Overview

Board a luxury 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 meal including BBQ chicken, pan-fried fish fillets, shrimp, pasta with tomato and basil, and complimentary Greek wine, beer, and soft drinks provide the finishing touches, at a secluded bay of the Santorini lagoon.

Numbers are limited to a maximum of 18 guests plus crew, ensuring a relaxing and comfortable experience.

Awesome experience. Crew was amazing. No task too small for the captain. From driving the boat to washing dishing, it was a total team effort. The views were spectacular and the experience was everything that is described on the website. 5-star experience

This catamaran cruise was amazing! It was very convenient that they included pick up and drop off from the hotel. The staff was very friendly and welcoming and the service was outstanding. We stopped at 3 different locations and guests were allowed to go swim if they liked. We enjoyed swimming in the hot springs. We enjoyed local Santorini wine and an amazing Greek meal onboard. It was a relaxing and wonderful experience and one of the highlights of our trip.

It's worth the money but the food on board was disappointing. They say barbeque chicken but it was anything but that. Chicken was overdone and hard to chew. The drinks on board were to the point. Note that hot springs does not mean water is hot. IT IS COLD. So beware if planning. Captain and crew were welcoming and friendly. At the end the water got choppy. A few people got sick but crew took care. I personally thank the Australian couple who gave me anti nausea and a headache pill.

The crew was amazing! They prepared a fantastic meal on board. The famous sunset on the water was unbeatable. Swimming in the warm springs of the volcano was unforgettable. The pick-up and drop off was seamless and in a luxury van. Top notch all around. Highly recommend! Perfect cruise.

Fantastic experience to have while in Santorini! We sailed with the wonderful team of Nadia, Greg and Tasso on the Seven Seas. They are so organized and extremely nice, attentive and just awesome! Not only we got to see the beauty of this area, we also had information about the islands, culture as we cruised the seas. Three spots for swimming while on this tour, ample time to enjoy everything. Food was delicious, they cooked it fresh on the boat for us. Very clean , very safe, the entire experience was absolutely excellent, captain Tasso, Greg and Nadia are the BEST! I would say it’s the number one activity here especially when you have the number one team to make it possible! Thank you for a memorable day!

By far, this was the best tour we’ve taken during our entire trip to Greece! The Santorini luxury cruise was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The staff was amazing—so friendly, accommodating, and attentive to every detail. The swim stops at the crystal-clear waters were breathtaking, and the sunset view from the boat was simply magical. The full Greek meal they served onboard was delicious and truly enhanced the experience. We saw all the famous beaches - red beach, black beach, & white beach without having to leave the boat and climb down stairs and travel huge distances. Water in mid-Oct was great temp for swimming! This cruise exceeded all our expectations, and we highly recommend it to anyone visiting Santorini! An unforgettable!
