Afternoon and Sunset Cruise - We had a wonderful time on the Golden Star catamaran; touring, swimming, snorkeling, and a great barbecue dinner!
The crew is friendly and helpful, food delicious, and the views are fantastic!
The only negative was that some of the other passengers were smoking, which we didn’t enjoy, but we could move around the deck to get away from the smoke.

Spectacular Santorini Caldera Cruise - First of all, Caldera Yachts went above and beyond to help us with a difficult situation. Carnival Legend switched ports and then would not let us take one of the earlier tenders to port😡, so we completely missed our meeting time. We called the tour operator and they arranged for a 30 minute later cruise for us. Pulios and Katerina, the crew, we're absolutely fantastic! We toured the coastline on our way to the Hot Springs at Nea Kameni volcano. They explained to the geology and history of the island on the way and taught us a few things about sailing. They were also fantastic chefs, cooking up a Greek barbecue dinner rivaling anything we've had on the ship. The husband and wife pair took excellent care of us, it was a first class all the way! Five stars, highly recommend! Ask for Pulios and Katerina!

Outstanding Experience! - While visiting Santorini we went out on a sunset sailing charter with Caldera Yachting Santorini. It was a perfect experience! The crew, Captain Nikolaos and First Mate Dimitri did an excellent job of providing outstanding service. We sailed from Oia on the north end of Santorini and we made three stops as we sailed south. At our last stop we had a nice BBQ dinner with chicken, shrimp, and sausage. This was the highlight of our time in Santorini! We highly recommend!

Sunset cruise - We booked this as the company was recommended by our hotel. We did a sunset cruise 5 years ago (see my other review) and have to say that this one wasn’t as good. We felt rushed by the staff and didn’t seem to stop to swim as much. What we did like was everyone who joined us on the trip and we all got on great and spoke to people from different countries and backgrounds.

A bit underwhelming, we expected more for 160 euros - The reason I'm giving it an "average" is that my friend and I have done several cruises in similar places (Croatia, Malta, ...) and they were considerably cheaper (this one was 160 euros per person for 5 hours on the boat), more scenic and overall more enjoyable, it was a bit "underwhelming". We were picked up from Oia by Ilias who was incredibly friendly, he made sure we were all comfortable and he guided us to the boat. The boat was the OASIS with captain Manolis and crew Rea, Kostas and Matheo. They were all very helpful and nice.
Our first stop was the volcano where we had around 10 minutes to swim which seems short but it was enough time to float around in the green sulphury water. We were offered a snack: salty crackers with olive spread and cucumbers.
We continued to the area of White Beach, the boat stopped and we went into the sea to snorkel. One of the crew threw some bread in the water to attract some fish but even then it was terribly underwhelming, there was no coral and hardly any fish so not the most exciting spot to snorkel. After about 10 - 15 minutes we were called back on board for dinner. With bread, rice, Greek salad, stuffed vine leaves, giant beans, shrimp saganaki, mussels, BBQ chicken and sausage the choice was ok for non vegetarians, if I was the one vegan person on our boat then I would have been quite disappointed especially for that price.... Our last stop for snorkeling was near Red Beach but nobody felt the need to get into the water again. As a desert we got some apple slices with honey and cinnamon. The final stop before heading back to the port was a nice spot to see the sunset and take photos.
All in all it was an ok experience but it was too expensive for what it was in our opinion. We've done much nicer day cruises for a lot less money.
