Itinerary
The cruise starts from Vlychada marina. Admire the unique formations of the beach while sailing.
One of the most beautiful beaches of the island. Its distinct red coloration is caused by the rich in minerals and iron soil. Stop to take some photos. We do not drop you off. You do not stop for swimming.
White Beach, which is only accessible by boat, is a marvel to look at. We do not stop for swimming or drop you off.
Our first swimming stop happens at the bay of Mesa Pigadia. You can snorkel, swim or just relax at the sundeck. We do not drop you off at the beach.
Sail below the Indian Rocks near the caves and rock formations, characteristic to the Aegean landscape.
Stop at the hot springs for a swim session at the sulfurous waters that offer a natural spa. We do not drop you off, you need to swim to reach the springs.
We sail towards the volcano and explain the volcano explosion.
Stop for swimming, grab a refreshing drink, while the crew prepares your BBQ meal
Our experience will end at the southern Port of Vlychada.

5Great experience with...
Great experience with friendly staff and guides. Beautiful views all along the way. Meal was delicious too!
5Santorini catamaran cruise
The captain, the crew and Jessica our guided tour did a great job showing us the beautiful places and islands in the route while in the catamaran. We had the opportunity to swim in the ocean. The dinner was very good and offered us drinks all the time. We had a wonderful sunset and Jessica took us pictures. I enjoyed this guided tour so much.
3Relaxing and chill vibe, 2 hours would be better than 5.
The description said open bar, but the only option was lukewarm white wine. There was music, but only at a whisper, so not really a fun party vibe. It was relaxing and chill, and the boat was very nice and comfortable nicer than most catamarans.. I would’ve preferred a shorter trip given that atmosphere two hours would’ve been plenty. Five hours was too long. The food was basic but good.
5Great experience!
Amazing experience. Such a friendly crew and delicious food! Highly recommend to anyone visiting Santorini.
2Very Underwhelming
We booked for Monday and waited for 50 minutes to be collected outside our hotel - nobody arrived and after contacting the company we were informed they’d made a mistake and forgotten us. We had our tour following day - apparently upgraded to a ‘premium tour’ it was okay but nothing special.
5Great trip but watch out for jellyfish!
Door to door service. The drop off point was very busy with lots of organised boat trips leaving around the same time but everything was well managed. Our host was Sofia who was very informative and also great fun! There was plenty of wine and soft drinks available and the food was plentiful, tasty and filling. Although our trip started off with cloud the weather improved and the sun came out for a great sunset. My only note of caution is that when you swim out to the hot springs there are jellyfish en-route which we were not aware of. Unfortunately I and one or two others got stung quite badly and I still have swelling and burn like marks on my arm a few days later. Obviously this has nothing to do with the cruise company who were great but just a word of warning for swimmers.

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.
