Embark on an unforgettable private cruise aboard the luxurious Catamaran Lagoon 500, where Santorini’s breathtaking beauty meets exceptional comfort!

Step aboard a private cruise on the luxurious Catamaran Lagoon 500, a vessel that blends comfort, performance, and elegance. Featuring a spacious flybridge with panoramic views and a large, inviting cockpit, ideal for sunbathing or dining, this catamaran is designed to create unforgettable moments at sea. Perfect for special occasions or those seeking a more intimate and personalized sailing experience, the Lagoon 500 comfortably accommodates up to 20 guests.

The cruise offers three different options to match your preferences and schedule. You can choose the 5-hour day cruise, operating from 10:30 to 15:30, perfect for soaking up the sun and enjoying the stunning daytime views along Santorini’s coastline. Alternatively, the 5-hour sunset cruise begins at 15:30 and continues until after sunset, providing a magical experience that concludes with the breathtaking sunset at Akrotiri. For those who wish to enjoy the full experience, the 10-hour full-day cruise runs from 10:30 until after sunset, combining daytime exploration, swimming, sightseeing, and a spectacular finish as the sun sets over Akrotiri.

The journey begins at Vlychada Marina, with the first stop at the stunning Red and White Beaches, where you can capture breathtaking photos of these unique landscapes. Next, you will dive into the crystal-clear waters near Black Mountain, ideal for snorkeling and discovering vibrant marine life. Afterwards, you will visit the famous volcano, admiring its impressive scale and natural beauty from sea level, before continuing to the hot springs for a refreshing swim and to experience the warmth of geothermal energy. The cruise then heads to Therasia Island, where you can relax under the sun and enjoy swimming and snorkeling in pristine waters. The trip concludes back at Vlychada Marina, while for those who choose the sunset option, they will have the chance to admire the spectacular sunset near Akrotiri on their return journey.

Each of the three cruise options provides a unique experience suited to different tastes. The 5-hour day cruise is ideal for those wishing to bask in the sunshine while exploring Santorini’s breathtaking coastline. In contrast, the 5-hour sunset cruise offers a more romantic and peaceful setting, perfect for enjoying the tranquil beauty of the island as the sun sets. Meanwhile, the 10-hour full-day cruise combines the best of both, allowing guests to spend the day swimming, snorkeling, and sightseeing before concluding with the unforgettable spectacle of the sunset in the middle of the sea.

The cruise offers comfortable air-conditioned transportation to and from your hotel in Santorini, making your journey hassle-free from start to finish. Upon boarding, you will be welcomed with a refreshing drink, while during the cruise, you will enjoy a flavorful meal that includes seafood, chicken fillet, grilled sausages, traditional Greek specialties with dips, vegetable rice, Greek salad, and dessert. An open bar is also available, featuring local white wine, beer, and soft drinks. To make the most of your time in the crystal-clear waters, snorkeling equipment and towels are also provided.

Experience the perfect blend of relaxation, scenic wonders, and delightful dining as you sail away on this exclusive Santorini adventure.

Trip in November - keep in mind its too cold for swimming

If I am to complain about one thing it is that you truly cannot swim in November - the water is around 19 degrees, and the water next to volcano is the same, with only some warm spots - which you should find by swimming through the 19-degrees water... Otherwise, it was a very relaxing experience even with high waves.

Excellent experience

We were very well looked after from pick up to tour itself. Food was delicious. Small number of people on boat crested intimate experience. Boat was impressive, clean and the voyage felt smooth and safe. Well chosen stops. A memorable day out.
