Less time in travel, more time to explore sightseeing.
Organize a day trip around the caldera as you cruise in style, relaxing on the large sunbeds either at the front or the back of the motor cruiser. Axopar 28 MotorCruiser is a brand-new luxury boat, available for private boat excursions and exclusive romantic cruises! You will enjoy an unforgettable day as you explore the most incredible coastal corners of Santorini with a morning or sunset cruise made just for you, with the same benefits of yacht cruises but at half price. There are two tour options to choose from, the 4-hour cruise, and the 5-hour cruise, both of them starting and finishing at Vlychada port. All the excursions include transportation from/to your stay, or the nearest point accessible by vehicle, with our A/C mini-bus, as well as a delicious meal at a traditional restaurant on Therasia Island along with cold drinks on board. Sit back, and keep your camera ready to get a shot of the caldera and the magical Santorini sunset on board (during the sunset cruise). Of course, guests can customize the tour according to their needs.
Pick one of our morning or afternoon tour times, and meet our minibus at your hotel or the nearest meeting location, after which you’ll be transferred to Vlychada port. During the 4-hour Cruise, get ready to embrace all the highlights of Santorini, including the marvelous Red Beach and White Beach, the Indian Rock formations, the Venetian lighthouse, Aspronisi Island, Therasia Island, as well as the impressive Volcano, and the extraordinary Hot Springs near it. Swim, snorkel, soak up the sun, and enjoy a tasteful Greek dinner in a traditional restaurant on Therasia Island. The tour ends at Vlychada Port. The sunset tour starts from Vlychada port and follows the same itinerary with the difference that you enjoy the magical Santorini sunset, on board.
Choose the 5-hour Cruise, and add to all the above-mentioned must-see spots, the picturesque small Ammoudi port and the breathtaking view of Oia village. Then, as you continue your cruising experience along the Caldera, get ready to capture amazing images of all the cliff-jugging Santorini villages, such as Imerovigli village and Firostefani village, as well as pass by the small Old Port, below Fira village. During your cruise, our captain will always be at your disposal to ask for any route change and make your sea excursion an absolutely personalized experience!
The Axopar 28 is a modern and luxurious motor cruiser that was announced as the "Boat of The Year 2020" in the United States of America. With the capability of seating up to five people within a bright and airy, full weather-protected environment, there’s ample incentive for an owner and guests to spend a few hours onboard. Above all, the open roof that loves to be thrown open at any time and the large, side-opening doors on either side, meaning there’s natural light and ventilation always readily to hand. Versatile by design, the walkaround side access and aft deck in standard form is a large, flat, and practical space that works well as a home. In addition, its special exhaust system allows for substantial noise abortion, making the motor cruise a silent operation and therefore more comfortable and relaxing. Go further and stay out longer with the Axopar 28 Premium Walkaround Deck MotorCruiser.

Exceeded all expectations
This boat trip made our honeymoon! It exceeded all expectations and is a must do if visiting Santorini. We booked it expecting a nice relaxing trip around the island to see the views and sunsets but on top of this we felt like we had our own personal tour guide with Peter. He gave us so much interesting information at each stop which made us view Santorini in a whole new light and gave us a new found appreciation for how the beautiful island was created. There is a great food stop on the island of Thalisa which is an island we wouldn’t have otherwise gone to. We were so looked after during our whole trip, we couldn’t have asked for better service! Drinks on tap, swim stops, towels laid out, bags taken care of, photos at every stop (big thanks to Karim!) Karim is a credit to Peter and the trip, we felt like we had 5* service. At the end of the trip Peter told us he does that trip every day for 6 months of the year but he carried out the trip with care and enthusiasm as if we were his first customers! If you do anything on your holiday, book this boat with Peter!

A deeper look inside Santorini's caldera
We had a wonderful time aboard this very beautiful and comfortable boat. Captain Peter and his skipper were both very kind to us and our children, and had lots of explanations to help us better understand the wonderful sites of Santorini, and also Greek people and culture. The ride was smooth (we had very good weather). A day we will remember for a long time!

Amazing Experience!
We took the private motor boat, sunset cruise by Sail Away and it was one of our favorite experiences on our honeymoon in Greece! Captain Petros did an amazing job choosing the best route so that we got the best views and avoided the crowds. It was so relaxing and we got to see all the stunning Santorini sights in one excursion. Captain Petros made sure we were well taken care of and was a wonderful tour guide. It truly was a luxury experience. Not to mention the amazing dinner on Therasia, simply delicious! There was a chance of rain in the forecast and they were more than willing to accomodate and reschedule, but the weather turned out perfectly! This was by far the best way to experience a Santorini sunset! Truly an unforgettable experience! I highly recommend this excursion for anyone who wants a private, luxury experience at an affordable price.
