The food was good, we could request as much to drink as we wanted but I was happy to see that there were no inebriated guests..all were very respectful. We stopped 3 times to swim (very briefly but we did) and snorkelled a bit once. We would highly recommend this trip.”

“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.”

“The boat was nice and the dinner was plentiful. However, this is definitely a very tourist focused experience with as many people crammed onto the boat as they can get, so just be prepared. The stops were very short except for the dinner stop, so if you want to swim, jump in as soon as the boat stops or you will barely get time in the water. The water is very “refreshing”, so not a lot of time in the water was not the worst thing. The crew was very friendly and on top of offering everyone drinks throughout the cruise which was nice - do not recommend the ONE…”
