Amazing way to see and learn about the Island! - This was an amazing experience and a great chance to see the Island form a different perspective.
There were multiple opportunities to get into water which were amazing, though the hot springs are lukewarm at best.
The staff was amazing, telling us interesting history and facts about the island!
The food was also pretty decent, not Michelin but tasty enough to go for seconds

Nice cruise - Had a great time on the catamaran. Crew was really good and very entertaining . Had a great group experience but was a bit disappointed with Santorini by sea. No beaches only rock faces and apparently the snorkelling was a bit underwhelming. Also the hot water springs were not hot... 🤣
Had a lovely time though.... but just need to be honest with my review

Caliente - Petros, Vitto and Athik were great at putting safety and fun equally important. Great views that you can only get from the water. decent lunch and good timing. 1 suggestion - give them a mic! We could not hear them well

Unforgettable sunset cruise - This is a fantastic must do trip. The views are to die for and the stop-off points during the trip fabulous. The crew on the Caldera were second to none, looking after your every need. Topping you up with constant drinks and then making you a very tasty chicken bbq meal complete with pasta, Greek salad, stuffed vines leaves and bread.
Our host Irene was so attentive and helpful, especially when my daughter who is very prone to being sea-sick got ill over the side of the catamaran. The water was very choppy that day on the way out, so if prone to being sea-sick please take anti sickness medication before you set off on very windy days. She omitted to do so, school girl error, not to be repeated . ❤️
All in all we had an unforgettable experience and witnessed a stunning sunset.
You won’t regret booking this trip and see if you get the best crew like we did with Irene and her teammates on the Caldera too 👍❤️

Incredible experience on the water - An incredible time on the water, with lots of time to swim and relax on the boat. The food was delicious, and the staff was very friendly and fun. Pickup and drop off was quick and easy. Irene was a great hostess, and captains Pedros and the other one whose name I forget were excellent.

Excellent day in the caldaira with a top crew! - Excellent day in the caldaira with a top crew!
From the morning when the team picks you up directly from your hotel in the evening or we obviously take you back! The whole day was rocked by kindness and Mediterranean waves!
3 swimming stops including 1 long after eating where you can snorkel, equipment of good quality loaned
The catamaran is really well held with even small corners!
Simple but rather good and nutritious lunch. Drinks has discretion throughout the trip. No need for a bath towel they lend you too!
Perfect day, just think of sunscreen galore!

Beautiful trip with awesome crew on the board 😀 👌 - Everything on this catamaran cruise was perfect from the beginning to the finish, pick up from hotel straight to the marine port few moments later we was on the catamaran ready for a trip. The crew from catamaran was absolutely amazing so kind and helpful. They prepared food for everyone and drinks as well. Sunset view from catamaran stolen our hearts 💕 Highly recommended for everyone who want to see Santorini from the sea!

Sunset view is so worth ! - Amazing sunset view. Had a great afternoon/evening. Were picked up from our hotel and brought back there. Everything went well although the return was a bit more windy and bumpy. The sunset is worth to see. Crew is friendly (Calderra Catamaran). We were almost the only one to go in the water but it was well worth. Food was good.

Quite boring & dull. Will not book this one again - Cruise was supposed to be fun, plus it was my son's birthday, which I me tioned when we boarded but it was quite boring to say the least. Captain had so many rules, no one allowed on the net, no one sits in the corner, no one brings glasses to their seats, no music whatsoever, no special drinks for the sunset, the list goes on. Captain spent his time cleaning the boat, the floor and the dishes rather than catering to the guests or making the experience fun. No one spoke, no music, very dull & boring cruise. Took many previous cruises where people were dancing, even other boats had actual fun yesterday but certainly not ours. My son's birthday was a complete non-event. Very disappointed especially at this price point. Felt we were summoned at the Principal's office...
