Set sail from the picturesque port of Ammoudi and embark on an exclusive journey across the breathtaking caldera. Designed for couples, families, and groups of friends who wish to experience Santorini from a unique perspective, this private cruise blends relaxation, adventure, and luxury into one unforgettable day at sea. Away from the crowds, surrounded by crystal-clear waters and volcanic scenery, you will have the opportunity to unwind, swim, and soak up the magic of the island while being taken care of by an experienced crew.
Guests can choose between three cruise options, each one designed to showcase Santorini’s most breathtaking locations. Depending on your preferences, you may select the 4-hour Morning Cruise, the 6-hour Sunset Cruise, or the 10-hour Full-Day Cruise.
Set off on a Private Morning Cruise from the charming cove of Ammoudi in Oia, where your journey both begins and ends. Your first destination is the serene island of Therasia, a quiet haven with crystal-clear waters ideal for a refreshing swim and moments of pure relaxation. The cruise then glides toward the dramatic volcanic islet of Nea Kammeni, where you can slip into the warm sulfur springs and enjoy a naturally therapeutic bath in mineral-rich waters. While on board, a freshly grilled BBQ made with local ingredients will be served, adding a delicious touch to your adventure. Before returning to Ammoudi, the catamaran sails past the Old Port of Fira and the picturesque chapel of the Holy Seven Youths, both offering wonderful opportunities for incredible photos against the caldera cliffs. The last charming sight of the route is Armeni, a small, historic port that once played a key role in Oia’s maritime life.
Departing daily at 14:00 from the scenic bay of Ammoudi, the Private Sunset Catamaran Cruise takes you away from Santorini’s dramatic cliffs to explore the island’s most beautiful spots. Your first stop is Therasia, where you can swim in crystal-clear waters or relax while enjoying the peaceful surroundings. Next, sail to the sulfur springs at Nea Kammeni for a warm, mineral-rich bath in unique volcanic waters. The cruise then continues to Akrotiri, where the lighthouse and Indian Rock offer stunning photo opportunities. Depending on weather conditions, you may stop at White Beach, Mesa Pigadia or Red Beach for snorkeling, swimming, or simply soaking in the volcanic scenery. A freshly prepared BBQ meal is served on board, letting you dine surrounded by the tranquil Aegean. Along the way, admire the Old Port of Fira and the quiet Bay of Armeni, perfect for memorable snapshots. The cruise culminates in the iconic Santorini sunset beneath Oia village, as the sky glows with gold, pink, and violet, an unforgettable moment to savor from the deck.
The Full-Day Private Cruise departs from Ammoudi and brings together the very best of both the morning and sunset itineraries, offering a complete and immersive exploration of Santorini by sea. Throughout the day, you will visit Red Beach, White Beach, and additional beautiful spots along the caldera that are only accessible by boat. Enjoy extended swimming breaks, snorkeling in clear waters, and ample time to relax on board while taking in the island’s dramatic volcanic scenery. With its unhurried pace and full-day duration, this cruise is the perfect option for guests who want to enjoy long hours at sea, more time at each stop, and a deeper experience of Santorini’s coastline all day long.
Whether you choose the Morning, Sunset, or Full-Day Cruise, each option promises remarkable scenery, refreshing swims, and unforgettable, serene moments at sea. The Morning Cruise offers the bright energy of early daylight, the Sunset Cruise highlights Santorini’s world-famous golden hour, and the Full-Day Cruise is ideal for those seeking extended relaxation and exploration along the island’s stunning coastline.
Throughout all cruises, you will enjoy a freshly prepared BBQ meal featuring authentic Greek flavors, accompanied by Santorini white wine, cold beers, soft drinks, and water. Lunch or dinner will be served in a peaceful setting, surrounded by volcanic cliffs and the open sea. Towels, snorkeling equipment, and all safety gear are provided for your comfort, while complimentary round-trip transfers from your accommodation to Ammoudi Bay ensure a seamless and carefree experience.

Absolutely! Greece is one of the safest countries to swim in. You will be glad to know that sharks in the Aegean Sea (usually from species such as dogfish) are harmless, sightings are extremely rare while attacks are unheard of! In addition, the waves are usually small, especially inside the Caldera where most boat cruises make stops for swimming. So, based on the above, if you enjoy swimming, snorkeling, or even diving... you are in the right place!
