Planning the perfect Santorini tour with family or friends?
There’s no better way to make it memorable than booking a catamaran cruise!

You’ll know you made the right decision as soon as you step aboard the catamaran. A sense of thrill will run through your body as you sail across the crystal waters. You’ll also devour a delicious meal on board. The items on the menu include chicken fillet, tzatziki, beans, stuffed vine leaves, fruits, Greek salad, and Bread. You can also enjoy sipping on local white wine and soft drinks.

You can choose to go on a Day Trip or Sunset Trip.

Day Trip

The day trip lasts from 10:30 to 15:30 and starts from the graphic marina in Vlychada. You’ll sail across the Red and White Beach, where you can take spectacular photos of the landscape before reaching the old port of Fira. You will enjoy the stunning views of Caldera and admire the glorious sights of the island. Next, you’ll head towards the Hot Springs of Volcano for a therapeutic swim. The volcanic vibes and lunar landscape of the area will be a treat for the eyes! The final stop will be the Black Mountain, where you can swim and devour a fulfilling meal before sailing back to the port.

Sunset Trip

The sunset trip starts at 15:30 from the Vlychada port and follows the same route as the day trip. However, after taking pictures of the stunning Red and White Beach, admiring the Caldera views, swimming and snorkeling in the healing waters at the volcano, and enjoying a delicious meal at Black Mountain, you’ll stop to admire the exquisite sunset of Santorini. The glorious view of the fading sun going down on the sea will be the highlight of this trip.

The Sailing Catamaran Cruise with buffet meal and drinks is the perfect tour to explore Santorini Island, have fun with your loved ones, and make memories that you’ll cherish for a lifetime!

Best Boat Cruise!!!!

Totally worth paying a little more to get a cruise with less people. Get to enjoy the sea a lot more. Food was great and staff was amazing. I would do this trip again in a heart beat if we go back to Santorini. If you are not looking for a party boat, and just want to relax and enjoy the sea and sunset, this is the cruise for you.

My family absolutely loved this tour. In short, why go through all the trouble to get to Santorini (by plane or by ferry), put up with the crowds and the inflated prices, and not see the spectacular island from its best angle, the water? That's reason enough to do it. The crew was friendly and entertaining, the food good if simple, the pick up and drop off a lifesaver. Go! Still, things to know: if you look on the water (at least, in the few days I was there), you see many catamarans and few sails. After going, I suspect I know why: the boats can't reliably cover the distances they're promising while tacking for wind; they have to go under motor. The occasional jib sail is only for show; enjoy the show. Also, don't put too much into the advertised itinerary (stop here, swim there): you're on the water, it's stupidly beautiful, that's enough. It's more fun if you know what you're getting.
