With a RIB boat cruise around the most spectacular parts of Santorini Island, time efficiency and comfort are combined to give you an unforgettable experience. Embark on a cruise that will fascinate you and your loved ones!

The best way to see all the famous places of Santorini is by taking a private cruise, feeling the freedom of the sea, and having fun with your family or friends.

You'll start your tour from the historical Old Port, where you can expect a thrilling experience that will give you the adrenaline that you're looking for during the summer months. Choose between a 5-hour (Morning/Sunset) cruise or a 3-hour (Morning, Mid-Day or Afternoon) cruise.

5-hour Cruise

During the 5-hour cruise, the first stop will be the beautiful Red Beach. Spectacular natural beauty surrounds it, with high red cliffs all around it and a wide shore whose colours are red and black. Relax onboard the boat while taking nice photos of the beautiful landscape or enjoy a nice refreshing swim and snorkelling adventure, with the equipment provided on the boat. Next, you'll witness the stunning White Beach, a tiny cove with white colour as its dominating hue and pristine seas that invite you to dive into them!

During this cruise, you'll also encounter more breathtaking sights, including Mesa Pigadia Beach, the striking Indian Rock formations, and the historic Venetian Lighthouse perched atop the Caldera cliffs. These landmarks offer an up-close view of the island's stunning volcanic beauty. Additionally, you'll have the chance to witness the renowned Volcano of Santorini. To top it off, you'll indulge in a mud bath at the famous hot springs, where the water is rich in sulfur. Snacks and free drinks, including local wine, beer, and soft drinks, will be served to enhance your experience. It's guaranteed to be an unforgettable adventure!

Take the 5-hour cruise if you want to spend more time touring the island, and get to see all the beautiful parts at your own pace. Additionally, a complimentary meal will be provided at a traditional tavern on the island of Therasia.

3-hour Cruise

If you opt for the 3-hour sea adventure, there are fantastic locations that await to be discovered. Your journey will allow you to explore the beautiful Caldera of Santorini, and the renowned Santorini Volcano with its accompanying Hot Springs, where you'll have the opportunity to pause and enjoy a therapeutic dive. Next, the cruise will continue to hidden coves and small caves along the caldera rim, and below Imerovigli village to reach Therasia island for a stop to enjoy swimming in the clear blue waters near it. Although you won't make a docking stop on Therasia island, a swim in its serene waters will refresh you. As the cruise continues, you will also have the opportunity to reach the south side of the island and enjoy the amazing Caldera views near Akrotiri village. The best photos of your summer holidays await to be captured!

*This excursion is perfect for those visiting our island by Cruise Ship as it departs from the Old Port(where all cruise ships dock). Forget the hassle of waiting in long queues for the Cable Car and jump straight into your booked tour!

The afternoon options give you the chance to see the breathtaking sunset below Oia Village from the boat, as well as the sun's magical colours as it plunges into the water, before the tour's return to the Old Port.

There's nothing like a Private Cruise for entertainment, discovery, and relaxation! Take your loved ones along with you and sit back, daydream, and enjoy the ride!
