This luxurious Catamaran Lagoon 450 is the ideal vessel for the ultimate private cruise around Santorini and nearby islands, as it features modern equipment, lavish indoors and outdoors, and relaxing spacious areas. During this cruise, passengers can explore the coastal gems of the island of Santorini, in great comfort and live a unique experience, the most magnificent one, someone can have in Santorini! There are 3 different private options to choose from: a daytime, a sunset, and a full-day cruise. They all start from the marina of Vlychada and end back there, and they include free pick-up and drop-off service, snorkeling equipment, and, of course, a delicious BBQ meal on board, accompanied by unlimited drinks. Keep in mind that as the cruises are private, you can add or remove stops according to your preferences, based on the weather and time limitations. Don’t forget to bring your sun lotion, a hat, a light jacket, and a camera.
The Day Private Catamaran Cruise departs daily at 10:00 whereas the Sunset Private Catamaran Cruise departs daily at 15:00 and they both last for about 5 hours. They follow the same suggested itinerary, setting sail first for the wondrous Akrotiri village where you can set eyes on the breathtaking Red Beach and White Beach, two perfect examples of what makes Santorini a unique volcanic island. You will take photographs of amazing sceneries, red and white volcanic cliffs, as their names indicate, and spectacular waters. The first stop for swimming is at Mesa Pigadia Beach, a picturesque small cove where the volcanic rocks compose an impressive landscape once again. It is highly recommended to use the snorkeling gear to explore the amazing seabed. Then, before reaching the sulfur springs of the Volcano, you will have the chance to admire the Indian Rock, an interesting rock formation on the caldera that resembles an Indian’s face, and the adorable Venetian Lighthouse of Akrotiri. At the sulfur springs, you will have a special swim in warm mineral waters that own therapeutic properties and constitute one of the highlights of the tour. (Choose dark-colored bathing suits for this occasion.) Then, you will get more beautiful images of the enormous Caldera cliffs, as you are sailing back to Vlychada port, for the end of the cruise.
The delicious meal served on board includes a Greek salad with organic products and Cretan oil, tzatziki, grilled feta cheese, and mushrooms for appetizers. The main course is either chicken leg fillet with marinade, served with beef sausage, or seabream with shrimps. The vegetarian option is spaghetti Napolitan (red sauce). There is also fresh fruit and unlimited water, sparkling water, beer, and white wine. The sunset cruise provides one last stop, the most anticipated one, in order to relish the jaw-dropping spectacle of the sunset in Santorini!
The Full-Day Private Catamaran Cruise, on the other hand, starts daily at 10:00 and lasts up to 10 hours. What is special about this option is that you have the opportunity to visit more islands and points of interest, such as the Old Port of Fira, the charming Armeni Bay, Seven Holy Youths Church, and Tripiti Spot, a remarkable cave in Therasia. You can choose to sail around the caldera and the island of Santorini or visit the nearby island of Ios or Koufonisia.
Whichever cruise you select, you are sure to have the time of your life and gain an unforgettable experience!
Words can’t begin to describe how amazing our private catamaran cruise was. The crew, oh the crew they were fantastic. Petros, Mike, and Raina were absolutely incredible. If you are in Santorini this is a must do trip!!! The catamaran was behind our expectations. The views were out of this world. The food prepared by Raina and the grilling by the guys were out of this world. Petros did the most amazing job explaining the islands and volcanoes to us. Mike was such a fantastic Captain and we felt safe at all times. We absolutely loved every minute and didn’t want it to end. The driver that picked us up from our hotel Nini was also amazing and everything was done top notch and we can’t wait to one day go back and do it again!!! If you ever have the chance this is a must do.

This cruise in Santorini was amazing! The Margarita crew made us feel special from the very first introduction. We went to several amazing swimming spots that we would have otherwise not had a chance see. The boat was beautiful, comfortable and had plenty of room for our group of 8. I originally struggled between the sunset or morning cruise, but I am so glad we picked the day cruise. I believe it allowed us more time in the water which was important to us. I knew the cruise included a meal but the taste and quality of the food exceeded all of our expectations - it was so good! Would 100% do this again!, Excellent!, Well organized!, Wonderful experience!, A must do., Our guide was awesome!
Had a great experience, the staff were very nice and helpful. Amazing food!

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!
