Explore the stunning beauty of Santorini aboard our motor yacht as you cruise along the caldera and volcanic islands. With its state-of-the-art technology, this innovative motorboat promises an unforgettable cruise experience!

The SeaRay Sundancer 265, is a sleek and graceful vessel that gracefully dances across the waters of Santorini. Choose from a 5-hour Morning Cruise or a 5-hour Sunset Cruise and indulge in an unforgettable journey that will leave you with lifelong memories.

Our Mercedes Vito or Mercedes CLA180 coupe will pick you up from your hotel or any convenient location of your choice before we set sail from Vlychada marine. Prepare to visit the most famous beaches in Santorini including the stunning Volcanic Red Beach, the White Beach, and the Mesa Pigadia Beach.

Experience the freedom to enjoy Santorini's beaches at your own pace! You can decide whether to take a refreshing swim or simply relax and soak up the stunning surroundings. With up to an hour at each stop, you'll have plenty of time to fully immerse yourself in the beauty of Santorini's beaches. Onboard, you'll indulge in a refreshing welcome drink and a variety of fresh fruit as you soak up the stunning scenery. Enjoy unlimited soft drinks, water, local wine, and ouzo to complete your remarkable sailing adventure!

As we continue our journey, we'll cruise past the Indian rock and the island's lighthouse, taking in the stunning views along the way. Our next stop is at the famous Hot Springs, where you can swim for around 30 minutes. We'll then make a round of the impressive Volcano of Santorini, where you'll have the chance to admire its unique volcanic features, before cruising to Therasia Island.

While in Therasia, you can discover the charming Manolas village, swim, and if you're feeling peckish, treat yourself to a meal at a traditional Greek tavern. (Please note that this is not included in the price.)

On the way back, we cruise around the caldera's cliffs, giving you the chance to take some amazing pictures of the gorgeous villages of Oia and Epta Pedes (which is only accessible by boat), as well as the charming port of Ammoudi and the caldera villages of Imerovigli, Firostefani, and Fira. If you have opted for the Sunset option, our journey will take us toward the enchanting sunset on the open sea near Akrotiri where you'll experience the magic of Santorini's sunset onboard our yacht. After a day of adventure, we'll return to Vlychada Marine, where our team will make sure you arrive back at your accommodation safely. You'll leave the tour with a beautiful sun-kissed glow and memories to last a lifetime!

Let us take you on a journey to discover the unique beauty of this island, in a way that only we can show you!
