Get ready for an unforgettable sailing experience on this luxury small group catamaran cruise!

A sunset catamaran cruise is definitely one of the must-have experiences in Santorini and the perfect way to explore all the hidden gems of the island. This 6-hour tour promises to be an exciting journey across the island, allowing you to enjoy the exquisite landscapes.

Starting daily from Ammoudi Bay in Oia at 14:00, you will have the chance to see the spectacular volcanic cliffs before visiting Therasia island for a first dive in the crystal clear waters and heading to the famous Volcano of Santorini for another swim with the stunning wild view of the volcanic scenery a few meters away. After, you will set sail for Akrotiri village, where you will admire its adorable Venetian lighthouse and an interesting rock formation on the caldera, called the Indian Rock.

The next stops are at Mesa Pigadia Beach, White Beach or Red Beach, depending on the weather conditions and the wind. Here, besides the tremendous landscapes, you can relax by the water or swim your worries away in addition to taking beautiful photos and use the snorkeling gear to discover underwater thrills. Most of all, you will indulge in a palatable meal in spectacular surroundings. After dinner, following the caldera coastline, you can take splendid photographs of the admirable old port of Fira, the hidden church of Seven Holy Youths and the bay of Armeni. Before the end of the cruise, get ready for the highlight of the tour – the captivating sunset of Santorini at the best spot, under the village of Oia– a mesmerizing spectacle to relish on board.

You will certainly have a blast and enjoy greatly the views, the landscapes, the swimming, the relaxation and, of course, the appetizing BBQ fresh Fish/Seafood meal. The starters include Greek salad with organic products and Cretan oil, tzatziki and grilled feta cheese, and mushrooms. For the main dish you can choose between chicken leg fillet with marinade served with pork sausage and sea bream with shrimps. The vegetarian option is spaghetti Napolitan (red sauce). The meal is accompanied by fresh fruit and unlimited water, sparkling water, beer and white wine.

Convenient transport from and to the hotel is provided. All you need to bring is a hat, sunscreen, a light jacket and certainly your best mood.

Best experience in Santorini

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

Amazing experience!

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!
