Loved the whole experience, from the boat, to the food, to the crew, and the destinations. It was such a chill fun vibe for a sunny beautiful afternoon. We did the day cruise and had perfect weather. Our crew were great and we had a fun bunch on board. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone that wants to explore and see the scenery while relaxing on a sailboat for the afternoon.

Stunningly beautiful

Constance_B, Sep 2024

Barbecue swimming in the ocean actually everything was amazing The food was amazing and so many steps

Disappointing

Cassie_D, Sep 2024

I was disappointed as I had deliberately booked this catamaran as I wanted to see the red and white beach, pass by the lighthouse and swim in active hot springs. We however did not find out until we were transferred out to the catamaran from a smaller boat that due to weather they were changing the route. We weren’t given and option to go back or cancel to another day.

Beautiful day in Santorini

Jack_V, Sep 2024

The crew was extremely friendly, had a good sense of humor, and made you feel very welcome! The food was delicious! It was a very relaxing experience. Highly recommend!!

I would recommend this tour

Brian_B, Sep 2024

Nice catamaran boat, staff was friendly and accommodating. The lunch was great. You are not able to go on the beaches, but could swim and snorkel near them. It was a beautiful way to see the caldera.

Rude staff on the boat

Enrica_V, Sep 2024

Great for the locations we were able to see and visit, as Santorini is beautiful! However, the crew were rude sometimes and called people terrible Americans. Wish we could have been apart of a more friendly atmosphere. Was uncomfortable on the boat.

Great day!

Caroline_N, Jul 2024

Perfect day. Lunch was fantastic - chicken with Greek salad and sides. Nice Greek beer. Crew was great too.

A great trip!

Pamela_A, Jun 2024

Staff was extremely friendly fly on the boat and we were very well fed!! It’s a smaller boat at the front so not a lot of room to way out and be on your own space, when we got to the point to board the boat we were left waiting for a while because different boats were loading and off loading, it was just a bit random and isn’t mentioned when booking! Other than that it’s a great way to swim in the amazing waters and see the coastline would definitely recommend

Great crew, great relaxing day

Julia_L, Jun 2024

Great day with Sunset Oia!

Expectation exceeded

Rita_B, May 2024

Beautiful day. Exceeded expectations. Everything was as promised with a few expectations. There was no snorkeling equipment and you were not to swim to the beach. Swimming only near boat far from shore. Excellent food. Comfortable seating. Clean easy access restrooms. Friendly crew.

Luxury At its Best…breathe taking

Samantha_V, Apr 2024

The views are insane and so amazing! The customer service was spectacular. The catamaran was in excellent condition inside and out. The crew is very prideful on how they take care of catamaran and their guest. Thank you for a wonderful experience from NYC!

5 star experience

Sheay_J, Feb 2024

Absolutely amazing experience! Great staff, great food and beautiful boat! Most beautiful catamaran I ever been on wish I took better pics. The food was so delicious and they weren’t stingy with it. I ate every drop

do not waste your money

Shanay_B, Oct 2023

They stop at places to allow you off into the ocean but you cannot go on shore to touch the sand. Also, they do not provide life jackets only if its an emergency.
