Itinerary
Setting sail from Ammoudi bay, right below Oia, or from the Port of Vlychada.
Cruise past Thirasia Island, admiring its dramatic caldera from sea level, with views of the traditional taverns and historic harbor houses nestled in Korfos Bay.
Stop at the "Hot Springs" for a swim session in the sulfurous waters, which offer a natural spa. This is the old volcano of Santorini, and a very popular site. Expect other boats around. We do not drop you off. You need to swim 100m of open water. The springs are warm, depending on the season.
Sail below the Indian Rocks near the caves and rock formations, characteristic to the Aegean landscape.
We reach a quiet cove for our third and last stop for swimming and snorkeling. Enjoy your own privacy away from crowded locations while our crew prepares on board a delicious meal consisting of a buffet/ snack menu with traditional dishes and Greek appetizers, accompanied by local white wine and beverages. We do not drop you off the beach.
One of the most beautiful beaches of the island. Its distinct red coloration is caused by the rich in minerals and iron soil. This is a great photo shooting opportunity!
White Beach, which is only accessible by boat. A stop for swimming and snorkeling is highly recommended. No one can resist the crystal clear blue waters with the rich underwater environment and reefs. We slow down to take photoso.
Our experience will end at the Port of Vlychada or at Ammoudi Bay.
We pass the active volcano which is called Nea Kameni Island. We explain the history of Santorini and the explosion. We take photos during this once in a life time experience.

5Awesome
The is an amazing experience. The views of the caldera looking from the sea up are indescribable. The crew was attentive, informative and helpful. The food and drinks were great and plentiful. Definitely worth the time and money.
5Fantastic day out on the water
Fantastic day out on the water: Captain Stavros, Stefanos and the rest of the crew were very attentive, food and drinks were plentiful and the spots we stopped at for swimming and snorkeling were amazing. The captain also shared a lot of insight on the island history and geology as well as recommendations on great beaches to visit on our own.
5Happy Day on Happy Days Catamaran
Although the bus ride to the port and then getting organized to board the catamaran was a little hectic ….. this trip still gets 5 *****. First the crew…. Amazing professional and fun!!!! The views and the places we stopped to swim….. exceptional!! The sunset in Oia beyond expectations! The guest on board with us so much fun! I highly recommend this trip to anyone who comes to Santorini. Our catamaran’s name was HAPPY DAYS! It totally lived up to its name.
5Amazing day
What an amazing day picked up from our hotel (they did change the time the night before from 9.40 to 9am not sure why as we were hanging about for the boat) When we got on the boat it was amazing. The crew were amazing really informative about the island we had 5 swim stops which were amazing and a fabulous lunch. Drinks were included and after the last swim stop you could have a couple of cocktails We thought it was well worth the €320 for 2 people and would highly recommend
5Best Sunset Cruise/Crew/Ship in Santorini
A Sunset Cruise I’ll Never Forget 🌅✨⛵ There are experiences you hope will be beautiful, and then there are experiences that feel like they were pulled straight out of a storybook. My sunset cruise in Santorini with Spiridakos Overseas was exactly that—and honestly, I could not have asked for a more magical experience from beginning to end. From the very first contact to the moment we stepped off the yacht, Giorgos was an absolute ROCKSTAR! ⭐ His attention to detail, communication, professionalism, and genuine care made me feel like a queen on my own private, personally chartered yacht. Every little detail was handled with such thoughtfulness, and I always felt cared for and valued. Our captain, Ilias, made the evening even more special. He sailed us through the breathtaking waters of Santorini with such confidence and calmness, always keeping us safe while wearing the biggest smile. Watching the sun melt into the Aegean Sea while cruising through that incredible scenery was pure BLISS. 🌅💙 And the crew—Panos and Jawel—were absolutely phenomenal! They worked together seamlessly and were constantly anticipating our needs. From delicious food (cooked onboard) and drinks to fresh towels, pictures, snorkeling gear, and making sure we were comfortable at every moment, they truly went above and beyond. Their warmth and hospitality made the entire experience feel effortless. The whole evening felt less like a tour and more like stepping into a dream. ✨ The views, the sunset, the yacht, the food, the laughter, the service, and most importantly, the people made this an experience I will carry with me forever. Giorgos, Ilias, Panos, and Jewal—you made me feel like royalty and created memories that are truly priceless. ❤️ If you are coming to Santorini and want more than just a sunset cruise—if you want an experience, a memory, and a story you will tell for years to come—BOOK WITH SPIRIDAKOS OVERSEAS. From start to finish, it was pure magic. 🌅👑⛵💙 10/10 doesn’t even begin to describe it. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

About Santorini
Santorini is a crescent of volcanic cliffs in the Aegean, where whitewashed villages and blue domes look over a flooded caldera to famous sunsets.
The island is the rim of an ancient volcano whose eruption left a vast caldera filled by the sea. On its edge, Fira, the main town, and the clifftop villages of Imerovigli and Firostefani cling to the slopes, while Oia, at the northern tip, is celebrated for its sunset views over windmills and whitewashed houses.
Top-ranked sights in Santorini: Red Beach, White Beach, Santorini Volcano.
