Hmm...we can’t seem to find this place. Please check the spelling, or choose another location.

We will pick you up in a Mini Bus, at least one hour prior to the start of the cruise.
Make your way to the marina in time to catch your sailboat. Along with a small group of fellow travelers, go aboard and find a comfortable spot on board. 

The boat sets out for the Red Beach, located adjacent to the historical village of Akrotiri. Stop next at the White Beach, where you may go ashore for swimming and snorkeling. Sail past the Indian Rocks to the tip of the island, marked by the historic Venetian Lighthouse. Admire views of the neighboring Greek islands and the glittering Aegean Sea. 

Sail for the island of Apronisi, passing close by the caldera coast for views of the cliffside towns of Oia, Imerovigli, Firostefani, Old Port and Fira. Continue to the volcanic hot springs, where you can disembark to take a dip in the sulfurous waters. Cruise around the island of Palia Kameni, where you can dive off the boat to snorkel in one of the protected coves. 

Along the way, eat a buffet of barbecue accompanied by cold Greek salads, soft drinks, and wines made on the island. 

After the conclusion of the cruise, end up back at the marina. A driver is available to drop you anywhere on the island.

Best experience ever!!!
Natalie_H

Hands down the best part about our whole trip was this catamaran tour. I did extensive research on the best companies and am SO glad I went with this one. The staff could not have been more welcoming and their positive energy was contagious. I cannot say enough good things about our experience and would definitely recommend.

Beautiful sunset and great food!
Stephanie_C
, May 2022
This was a great experience. Well worth the money. The host was fantastic. He was funny and he kept the drinks flowing. The meal they cooked was really good and there was a variety of things to choose from, all made fresh right there on the boat. The water was a little chilly (we were there at the beginning of October) buy one of our group members did get in and snorkel and we got some great pictures of her snorkeling and the beautiful cliffs in the background. The hot spring was a little disappointing. You have to swim to the hot spring, the water was just really cold and choppy and once you get to the hot spring it really wasn't that warm. The sunset was gorgeous though! And it started getting chilly so they gave us all blankets to keep us warm. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Terrible Experience
Ana_S
, Oct 2021
This sounded like a relaxing cruise, but turned out to be so trashy. The boat is small, which is fine, but they actually allow smoking on the boat. While they "only" allow it on the back of the boat, the boat is not large, so it really doesn't matter. Besides, am I supposed to go to the East facing front of the boat to avoid the smoke when the sun is setting in the West, and it's a sunset cruise...? Even the crew was smoking on board. The smell made me nauseous and I threw up in my mouth from the stench. The food wasn't great either. I put a note on my booking that I am vegetarian, and my only options for food were pasta or salad. Grilled vegetables would have been nice, since the food was supposed to be bbq. Overall, I was there to appreciate the beautiful scenery, and have a relaxing cruise, and it was an absolutely gross experience. Would not recommend to anyone with class.

Dear Ana, Thank you so much for the constructive feedback! You have booked a shared 5-hour cruise with BBQ Shrimps, Fish, Chicken & Drinks. Indeed, since the space is open, we do allow passengers to smoke in the back of the Catamaran. The middle & the front of the Catamaran is smoke-free. We are really sorry that you did not enjoy the food. The details of the meal are public info on the description of the cruise. We would highly recommend you book a private experience in the future, where you can select the food menu and the people that are joining you. With kind regards, Spiridakos Sailing Cruises

This is a MUST BOOK! We had such an amazing time on this sunset cruise with a fantastic crew and captain with great company! The boat was a really good size and we had the perfect amount of people on the boat (not over crowded at all). We had such a lovely time and enjoyed the food on board. This was a 10 out of 10!

Soaking up the sun in Santorini
JohnTrevor_C
, Jun 2021
We had a blast on the Santana boat, captained by Marios. The crew headed by Joanna, with Endri and Klara were top notch making it fun, making sure that every need was met, and explaining the sights along the way. We swam, snorkeled, ate, drank, and soaked in the sun and sunset over the 5 hr trip. Highly recommended.

With so many options for cruises from Santorini, it was tough to decide which one to take. So glad we chose this one. A small number of people on board and a very attentive crew made this well worth the time and cost. Don't delay, book with Viator and you'll be glad you did.

Not the Cruise Lines Fault-- I was ill:(
Jill_M
, Nov 2018
I'm sure the cruise would have been beautiful however after spending the first 3 hours in the hospital-I found I come down with a chest infection-- It was too late to cancel my cruise - so I thought , 'Try it'..They had to let us off at the next available Port..So sad. The crew were fabulous though -very professional and extremely friendly. The boat was beautiful as was the weather..I was the Dark Cloud - Btw-My daughter was the real hero in recognizing that I was trying to stay strong for the two of us and for insisting that I needed to get to bed:(

Best Money Ever Spent
Kimberly_S

This guide was so awesome for my four friends and I, we weren't sure of what to do to see all the different beaches until we saw this. I would totally recommend, the boat cruise was smooth, the food was delicious, the activities were cool too (jumped off the boat, snorkeling, swimming at the diff beaches). Just be careful with your phones slipping out of your pockets into the water, the crew will dive to get it though.
