Luxurious Catamaran Cruise in Santorini with BBQ and Drinks
Join a terrific 5-hour catamaran cruise around Santorini’s most spectacular landmarks and spots, on board a Lagoon 520 or 550 where comfort is a priority.
Their capacity is 20 people maximum and they are ideal for a premium semi-private excursion. You can choose between a morning tour and a sunset tour ̶ the morning tour starts from Ammoudi bay at 10:15 and ends at Vlychada port, whereas the sunset tour starts from Vlychada port at 15:15 and ends at Ammoudi port. Round trip transfers from and to your hotel are included in the price.
You will visit the world-famous volcano and have the chance to enjoy a unique swim in its hot springs that are known for their therapeutic benefits. You can try snorkeling while swimming in the crystal clear waters of Red Beach, probably the most popular beach of Santorini thanks to its extraordinary landscape and color. Snorkeling equipment, towels and jackets are available on board. There is also an informative map and free Wi-Fi.
Another wondrous beach of Santorini is the secluded White Beach where you can go swimming or simply enjoy the impressive scenery while the crew prepares a delectable barbeque meal on board. The Greek menu is prepared with fine local products and includes Greek salad, grilled chicken and pork skewers, roasted vegetables and stuffed vine leaves. Of course there is a vegetarian meal and a variety of drinks, including beer, soft drinks and the famous white Santorinian wine.
During the tour the catamaran sails below the miraculous caldera and past a neighboring, uninhabited island called Aspronisi, Akrotiri village and its noteworthy ancient lighthouse as well as Indian Rock, an admirable feature of the caldera cliffs, a natural sculpture that resembles an Indian’s face. Of course, no one can deny the dazzling views all around them throughout the cruise. Those who choose the sunset tour will have the opportunity to admire the astounding sunset below the picturesque village of Oia, one of the top attractions of Santorini.

Unique experience!
EXPAND
It was one of those amazing experiences you must have lived in your life! We enjoyed the trip from start to finish! The crew was so friendly and everything was planned and performed in detail, providing us with a unique view of Santorini. We chose the luxurious cruise, to limit the group and to have everything at our disposal: food, drinks, towels, ... A driver picked us up at our hotel (transfer to Ammoudi included in the price) and after checking in at the port, we were welcomed by the catamaran crew. All of them very helpful and aware of the necessary corona-measures. We really enjoyed the different stops, to Red Beach, mudbath-area and White Beach, as well as the great food on board. Swimming in the crystal clear water, while being surrounded by hundreds of fish, was great. The most wonderful part of the cruise was without a doubt the sunset in the middle of the sea, near Oia! A must do! We are very happy having booked this cruise. It gave us a wonderful experience and beautiful pictures! Would definitely recommend.

A must do in Santorini
EXPAND
This tour was fantastic, we had such a wonderful time. The staff onboard the catamaran were very accommodating and fun and cooked up a tasty dinner. Complimentary drinks on board too but nothing beats the sailing into the amazing sunset. All in all we were out from our hotel for about 7 hours on total....a little longer than expected, but well worth it!!
