Step aboard a semi-private catamaran and admire Santorini from a new perspective!

Discover the enchanting beauty of Santorini from the sea on a semi-private catamaran cruise, thoughtfully designed for couples and small groups seeking a relaxing escape. Offering a crowd-free experience, this effortless journey strikes the perfect balance between comfort, breathtaking scenery, and unforgettable exploration.

You have two unforgettable cruise options to choose from: the Day Cruise, perfect for basking in the sun, or the Sunset Cruise, which offers a front-row seat to Santorini’s world-famous sunset, an awe-inspiring view best experienced from the open water.

Your adventure begins at the tranquil Vlychada Marina, where you will set sail along Santorini’s dramatic and captivating coastline. The first stop is the stunning Red Beach, famous for its vivid crimson cliffs, a perfect backdrop for memorable photos. As you continue your cruise, you will pass by the striking White Beach, followed by a relaxing stop at Mesa Pigadia Beach, where you can enjoy a refreshing swim or simply unwind under the sun. Next, you will glide past the uniquely shaped Indian Rock and the historic Akrotiri Lighthouse, both offering breathtaking, postcard-worthy views of Santorini’s rugged charm. From there, you will head toward the volcanic islets of Palia and Nea Kameni, where you will have the chance to swim in crystal-clear, mineral-rich waters. After this unforgettable experience, you will return to Vlychada Marina. If you have chosen the sunset cruise, you will witness the unforgettable sight of the sun setting by the Akrotiri Lighthouse.

While both cruise options share this unforgettable route, the Day Cruise is ideal for those who want to swim, snorkel, and bask in the sun. On the other hand, the Sunset Cruise delivers a truly romantic atmosphere as the sun dips below the caldera, painting the sky with golden and violet hues.

To complete the experience, you will be served a freshly grilled seafood lunch or dinner, thoughtfully prepared on board by the crew and infused with authentic local flavors. Throughout the cruise, you can enjoy complimentary local white wine, beer, and soft drinks. For your comfort and ease, the cruise also includes round-trip transportation to and from your accommodation, as well as snorkeling gear, towels, and the attentive service of an English-speaking crew.

Set sail on this Semi-Private Catamaran Cruise and create memories that will stay with you forever!

Great sail, views, food and people!!

What a great time! Our captains, Georgio and Lucas were great. They were friendly and knowledgeable. We were lucky to be near the end of the season so we got a private cruise, just me and my girlfriend. The food was great and generous, as was the wine. As a sailor myself, I especially liked being on a monohull and sailing most of the way. Too many 'sailing' tours never unfurl the sails, that was definitely not the case this time. I highly recommend this tour as a great way to see the south end of the island and just a great way to spend a few hours with good people and good food.
