5.00We had a sunset sail with Chris and Amelia and they were the absolute best hosts! They were fun, attentive, informative, and just flat out the best at everything! If you want to get out on the water in Santorini, ask for them! Thank you for making our day a special kind of memory that will be impossible to recreate.
Amazing experience

The Only Way to Truly See Santorini

5.00My husband and I went sailing with Captain Ted himself 18 years ago. We brought our teenage sons to Greece with us this time and wanted them to have the experience. We were so happy to see that Captain Ted is still operating and thriving. We did a private tour on the Dream Catcher. Transfers were seamless. Our crew, Adonis, Lou and Victoria, were very nice. Lou gave us great information about the island and was very personable. The cruise was smooth and the food was great. We liked the swimming spots. The island seems more beautiful than before. A great way to spend a day in Santorini.

5.00A wonderful and fun morning/afternoon sailing the caldera with a lovely crew! Lu, Amelia and the captain went above and beyond making sure everyone onboard was comfortable, well fed and having a great time. Lunch and drinks was fresh, delicious, and plentiful. The catamaran was super spacious and I never felt crowded. I highly recommend Santorini Sailing and would definitely book this again if/when I return to Santorini. Thank you for a most memorable and excellent experience!
A must-do.

4.00We had a pleasant time, enjoying the wind to set the sails. Thank you to Amelia for her explanations in French 😜. This outing allowed us to see the beaches that are inaccessible by land. Good experience, I recommend it. The only point to review is our driver on the way back to our hotel, who spent the entire trip on his phone while driving 😳😠.
