Meet your professional skipper and crew, and find a comfortable spot on the deluxe modern catamaran. Then, sit back and admire Santorini’s caldera and sugar-cube clifftop houses as your vessel pulls away from dock. Relax and enjoy the sea breezes, and take snaps of the views as your catamaran cuts through the waves of the Aegean Sea. As you sail, enjoy the unlimited Santorini wine, Greek beers or sodas available from the onboard bar.
After a short sail across the south part of the island, stop at the Red Beach. Pause here and enjoy time to swim, snorkel or simply sunbathe on the decks.Then, drop anchor at the hot springs beside Nea Kameni, Santorini’s ancient volcano. Step ashore and submerge yourself in the warm pools, whose waters are thought to have medicinal powers that help alleviate skin and bone conditions.
Back aboard, cruise along the coast to Santorini’s southern beaches. Head for the White Beach, and, if you wish, leave the boat to swim in the crystal waters. If you fancy checking out the undersea life, use the supplied snorkeling equipment and set off in search of colorful fish and other underwater sights.
Afterward, return to deck for a delicious lunch or dinner, depending on the cruise time you’ve chosen. Dig into an enticing selection of pork and grilled chicken, Greek salad, pasta salad, fresh bread and fruit.
Roughly 30 minutes later, start out on your return journey. If you’ve chosen the sunset cruise, soak up the sight of one of Santorini’s magical sunsets. Snap pictures or just enjoy the moment as the sun sinks below the horizon in a blaze of orange, gold and pink.
Lastly, dock back at the jetty and finish your tour with a hotel drop-off.
Please note: the stop at the Red and/or White Beach may be changed to a different beach, depending on your experienced catamaran skipper’s judgement of weather and sea conditions on the day of your cruise. In every swimming stop opportunity, the catamaran boat anchors off the beaches in deep waters as the vessel is not able to dock on the actual beaches in shallow waters.

Viator Traveler's Reviews
Our experience was truly memorable. pick up was punctual and comfortable in AC van. The boat crews were friendly and accommodating. Dinner was excellent considering that there is limited Kitchen on the Catamaran. Only wish we have is that it would have been great if the all day experience was available. we were picked up at 2:45 and we were back on the shore around 9 PM. We wish there was more time to enjoy the beach and swimming....But overall We felt that it was definitely worth the money.
Beautiful sunset on the water! We sailed around Santorini on a boat called the Bonita. The captain and crew were very welcoming. Thodoris, one of the crew members, was great! He told us about the history of the island and about the sights we were seeing. He also took all the pictures we wanted! We got to swim and snorkel. And, the food was excellent! Absolutely worth it! Would definitely recommend!
This boat and crew were amazing! Do yourself a favor and get off the island during peak cruise season time! We spent a leisurely day swimming, eating, and drinking while being chartered around the island on a great sailboat! The food was amazing and we swam in the crystal clear waters and saw all the great beaches that Santorini had to offer!
Hotel pickup and drop off. Taken to the marina, where we got on a private catamaran along with 10 other guests. We went on an exciting excursion around the islands. We had a swim by the Red Beach, a swim in the hot springs, followed by the sunset sitting off shore- towels provided along with snorkel gear. Also provided swim floats to make it fun for swimming in the sea in safety. We had an excellent prepared dinner on the boat, all cooked fresh, with unlimited drinks- we never ran out. A great time. We had good running commentary from Nicholas who was a great photographer as well. A friendly crew, and a great experience.
My group booked the whole catamaran - 15 of us staying at 4 different hotels. We were all picked up from our hotels timely and the catamaran was waiting when we arrived! Excellent staff, delicious food and great itinerary! While we swam in the Mediterranean Sea,a gourmet meal was being prepare for us consisting of grilled chicken and prawns(shrimp), fried fish, fresh salad, pasta and more. All prepared on the catamaran. Very impressive and the highlight of out Greece trip!
This was the most amazing excursion we could have ever stumbled up! We absolutely loved it. The crew was amazing and so was the food and views! We got to do everything we wanted- sight see, swim, and enjoy the sunset! Please book this- you won’t regret it! Best thing we did through our whole trip!
