Great Daytrip - We booked the blue daytime cruise which left around 10am and returned about 3pm. There is transport provided to and from your hotel which makes the day completely stress free! As there were multiple Caldera Yachting boats heading out it was difficult to know which one we should be on and the drivers instructions were very confusing.
The boat trip itself was great and the BBQ tasted great. The crew were very friendly and knowledgeable about the area! The swimming stops were a highlight!
The bus journey back to our hotel was quite long as there were lots of stops to other hotels first as we were staying the furthest away.

Unforgettable Sunset Catamaran Experience in Santorini - We had the most incredible day sailing with Caldera Yachting in Santorini!
Picked up from our hotel (Radisson Blu in Kamari) at 2pm, we were taken to Oia where we stepped aboard a beautiful catamaran with seven other couples. From the very start, everything felt seamless and perfectly organised.
The weather and water conditions were absolutely perfect, and we sailed around the volcano, stopping at a few stunning swimming spots. The atmosphere on board was relaxed and friendly — the other travellers were great company.
A special thank you to Captain Nikos, who made the day extra special with his fascinating local knowledge, humour, and warm personality. The food was outstanding — freshly prepared by Demetrius, who did an amazing job. Add to that an open bar throughout the day, and we couldn’t have asked for more.
The experience ended with a magical sunset viewed from the catamaran, which was truly unforgettable. Both myself and my partner had an incredible time and made fantastic memories.
Highly recommend Caldera Yachting, and especially thanks again to Nikos and Demetrius for making it such a perfect day!

Unforgettable experience - Excellent experience with the rainbow boat. We chose the sunset cruise and enjoy wonderful pictures with the best sunset we have seen in Santorini. The whole crew was very helpful and especially Mars fascinated us as a human being. Very nice food and you can drink free wine or beer. We would definitely choose it again. To the end congratulations to our guide Maria who safely carried us a smile courtesy and humor.

Unmissable sunset cruise around Santorini. - My husband, teenage daughters and I had the most wonderful time on the Gold Sunset Cruise. The transfer to and from our hotel worked well and all of the staff were friendly and attentive. There was plenty of space for everyone onboard regardless of whether you wanted to stay outside or in the shade. The soft drink options were far more varied than we were expecting and we enjoyed the white wine and beer too. There were plenty of opportunities to swim in the sea but there was also absolutely no pressure at all if this wasn’t something that you wanted to do. Music choices were good and complimented the different points of the trip. The absolute highlights for all of us though were the food (delicious and plenty of it!) and the view of the sunset from the back of the catamaran - we will never forget it. My whole family rated this as the best experience of our holiday.

Once in a lifetime experience! Thank you Catarina & Spilios - We booked the Lagoon 40 Private Catamaran as a family of 6, our married daughter and son-in-law and our adult son and his girlfriend. We were unbelievably lucky to be given Spilios and Catarina has our hosts. They were simply fantastic ❤️❤️❤️, providing information about the various beaches, materials and history of the caldera. It was an all inclusive package, the food was better than the restaurants we had tried in Fira!! The beer, wine and soft drinks were continuous and the onboard music befitting of the situation. Finally the sunset was absolutely stunning, again better than what we witnessed in Oia and Fira. Lastly Catarina also kindly offered us advice on future Greek island adventures.

Beautiful family afternoon tour! - Went with my family for an afternoon boat ride and had a great experience! We had three spots to swim, saw the sunset and had dinner. Dinner was amazing, there was snorkeling gear and towels too for us. Staff was also very friendly and helpful. My sister and I also took dizziness pills from the staff which they have on hand too.
