À propos de cette expérience
A private cruise in Santorini is an ideal way to enjoy the island’s spectacular coastline in complete privacy and comfort , whether you are travelling as a couple, with family, or with a small group of friends. Spend quality time at sea, swim in crystal-clear waters, admire the volcanic landscape, and enjoy a delicious meal on board, all at your own pace and away from the crowds. With a private yacht and a dedicated crew, you can enjoy a more personal and hassle-free way to discover Santorini from the sea.
There are several options to choose from depending on how much time you would like to spend at sea. The 3-hour Private Day Cruise and 3-hour Private Sunset Cruise are ideal for a shorter experience, while the 5-hour Private Day Cruise and 5-hour Private Sunset Cruise offer a more complete itinerary. For those who want to spend a full day exploring the island, the Full-Day Private Cruise in Santorini combines swimming, sightseeing, and extended time at sea. Alternatively, you can opt for the Full-Day Private Cruise to Ios , a tailor-made 9-hour experience that takes you beyond Santorini to discover the beautiful beaches and coves of Ios.
Depending on the cruise you choose, you will have the opportunity to discover some of Santorini’s most impressive coastal highlights. The
The main difference between the cruise options is the duration and time of departure . The 3-hour cruises are perfect if you are looking for a shorter private experience, while the 5-hour cruises allow more time for swimming, sightseeing, and also include a delicious BBQ meal served on board. You can choose between a daytime cruise, ideal for spending more time swimming and enjoying the sea, or a sunset cruise, which combines the cruise experience with the spectacular Santorini sunset. The Full-Day Santorini Cruise is the best choice if you want to explore more of the island’s coastline at a relaxed pace, while the Full-Day Ios Cruise is the most extensive option and is perfect for those looking for a special and completely different day trip.

My husband and I had a wonderful experience from the moment we got on the boat until the second we got off! Athena and Chris were amazing!! They really made the day so special! We did the sunset cruise and I couldn’t recommend it more! The food that they prepared was outstanding!! The best we had in all our 10 day trip to Greece! Everything was organic and Athena made her own wine and a lot of the fruits and vegetables from her garden! So many special details throughout the day!! Wonderful experience!! Highly recommend!!
