We had the best crew on the Carpe Diem catamaran with captain kostas, chris and fotini. Their service was commendable, they made us feel very welcome and comfortable! They kept our glasses full with local win and kept us entertained. We stopped for two swim spots which was perfect and watched the sunset with the most amazing food! They served an abundance of food, you weren’t left hungry! Highly recommend this experience to anyone, I have been to Santorini before however never done the cruise. I regret not doing one the first time I was here! Thank you Carpe Diem. Arigatou - the australian that thought she was speaking greek

We had an incredible time and cannot thank the crew more for giving us the best experience in Santorini. We loved everything from the sites we saw to the dinner and company of both other guests on board and the crew. Could not speak highly enough and would recommend to anyone visiting Santorini. It was extremely convenient to leave from and return to Oia and be transported back to our accommodations. Thank you again to the crew!

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!
