Best day of the trip!
Hard to put into words what an amazing experience we had.
It started before we ever booked a trip with prompt, informative answers to all our questions. Then, we requested to change days once on the island as the weather looked to be better than the day we had planned. Without and trouble they agreed (we were in a slower season so during the peak tourist time I imagine this may not be possible) Then the boat trip (more in that in a minute). The great service continued when we realized we left a personal item on the boat and they were so easy to work with to get it back. Everyone we interacted with was fantastic.
Now the boat- do it. Book it. You will not regret it. If you can afford it, book a private trip with just your family or friends. But I wouldn’t miss this even if you go with an unknown group. The water was as clear as I have ever seen water ...chilly when you jumped in...but enjoyable when the sun was up. The view of Oia, the caldera and the sunset was the best on the island - and we went end to end!
Our crew recommended we take a longer trip across to another island with a more private beach. It was a 2 hour +|- ride which allowed us to just sit back and enjoy the ride. On the way home we stopped by the rocks in Amoudi Bay and admired Oia from below.
The boat was gorgeous!!! Clean and well cared for!! The crew was kind, helpful and informative. And I haven’t even mentioned lunch!! The food was so good I had to get the recipe! Delicious!
All in all- this was the best day for all 9 of us, from our 11 year old daughters, to ur 16 year old daughters, to the 22 year old son and the parents. Across the board the highlight of the trip.
