We had the most amazing time on Spiridakos for the sunset cruise. I saw so many other Spiridakos boats out on the water, and afterwards I knew why. From the start, they pick you up right from your hotel, which after trying to navigate anywhere in Santorini you'll be absolutely greatful for. Once you get to the dock, they greet you warmly and welcome you aboard. For our boat there was a max of 20 guests (we had 17), and it was the perfect amount of people. Everyone had enough room to lounge and enjoy the boat between stops. Getting to jump off into the Agean Sea was wonderful if a bit cold in late May. The crew told us small bits of history of the island and the composition of the rocks we saw. One of the crew said she had only been doing tours for a month, but we couldn't tell with how great she was. The dinner for the premium cruise was great with a nice variety of food. I really enjoyed the grilled chicken. The variety on our cruise for drinks was beer, wine, coke, orange Fanta, sprite, white wine, and water. Captain John really made the trip special. As the sun went down, he played fun music and started Greek dancing. We all clapped along, and we all ended up dancing. We ended up sailing close to another Spiridakos boat and started having a dance off with them and their captain. We got a magnificent view of the sunset, and I would definitely do it over the daytime cruise just for that alone. As for the difference if you're between the premium and the standard cruise, you can't go wrong with either. The Thirasia stop, the beer, and the extra meats was the main difference I believe. We were more than happy with the premium, but you won't go wrong with the standard as well. Overall we had a fantastic time and of all the things you can do in Santorini this is a must do! , Excellent!
