Live an unforgettable summer experience on Santorini with a Catamaran Cruise to the treasures of the island! It will be the highlight of your trip!
Enjoy the stunning scenery of the island with your friends or family and leave all your worries behind as you cruise along scenic beaches, hidden coves on the Caldera rim, and serene neighboring islands. It’s a must-do experience during your summer holidays in Santorini! Whether you choose to perform the 5-hour Day Cruise or the 5-hour Sunset Cruise, the carefree moments on board are guaranteed! Both tour options, provide free pick-up/drop-off from your hotel, so the experience starts with an easy ride across the island until you reach the port of departure.
Embarking from Vlychada port, in the southern part of Santorini, you will start your sailing adventure from the famous Red Beach, where you can marvel at the beautiful reddish cliffs or take a dip in the crystal-clear waters. A chance for a refreshing swim before heading to the remarkable White Beach and Mesa Pigadia Beach. The volcanic scenery at its glory will be revealed before your eyes in these breathtaking locations, so get your cameras ready for memorable photos! Then, take in the mystical surroundings as you look up and spot the Indian Rock formations, and the Akrotiri Lighthouse, on the top of the Caldera cliffs, before your next destination.
The highlight of the tour is visiting the impressive Volcano of Santorini and the amazing Hot Springs. You will have the opportunity to get close to the volcanic islands and swim in the warm healing waters of the Hot Springs before sailing to the serene Therasia island. There, another swimming opportunity in the crystal clear waters awaits, before heading back to the port for the end of the cruise.
If you opt for the Sunset Cruise, in addition to visiting the aforementioned beautiful parts of the island, you will have the chance to embrace the world-renowned Santorini sunset before arriving back at Vlychada port.
During the cruise, the crew will prepare a delicious lunch or dinner, made with the best local ingredients, accompanied by unlimited local wine, beers, and beverages. As the sun sets, you will be offered a glass of sparkling Prosecco wine! Also, fresh fruits and traditional handmade desserts will provide a sweet ending to this amazing experience!

Definitely 10 out of 10
It’s a beautiful ship and the staff are super friendly and kind. Alex, a young man of 22, served us incredibly well, he truly deserves a 10/10. Alex, I hope you’ll become a captain in a few years, and I wish you all the best on your journey with this amazing boat. Who knows, maybe we’ll see you again in the future when you’re the one steering the ship! Thank you all for the wonderful experience. Highly recommended, definitely worth more than a 10!

Great time
If you’re in Santorini, a catamaran cruise is a must. We took the day cruise with Santorini Star Luxury Sailing, where we had a great time on a nice boat with 14 total people including 3 fantastic crew members: Xrisa, Tzannis, and captain Natalia. For seating under the sun, our boat had two large nets in the front to sit on (2 people each at a time while sailing, more when anchored), as well as a couch-like area in the front to sit at (could hold about 6-8 ppl), and a spot up by the captain to lay down (3-4 people comfortably). There was also a large shaded spot that we could all fit. There were 2 bathrooms on board. We sailed from 10:00-15:00 on beautiful waters in the warm Mediterranean sunshine, drinking complementary chilled Santorini white wine and cold Greek beer. We stopped to swim three times, and after the last stop the crew served us an amazing dinner with shrimp, chicken, sausage, pasta, mussels, Greek salad and bread. The crew was very friendly and social, and gladly took photos for us and chatted with us. This experience was definitely worth it and if I ever come back to Santorini I would definitely do it again.
