Highlight of our trip! - 5 stars is not enough. This exceeded all our expectations. Captain Tasso’s and Zoe were amazing and the service onboard was impeccable. Our meals were delicious and the swimming locations were breathtaking. This day was the highlight of our trip and we are so glad we booked. We will be sure to return and tell all our friends and family as well. Highly highly recommend! Thank you!!!

Fantastic option - I’ve done a few catamarans in different vacation spots. This was the best. Views, vibes, service. Would recommend the private cruise. When we (3) got off the boat, we saw 10+ take the our place.

Spectacular 😍 - What about... simply WOW! One of the most beautiful experiences ever on holiday. The catamaran was super comfortable, few guests on board so total relaxation and plenty of space to enjoy everything to the fullest. We bathed in incredible places, postcard clear water, breathtaking scenery and a dreamlike atmosphere. Each stop was better than the last! And then... the food! 😍 Barbecue on board with delicious stuff, fish, meat, vegetables... all cooked there on the spot. You eat like God, and the staff is nice, welcoming and always attentive. It's the kind of experience that makes you forget everything and think, “Why can’t I live like this every day?” Dispassionate tip: absolutely must do if you are passing by Santorini. PS: guys, only Italian coffee is missing to reach absolute perfection... 😄☕ When you add it, I give you 6 stars out of 5!

Best meal and amazing crew! - Highly recommend this boat tour! Our crew, Zoe and Tassos, were the best. Very attentive to us, providing towels, drinks, snorkel gear and anything we needed. The lunch they prepared was one of the best meals of our entire trip! Sea Bream, Octopus, tzatziki, pita and more. We stopped at two swimming spots in crystal blue waters. Zoe told us about the history of each stop along the way. One of the best days of our trip!

There’s always a bigger fish - The wife and I booked this originally leaving from Amoudi bay but with the recent seismic activity the company changed the sail location to the Vlychada Marina. They were very prompt in letting us before hand and preparing all areagments. All we did was have to meet them at the pickup outside our hotel. The crew once we arrived were attentive friendly and knowledgeable. The meal prepared on board was better than anything we’ve experienced stateside on excursions like this. Highly recommend the Santorini sailing group and capt Mike!

Perfect Honeymoon Excursion - Absolutely incredible boat day! I would recommend this excursion to anyone who is looking for a private boat day in Santorini. My husband and I were on our honeymoon and what a perfect day to celebrate. The boat was absolutely magnificent! We went to two separate swimming spots, one by the volcanoes and one by the beach. We stopped to have lunch which they made on the boat, and it was some of the most delicious food we had during our stay in Greece. I would be sure to rebook this trip next time we are in Greece. Let this be your sign to book :)

A Must-Do in Santorini - Sailing around the caldera was breathtaking. The BBQ lunch was fresh and flavorful, and the drinks were plentiful. The crew made sure we were comfortable the entire time.
