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

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.”

“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!”

Then how did I process the reservation and get a confirmation?!?! Giving me no time to rebook with anyone else because they were all full. Horrible unprofessional company. You didn’t even take the time to call. Just sent a email. Horrible don’t book with this company. You are taking a risky chance it completely ruined our entire day. Our day was planned around that excursion”

Sail from Playa Tortugas to Isla Mujeres aboard a private catamaran for up to 14 people. You’ll snorkel near El Meco, explore the island, and enjoy an open bar on the return. The crew can tailor the day, though food, port fees, and comfortable seating require attention.

“I will start by saying that the experience was fun, but being put under pressure to write a good review for a trip advisor, prior to leaving the excursion, left a very sour taste in our mouths. To start with, the boat is just ok. It’s not anything great. There is not much seating other than the net. The seating that is available, is not very comfortable. I would not recommend this for older adults or anyone with any kind of mobility issues. We chose the option to get food included with the tour. This really just involved getting walked to a restaurant on Isla Mujeres that had a buffet.…”
