Complete your summer vacations on Santorini with the most fascinating experience of your life, a Private Catamaran Cruise! It will be something to remember!

This Private Catamaran Cruise will take you to places of unique beauty on Santorini and fill you with beautiful moments with your family or group of friends. From the moment you step onboard this luxurious Catamaran boat, the feeling of freedom will overwhelm you and a sense of calmness will make you leave all the problems behind!

Choose among the Private 5-hour Day Cruise, the 5-hour Sunset Cruise, or the 9-hour Full-Day cruise, and enjoy every minute! Let the journey begin starting from Vlychada port, at the south part of the island, and keep sailing until you reach the famous Red beach. Marvel at the amazing view of the reddish high cliffs from the coziness of your Catamaran or take a nice swim and enjoy the clear blue waters, before continuing your trip to the beautiful White beach. The wild beauty of the scenery there will surely captivate you!

As the cruise continues, you will have the chance to pass by Mesa Pigadia beach, as well as set eyes at the huge Indian Rock formations and the Akrotiri Lighthouse, which is located on the top of the Caldera cliffs. It’s a building of unique history and beauty that stands still on the mountain and is a perfect addition to the stunning landscape. Next, reach the impressive Volcano of Santorini and feel the wild volcanic atmosphere up-close, or swim at the extraordinary Hot Springs around it and get to enjoy a natural spa full of sulfur waters. It's totally worth it!

Choose the Sunset option and end the trip with a spectacle that will surely amaze you, the breathtaking sunset of Santorini! Watch the beautiful colors that the sky is taking, as the sun is diving into the sea, from the best spot in the Caldera. If you wish to spend more time at the sea, the 9-hour Full-Day cruise is the ideal choice for you! You will have the chance to spend the day in the most beautiful places, along with the company of your loved ones, and have a wonderful time. Feel free to also adjust your itinerary and stay longer at the places that you will like most!

An exciting feature of the tour is that drone coverage is offered if the weather conditions are supportive, so get ready to have all your special fun moments captured in a video that will be sent to you for free! In addition, for the water sports lovers, there is a professional Stand Up Paddle on board, available for use.

All the tour options include a delicious lunch or dinner, prepared on the boat with the best local ingredients, along with a delicious dessert, fresh fruit, and unlimited local wine, beers, and beverages. Moreover, transportation from/to your hotel is included.

Embark on this Private Catamaran Cruise and live an experience that you will remember forever!

Absolutely Amazing, Would Highly Recommend

We had the best boat ride ever with Santorini view. I did a lot of research and I am so glad that I picked the company that I did. Everything about it was impeccable. They sent a map to our pick up location, even though it was literally within view of our hotel room. Then they arrived early to pick us up and having a shuttle pick you up rather than having to arrange your own transportation was very nice. The boat was amazing and the captain and crew were just great. They were so so nice and they took great care of us. The food was delicious. They had wine and beer for us. They even took a drone video of part of our day which I expected them to try to sell us separately, but they included it for free! It was just a really great day. We had 11 people, and we all fit comfortably and every single one of us agreed it was spectacular. Thank you so much Santorini view!, A must do!

Great ride, terrible food

We had a private group cruise and the cruise itself was great. The crew were knowledgeable and nice. However, when it came time for dinner the food was really bad. The dishes were plain with little flavor and dishes that were supposed to be warm were served cold. I would choose another company in the future due to the poor food on this cruise.

Fantastic sunset cruise!

Costas and Hassan were gracious, informative, and made a wonderful meal for us. The catamaran was beautiful and clean. The views of the Caldera are unmatched. It was actually a great value for the four of us, and I would do it again in a heartbeat
