You must book - This is a must do experience. Santorini from the water is a different island and Panos takes the time to explain the volcanic history while being a great skipper and host. I would highly recommend you book this tour well before you arrive. You bypass the hordes of tourists and and get a 100% locals experience.

Santorini friendliest snorkel and sunset - Panos was an incredibly attentive host. He treated my family with utmost respect and care and made an unforgettable magical memory for us. Amazing food, a magical sunset and a stress free and relaxing day and evening on his luxurious boat. Every spot he chose to stop was most leisurely and absolutely prime choices of location.

Wonderful afternoon and evening by boat in the caldera - This is a must do trip on Santorini. Panos communicated well prior to the trip. He was an excellent captain and guide. Our trip included swimming in the warmer volcanic springs, an excellent lunch at a scenic swim spot, followed by a cruise into the sunset. Seeing the volcanic islands from a boat definitely enhanced the view of the area. Panos was very knowledgeable on the geologic history of the caldera. If you can definitely book this trip.

Unforgettable experience in Santorini with Panos! 🌅 - Very nice experience in Santorini! 🌅 We had the chance to share a superb ride with Panos, a man from the island who loves Santorini deeply and enjoys showing her around. Always very pleasant and considerate, he offered us a snack of delicious Greek specialties, while leading us to absolutely magnificent views. Authentic and unforgettable moments, to recommend without hesitation 100%!

Must Book Boat Tour of Santorini - If you’re on the fence, book this tour! Panos is the best guide - we learned so much about the history of Santorini and saw so much of the island. There were several breaks for swimming (and snorkeling!), which helped cool us off on a hot day. To top it off, Panos provided a top tier meal right before sunset. My entire family agreed that this was the best part of our vacation in Greece. Thank you, Panos!!!

An amazing day you will never forget - What an afternoon and sunset with cruising with Panos in the Agean sea. We learned so much about Santorini and spent our time cruising and Swimming in the sea. Dinner is indescribable, clean plate club award winning traditional Greek meal with Assyrtiko wine from the grapes of Santorini. The meal was the cherry on top of an amazing day. So grateful to have had this unique and private experience. Highest of recommendations!!

ADVENTURE AWAITS! - ADVENTURE AWAITS! Captain Panos and first mate Oestes were fabulous, making our luxury boat tour in Santorini one of the highlights of our two weeks in Greece. He is knowledgeable about the history and topography of Santorini, and will take you to spots only the locals (PANOS!) know (and smaller boats can get to). The Caldera is magnificent, with the hot springs and historical imprints. We swam near the epicenter of the active volcano, and jumped into the beautiful sea alongside the caldera’s edges. The views of Oia from the sea are unforgettable. Captain Panos is camera-ready, with his go-pro and insta account, ready to share with you amazing pics and videos (if you want). The lunch in the cove was quiet and serene, and the local tapas and wine served were some of the best bites of Santorini. It’s worth the investment - create your Santorini memories here. They are unforgettable.
