The dedicated crew is there to guide you through the island’s hidden gems and breathtaking landscapes, as this unforgettable sailing adventure promises to be the highlight of your vacation. Whether you are sharing this experience with a loved one or your family, the journey will leave you with memories to cherish forever.
The cruise offers a range of options tailored to different preferences. For those who enjoy basking in the sun, the Private Day Cruise which starts at 10:30 and finishes at 15:30, provides the perfect 5-hour escape. However, for those seeking a more romantic experience, the Private Sunset Cruise is designed to capture the island’s famous sunset in all its glory. Starting at 15:30, this 5-hour voyage allows you to bask in the warm evening light before concluding after sunset, making it an ideal choice for couples. Alternatively, for those wanting the most comprehensive experience, the Full-Day Cruise offers a complete immersion in Santorini’s beauty, from morning until evening. This all-day journey begins at 10:30 and ends after sunset.
All cruises depart from Vlychada Marina, where the adventure begins with a scenic sail to Red Beach. There, you can take a refreshing swim or capture stunning photos before continuing past the famous White Beach. The journey then takes you to the therapeutic waters of the Hot Springs at Santorini's Volcanic islands, followed by views of the Indian Rocks and iconic Lighthouse. After, a serene stop at Mesa Pigadia Beach offers the chance to swim in tranquil waters, all while enjoying a sumptuous onboard meal. For Sunset and Full-Day cruises, your journey concludes with a magical view of the sunset near Akrotiri Lighthouse.
The cruises are thoughtfully designed to cater to every need. The Day Cruise is perfect for sun-seekers and snorkeling enthusiasts, while the Sunset Cruise sets the stage for romance. The Full-Day Cruise, however, stands out as the ultimate experience, offering a blend of relaxation, exploration, and breathtaking views for those who want to fully immerse themselves in Santorini’s magic.
Throughout your journey, you will be treated to exceptional hospitality. Indulge in Santorinian wine, beers, and refreshing soft drinks as you sail, and enjoy a delicious barbecue meal on board. Additionally, snorkeling gear and towels are provided, ensuring you are fully equipped to dive into the crystal-clear waters, while to make the experience truly hassle-free, round-trip transportation from your accommodation to the marina is included, leaving you free to focus on enjoying the day.
A private catamaran cruise is more than just a sailing trip; it’s an opportunity to explore Santorini’s natural wonders in comfort and style!

Highlight of our trip
Sailing around Santorini on a catamaran was truly one of the highlights of my trip. From the moment we stepped on board, the crew made us feel welcome and comfortable, offering drinks and explaining what to expect throughout the day. The boat itself was spacious, clean, and had plenty of spots to lounge, whether you wanted sun or shade. The views were absolutely breathtaking—sailing past the caldera cliffs, the red and black beaches, and out toward the open Aegean Sea gave us a completely different perspective of the island. We made a few swimming stops, and the clear blue water was irresistible (snorkeling gear was provided). The food was far better than I expected on a boat excursion—freshly grilled meats, salads, and local dishes that felt authentic and satisfying. Highly recommend!
