Great experience - The Santa Maria is perfect if you want to avoid the crowds and confusion of other boats offering the same excursion. We had a great time and the crew was really very well organized.

5 stars from Denmark! - We had an absolutely lovely day onboard the Santa Maria. 3 beautiful location, with the most amazing crystal clear blue water, very fresh and great BBQ for lunch - no empty stomach here! Alex, the host, lived up to his nickname Alexander The Great, cause’ he was such a fun and energetic guy that really suited the trip. Nice music all around but a bit to much of Dutch-“Schlager” songs, but I guess it was to accommodate the many Dutch people there where onboard - they sure appreciated it! All in all a perfect day on the water with the nice crew of Santa Maria!

Amazing experience on the Santa Maria cruise! - A few days ago, my friends and I had an amazing experience on the Santa Maria boat. With a warm welcome we entered the boat, and immediately felt like we would have a great day. The places we visited were beautiful Greek hotspots where we could swim in the clear blue waters. We had a lovely lunch, after which we could order drinks for affordable prices. The staff on the boat was outstanding, with quick and good service. We would like to say a special thanks to one of the hosts: Alexander (the Great). His enthusiasm and considerate character made the day even better. We had great laughs with him and he made sure everyone felt included and entertained. We couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide. Overall, this experience exceeded our expectations, and we would recommend this activity for all ages! ☺️

Hot, long and Kostas - Boat was really busy. Not enough time spent on the islands to really enjoy the sea, boat transfer took up the majority of the trip. Not enough seats and little shaded spots. Kostas was rly fit tho hence three stars. 🐬😻

Decent experience - If they take 10 less people, the experience would be much better but when there are 0 free places to sit, people are stick with their place for whole trip. Clasic "towel reservation" is here too during stops. Stops are ~1 hour, so the time on the boat is long. There were also some chaos in booking people between their 3 boats. The smell of gasoline in toilet or near the side ladder when in water was really uncomfortable. The lunch was decent quality and quite big. Meat, salad and bread made the job done well. For the price a full day trip and lunch is a decent value, but I would rather pay 10 EUR more and enjoy the ride in front, or back in shade or where I just want. Unfortunately smaller boats were full capacity. The islands are rocky and look quite the same but water is crystal clear and nicer compared to Kos where we lived.

PER UNDER 30 - Massacrante... 5 hours by sea, by boat... (hope it is not rough) too short stops...for each island if you have no place in the shade best wishes!! Only one island on the three allows you to swim by touching the seabed with your feet
