What you can expect?
Get ready for an unforgettable afternoon at sea with this luxurious small-group sailing experience around Santorini. Your journey begins with a convenient hotel pick-up, followed by a drive to the southern marina of Vlychada, where your elegant catamaran awaits.
Set sail along Santorini’s striking southern coastline, passing by the dramatic landscapes of the Red Beach and the chalky cliffs of White Beach. Enjoy a refreshing dip or try snorkeling in the crystalline Aegean waters.
Next, glide into the heart of the island’s volcanic caldera, a breathtaking natural wonder shaped by ancient eruptions. Cruise past the lava islets and, if you’d like, take a swim near the volcano’s warm springs, where geothermal activity heats the mineral-rich waters.
The voyage continues with a peaceful anchor stop in a secluded cove within the caldera. While you relax and swim in the sheltered bay, the crew will prepare a generous Greek dinner onboard, featuring local specialties like grilled meats and seafood, fresh salads, traditional spreads, and pasta dishes.
As golden hour approaches, enjoy a chilled drink and sail northward toward the postcard-worthy village of Oia. Take in sweeping views of the town’s iconic whitewashed houses and the colorful cliffs of Ammoudi Bay, all bathed in the warm glow of the setting sun.
With a maximum of 20 guests on board, this cruise offers an intimate and relaxed atmosphere aboard a premium catamaran. After sunset, you’ll be comfortably returned to your hotel, filled with the magic of Santorini by sea.
