Along with their modern facilities, elegance, and luxurious interior and exterior spaces, they make the cruising experience around the island, totally irresistible! Bring your loved ones or your friends and spend the most amazing moments of your summer vacation by the sea!
This unique Private experience offers three tour options, each one of which providing the opportunity to visit places of unparalleled beauty! Based on your preferences, you may either choose the 4-hour Day Cruise, the 6-hour Sunset Cruise, or the 10-hour Full-Day Cruise.
4-hour Day Cruise
The Private Day Catamaran Cruise departs daily at 10:00 from the small bay of Ammoudi in Oia and ends there, too. The first stop you will make is at the nearby island of Therasia, where you will have the chance to swim in the crystal-clear waters before you visit the impressive Volcano, specifically the island of Nea Kammeni. The sulfur springs there will offer you the chance for a unique bath in mineral waters. You will also have the chance to feast on a BBQ meal made with fresh local products. Next, you will head towards the charming Old Port of Fira and the lovely chapel of Holy Seven Youths where you can take spectacular photographs! Before returning to Ammoudi, you will set eyes on the quaint small port of Armeni which used to be one of the main ports of Oia.
6-hour Sunset Cruise
The Private Sunset Catamaran Cruise departs daily at 14:00 from Ammoudi. As you leave its spectacular volcanic cliffs behind and after visiting Therasia and the sulfur springs near the volcano for swimming, you will set sail for Akrotiri village where you will admire its adorable Venetian lighthouse and an interesting rock formation on the caldera called Indian Rock. The next stop is at Mesa Pigadia Beach or Red Beach, depending on the weather conditions and the wind. Here, besides the tremendous landscapes, you can take pleasure in another dive in crystal clear waters and use the snorkeling gear to discover underwater thrills. Most of all, you will indulge in a palatable meal in spectacular surroundings. After dinner, following the caldera coastline, you can take splendid photographs of the admirable old port of Fira and the Bay of Armeni. Before the end of the cruise, get ready for the highlight of the tour – the captivating sunset of Santorini below Oia village – a mesmerizing spectacle to relish on board!
10-hour Full-Day Cruise
The Full-Day Private Catamaran Cruise departs daily at 10:00 a.m. and provides a chance for you to visit all the aforementioned stops of the daytime and sunset cruises, as well as more attractions and points of interest in Santorini and neighboring islands. You will make a stop at a small beautiful location in Therasia called Riva Beach (Agia Irini), as well as a hidden cove nestled in the Caldera next to Armeni Bay. If you are up for some island-hopping around Santorini and the weather conditions allow it, you can explore the stunning island of Ios and especially the famous Manganari Beach with its golden sand and crystal waters! However, should you choose to visit Ios Island, please note that you can only include a limited number of stops to Santorini on your cruise.
You will certainly have a blast on every cruise and enjoy the views, the landscapes, the swimming, the relaxation, and the calmness that the sea offers! The Day Cruise allows for swims in the daytime when the weather is warmer, while the Sunset Cruise promises the enchanting highlight of witnessing the incredible Santorini sunset. For those desiring extended sea time or an adventure to nearby islands, the Full-Day option is the perfect choice.
All the cruises include a full BBQ meal prepared with the most genuine products. The starters include Greek salad with organic products and Cretan oil, tzatziki grilled feta cheese, and mushrooms. For the main course, you have a choice between marinated chicken skewers (breast), served with pork sausage or seabream and shrimp. The vegetarian option is spaghetti Napolitan (red sauce). The meal is accompanied by unlimited water, beer, soft drinks, and white wine. If you select the Full-Day option, you will enjoy two onboard meals, complemented by delightful snacks. Free transfers to and from the Catamaran are also included in the price of the cruise.
The most valuable experience awaits aboard this Private Catamaran Cruise! Bring your loved ones and get prepared for enchanting moments at the sea!

Unbelievable trip and memories
We did a private charter on the catamaran daiquiri. I believe it’s one of their newest. There were six of us and we were made to feel like royalty. Zoey was the best and added to making my father’s 85th birthday celebration the best it could be a huge shout out to this company. I researched dozens of others and I am so happy I found and selected this team., A great experience!, Our guide was awesome!, Well organized!, Wonderful experience!

Amazing private catamaran tour during honeymoon!
this experience was amazing and hands down one of the main highlights of our honeymoon in santorini! We did a private catamaran tour with "The Daquiri" boat and although it was a little rainy out when we went the trip was still unbelievable! shoutout to the captain and especially to the woman who served as our hostess/chef/guide (a young blonde lady, gosh i wish i could remember her name) as they were both amazing the whole trip. our hostess was very knowledgeable and provided us with stories about all of the islands and areas we visited, and was so hospitable and accommodating for us. swimming with fish around some of the islands was great and the food served on the trip was absolutely outrageous and our best overall meal in santorini (we stayed for 8 nights, too). getting to see all of the top sites/islands up close was something we will talk about forever. i absolutely recommend this experience!

Wash Your Worries Away
Courteous transport to and from the port. Boat staff was superior and provided a wonderful experience for our group of 10. We saw some truly amazing scenery, swam in the bluest water, ate delicious BBQ, and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves while watching the sunset. This was a 10/10 experience and I would highly recommend.
