At first we were under the impression that this was a private tour. So, we were disappointed when we arrived to learn that it was semi-private. However, we had the BEST time!! The staff was great and very friendly! The boat was clean and pristine. The food was terrific. And the scenery was to die for. I would highly recommend this sunset catamaran tour!!

Every aspect of this experience was great. From hotel pick up and drop off, the beautiful boat, the food and drinks and the staff it was all remarkable. This is a several hour excursion and well worth the cost. Captain Elvin was amazing and the staff of Aristos, Dimitris and sweet, funny Nicole made the event wonderful and very safe. The multiple swim opportunities, and ooohhh that sunset!!! Great music too! Definitely recommend!

We absolutely loved our Sunset Catamaran tour. The crew was so fun, and at around $300 USD for two of us, it felt like a great deal for a five hour cruise, dinner, dessert, beer and wine. Everyone on the boat provided us incredible service, including looking out for me when I needed something for seasickness. We got to see so much of Santorini at several stops throughout the night, capping off with the incredible sunset. Pickup and pre cruise communication was very clear and easy to follow, as was the check in and drop off process. There aren't many cabs on Santorini, so the transportation being included was a huge help.
