Get ready for an unforgettable sailing experience on this luxury small group catamaran cruise!
A sunset catamaran cruise is definitely one of the must-have experiences in Santorini and the perfect way to explore all the hidden gems of the island. This 6-hour tour promises to be an exciting journey across the island, allowing you to enjoy the exquisite landscapes.
Starting daily from Ammoudi Bay in Oia at 14:00, you will have the chance to see the spectacular volcanic cliffs before visiting Therasia island for a first dive in the crystal clear waters and heading to the famous Volcano of Santorini for another swim with the stunning wild view of the volcanic scenery a few meters away. After, you will set sail for Akrotiri village, where you will admire its adorable Akrotiri lighthouse and an interesting rock formation on the caldera, called the Indian Rock.
The next stops are at Mesa Pigadia Beach, White Beach or Red Beach, depending on the weather conditions and the wind. Here, besides the tremendous landscapes, you can relax by the water or swim your worries away in addition to taking beautiful photos and use the snorkeling gear to discover underwater thrills. Most of all, you will indulge in a palatable meal in spectacular surroundings. After dinner, following the caldera coastline, you can take splendid photographs of the admirable old port of Fira, the hidden church of Seven Holy Youths and the bay of Armeni. Before the end of the cruise, get ready for the highlight of the tour – the captivating sunset of Santorini at the best spot, under the village of Oia– a mesmerizing spectacle to relish on board.
You will certainly have a blast and enjoy greatly the views, the landscapes, the swimming, the relaxation and, of course, the appetizing BBQ fresh Fish/Seafood meal.

Perfect afternoon/evening!
We spent 7ish hours on the Carpe Diem. The staff couldn’t have been more attentive and friendly. My girlfriend is 6 months pregnant and the crew regularly came to check on her and often helped her to move easily around the boat. The food was lovely and the view of the sunset was beyond compare. The crew also took some amazing pictures of us in front of sunset.

Incredible Trip!
Such a fantastic catamaran experience. The crew took excellent care of us the entire time, from bottomless drinks to swimming and snorkeling, to incredible views and an equally incredible meal; the entire experience was well organized, meticulous and thoughtfully executed end-to-end. Van picked us up near the hotel (customized for each passenger with individualized pickup times) and transported to/from the catamaran, making it incredibly easy. No waiting around; as the catamaran pulled in our driver was waiting to immediately shuttle us back to our drop off spots. Everyone involved, from the drivers to the catamaran crew were all incredibly gracious and dedicated to ensuring a memorable experience. Definitely the best tour event we experienced on Santorini!! Highly recommend.
