Our Guests on the Water

Our guests, in their own words and their own photos. Ten reviews quoted exactly as they were written, and the moments they describe: the deck, the swim stops, the golden hour and the celebrations.

This page is the simplest answer to “what is it actually like?”. The photos are ours, taken on the boats and at the swim stops; the reviews are reproduced word for word, with the reviewer’s name and where it was posted, and every one links to the full list on Google. Nothing here is staged for the website: the food on the table is the lunch the crew cooks every day, the water is the water, and the sunset is the one the afternoon cruises are timed for. Tap any photo to see it large.

If a photo makes you want a particular kind of day, the three-question chooser points you to the right cruise with its price, and the route maps show where each picture was taken along the way.

On deck

The boat is where the day happens: the bow net, the side decks, the cockpit table where lunch or dinner is served while the catamaran lies at anchor. Guests spread out, and the crew moves around them.

What guests wrote

“Absolutely top tier experience. I’ve been on a number of boat charters and this one was the best. Excellent crew, excellent food, and excellent company! I can not recommend this place enough.”

“Love it! Great crew, small group sailing trip on their catamaran around Santorini, with stops to swim and eat gyros prepared on the boat. Couldn’t have enjoyed them more!! Highly recommended…”

In the water

Every cruise stops to swim. The ladder goes down at the stern, the noodles and snorkel masks come out, and the water around the south coast and the caldera is as clear as it looks here.

What guests wrote

“Really friendly service and we loved exploring the island! Felt well taken care of and made some great memories. Bring lots of sunscreen!”

“I just had the most incredible boat tour experience in Santorini! From the moment we set sail, the views were absolutely breathtaking. The crew was so attentive, ensuring every moment was filled with comfort and enjoyment. We explored hidden coves, swam in the crystal-clear waters, and witnessed a mesmerizing sunset against the backdrop of the island’s iconic cliffs.”

Golden hour

The afternoon cruises are timed so the last leg runs into the sunset. The light goes from white to gold to amber, dinner is served, and the deck gets quiet.

What guests wrote

“Amazing sunset catamaran cruise! Everyone was overwhelming us from the first minute we got in the vessel. Smooth ride to all the iconic beaches across the island… I definitely highly recommend it and next time I will visit the island I will have the day cruise as well…”

“Lovely afternoon/evening. Friendly crew fed us well. Thank you”

Celebrations

Proposals, weddings and the parties around them happen on the same decks, with the crew in on the plan. These are the moments guests bring us most often.

What guests wrote

“Fantastic🤩. Worth all the money. Our best experience at Santorini.”

“Absolutely unforgettable experience sailing around Santorini! The crew was incredibly knowledgeable and made us feel like VIPs from start to finish. The views were breathtaking, the food was divine, and every moment on board felt like a dream.”
