- Susanta R.5 Jun 2026 5.0Fantastic family private boat tuor experience with S/Y Panorama
On 25th May 2026, we had family private boat tour with foods, drinks with S/Y Panorama. Our captain was "Kostas" and Crew was "Xrysa". It was a lovely 5 hours private boat trip with Kostas and Xrysa. We had view of Red beach, Black beach, Akrotiri Light house, Fira, Nea Kameini, Oia and mindblowing sunset from sea. The captain and crew boith were very much informative about the Island. Always we saw them smiling. Food and drinks were plenty and very good. Xrysa prepared prawn from home and rice and both were so good still we remember the taste. All grilled meats were hot from oven along with wine a complete day out. We shall remember this trip for ages. This is the best trip we had in Santorini. We shall highly recommend this trip with Kostas and Xrysa. , A great experience!, Excellent!, Well organized!, Wonderful experience!, A must do!, Our guide was awesome!
- Hareesh N.2 Sep 2025 5.0Really good service
Chartered a private boat trip for 2 with Caldera Yachting. Felt super premium starting with the pick up. Captain Constantinos and his aide Corina were good company. The boat, Ocean King, was in good condition. We didn’t actually hoist sails because wind was light, so it was all motor boating, but they can’t create wind. It was a nice sunny day in exchange. The food was excellent - chicken, prawns, pasta, fava beans, yummy. Caldera yachting were really service focused, so would recommend them highly for anybody who wants to be on the water. Don’t miss the sunset option!
