The Day Cruise departs at 10:00 AM, while the Sunset Cruise departs at 15:00. Make your choice and get ready to embark on a one-of-a-kind journey with your family or friends!

After free pick-up from your hotel and a spectacular drive through the island, you will arrive at Vlychada port and your adventure will start with a visit to the renowned Red beach of Santorini. Enormous cliffs and an alluring red-colored landscape will be the perfect background while you are enjoying a refreshing swim in the crystalline blue sea. Next, you will pass by the stunning White beach, where the wild scenery will undoubtedly entice you. Get ready for the most incredible memories, and get your cameras ready for the best summer photos!

As the sailing adventure continues, raise your eyes up to the sky and gaze at the impressive Black Mountain and the amazing Indian Rock formations, along with the famous Akrotiri Venetian Lighthouse, which is immobile atop the caldera cliffs. Your collection of summer vacation pictures will grow with even more gorgeous images!

The imposing Santorini Volcano and its nearby healing Hot Springs will be your next stop. Feel the energy coming from beneath there by taking a fantastic mud bath in the healing waters before you continue traveling to the north part of the island, below the graphic village of Oia and along the small island of Therasia. Together with the fantastic images that you will gain during your cruise, you will get to taste a delectable BBQ meal served with the famous Santorini white wine, beers, and soft drinks.

If you select the Sunset Cruise, a magical spectacle awaits as before the end of the cruise you will witness Santorini's captivating sunset. Watch the sun disappearing on the horizon and feel a sense of calmness! You will never forget that feeling! The cruise will finish at Vlychada port and then you will be driven back to your hotel.

Bring your loved ones along for the most relaxing day of your lives and the most thrilling adventure in the sea!

Majestic amidst harsh weather condition

Thank u for providing us a different kind of experience in Santorini. Even though the weather was not the best on that day, u still took us in and made the most out of it. You gave us warnings and even advised us to cancel coz of the weather. But we braved thru the winds and big waves and was in awe of how you both delivered us safely back to shore. We will definitely recommend you and would seek your services again when we go back. Efcharisto!, Excellent!, A great experience!, Excellent!
