What To Expect

Your tour begins with pickup from your Santorini hotel and a short transfer to the marina in time for a morning or afternoon departure. Traveling aboard a comfortable catamaran, set sail around the island.

Marvel at the dramatic scenery as you sail around the underwater caldera, passing the Akrotiri Lighthouse. Hop off to soak in the volcanic hot springs and relax in the mineral-rich waters before climbing back aboard your ship. Continue to the White Beach, where you have a chance to swim and snorkel in the warm waters of the Aegean Sea.

Back on board, re-fuel with a delicious BBQ lunch, including typical Greek specialties and Greek wine, then make a final stop at the Red Beach for more swimming and snorkeling.

After your time at sea, return to shore, where a driver will be waiting to take you back to your hotel.

It was a wonderful way to spend half the day and see the area. Crew was lovely and very professional. Swimming was great, note that the hot springs are not hot where you swim. The boat didn’t use the sails it’s more motoring on a catamaran than actual sailing. The people we met were great and it didn’t feel crowded at all. We would highly recommend doing this.

Sunset cruise

tlinnkelley, Apr 2024

Happy we did the sunset cruise on second day of this season April 1st. . Great staff. 3 stops to swim. Mineral hot springs are still a bit cool but got in the water. Red beach & white beach stops as well. Meal was potato salad, cucumber/tomato salad, pita, chicken or pork plus shrimp that they bbq on the boat. Chicken was a bit dry. Soft drinks, water, beers & white wine were help yourself through cruise. A nice outing.

I’ll never forget how we were treated!

Michael_M, Oct 2023

First let me start by saying, the crew was phenomenal! Irene and the rest of the staff were very hospitable, and accommodating. They even played the wedding song of each married couple! The food was delicious! By the time it was over, we made new friends that felt like family. It’s all about the atmosphere they provided a beautiful one.

Perfect sunset cruise

We started at 2.45pm and finished just after 8.30pm - what a wonderful day we had. Plenty to eat, drink and great entertainment from the lovely Yannis. The views were absolutely breathtaking and swimming in the ocean was wonderful.

We had a wonderful time. The BBQ was delicious and the crew were always asking if we needed anything. Lots of chances to swim(but water is cold!). The Sunset was spectacular and we got to actually sail for a little while. A very enjoyable afternoon.

Awesome Tour

If you want a sunset cruise with a small group then this tour is for you. The crew were knowledgeable, attentive and interactive. The crew prepared and cooked good of high quality. Vessel And amenities were clean and well maintained. I have already recommended this tour to my son and daughter in law when they come in August.

Highlight of our Vacation!

Karen_M, May 2023

We had the most AMAZING time on this Sailing trip. It was the highlight of our 8 days spent in Greece. The captain - Alex and the crew - Rafaela and Aneoyis were great. The stunning views of the coast line gave you a completely different perspective than the view from land. We did the afternoon/sunset tour which we would highly recommend. This was such a memorable experience. Thank you!!

Amazing staff with very...

Terri_N, Apr 2023

Had the best on the water with this group!! Saw so many highlights, amazing Bbq lunch and really loved the crew. Shared our different cultures and love of Greece. A perfect day!!

A glimpse of the Bay of Amoudi

Celine_D, Apr 2023

I enjoyed seeing my 17 y/o son go swimming in the volcanic water with sulphur in the bay of Amoudi. As a family traveling w/ 2 teenage kids, we were at awe admiring the beautiful islands & rock formations of Santorini. The lunch on the catamaran was chicken breast grilled to perfection with shrimps and Mediterranean sides that were really delicious. Christina & Panos and another guy who I forgot the name of were really all very helpful in explaining the history of the land formation of Santorini. We are glad we took this tour. We recommend this to all first timers in Santorini.

Fun trip!
