5.00One of the best things we did in Santorini. Petros gave detailed instruction on where to go with a map snacks and everything you need. So nice to tie off and watch all the tour people herded together spending 10 minutes at a site while we sunbathed as long as wanted!!
Our favourite activity in Santorini!

5.00Amazing views, very satisfied with the boat, fuel wasn't too expensive between 5 people and our guide Nikos was very helpful and generous. Would absolutely recommend for an evening out! Great value for money as well.

5.00A really great day out, great instruction and safety advice. Lovely boat. Beautiful way to see the white beach and the red beach. Nudists at the far end of white beach if you fancy skinny dipping . At the red beach there are plenty of buoys to tie up to, just zig when the catamarans zag and you can have the place to yourself. Fantastic.
Great. Great.

5.00Two lovely friendly patient brothers who have three amazingly well looked after boats. We took the 5 hour expedition and the boat was incredible. We moored , we snorkled, we sailed and had the best time. We had a freezer bag with snacks and drinks and a Bluetooth speaker, such nice touches. The price was not at all expensive.
Loved it!

5.00Absolutely perfect experience. Nikos made sure everything was incredibly smooth for us. Super well done in terms of the organisation and communication, very nice boat that was modern and had a cooler + Snorkeling gear. Safety was top notch with Nikos providing excellent briefing on all the details.
Great experience. Absolutely recommended.

5.00Great experience. Absolutely recommended. The tour was pleasantly and perfectly organized. We book a small boat without the skipper, for half-day tour. We had the opportunity to see all exceptional sightseeings. By saying ALL, I literally mean all… we visited: Red & White beaches, Therasia, Ammoudi, Oia, Palia & Nea Kammeni, Hot Springs and we toured the whole Caldera, from Ammudi to Old Fira Port and back to Vlychada. Petros and Nikos, the managers, have both been extremely informative during a small pre-skipping briefing. The boat was in excellent condition, clean , easy to manage or drive and fully equipped with all safety measures and standards. A small surprise was also waiting for us…a small fridge with cold water bottles and cold snacks. Much needed and much appreciated, guys.! We never believed that we could be able to see all those beautiful and picturesque sites in Santorini’s Caldera on our own, relaxed, with the ease of our privacy and full safety. Again, absolutely recommended !
Amazing experience in the sea!

5.00Nikos and Peter were very helpful and explained everything to us so we did not have any issues during our trip. They offered us cool waters, juices and snacks. We were very lucky to find a boat available because the experience was simply unique!!!
