What To Expect
Red Beach
One of the most beautiful beaches on the island. Its distinct red coloration is caused by the rich in minerals and iron soil. Stop to take some photos.

5.00Our private catamaran tour in Santorini was perfect from start to finish! Our driver was friendly and shared a lot of cool information about the island. Then, the crew of three sailors went above and beyond to make the day unforgettable! They were made us feel completely comfortable the entire time. They took tons of great photos for us so we could just relax and enjoy the stunning views. And the lunch… WOW! It was truly a feast! This experience was the absolute highlight of our trip.
An amazing day on the sea!!

5.00My friend and I did a private catamaran day cruise and it was a truly amazing experience! The private cruise was 100% worth it if you have the budget. I feel like we truly lucked out with our crew that made the whole experience unforgettable. I can’t recommend this experience enough and that is really thanks to our crew of Petros, Isidora and Chef Adik on the Caliente catamaran. What made it even more memorable was that we got to truly sail for a good part of our cruise instead of just using the catamaran’s motor. In the past, I’ve been a bit nervous about sailing, but this has totally changed my mind. We wished we could have stayed on the boat all day. We started at the very bottom of Santorini, sailed past the red and white beaches and the Akrotiri lighthouse up in to the caldera, where we got to swim to and in the hot springs. Then we sailed to Thirasia where we were able to anchor in some of the most beautiful water we’ve ever seen(!!). This was where we had the lunch that Chef Adik had prepared while on the boat (he was cooking throughout the cruise until we stopped for lunch). And then we got to swim again in the waters off Thirasia before we VERY sadly had to head back to the port. Thank you Spiridakos Sailing and to Petros and crew for what is definitely one of my all time favorite travel memories!
Best private experience! Great crew, food, sights, snorkeling, and smooth sailing

5.00What a wonderful outing we had. The boat and staff were phenomenal. It was one of the best meals we had in Greece. I would take this trip daily if I could! BOOK directly with the boat company. Viator screwed up the reservation and they are trying to charge me for it. Just call the company directly and you won’t regret it.
Amazing!

5.00We had the most amazing half day cruise with Spiradakos while in Santorini. Maria and the whole crew were fantastic- friendly, welcoming, attentive, knowledgeable and fun! We were traveling for our honeymoon as a gay couple and felt completely comfortable the entire time. The food was also some of the best we’ve had in Greece. We can’t recommend them enough!
Fabulous!!!!

5.00The crew was fantastic. From the driver who picked us up at our hotel to the crew onboard Marios, Stratos and Alamin were outstanding hosts, tour guides and cooks. What a great day in a very lovely place. Cannot wait to return and request these same guys again. Outstanding!
Private Spiridakos catamaran tour

5.00We went with the private tour of 10 people on a relatively new catamaran, and had the most amazing experience. They provided options as to which islands we wanted to see, stopped at 2 places for a swim, and provided heaps of bbq food for our dinner. They also catered for allergies and separately cooked the food first for those that had allergies. The staff were excellent, always checked on us and constantly offered us drinks and whether we were all ok. Thoroughly recommend you do the private tour if you have a big group, even though it costs more 👍
