Excellent Experience

We were able to book with Santorini View last min. when another company canceled on us, due to sick crew members. We had an incredible time, the crew were all friendly and made us feel welcome. The food was delicious, providing a wide range of drinks. This was definitely the highlight of our trip to Santorini and we would strongly recommend the trip to the volcano with Santorini View Catamaran Cruise!

Absolutely! Greece is one of the safest countries to swim in. You will be glad to know that sharks in the Aegean Sea (usually from species such as dogfish) are harmless, sightings are extremely rare while attacks are unheard of! In addition, the waves are usually small, especially inside the Caldera where most boat cruises make stops for swimming. So, based on the above, if you enjoy swimming, snorkeling, or even diving... you are in the right place!

All Catamaran vessels are fitted with toilets, for the use of guests onboard.
