Let us know what time the tender starts and gets back to your cruise ship. We need to make sure that you have enough time to return.

Catamaran Cruise

5.00Great way to see the different island formations. The crew was fabulous — knowledgeable and funny, but always put safety first. Delicious meal on board also. They provide blankets for the latter part of the cruise as watching the sunset can get chilly on the water. Definitely recommend.
Nice day in the sea but block your ears from Billy

Perfect Santorini Adventure

5.00Went on the daytime cruise in very windy conditions and was concerned about motion sickness for my wife. The route we took was downwind the entire day and no one had any motion issues. One of the pleasant highlights (besides all the interesting coves we stopped) was the crew. We were on the boat Santana and Captian Leo, Nadia, Angelo and especially Jehovah made the day comfortable and fun. They always seemed to be there with a towel, beer or advice. Jehovah was informative, engaging and treated us like friends. We had 14 of us on board (5 couples and a family) a 45 foot catamaran and it didn’t feel crowded at all. They had a refrigeration issue so the main salon had a small refrigerator sitting in the center of it. They don’t really encourage the guest to hang out inside so it wasn’t a problem except it didn’t look very organized. The company has something like 12 - 14 boats going out everyday so they have a system they use and it works. The route, food, timing and everything is the same and practiced so it makes for a fun day without any chaos that happens on boats sometimes. The only slight negative, which Spiridakos had no control over is the long bus rides. They offer “hotel pick up” which really means they have several stops around the island and ask you to walk to the nearest one (ours was about 200 meters from our hotel). If you’re the first to be picked up you can spend 30-45 minutes on the bus while they collect the other passengers. It’s a great way to see the island but after a long day on the water it can seem long on your way back.
Unforgettable

5.00As Latinos who do not speak English, we found it incredible how well they managed to communicate: they made themselves understood perfectly at all times, which makes a significant difference when traveling in another language. The treatment from Leo Jo, Nadia, and Angelo turned the excursion into a truly special moment, with kindness and warmth present at every instant. We were a group of 13 people; we toured the entire caldera and had the opportunity to jump into the water three times. Regarding the food, we enjoyed a generous variety: Greek salads, chicken, prawns, chorizos, sausages, pasta, and drinks with and without alcohol. The excursion lasted 5 hours on the water and culminated in the most perfect way possible: watching the sun disappear on the horizon with an unforgettable sunset. I recommend this activity without hesitation.
The experience really...

5.00Hotel drop off and pick up, well organized, friendly staff, good food, relaxing sail. Plenty of room on clean boat to chill. Even if weather is not the greatest, still a nice way to see the island. Towels and blankets provided as the afternoon cooled.
