Morning sailing day tour, Oia - Wonderful experience, with small number of guests it was sort of semi private tour from Oia. Unlimited drinks, good food and wonderful host of captain Antonio, crew of Ixa, George and company of other good guests. Worth every cent!

Amazing and memorable experience - The trip was everything we hoped for. Sailing was smoothe, the swimming and snorkeling were wonderful, the crew (Giannis, Raefaela and Ilias were very attentive and cheerful. The meal they served was delicious and plentiful. Everyone had a great time.

Picture Perfect - The absolute highlight of our Santorini trip. We surprised our family with this sunset catamaran cruise on our penultimate day in Greece, and it exceeded every expectation. Crew was delightful, food was delicious, vibes were immaculate. Cannot recommend enough!

Great day trip - A great way to spend a half day exploring Santorini from the water. We did the boat tour with just 22 pp max. Plenty of room for everyone. Friendly and professional crew, lunch and drinks was delicious and plentiful. Highly recommended.

Great boat trip! - Very nice day with Sunsetoia! Very warmly welcomed by the crew members (Giannis, Angela and Iliad). In the beginning briefly discussed the safety rules to be allowed to lie and sit freely on the catamaran. Only while sailing it was not allowed to sunbathe on the nets.
During the boating, people were regularly asked if someone should have a drink and occasionally told what we saw (history).
The food was also super tasty! You can choose between fish, chicken or pork. This includes tzaziki, cold pasta, bread and vegetables.
Drinks (soft drinks, wine and beer) are included in the price.
The crew members were extremely friendly, enthusiastic and enjoyable.
Highly recommended to do this!

Book the small group (14 max) for best experience! - We chose the day cruise with Sunset Oia and it was one of the highlights of our trip. It was a great way to escape the crowds and heat, and the hotel pickup + boarding from Ammoudi Bay made everything super easy. The staff did a great job introducing everyone, which made the 5-hour trip feel friendly and fun. The semi-private boat was clean and comfortable (only 11 guests vs the big boats with 50+ people), and there were three great swim stops. The food was excellent and the whole operation ran very smoothly. It ends near Red Beach with a van ride back to your hotel — I just wish I had known we’d be on the south end of the island so I could have planned to visit the black beaches afterwards. Highly recommend this excursion!

Highlight of our Greece Trip - We booked a semi-private half-day tour with Sunset Oia, and it ended up being the highlight of our entire trip to Greece! We were a family of six—two teenagers and four adults—and everyone agreed it was unforgettable.
We were picked up in a van and driven to the harbor, where we boarded our boat, the Anafi. Our captain, Adrianna, and crew—Kosmas, George, and Katerina—were all fantastic, friendly, and knowledgeable.
The first stop was the sulfur hot springs, where we had time to swim. When we returned to the boat, they had sandwiches ready for us as a snack. We then sailed to the southern part of the island, passing the beautiful White Beach and Red Beach, with chances to swim at both.
Lunch was served buffet-style and was excellent. I’m vegetarian, and they had plenty of delicious options for me, including grilled vegetables and a variety of salads. My kids enjoyed grilled chicken, and they also offered grilled pork. Another family onboard had a dairy allergy, and the crew easily accommodated them. Dessert was a treat—Greek yogurt with sour cherries, which was amazing. Throughout the trip, wine, soft drinks, and water were always available.
The scenery was spectacular, the water was crystal clear, and the kids especially loved jumping off the boat into the Mediterranean. The blend of stunning views, warm hospitality, and great food made this an experience we will never forget.
Highly recommended!

Tolle Tour - An all around well planned and executed tour. The tour gouides were very friendly and the food (gyros also vegetarian alternative available) was very delicious.
The price/performance ratio was great. Just under 6 hours tour where you can see all the important island points inc. Sunset came to see. Absolute recommendation.
