Grigoris and Angelique crushed it!!! Playlist, vibes, service all top notch Sunset cruise was amazing have traveled the world and this team was amazing!! Put it on to do list in Santorini
- Patricia H.30 Jul 2024 5.0Out favorite experience on Santorini!
Truly, we are so thankful for this experience with Gregory & Irene aboard SAINT in Santorini. With a limited number of days on the island, we thought about canceling... but very happy we didn't make that mistake. Firstly, SAINT is a beautiful catamaran and the ride is smooth in any conditions. Secondly, our hosts were so attentive, gracious, and knowledgeable. Thirdly, from the water is the best place to view all of the Santorini caldron islands and sights. This all said, I must say that our 2 favorite portions were the fabulous lunch experience and cliff jumping. Don't miss this opportunity!, Wonderful experience!
- Joseph W.17 Jul 2024 5.0Once in a lifetime! Incredible!
A truly amazing experience from start to finish! Private driver picked us up from our hotel and took us to ammoudi bay where we were picked up by a private yacht! Once onboard Grigoris and his crew member (I’ve forgotten her name) were extremely professional and went above and beyond to ensure we had the best time! They took us to the most amazing places around the caldera and were very knowledgable! We then had an outstanding meal on a private island and felt like a celebrity the whole time! We finally watched the most amazing sunset where the sun set into the sea! Was truely remarkable and once in a life experience! Cannot thank you and recommend them enough!
- MARY T.15 Jul 2024 5.0WOW! WOW! WOW!
Where do we start? This was the highlight of our santorini trip.. Gregory our skipper and Irene are AMAZING 👏 very knowledgeable, lots of fun nothing was an issue and totally understood our needs without us even having to ask. The snake on board to the dinner was just perfect. No better way to watch Santorini's magical sunset. From start to finish this event is organised so well and honestly makes it one of the most memorable moments you won't forget. Btw the boat is spectacular 👌 , A great experience!, Our guide was awesome!
