Took my mom and my girlfriend on this catamaran trip and wow, just wow. We had THE best time! The crew was chill, not pushy, and super friendly (shoutout to Kostas, who let us play our own playlist when the boat was quieter). Food was honestly better than I expected – the grilled chicken tasted fresh, and the salad was crunchy, not soggy like some tours. We swam in the hot springs (not actually HOT, more like warm-ish) and the water by Red Beach is sooooo blue. The boat never felt too packed even though it was a mix of families and couples. Sunset was beautiful, but bring a jacket – wind gets sneaky cold. Only downer: if you get seasick, ask for gum or something. My mom felt woozy for a bit, but the staff handled it like pros. Def worth booking if you want a chilled day.

Best boat trip I’ve been on in years. The crew knew so much about the island (they even pointed out where the volcano erupted lol). Lunch was surprisingly good – shoutout to the chef for the cookies! We met another couple on board and danced a bit after swimming. Pro tip: don’t wear white to the hot springs unless you want orange stains. Wish the swim stops were longer but otherwise EPIC day.

Went with my partner for the sunset cruise and it was just magical! The colors over the caldera, wow. The crew made us feel like VIPs, honestly. Drinks kept coming, and they remembered I was veggie and had a separate meal ready. Boat was super clean and not too crowded. Would do again in a heartbeat. Only weird bit: you can’t sit on the front net while moving, but once we stopped, best seat to watch the sunset.

Ok, hands down, best part of our Santorini trip. Took the morning cruise with three friends, all of us just wanted to chill and take pics. Crew was hilarious – even photobombed a couple of our shots. Food was legit, and the wine flowed. Hot springs were a bit of a letdown (not hot!) but the vibes made up for it. Would go again for sure. If you’re on the fence, DO IT.

What to bring

Bring along your towels, warm dry clothes, sunglasses, sunscreen, and sunhat. Dark color swimwear is recommended since iron and sulfur from the hot springs can stain light-colored clothing.

Have a photo of their passport or ID card ready for a seamless experience

Additional information

Please provide the name of your hotel and contact details (yours or your host's). One day before the cruise, you will receive the pickup confirmation.

Please note, that you may have to remove your shoes before embarkation.

Catamarans/yachts keep a distance of 50 meters from the warm sulfuric water of the Hot Springs bay. The temperature in the Hot Springs area is up to 4°C warmer than the open water. You can swim securely close to the volcano.

The tour duration is not the same throughout the season, especially the sunset cruise. During June, the tour lasts about 6 hours (daylight is longer), while in October it is about 4.5 hours.

The BBQ menu includes Greek salad, grilled chicken or pork skewers, roasted vegetables, and stuffed vine leaves.

To ensure a smooth sailing experience, the cruise may alter its itinerary and ports of call if venturing outside the Caldera becomes unsafe.

For the well-being of all passengers, the tour may be altered or postponed due to inclement weather, mechanical concerns, or other unforeseen circumstances.
