Great Day Out

5.00We booked this cruise in Santorini, what a great day out! Family of 5 (3 teenagers) travelling from Australia, our catamaran Vasiliki was very comfortable and all to ourselves, looked after by our fantastic crew. They did everything they could to make our day special, thanks so much to Vangelis, Danai and Yannis. All were very knowledgeable and the food and drinks were awesome. Ευχαριστώ 💙

5.00We loved our catamaran cruise. It was the highlight of our trip. It was great seeing the island from so many beautiful vantage points and Electra, Stefanis and Mustafa were an awesome crew
The most beautiful day of our stay

5.00Everything was perfect from start to finish. We had the chance to sail aboard the catamaran Vasiliki for an unforgettable afternoon and evening, with a breathtaking sunset. The team, composed of Vangelis, Yannis and Danai, was remarkably kind and available. We were able to choose our music playlist, with a special mention to Danai who played a selection of French songs for us and who even makes pirouettes on Edith Piaf! She is not only passionate about the island, but she also taught us a lot while offering us moments full of good humor. We made several stops to swim in the hot springs and at Red Beach. The barbecue was delicious and particularly generous. Without a doubt, it was the best day of our stay. A huge thank you to the whole team!
Fantastic catamaran experience on the caldera

5.00Fantastic sunset catamaran experience with bbq dinner and open bar. My wife and I (along with 4 other couples present that day) had a great time visiting wonderful places on the island and making 3 stops to swim. The crew composed of skipper Stefanos accompanied by Iannis and Electra made the excursion really nice and pleasant explaining many useful info. Catamaran level and with different usable spaces. Great dinner with grilled meat and fish on board before enjoying probably the most beautiful sunset in the world. To be repeated absolutely!
An excellent Santorini sailing experience.

5.00We had a great experience on the water with the crew of catamaran Vasiliki - skipper Vangelis, sailor Danai and vivacious but informative hostess Danai. They all contributed to a perfect afternoon and evening. The wine flowed freely and the barbecue dinner was delicious. We cannot recommend this experience highly enough.
Wonderful experience with Volcano Yachting!

5.00We had the best time with Volcano Yachting during our recent trip to Santorini. We experienced the private catamaran cruise with Captain Paul, host George, Mustafa and Peter. Each member of the crew was very friendly, helpful and gracious. Captain Paul led a smooth boating experience and shared knowledge of his years on the water. George was the best host with so much knowledge about history, the island and many other tidbits. And Mustafa and Peter seamlessly made sure we were comfortable and safe. The lunch was excellent - better than we ever expected! The cruise itself was perfect as we saw many sights around the island in comfort and with a great musical play list. Our driver who transported us to and from the cruise ports was also very kind and prompt. And not to forget - the communication leading up to our cruise was also wonderful. Overall the day exceeded our expectations. We would absolutely repeat the experience if we ever visit Santorini again - highly recommend Volcano Yachting for your trip!
Best Boat Day

5.00We had the most wonderful experience on our catamaran! Staff was lovely, food was terrific and we got to see the red back, white beach, hot springs and anchor in a lovely spot where we were able to swim to a very remote area with rocks and hang out for a bit! I would 100% book this experience again and recommend the private experience.
The highlight of our Santorini trip!

5.00This boat tour was one of the highlights of our Santorini trip! Two families each with three kids booked this catamaran for the day and we had a beautiful tour of the island starting in the south and ending north in the town of Oia. We had many opportunities to swim and play in the water, and we learned about the island terrain and history and we took in the sights including black, red, and white sand beaches and the volcanic islands of the caldera. Captain John and first mate George were incredibly personable and kind, patient with the children, and knowledgeable about the area. They communicated the safety protocols well and enforced them with tact when our kids or adults forgot them! Good and drink was plentiful and delicious and the boat was clean and well kept. We would do this again on a heartbeat and we are grateful to Volcano yaughting, and Capt John and George in particular - thank you for a wonderful boat trip!
Great experience in catamaran

5.00We tried this experience with the catamaran, the duration was about six hours. There are several packages at different prices, ours included lunch on the boat, round trip to the port, unlimited drinks and the possibility of snorkeling. It was really a fascinating experience, we bathed in three different places including very close to the volcano. The staff is very helpful for any request and the catamaran was very stylish and spacious. Very recommended to fully experience the magic of this place
Spectacular
