Catamaran Sunset - Captain Costa, Billy and the crew made us feel at home, with great conversation, ongoing drinks and an excellent dinner. Swimming, chatting to other families in the yacht, and watching a magnificent sunset made for a wonderful afternoon and evening.

Unforgettable Sunset Experience! - Our sunset cruise with Caldera Yachting was truly one of the most memorable moments of our time in Santorini. We chose the Gold Package and everything from start to finish exceeded our expectations.
The team (Captain Elias, Dimitri & Kristina) were absolutely fantastic – friendly, professional and made sure we were comfortable throughout the trip. The food served on board was delicious and fresh, adding to the luxury of the experience.
The views were simply breathtaking, especially as the sun began to set. As we cruised along, the sky lit up with vibrant colors and the atmosphere became incredibly peaceful. The gentle sound of the waves and the beauty of the moment made it feel almost surreal.
If you’re visiting Santorini, this cruise is an absolute must. It’s the perfect way to take in the island’s magic from the water and create lasting memories.

Beautiful trip, well organized - Excellent day on boat. Caldera Yachting was very well organized with so many people and boats. They got us on our correct boats and took off promptly. Boat was nice and comfortable with plenty of space to spread out. Crew were very friendly and provided great service. Lunch was fresh and delicious with plenty for all. I went solo on this as my husband had enough of the sun and everyone was friendly and I had great chats with several groups. Highly recommend. With few beaches on Santorini, this is the way to get into the ocean and see all sides of Santorini.

Fantastic sea tour of Santorini - From the driver to all of the boat staff, an amazing day on the sea. The swimming was great, snorkelling to see many species of fish and the food and drinks was fantastic. Highly recommend this tour and company.

Caldera Gold cruise with 5 year old - Amazing day out. Picked up from our hotel around around 9.30. The driver Vasilissis was very friendly. From the moment we boarded the Catamaran the crew were great. Big shout to Dusan for the food and Thanos for keeping us informed and topped up from the bar! Great experience to swim inside the volcanic hot springs. Seeing the Caldera from the land is great, but even better to be inside it from the sea. Thoroughly recommend this trip. We took our 5 year old son, and weren’t sure how he’d be, but loved it so much he invited Thanos to come and stay with us! 10/10

Mind-blowing experience!!! - Starting with the perfectly on time pick up from our one of a kind driver "Johny", dropping and accompanying my friends and I at the port of Vlychada to our Catamaran where the Captain "Dakis" and his crew, Sailors "Dusan and Thanasis" greeted us with a smile and made us feel so welcome and comfortable during the whole excursion.
They are all very professional and at each stop informed us about where we were and what we were seeing!
We made a few stops where you were able to jump in the Aegean Sea and just soak up the beauty of Santorini and the surroundings.
After that we made a stop at Thirassia Island across, where we had the most delicious BBQ meal, all prepared on the spot by the crew with love and let's not forget about the delicious white wine!!
It was an extraordinary experience and I truly recommend it without any hesitation!!!

Amazing Yacht Trip - You Must Try It! - We had an amazing time on the S/Y Oasis. It’s our first time in Santorini and getting to exposure to all of the beautiful beaches and spots around Santorini was made possible by Captain Manoles, Panos, George, and Matthew. The crew was extremely hospitable, kind and both me and my wife were extremely happy with their service. Demetrius was great too as our driver. The food was delicious and the spots where we got to swim in the ocean was memorable. The sunset was beautiful as well. We will definitely be back the next time we’re here.
