Private Catamaran Charters in Santorini: Our Top 4

1.Half-Day Exclusive Catamaran Cruise in Santorini with Meal and Open Bar

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,975 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $133Our pick

Join a small group of up to 18 people aboard a Santorini Star Sailing catamaran. Swim at Red Beach, the volcano hot springs, and Thirassia, while crew members such as Giannis, Alex, Natalie, Mika, and Kostas serve an onboard meal, wine, beer, and local drinks.

“The day was beautiful. The pick up and drop off was seamless. The crew was attentive and knowledgeable. The food was plentiful. The music was a bit loud and off point for the crowd on this particular trip however. The trip was fun but the sunset was a bit underwhelming since the back of the boat was facing the sunset limiting everyone from enjoying it and there are hundreds of boats in the same spot; one pulled right in front of us blocking the sunset. Not sure the sunset cruise is the way to enjoy the Santorini sunset but overall a relaxing day on the water.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 476 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $665

You’ll sail from Vlychada with a private crew, stopping at Red Beach, White Beach or Mesa Pigadia, Palea Kameni, and the volcano. Expect swimming, snorkeling, a generous BBQ, beer, wine, soft drinks, and hotel transfers. Sunset departures add an Aegean finale.

“Our family of four had an incredible experience on our catamaran cruise yesterday! The staff was so fun and professional - they told us about all the parts of the island we were passing, were attentive to all our needs with food, beverages, towels, moving about the boat, delicious lunch preparation, snorkeling gear, etc. Because we had a private tour, our captain was able to take us further to an island with crystal clear waters where we snorkeled and had a quiet and more private experience. We highly recommend this excursion!”

“This catamaran tour was one of our favorite parts of our visit to Greece. We had planned a sunset tour but it got windy that day. The tour company kept in contact with us and eventually suggested we might be more comfortable with a morning tour the next day. The evening we were supposed to go out got extremely windy so we were grateful for their recommendation and saw the sunset elsewhere. Our morning tour was fantastic. Our transportation convenient and friendly and the crew on the boat amazing. We felt very spoiled and had a huge delicious meal made for us. I highly recommend this tour and would do…”
