Private Catamaran Cruise in Santorini with BBQ and Drinks
A tailor-made excursion around the island on a private catamaran it’s the ultimate experience. Treat your loved ones a luxurious tour and allow yourselves to feel like royalty.
The modern Lagoon 400 and Lagoon 380 are luxurious catamarans with a great level of comfort and elegant, spacious indoor and outdoor areas, ideal for a private excursion along with your beloved ones. You can choose the morning or the sunset 5-hour tour and jump at the chance to explore Santorini in the best possible way. Round transfers from and to your hotel as well as snorkeling equipment, towels, jackets, a map and free Wi-Fi are included in the price. The rate is up to four people but the total capacity is 14 passengers.
You will visit the most iconic beaches of the island, Red Beach and White Beach, where you can swim and go snorkeling in crystal-clear waters and lay eyes on incredible landscapes. Additionally, you will enjoy a mud bath in the volcano’s hot springs which constitutes a unique experience. Along the way you will become mesmerized by the fascinating view all around you as well as by some of Santorini’s attractions you will pass by, such as the admirable ancient lighthouse of Akrotiri village and an impressive rock formation on the caldera cliffs called Indian Rock.
What makes the excursion unique is the luscious barbeque meal on board. The Greek menu offers Greek salad, shrimp saganaki, grilled chicken or pork skewers, roasted vegetables, pasta with red sauce, and stuffed vine leaves (a meal for vegetarians is also available). The selection of drinks includes beer, soft drinks, and white Santorinian wine. Passengers can also choose the “sea barbeque experience”, a different optional menu (€400, up to four people). This extra supplement menu includes fresh fish, lobster, squid, and a bottle of Delamonte Brut Champagne.
The morning tour starts from Ammoudi port at 10:15 and sails below the caldera, towards the hot springs. Then it sets sail for the White Beach where you’ll have the barbeque on board. On the way, it sails past the island of Aspronisi, Akrotiri, ancient lighthouse, and Indian Rock. The next stop is at Red Beach and finally, the tour ends at Vlychada port. The sunset tour starts from Vlychada port at 15:15 and sets sail towards Red Beach and then White Beach for the barbeque dinner. Next, it sails past Aspronisi, ancient lighthouse, Akrotiri, and Indian Rock before it stops below the village of Oia for the outstanding sunset. The final stop is at the hot springs and the tour ends at Ammoudi port.

Best Day Ever
EXPAND
I booked this charter boat for myself and my adult kids to spend the day on the water. The staff on board were kind, fun, entertaining, happy and made us feel so welcome. For lunch, they set a table for us with white linen, chicken, pork, salads, and wine. I was such a wonderful experience. My children have told me this excursion was their most favorite. I HIGHLY recommend booking a private cruise with your family. You will NOT regret it.

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.
