About this activity
Your luxurious catamaran tour of Santorini begins on land. You’ll be driven down to the port of Vlychada on the island’s southern coast. Embark at 10:30am if you’ve registered for the Daytime tour, or at 3:30 p.m. for the Sunset tour. Either way, five hours charting the turquoise Aegean Sea await you.
Setting sail from the southern port of Vlihada and following the coastline, you reach the red beach in Akrotiri, one of the most beautiful beaches of the island with a distinct red coloration caused by the rich in minerals and iron soil. Then, you will head to the white rocky beach, where you have access only by boat. Leaving the white beach and heading to the Venetian lighthouse, you sail below the Indian Rocks through caves and rock formations, characteristic to the Aegean landscape. After sailing below the lighthouse the yacht will turn and enter the caldera of Santorini. There you will see everything opening in front of your eyes. The picturesque white houses hanging from the cliffs like grapes, the cliff formations and the volcanic islands of Palea and Nea Kammeni. There you will have the chance to sail bellow the traditional villages of Fira and Imerovigli and the overwhelming rock formations consisted of basalt and pumice. From there you will head to the crater of the volcano, you will sail around it to have a full view of it and stop at the thermal springs for swimming at the sulfurous waters, that offer a natural spa.
Palea Kammeni, an inhabitant volcanic island next to the volcano, offers unique private bays and beaches, ideal for swimming and snorkeling, perfect to enjoy your own privacy away from crowded locations. As you enjoy yourself the attentive crew will prepare freshly on board a delicious meal consisted of meat variety on barbecue, Greek salads and appetizers, accompanied with local wine and cooling beverages.
The tour concludes after you disembark at Vlychada Marina.

We thoroughly enjoyed this Sunset cruise. Our crew was fabulous, especially Coopi and made everybody feel like a big family for the evening. He was extremely knowledgeable and very personable:) The food was very good and the wine always being poured. We would definitely recommend this Sunset cruise, definitely a must:)
My daughter and I had a wonderful time on the cruise. The boat staff was terrific. Loved jumping in the water to cool off. The food was very good, too. Would recommend this cruise if you want a fun day on the water.
The crew, vessel, food and itinerary were all first-rate. When you start off on a beautiful Greek island, it's hard to reach higher, but this was definitely THE vacation highlight. From the pickup to the drop-off, we were treated as VIPs in a setting only VIPs could get used to. A+.
This catamaran sunset cruise is a must if you are in Santorini! The trip takes you to various interesting locations on the island in just a few hours! Nikolas on the Caldera II boat made our trip even more memorable through his joyful character! The delicious buffet is served after some dips in the Aegian Sea. The trip finally ends with viewing the sunset - romantic indeed!
Brand new catamaran with not too many people on. They care about the comfort rather than the number. The crew are super great in every sense. Very helpful, knowledgeable and funny. They take to the must see in santorini and they give a very precise and interesting history about what you are seeing. The time allocated for the swims was great and the food was amazing. Don’t choose any other company for there were many catamaran around and those run by the company were the newest and had the best equipment and probably the best crew but that I couldn’t know for wasn’t on their catamaran.
Out hotel wasn’t accessible by car but we were contacted by the staff with a direct pickup point immediately after booking. We had Pablo as our Cruise host along with Captain Leo and Crew. They couldn’t have been better! Coming from a service background you could tell it was put together very well. The lunch buffet exceeded my expectations of lunch on a boat... very good. Learned fun facts throughout the trip even on the rides to and from our hotel. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for an amazing day of fun!
I would recommend anyone considering a sailing trip around Santorini to book this trip. The guides are first class and very informative of the history of the Caldera. Our captain was called Stavros who was excellent. He was very caring when my wife started feeling sea sick and helped her overcome this. We stopped in the hot springs and two further swimming stops, in between lunch was served which was delicious. The Catamaran was luxurious, our family all thought this was the highlight of our holiday.
Great cruise with a fantastic team looking after us! Such a good decision to take the semi-private cruise option - we had 16 on our cruise (our family was 6 of those!) - most other boats seemed to have 100 or so jammed on board! We had loads of time at each swim/snorkel stop and the captain carefully picked stops where there weren’t many other boats. Lunch was delicious with loads there for those that wanted seconds! Thoroughly recommend!
Amazing trip and amazing, welcoming staff! could not recommend enough. My wife got a little sick and the staff took amazing care of her and genuinely wanted her to feel better. she wants to do the trip again! every spot we went to was incredibly beautiful, highlight of our trip!
Kostas, Nokolas and Angela gave us a great day on the water in a beautiful area. The company worked with us to help us get on the excursion when our ship was late docking. The scenery, the food, the service and the information provided was outstanding. There were 15 of us on board and the crew gave us the very best service humanly possible. Cannot recommend this excursion enough. Do this excursion and you will not regret it.
One of the highlights for our trip and so much fun! The food the company and of course swimming spots were on point. If you can do sunset as we wish we had done it!
The half day sunset cruise was one of the highlights of our trip in Santorini. Our crew on the boat "happy day" was very hospitable. There were only around 12-13 of us on the boat and it felt very spacious and relaxing. Food quality was also pretty decent and the availability of drinks aboard made for a good experience. The sunset ending is simply the best on the island and a truly memorable experience, even more so than Oia.
Was a nice ride on the sunset catamaran where we got to see all the beautiful sights and the staff were great and friendly! Wonderful experience!
This was our only excursions in Santorini and seriously, one of the best days we had there! The crew on the "Bonita" was fabulous and the food was great. My only suggestion would be to stock more wine - it ran out toward the end of the trip. I highly recommend Spiradokos Sailing Cruises for a half-day sunset cruise. The boat was so clean and the sunset was beautiful!
We were on the Santana Boat with Captain Mario and crew Joanna, Jawel, Elisso, and Isidoroj. Everyone was so nice and made the trip a lot of fun. They always ensured we had what we needed including making sure our wine glasses were always full. The meal was great.
The staff on this tour was excellent and so helpful. The programme choice was really good and the crew, especially Theodore (I think that’s his name) was fabulous. Everyone should definitely do this, even if you don’t swim though I actually do recommend the open sea Swimming. A little cold but in the end, not too bad, even for a girl from Singapore.
We loved the ride, the sun, the down time while we sailed from one location to another. The crew was very helpful and attentive. Would recommend this cruise to anyone heading to Santorini.
This is a must do in santorini! The crew of the Santanna made it a memorable experience! Thank you Cpt. Mario, Joanna, Jowel, and especially Pablo, the life of the party!
had a great time. staff was great,,knowledgeable and friendly. food was great too. Windy day made the adventure all the more fun.
It was an amazing cruise, with some stops to swim and snorkel in the emerald clear sea not that there is much to see underwater though. Lyana, Captain Mohammed, and the rest of the crew made the cruise more amazing. They were very attentive and could remember all our names. Our plastic cups were never empty. The food was great -- I ate more than I should. To top it off, during the cruise back and the end of the trip, Lyana did I spell your name right? grabbed a guitar and sang beautiful songs. It couldn't be more perfect than that. One guy also worth mentioning: Gorilla, the nickname of our driver, was also fun, talkative, and entertaining. When he was driving us to the Amoudi Bay, we talked about many things including Game of Thrones. : Spiridakos for the win!
Leonidas Spiridakos Sailing Cruise was the Best experience on the island! My husband and I would do it again in a heart beat. The crew on "Bonita Boat" was very energetic and fun and of course catered to our every need. Shout out to Captain Giannis and his crew Corina, Nobi and Eddi!! Perfect amount of time to cruise and stop at most of the major attractions like the hot springs, red and white beaches. And you just can't get views of the island from anywhere else. Food was great and the boat was spotlessly clean. They provided everything we needed for an unforgettable afternoon.
We had a wonderful time on this cruise! The crew was great and the lunch was amazing! It was better than most we had on the island. My only suggestion is to make sure you will be leaving from a place near your hotel. We were staying in Oia, and when their driver picked us up, we were surprised to have a 45 minute ride to the boat.
We had a great experience on our boat tour! Maximus, Olga, and the rest of the crew were amazing!! All the other guests on the boat were very friendly as well! Recommend this to anyone!
