A private cruise constitutes a great opportunity to sail and explore Santorini without hassle and responsibility, but with all the fun.

You will be sailing the islands aboard a 49 foot sailing yacht, accommodating up to 12 guests in a spacious sitting area under a large tent or on the deck with cushions for sunbathing. Toilets and cabins are available inside the yacht. Whether relaxing or sunbathing on deck after a peaceful swim in a remote bay, your comfort and enjoyment are assured.

Beginner and novice sailors will also benefit from the opportunity to learn about sailing first-hand through instruction from the skipper and the on board sailing crew. The skipper, in addition to being responsible for the safe and enjoyable sailing of the yacht, is also acting as a personal guide and caretaker for the guests.

You can follow our usual program or create your own exploration route according to the wind direction, after discussion with the captain.

Leave some room for a sumptuous lunch or dinner! This is a casual sit-down affair; it’s never formal and there is never assigned seating. Meal is served on an open air table on the aft deck.

Complimentary locally brewed beer, wine and soft drinks are available all day. You’re free to bring your own spirits on board to mix up your own favorite tropical drink. Sailing is invigorating and exhilarating - whether you’re helping the crew hoist the sails or just shouting encouragement between sips of a cool drink. Take the helm – for a photo op or the real deal! Our crew is eager to teach you all about the ship, the islands and their people.

What to bring: a carry-on bag with a bathing suit and everything that you will need in the early afternoon (sunscreen, hat, medicines and cameras) along with something warm to wear after sunset, as it might be a little bit chilly. If you think you might be affected by motion sickness, bring a wrist band or an ear patch to ease the symptoms.

Could not fault our trip. We had a brilliant time out on the water, and were given a great tour of the island. An amazing cooking lunch as well. Would recommend to anyone who wants to see Santorini, whilst being looked after so well you can only relax.

Best cruise in Santorini!

We had an amazing time. Overall 11/10 experience and thanks for making at so special. We had booked the 5-hr sunset cruise. Lena (Management) & Yanis (captain) are amazing folks, very polite and helpful. Lena addressed all y queries from Day 1, I had a lot of questions as I was preparing for proposing my partner. They even assisted with good quality photos on the cruise at no additional cost. They even arranged for a beautiful bouquet and champagne on my request. Yanis found an amazing spot in the sea with the sun rays upon us where I proposed my partner on the bow of the boat just before sunset. It was the most beautiful surprise for her and the most precious moment for us! Thank you very much Lena & Yanis :D The pick up car from the hotel was clean, high quality with excellent AC and great driver. The cruise was clean and bigggg (50 ft). We were regularly served wine, we had a swimming stop and the captain prepared wonderful meal for us in the sea. The food was really good, thanks to Lena for making the amazing vegetarian dishes for us 😄 Overall, highly recommended cruise. It is the best price, service and hospitality experience amongst all other offerings out there., A great experience!, Excellent!, Well organized!, Wonderful experience!, A must do!, Our guide was awesome!

A must do in Santorini

Wonderful experience! Our guide was awesome and well organized. There were seven of us, and choosing a private boat was truly cost-effective. We had a private boat all to ourselves, so we didn't have to squeeze in with others or fight for spots to take photos. The food was hot and very delicious. The staff are always helping.

Thank you very much!
