Santorini Boat Tour with RIB Boat (Morning & Sunset)
English · Deutsch · Français · Italiano · Español
€850 — private RIB trip · customizable route & duration · morning or afternoon · water-taxi service available
The Santorini RIB Boat Tour is the fast, flexible way to see the island: a private speedboat with a licensed crew for €850, with the route and timing customized to you. Use it as an island-hopping adventure, a beach tour — or an on-demand water taxi to where you need to be.
Some days call for sails; some days call for speed. The RIB reaches beaches and coves in minutes, hops between highlights while the big boats are still turning, and starts when you want it to — usually around 10:30 AM, but the schedule is yours.
It’s also our water-taxi workhorse: point-to-point rides around Santorini and private trips toward nearby islands, arranged on demand. Tell us where you want to go on WhatsApp and we’ll quote your route.
What’s included
- Round-trip transportation from your hotel to Vlychada Marina and back
- Freshly prepared meal on board: BBQ chicken, shrimp, pasta Napolitana, our specialty salad and Greek appetizers
- Santorini wine, cold beer, soft drinks and water
- Snorkeling equipment and towels
- Captain and crew who guide the tour in English and Greek
- Fuel, insurance and port authority fees — no hidden costs
The route: what you’ll see
No fixed route — popular ways our guests use the RIB:
- Caldera express — the volcano, Hot Springs and cliff-side chapels at speed
- Red Beach — with beach time at the coves the crowds can’t reach
- Thirasia Island — a quick hop across the caldera for lunch in the little harbor
- Water-taxi runs — point-to-point transfers around the island, on your schedule
- Nearby islands — ask us about private runs toward Ios, Thirasia and beyond
Good to know
- Dark swimwear for the Hot Springs. The volcanic waters contain sulfur, which can stain light fabrics — darker colors are the smart choice.
- Bring a light jacket. Santorini’s breeze picks up every once in a while, especially after sunset.
- Allergies or dietary needs? Tell us when you book and the crew will prepare accordingly.
- Timing shifts with the seasons. Departure times can change slightly through the year with the sun’s position — your exact pickup time is confirmed the day before.
- The boats anchor offshore. Cruises don’t include hiking on the volcano, and swimming stops happen from the boat in safe, beautiful spots.
