Looking for a luxurious and unforgettable way to explore the stunning beauty of Santorini? Embark on this Private Sailing experience and relish a worry-free day with your loved ones in the most amazing scenery!

Climb aboard the luxurious Santa Maria Sun Odyssey 52.2 yacht, which is perfect for private excursions around the gems of Santorini and the breathtaking island of Ios, and enjoy a comfortable and carefree experience, thanks to its stateliness and modern amenities. You can choose among 4 different cruises and their suggested itineraries but the fact that the cruises are private means that you can add or remove stops according to your preferences, based on the weather and time limitations. Each cruise provides free pick-up/drop-off service, snorkeling equipment, a complimentary meal and drinks

All guests have the opportunity to select either the 5-hour Day/Sunset Cruises or the Full-Day Cruises around the magnificent islands of Santorini or Ios. The 5-hour Day Cruise departs daily at 10:00 while the 5-hour Sunset Cruise at 15:00. The Full-Day Cruises depart daily at 10:00 and last for 10 hours.

Begin your journey from Vlychada Marina, located in the southern part of the island, and start your sailing adventure from the famous Red beach, where you can relish the stunning reddish-high cliffs from the comfort of your yacht, or take a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear blue waters. Afterward, head towards the magnificent White Beach, where you can marvel at the untamed natural beauty of the scenery.

As the cruise proceeds, you will set eyes on the scenic Mesa Pigadia beach, the huge Indian Rock formations, and the Venetian Lighthouse, which is situated atop the Caldera cliffs and adds a unique charm to the breathtaking landscape. Next, explore the awe-inspiring Volcano of Santorini and immerse yourself in the wild volcanic ambiance. It's an experience not to be missed!

Finally, your itinerary will include a visit to the nearby island of Therasia. Here, you'll have the opportunity to indulge in another refreshing dive in pristine waters before trying the delicious Greek cuisine, along with the famous Santorini white wine, at a traditional tavern.

Choose the Sunset option and witness the stunning sunset of Santorini, where you can watch the captivating colors of the sky as the sun dives into the sea from the best vantage point in the Caldera. Following the remarkable sunset experience on board, you will head back to Vlychada, where your private mini-bus will be waiting to transport you back to your hotel in safety and comfort.

If you choose the Full-Day Cruise either to Santorini or Ios Island, you will set off at 10:00 and embark on a 10-hour journey. Departing from Vlychada Marina, you will start an exciting trip, where you will have the chance to discover either the previously mentioned magnificent parts of Santorini or the island of Ios, which boasts golden sandy beaches with crystal clear waters, such as Magganari Beach. There, you will have the opportunity to appreciate different landscapes than the volcanic ones found in Santorini.

Each cruise provides a unique sailing experience on the idyllic island of Santorini, promising to create sweet memories for you and your loved ones that will last forever!

A dream

We do not usually write reviews but our experience was truly perfect. Dimitris was our captain and was very friendly, knowledgeable of the island, and accommodating. We were so impressed by the service of the crew. It was an experience we will never forget, worth every penny!
