Light Sea breeze, bright summer sun, relaxing atmosphere, and the most astounding landscape, are the highlights of this Private Catamaran cruise around the island of Santorini! It’s an experience that guarantees carefree moments at the sea!

A Private Catamaran cruise around Santorini is the best way to explore this beautiful island and spend a lovely day with your loved ones. This Private cruise, with one of the most modern and luxurious catamarans on the island, is the ideal choice and will offer you the most amazing and adventurous time at the sea. You can choose between the 5-hour Day tour and the 5-hour Sunset tour, according to your preferences. Either choice will fascinate you!

During the 5-hour Day tour, starting from the small fishing port of Ammoudi, you will sail below the Caldera with the highly impressive rocks, until you reach the unique Volcano of Santorini. Get ready to be surprised by how imposing the atmosphere there, is, and enjoy your first stop at the famous Hot Springs around it. This famous thermal spa, with the water full of sulfur, will provide an alternative mud bath and an experience that you have never felt before.

As you will continue sailing, you will pass the small Aspronisi island and reach the huge Indian Rock formations and the Venetian Lighthouse, which are located in the south part of the island, in Akrotiri. Enjoy this amazing view from the deck of the catamaran, with the company of a nice drink and your beloved people! Next, get ready for a refreshing dive off-board at the clear waters of the White Beach, with the wild cliffs surrounding it, and taste a flavorsome BBQ meal prepared on board with the best ingredients. Soft drinks, white local wine, and beers are also included in the tour. The last stop will be at the famous Red Beach. There, you will have some time to swim and even snorkel if you are a curious diver, or just relax and take nice photos of the amazing scenery around. The tour ends in Vlychada port. Free transportation from/to your hotel is included.

The 5-hour Sunset tour follows the opposite route, starting from Vlychada and finishing at Ammoudi port, but includes one more magic moment, the mesmerizing sunset of Santorini. When you reach a spot below Oia village, you will have the chance to witness this unique spectacle that you will remember forever!

Spend the best summer day on board this Private Catamaran Cruise and have the time of your life!

Amazing Private Catamaran Experience

We had an incredible time on this private catamaran sunset cruise! My wife and I went to Santorini on our honeymoon and decided to pay up for a private catamaran and it was easily worth it. Firstly, the sunset cruise was the best option. Being able to witness the sunset and enjoy such a fresh, hand-prepared dinner was awesome. Secondly, the crew was top notch. They were very professional and service oriented. It was wonderful getting to talk to them. My wife and I had an incredible time. Easily the highlight of our trip to Santorini. Highly recommend.
