The beautiful island of Santorini awaits for you to explore it, and marvel at its unique landscape! So, what’s a better choice than a Private yacht cruise with your loved ones, which will provide the carefree moments that you are looking for during your vacation, along with amazing views of Santorini’s volcanic scenery?

This unique experience offers three different tour options to choose from, the 5-hour Day Cruise, the 5-hour Sunset Cruise, and the 10-hour Full-Day Cruise, all of which start from the port of Vlychada, on the south part of the island. The Day and Full-Day Cruises start at 10:30 while the Sunset Cruise starts at 15:30.

After you reach Vlychada port with a free transfer from your hotel, your cruising experience will start by visiting the famous Red beach of Santorini. The high reddish cliffs, as well as the wild scenery around, will definitely allure you! The next destination will be the breathtaking White beach, another location of exceptional beauty with the same wild volcanic scenery surrounding it. Get your cameras ready for the best photos of your trip to Santorini, and get yourselves ready for the most amazing memories!

As you continue sailing, you will get to Black Mountain, where you will have the chance to enjoy a rejuvenating swim or snorkeling in the clear blue waters there. Then, look up and admire the famous Akrotiri Venetian Lighthouse, which stands still at the top of the caldera cliffs. More beautiful photos will be added to your summer holidays photo collection!

Your next destination will be the impressive Volcano of Santorini with the therapeutic Hot Springs near it. Try an amazing mud bath there and feel the geothermal energy coming from beneath. It’s an experience that will surely fascinate you! Lastly, you will visit the nearby island of Therasia, where you will have the chance to take another dive in crystal-clear waters, before trying the delicious Greek cuisine, along with the famous Santorini white wine, at a traditional tavern there. During the cruise, a welcome drink and premium snacks are offered to all the guests, along with white local wine, beers & soft beverages.

If you choose the Sunset Cruise, magic awaits you, as the cruise finishes with the view of the mesmerizing sunset of Santorini on board between the high caldera mountains. After the end of the cruise, you will be transferred back to your hotel.

Bring your friends or family on board this luxury cruise and live the most relaxing day of your lives!

Just OK

The positive was the boat was clean and Captain friendly . Views are unforgettable!! Negative: Deck hand Rude(lady) Route for day not confirmed till on boat. Would not drop us off early as instructed. We had people getting sea sick while the boat crew waited for the next guests instead of dropping the current private charter guests. Not acceptable. If this is the service level, just take the large group boats and save $$$ Second time using and will rethink if there will be next time

Great day!

Harry and Athena were exceptional! They were both pleasant and accommodating. It was a wonderful 5 hours enjoying the island from the water and getting to experience many sights that you could not see by land! Highly recommend this experience!

I Can’t say enough about the caldera cruise we took around Santorini, the crew was Absolutely amazing!!!!. They were patient with my kids and were very attentive with us. It Was the best part of our Greece vacation. Took us to all beaches around Santorini. Provided floaties so my kids can swim with us in the water. We loved it. Thank you so much for our memories. Highly recommend.
