Highlight of Santorini

We had a fabulous time with the crew on Friday August 15, 2025! They were knowledgeable and friendly, making a great first impression of Santorini from the water point of view. Lunch was one of our favorites and most delicious of our week of vacation! A must do when you visit beautiful Santorini

Amazing! Fun! Unforgettable!

My family and I are so glad we found this crew to take us on this amazing sunset catamaran experience! From the moment we were picked up by them, everything was personalized and customized to what we were looking for! The crew was so fun and friendly! We had endless laughter with Electra! All the food was absolutely delicious! Electra made special arrangements to make our graduation & birthday celebrations extra special with a champagne toast at the exact moment the sun sets over the horizon. It was amazing and beautiful! I truly can't thank her enough for making my family so so happy. It's definitely one for the books!!!
