldera and the island of Santorini or visit the nearby island of Ios or Koufonisia.
Whichever cruise you select, you are sure to have the time of your life and gain an unforgettable experience!

Beautiful Boat - Amazing Experience
Chris and Dimitri took excellent care of our group on the sunset cruise. We boarded Kalista as a private booking. The boat is immaculate with plenty of places to soak up the sun. There was no pressure and no stress. Plenty of stops for a swim. As we left the marina about 230pm, we were booked for dinner on the boat which was plentiful and really tasty. We had chicken skewers from the BBQ on board, Greek salad, warm pita, bread and tzatziki along with aubergine dips. Grilled cheese and free flowing wines and spirits made it all the more enjoyable. Nothing was too much trouble and we had a lovely 5 hours journey. We were 4 adults and 2 children. I would recommend this trip to anyone. , Wonderful experience!
