About this activity

Board a modern catamaran yacht and cruise along the caldera cliffs of Santorini for a top-notch experience on the water, cruising towards the Red and White beaches, trying your hand at swimming at the warm springs of the volcano, and enjoying a full Greek meal with drinks prepared on board. Take in stunning views of the caldera as you glide through the shimmering waters of the Aegean Sea. Cruise towards the Red Beach and White or Mesa Pigadia beaches and swim at the warm volcanic springs where parts of the water are warmer due to the volcanic activity that exists for centuries on the island. A delicious fresh lunch including BBQ chicken, pan-fried fish fillets, and complimentary Greek wine and beer provide the finishing touches, at a secluded bay of the Santorini lagoon. Numbers are limited to a maximum of 20 guests onboard plus crew, ensuring a relaxing and comfortable experience.

An experience not to be missed!

A day like this is what dreams are made of. Impressive boat and so clean, crew was so courteous, friendly with an eye detail, you wanted for nothing. The best way to see the Aegean Sea and jump in, swim, see all different beaches. Dinner was spectacular as was the sunset. You will only regret not taking this excursion.

A MUST!!

Totally lived up to the hype! The crew was amazing, the views were spectacular, and the boat was very well appointed! It’s a great way to see the island and get to experience several things that you wouldn’t otherwise! I would absolutely recommend using this group to experience the catamaran adventure… would 10/10 do it again!

Relaxing cruise, cramped transport to boat

I would’ve given this five stars - the cruise, food, captain and crew were fabulous and deserved 5+ stars - but it loses a star for cramming 16 people plus a driver into Sprinter van. The drivers were very polite and helpful but our knees were jammed into the hard backed seat in front of us (we are 6’1” and 5’8” tall) and hurt because the drive is 40 mins from Oía (20 mins from Fira) on roads with multiple turns and curves as well as many stops to pick up guests. The cruise left from Vychada port at south end of Santorini island. On the catamaran, Captain Leo piloted the boat and Alex provided great information about the geology and history of the area around the island and caldera. The boat was just big enough for 16 people plus captain and two crew. There were two bathrooms with bedrooms if you wanted to change clothes. Captain Leo had a great music mix! The woman who gave instructions at start of boat tour was nice but with the noise from the boat, music and her accent when speaking English, it was hard to understand. Our first stop was at Red Beach for 20 mins of swimming - cold water. Then we sailed into the caldera to the “hot springs” for 20 mins of swimming. Hot is a misnomer - it was cold then warm-ish. It was near a small church which was said to be 500 years old. We then steamed back over the way we came but sailed close to the black rocks which was amazingly beautiful. Such a treat! We then anchored near the starting point in a cove with 18 other catamarans for 15 mins of swimming then 45 mins for lunch. They served breaded fried fish, grilled chicken with lemon, large prawns/shrimp, spaghetti with tomato sauce, bread, Greek salad (tomatoes, cucumber, red onion), taziki sauce. It was all very good. Afterwards many people laid in the sun sleeping. It was incredibly relaxing! Finally we motored back to the port for our cramped ride back to the hotel.
