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:

  1. Caldera express — the volcano, Hot Springs and cliff-side chapels at speed
  2. Red Beach — with beach time at the coves the crowds can’t reach
  3. Thirasia Island — a quick hop across the caldera for lunch in the little harbor
  4. Water-taxi runs — point-to-point transfers around the island, on your schedule
  5. 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.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if the weather is bad?

Safety comes first: the captain can modify the route or cancel the cruise if conditions are not appropriate. If your cruise is canceled for weather, we contact you right away to rearrange. Full details are in our Terms & Conditions.

How long is the trip?

As long as you need — the RIB trip is customizable. Tell us what you want to see or where you need to go and we’ll shape the timing around it.

Is the boat really just for us?

Yes — this is a fully private charter. It’s your group, the captain and the crew, and a route we can shape around what you want to see.

What is included in the price?

A private RIB with licensed captain and crew, fuel, insurance, port fees, snorkeling gear, towels and bottled water. The route and schedule are planned with you.

What should I bring?

Swimwear (dark colors for the Hot Springs), a towel if you prefer your own, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a light jacket for the breeze. Everything else is on board.

How do I book and pay?

Message us on WhatsApp or use the contact page — we’ll confirm your date, plan the details together, and arrange payment directly with you.

We had an absolutely amazing experience with Sirigos Sailing Team! We booked a 5-hour private sunset cruise for a very special personal surprise, and the team went above and beyond from the very beginning. Even though our preferred date was originally fully booked, they kindly made arrangements to accommodate us, which we really appreciated. On the day of the cruise, everything was perfectly organized. The pickup was right on time, all of the crew members were incredibly friendly and supportive, and they made sure everything went smoothly throughout the entire experience. The food on board was also delicious, and enjoying it while cruising around Santorini made the evening even more special. We also had Alex as our photographer, and he was fantastic. He made us feel comfortable throughout the cruise and captured some truly beautiful moments and photos that we will treasure for a long time. A huge thank you to the entire team for helping make such an important and memorable day so special. If you are looking for a private sunset cruise in Santorini, I would highly recommend Sirigos Sailing Team!

My daughter and I did the sunset cruise. From pick up to drop off everything was spot on. The staff on the boat were great fun. Constantly asking us if we wanted drinks throughout the trip. The fresh cooked chicken and prawns were amazing with pasta and fresh Greek salad. All staff had great manners and were always informative on the trip. One in particular George, so good will share one small clip at the bay of Fira. I booked on line before I travelled and the communication was great. Don’t look at others Sirigos was a great price for a really good trip.

La experiencia ha sido increíble, la recogida, el viaje, las explicaciones, los paisajes, el equipo todo. El equipo era muy amable y simpático, pese a no hablar español entablaban conversaciones con nosotros que somos españoles. La comida muy buena y muy amable atención. Millones de gracias por la mejor experiencia en Santorini.
