Sun and Fun in Santorini
What a fantastic day on the boat and a wonderful way to explore the Island of Santorini. Our crew consisted of Tony and his first mate, both were very kind and went out of their way to make all 4 of us feel very comfortable on our full day trip. Our trip began by being picked up at 11:00 am, just a few steps from where we were staying and ended at 9:45 pm in the same location. That’s a nearly 11 hour day that Tony and his first mate put in just for our group. Undoubtedly they put in much more time preparing for our day, before picking us up, as well as getting the boat cleaned up afterward. We made several stops in different areas around Santorini including other nearby islands and a stop at the volcanic hotsprings. The grilled meal prepared by Tony and his first mate was absolutely outstanding. We ended the boat trip with the beautiful Santorini sunset. I’ve done many boat trips like this and can say that this company and these guys know exactly what they are doing to ensure you and your friends/family have an amazing day. Be sure to tip the crew, they work hard and deserve it!

AMAZING!!!
This was the most AMAZING sunset cruise!!! Kostas and Mike were the best ever! So attentive, helpful, knowledgeable!!! AND kept our wine glasses full!! We couldn’t have found a better sunset view without crowds! The food was also prepared so well! What a great experience! It was also wonderful having Kostas pick us up at our Airbnb… such great service! If you’re thinking of going on a cruise this one is the one to choose… nice to have the boat to ourselves!
