Boat tour in Santorini.

A Private Catamaran Cruise to the hot springs and around the Santorini caldera is one of my favorite things to do in Greece.

Boat Tours of the Santorini Caldera & Volcano A boat tour of the caldera is among my very favorite things to do in Santorini . Unforgettable and a must-do! Don’t worry too much about which tour you book – they’re all good. Emphasis should be on getting something booked in advance before they sell out for your dates. Day tour or sunset tour? There is not a huge difference between the two types of tours beyond the time of day. A day tour/cruise usually runs from 9 or 10 am to 3 pm, serves lunch, and has lots of swimming. A sunset tour/cruise runs from about 3 pm to 8 or 9 pm, serves dinner, has a little less swimming than the day tour, and typically finishes by sailing beneath the Oia cliffs to watch the sunset. Private boat tour or small group tour? I’ll be honest, I definitely prefer the private. You get more input on where to go, how long to spend at different spots, what music to listen to, and (sometimes) where you get dropped off at the end. Yes, private tours are more expensive but I’d be shocked if anyone regretted the money they spent once they’re on the boat. The description says, “all you can eat and drink”, is that really true? Yes, but with some differences between tours. The private tours bring the drinks out before you’ve left the harbor. The less-expensive tours hold-off for a bit until the boat gets to the first destination and you’ve had a swim, which might be an hour to two, but after that, it’s an open bar. There are no ferries to the volcano. The only way to do a volcano tour is to do a boat tour. You can not access the volcano unless you’re part of an organized (private or group) tour. The Jet Ski Tour To The Volcano is amazing. All boat tours have great views of the caldera cliffs. Cruise options include: hike the volcano; swim in the hot springs (you can always stay on the boat if you wish); visit Thirassia and explore its villages; stop at Red Beach and White Beach to swim and snorkel; eat lunch or dinner on board, and watch the sunset below Oia. GetYourGuide.com is the best way to book tours in Santorini. If you ever need to cancel it’s usually much easier if you’ve booked through Get Your Guide.

The 8 Best Boat Tours in Santorini

All boat tours below provide meals onboard and have hotel pick-up and drop-off (which doesn’t sound like a big deal when you’re booking but makes the day so much easier and hassle-free when the time arrives). Also, all tours enter the caldera, sail to or near the volcano, and have plenty of swimming and snorkeling . Food on the tours ranges from surprisingly good to great. And the boats are very generous with their alcohol – after every tour, I ask myself how they make money when they’re so lavish with the food and drink. 1. Small Group Catamaran Cruise Sunset Cruise (2:45pm departure) or Day Cruise (9:45am departure). Awesome cruise around the volcano, staring up at the cliffs of the caldera. You stop at a few beaches for swimming and snorkeling, then swim in the hot springs near the volcano, eat a huge lunch or dinner, and finally see the sunset from the cliffs below Oia (for the sunset cruise). Lots of fun! If this tour is fully booked then try the Caldera Cruise or Santorini Sunset Cruise . 2. Private Catamaran Cruise Wonderful private cruise of the caldera. Great food and plenty of flexibility on what to see and where to sail. Ideal for a luxury honeymoon cruise, small group, or family. The day tour departs at 10:30am, the sunset-tour departs at 3:30pm. Both tours last 5 hours. Be prepared to be insanely pampered. If the above tour is fully booked – which is common from June to September – then try the Private Sunset Cruise . 3. Santorini Day Cruise Wonderful day tour with great food and friendly staff (10:00am departure). You can’t go more than 5 minutes without someone asking if you want another beer or glass of wine. But it’s far from a drinking cruise – the emphasis is on swimming, snorkeling, and sunbathing on the top of the catamaran. You’ll visit a few beaches and the hot springs and have plenty of time to explore the sights of the caldera. (I did this boat tour last summer and it was awesome.) 4. Private Cruise on a Motor Yacht This is an incredible way to see the Santorini cliffs and stare up at the villages perched on the caldera’s edge. The motor yachts allow for much more freedom in getting around the volcanic islands and seeing the caldera from every different angle. On a catamaran, you feel like you’re on vacation. On the motor yachts it feels a little more like you’re on an adventure (though there’s still plenty of swimming, snorkeling, eating, and drinking). 5. Volcano Boat Tour Much less expensive and with a larger boat and group of people but still very fun. This tour is almost the opposite of the Sunset Catamaran Cruise. You get the volcano, hot springs (with swimming), and a visit to Thirassia island – but no beaches or going outside the caldera, and no sunset. This is the cheapest boat tour of the caldera. 6. Santorini Fishing Tour This tour is very well done and lots of fun. Boat around the Santorini waters on a local fishing boat. Fresh seafood lunch or dinner served on board (eat what you catch and empty from the nets). The daytime tour is best for families and serious fishermen. The sunset tour is best for couples. 7. Santorini Jet Ski Tour Not a boat tour, obviously, but super fun. We’ve done a couple of these tours (it’s always a small group of 2 to 4) to the volcano and they rank as some of the most exhilarating activities we’ve ever done. (That’s my son in the photo, 14 years old at the time.) The perspective you get as you ride through the caldera is awe-inspiring. A boat travels with the tour and is there for any emergencies or if the water gets too rough for beginner riders. The South Coast Tour is fun, but to see the volcano and caldera (which I recommend) you need to do the Volcano Tour or Extreme Volcano Tour. I would be shocked if anyone did this tour and at its conclusion didn’t yell, that was awesome!!! 8. Sea Kayaking Excursion A fun and easy-going way to explore the Santorini coastline. The Morning Tour and Evening Tour stick to the south coast of the island. The Round The Lighthouse Tour goes into the caldera and offers incredible views of the caldera cliffs.

About Santorini Dave

Santorini Dave Author Bio.

Dave: When you go swimming on these boat trips (especially one going to hot springs), where can you keep your valuables, e.g. your camera? It would be terrible to lose your photos. I am a trustworthy person, but wonder what other people do to avoid any problems. You can’t swim with a camera.

' src=

Honestly, it’s never been anything I’ve considered. It’s usually a small group of people and there’s never an issue with leaving your stuff. I suppose you could leave it with one of the staff, but I expect they’d just laugh and say, this is Greece, your stuff is fine, go swim.

' src=

Hi Dave, thanks so much for all your recommendations. How choppy are these boat rides? I am concerned about sea sickness if you have any specific recommendations? Thanks so much!

The boat tours are typically pretty calm. Most time is in the protected caldera waters and if the sea is really rough the tour will be cancelled, in any case. The boat tours are definitely less rough than the worst ferry rides, so if you’re ok on the ferry you’ll be fine on a boat tour.

' src=

Just found this fantastic website – thanks Santorini Dave, have been finding it really useful! One question about the boat tours please, we’d like to do one, will they take 5 year olds? Thank you

Unless otherwise stated, boat tours allow all ages.

' src=

Hi, Dave My friend and I are considering to book the Private Catamaran Cruise. Could you please give us some ideas about the range of the gratuities we should provide? Thanks!

Tipping in the 10% to 20% is appreciated. But the more the better – holiday workers really rely on tips to make a living wage.

' src=

Hi Dave – are there any boat trips available from Santorini that are maybe just 2-3 hours instead of a half or full day? Would like to be able to swim and just see some beautiful scenery, but will have a 4-year-old and husband that might be debatable if he would get sea-sickness so 5 hours feels like a big commitment. We’re staying in Oia – what might you suggest? We’ll only be on Santorini for 2 nights/1.5 days before moving on to Naxos. Thanks for all of your excellent insights!

There are no shorter tours on Santorini. Though if you booked a private boat tour (expensive, obviously) they would return you to port whenever you wanted. I will say the 5 hours goes very quickly. The only other option (as far as getting on a boat) is the ferry to Thirassia or the water taxis along the south coast beaches.

' src=

We are visiting Santorini the first week of November, will the water be too cold for these awesome excursions with swimming in hot springs and volcanoes? And if it is, is it still worth doing?

Yes, it likely will be too cold to swim for most (though not impossible for the bold). And also yes, it’s definitely still worth doing a boat tour even if you don’t swim. Views and perspective from the water are incredible any time of year.

' src=

Hi Santorini Dave

I’m looking to travel next year by myself possibly in May/September, which area of Santorini would you recommend I stay? I’m debating the time I’ll be staying but it will be between 5 or 7 nights.

Also, would you recommend any day trips to another island?

Many thanks, Alison.

I have several posts on this site about where to stay on Santorini and best towns and beaches. Take a look. In general, I do not recommend day trips to other islands. With the ferry schedules, it’s difficult to get more than a few hours on neighboring islands when you do a day trip. It’s much better to pack your bags and move to whatever island you want to see.

' src=

I’m going to Santorini and Mykonos for 8 days. Do you think it’s worth doing a boat tour on each island? I’ll only have 3 days in Mykonos.

Definitely do a boat tour in Santorini. For Mykonos it’s more of a toss-up. (If greek cooking sounds interesting to you, I’d probably do the cooking course instead of a boat tour.)

' src=

Hi Dave, Thanks for all the information on this site. Is there a sailing trip that just goes for a trip around the caldera, with no swimming or snorkeling? Maybe with the option of seeing the volcano close up and also the sunset? Thanks, Tansen.

Pretty much all tours have swimming but you don’t have to do it if you don’t want to. And while others are swimming you can just relax on deck and gaze at the views. The tour carries on even when some are swimming so it’s not as if you just sit there on your own, bored – there’s still plenty of fun on board the boat.

' src=

Do you think boat tours are fine during winter season? Otherwise, do you have any recommendations for winter excursions?

Many thanks in advance.

If by winter, you mean December, January, and February then there will be few (if any) boat tours running and I don’t think I’d recommend them. If, instead, you might be visiting in March and get some good weather then they’ll be fine (though still not many running). A wine tour is a great year-round thing to do in Santorini. And walking the Fira-Oia path.

' src=

For the boat tours, do you need to swim to the beach or is walkable to the shore once they dock as close as they can? We’re not great swimmers and if that’s requirement we’ll have to book another boat tour.

For tours that visit the volcano, the boat will dock and you’ll be able to walk off without getting wet. For tours that visit the hot springs, the boat will anchor about 30 to 50 meters from the hot spring area and you’ll need to swim to the warm water. Otherwise, most tours stop near a beach for swimming and snorkeling but don’t really directly visit the beach. You’re fine staying on the boat and viewing the scenery (which is great) while others swim. On most tours about half the people swim and half remain on the boat, so it’s unlikely you’re the only one left on the boat while everyone else is off playing.

' src=

Will the boat tour to the volcano and hot spring be suitable for those who get sea sick?

Generally, it’s usually pretty calm. Depending on where you depart from most of the tour will be inside the protected caldera. Catamarans are more stable than single-hull boats.

' src=

We are taking our kids to Santorini the last week of March. What private boat tour would you recommend to take for the volcano tour?

It’s not so much what is the best tour but more what is available. As the time grows closer (February or early March) search Getyourguide for Santorini Boat Tours and choose the most appropriate.

' src=

I tried to book the private boat tour and the sunset tour above but both were fully booked for our dates. Do you have another good boat tour that you could recommend? Preferably a private one. Thanks!

There’s another Spiridakos boat tour that is excellent and very similar to the private tour I’ve listed above. It has departures of 10:30 (day tour) and 3:30 (sunset tour).

' src=

Dave, your advice on this site is awesome and very detailed. My fiancee and I are going to be in Santorini in August for our honeymoon and are definitely booking one of the boat tours, but we just can’t decide on whether to do a day or sunset voyage. Anything you can tell us that would help make our decision easier? Not sure if this has an effect on the analysis, but we are staying in Imerovigli which I understand has nice views of the sunset. Thanks!!

There’s not a huge difference: the day tour has more swimming time, the sunset tour has more evening hours. Be sure to take a change of clothes for the sunset tour (it can get chilly at night). The sunset tour has a later starting date which allows you to do something in the morning.

' src=

Hello Dave.

I’ll be staying in santoniri for a day this November. Arrive Friday morning to either Katikies or Kirini hotel, and then leave late Saturday afternoon to Athens. (Though I have to check out from my hotel by 12pm). Would you recommend a boat tour? If yes, which would it be. My issue mainly time and not price.

Both the 5-Hour Caldera Cruise at Sunset (3pm departure) and the 5-Hour Small Group Catamaran Cruise (9:30am and 2:30pm departure) run into late November. Both are great tours.

' src=

I am about to book the semi-private boat tour and we are going the last week of June into July (which, from what I understand, is a very crowded time of year). Do you think that the day of the week that we book the day tour matters much (Friday vs. Saturday vs. Monday)? I assume everyone on board is likely vacationing so I’m not sure if this would be significant, but if it may make a different in terms of the number of people on board, I’d love to know. Thanks!

There’s no difference between days of the week and busyness. Do whatever works best.

' src=

I have 3 full days in Santorini in the beginning of July. I’m looking into a boat tour or sea kayaking. Is it worth it to do both? What would you suggest? Thanks for your amazing resources!!

If you can only do one do the boat tour but if time allows do both, as they each have a very different feel. It’s a more surreal feeling being in a kayak at water-level looking up at the huge cliffs (depending where your tour goes). But you do get to do more when on the boat tour – it’s a more complete introduction to the caldera.

' src=

I am looking to book the sunset catamaran trip this summer. In the check out it asks for passport information. I just wanted to check this was a normal request/it’s safe to provide my information to this company?

Yes, it’s safe and secure. The information is requested by the port authority but it’s never used. You could put in your correct name and then just make up a letter/number combination for the passport number. They’ll never know and never look at it.

' src=

We are going to Santorini for one day in July via fast ferry from Crete. Are there any shorter cruises around Santorini that we can do in that window of time that we will be there?

No, sorry. There’s no boat tour (that I know of) that would get you back in time to get your return ferry to Crete.

' src=

We will be in Santorini for 3 days after ferries from Athens-Mykonos then Mykonos-Santorini. We were thinking of taking the ferry to Milos for a day trip. Is it reasonable to do in a day or will we be ferried out? Thanks for your insight, love reading all of your suggestions.

Not worth it. If you want to visit Milos stay at least 2 nights and 1 full day.

' src=

Hi Dave, I’m planning a honeymoon in Greece this upcoming May and your site has been an amazing resource – thanks! Quick question: Is May too early for the boat tours that have swimming? Thanks.

Yes, they’ll be running in May (usually start in April) and you’ll be able to swim. But water can still be a bit chilly. And note, hot springs are not “hot” just warm.

' src=

Hi there, I love to read and follow all of your posts so thank you for always having the most up to date information! We will be in Santorini in July and I would like to do a catamaran tour of the island and go into caves and see some of the hidden gems of Santorini. Is there a tour or boat that would do that? Also, is there a boat that will take you to Mykonos for a day and back to Santorini? Thank you, Alissa

I don’t know of any boat tours that take in caves. And don’t know of any Santorini to Mykonos tours either. There are much better islands to visit on a day tour from Santorini. Ios for beaches, Naxos for inland sightseeing. (That said, I typically don’t recommend doing a day trip from Santorini as time is much better spent on Santorini than on a boat. If you do want to see another island then stay a night or two to see it best.)

' src=

I am looking for a beach hopping trip in Santorini to visit the Black Beach, Red Beach, White beach etc. tour starts at 4PM or 5PM. How much for 2 people?

For these beaches best to do it yourself with this boat from Akrotiri . It will be 10€ per person round trip. Can also take a different boat back to Kamari (if you were taking the bus, if you’ve got your own car then you’ll need to return to Akrotiri). Last boat is about 6:30pm (but double check) so you won’t have a lot of time.

' src=

Hi Dave – Awesome site. Just became a patron!

Trying to select the right boat tour for my husband and I (going in a few weeks!). They all seem great so it’s hard to select. What are the key differences between these three tours:

Semi-Private Luxury Catamaran Day Cruise 5-Hour Small Group Catamaran Cruise Sunset Catamaran Sailing Cruise in Caldera

In particular, trying to understand if it’s worth paying the premium for the semi-private luxury catamaran day cruise.

Many thanks! Lily

The single biggest difference is whether the tour goes through the day or in the late afternoon (and gets the sunset). The 5-hour small group tour is cheaper than the other two but will have a few more people on the boat and the food served is not quite as robust as for the semi-private and sunset catamaran cruises. More appetizers than the full meal you get on the other two. Fewer drinks are served as well. All 3 are great and you’ll love whatever you choose. My advice is to first decide whether you want the sunset or more sun/swimming.

Would like to do a private boat tour of caldera. It’s our honeymoon and want a super special day out on the water with food, wine, swimming, snorkeling, and the hot springs. Maybe take in the sunset too, but as you say, it’s a choice between more swimming/sunshine and sunset/evening so not sure what we’ll decide. What’s the best tour to book for our needs?

Thanks, Colin

The Private Half-Day Catamaran Cruise of Santorini is simply awesome. It is expensive but I’m sure you’re expecting that already. There’s a morning departure (for lots of swimming and sunshine) and an afternoon departure (for the sunset – but still plenty of time to swim too). Food is top notch. If it’s within your budget this is the one you want. (If you do the sunset tour bring a change of clothes so you can change out of your wet swimming stuff and enjoy the sunset without a chill.)

' src=

We are visiting Santorini in the next few weeks. Is there a ferry that 2 people can take on their own and explore the volcano/hot springs, or is it only by tour? Please let me know! Much appreciated. Gabriel M

There are no ferries to the volcano or hot springs. You have to do a tour or a chartered/private tour. There are small boats that do regular routes to the neighboring island of Thirassia (that forms the western side of the caldera) but this isn’t the volcano.

We are looking for the best sunset tour around Santorini. Our only concern is that we also want lots of swimming. If we do the sunset tour will we have enough time to swim?

Thanks Miller

Not sure what you mean by “enough” but you’ll certainly get a good stretch of time to swim. It won’t be 10 minutes and let’s go. More like 2 to 3 hours.

Free roundtrip transportation is included in your cruise price. We arrange the pick-up from your hotel (or, in case your hotel is not accessible by car, at the nearest convenient location) and drop you back after the cruise.

The capacity limit of the Semi Private Catamaran Cruises varies, depending on the Cruise you will book, from 16 to 20 guests onboard.

Embarkation and/or disembarkation at the Old Port of Fira is possible and can be accommodated on Private Cruises at an extra charge. Bear in mind that on occasion, this may only happen via tender boat, thus it is not recommended for guests with mobility issues.

During your cruise, you will have the chance to view up close the famous White, Red and Mesa Pigadia Beaches, and swim at the open sea of each stop. However, disembarkation at any of these stops is impossible as Greek legislation does not permit it. Walking at the Volcano would be possible, though we recommend booking a Private Cruise with a Speedboat, Sailing Yacht or Catamaran in order to do so.

Which Catamaran Cruise Should I Choose?

Whichever catamaran cruise you choose, you’ll have the time of your life! Their differences have to do mainly with whether you choose a Semi-Private (Shared) or a Private Cruise, the food and drinks offered on board the boats, the passenger capacity, the vessel’s size, and the point of departure.

  • - Semi-Private (Shared) or Private Cruise : If your plan is to spend some enjoyable moments as part of a group and share their energy, then a Semi-Private Catamaran Cruise would be the perfect match! For those wishing to add some privacy to their cruise, or who want to organize a special celebration on board, the best choice would be a Private Cruise for only them and their loved ones!
  • - Food : Buffet or BBQ meal, some of them include filet of fish, while others chicken filet or pork.
  • - Drinks : On all of the cruises you will be offered unlimited local wine and soft drinks, while some of them include beers, and others, cocktails.
  • - Passenger capacity : Fewer passengers means more comfort, but more passengers means more fun and a chance to meet new people - the choice is yours!
  • - Luxury catamarans are larger and more deluxe and thus offer more comfort.
  • - Departure port : If you stay in Oia or Imerovigli, it will be preferable to book a catamaran cruise that departs from Ammoudi port, as the travel distance with the operator’s pick-up vehicle is shorter. For people staying in the southern part of the island, the most convenient option would be a cruise departing from Vlychada port since it is the nearest port to that location.

Written By: Pavlos Inglesis

Santorini is an island, so getting the boat and “moving around” is one of the best things to do on the island. There are a lot of Santorini Boat Tours that are currently on offer, but they don’t all offer the same things, so here is what you need to know. ⛵

santorini boat tours

I am pretty sure that a boat tour in Santorini will easily be the highlight of your trip , and it will be a shame if you don’t do one.

Get my secrets for Greece and Santorini in your email!

There are a ton of boat tours to choose from, but all of them usually follow the same route, taking you to the volcano inside the caldera (the volcanic sea lagoon), the volcano island, the volcanic hot springs, the island of Thirassia, the famous red beach and even the white beach of Santorini.

santorini cruise

This is on board the cheap Santorini boat tour. The cheap Santorini boat tour will take you to the volcano, the hot springs and the island of Thirassia. These tours are carried out on large wooden sailing boats (with a motor though) and in the high season they sell out quickly so you should book it well in advance.

spiriakos santorini food

Spiridakos boat tour in Santorini is one of the most famous and well-established tour operators on the island with decades of experience. If you hop on one of their tours (usually on a catamaran), you will also be offered (included in the price) a full meal and drinks as there are people on board cooking it. You can book Spiridakos sailing cruise here .

THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT THE SANTORINI BOAT TOURS

  • Cheap boat tours that will take you to the volcano, the hot springs and the sunset (around 3-4 hours and usually in large sailing boats with more than 20 people – no food is offered on board and they usually depart from Athinios port Cost: approx 30-40 euros per person
  • Catamaran boat tours that will take you to the same route (pretty much) but will usually pick you up from your hotel and also offer you lunch or bbq on board (around 5-6 hours) in a smaller group of people (usually 5- 10 people on the catamaran) – Cost: approx 100-200 euros per person
  • Luxury VIP Boat Tours that will also take you to the same route for about 5-6 hours but will usually offer a luxury lunch on board and a luxury boat, catamaran or even a luxury yacht – Cost: more than 200 euros per person
  • All tours are of excellent quality with very experienced crew, and whenever food is offered, it will be of high quality (usually seafood and fresh fish).
  • There are usually two boat tours per day for every operator : morning tour (no sunset) and an afternoon tour (sunset included). The morning tour will allow you more time to swim but doesn’t include the sunset. The afternoon boat tour will give you the opportunity to enjoy the famous sunset.
  • If you are on a honeymoon you MUST do a boat tour and preferably one on a catamaran as this will provide more luxury, though it is more expensive. There is nothing wrong with the cheapest ones and they are great, too if you are on a budget.
  • Most of the Santorini Boat tours operate between mid April and end of October . but there are a couple of boat tours that also operate till the end of November.

9 Unforgettable Santorini Catamaran Cruises For 2023

Santorini catamaran cruises are a must-do activity when visiting this world-famous Greek island. With dozens of departures every day, there’s a cruise for everyone, no matter your age or interests.

Having lived on a sailboat for four years now, sailing the incredible Greek islands, I can vouch for the fact that seeing Santorini by boat is by far the best way.

Greece has some beautiful towns and fascinating history, but the crystal clear waters and stunning coastlines are definitely the highlight of any trip here.

Catamarans are the most popular form of transport here (and pretty much everywhere these days!) They make the journey the best part of any trip, with their spacious lounge space, stability at sea, and of course, the trampolines to dolphin watch from.

Whether you’re looking for an action-packed day on the water or a leisurely sail around the Caldera, we’ve got the perfect Santorini catamaran cruise for you!

🏆 Our Top Choice 🏆 This private sunset catamaran cruise is an incredible experience. With the boat all to yourself (apart from the crew) this is a unique and special trip that’s worth every cent. Book now

#1 Half-Day Catamaran Cruise in Santorini

a half day catamaran cruise in Santorini

If you’re dipping your toes into sailing then this half-day excursion is the perfect option. With (all-inclusive) drinks flowing, set sail to some of Santorini’s hard-to-reach spots that make this trip truly unique.

Explore the crystal clear waters of Thirasia island, bathe in the Santorini hot springs (but be prepared for the fact they aren’t actually hot!), and enjoy a BBQ of fresh seafood on board your own luxury catamaran – yours for the half-day anyway!

Believe us when we say you’ll be coming back for more sailing experiences!

#2 Private Sunset Catamaran Cruise – Best For Romance

a catamaran in santorini at sunset

Set sail on a luxurious Lagoon 450 on this private sunset cruise. This is one of the most romantic options on this list and is perfect for a honeymoon or special anniversary.

You’ll visit some incredible sights like the famous Red Beach, and White Beach and have the chance to swim in volcanic waters.

Because this is a private sailing trip it’s more flexible and tailor-made, so make sure you let the crew know your preferences beforehand. Obviously, the weather will determine the route but with only your party on board, you will have a say in how long you stay places and where you go.

Another highlight of this trip is the delicious freshly prepared BBQ which you can enjoy onboard as the sun sets over the horizon. Bliss.

#3 Best Budget Catamaran Cruise In Santorini

This is one of the cheapest catamaran cruises in Santorini and is perfect for the budget traveller who wants to experience a little of Santorini’s glamour.

You can choose between a day cruise or a sunset cruise, both of which include stops at Red Beach, White Beach, or Mesa Pigadia Beach, and the Santorini Hot Springs.

The crew will provide a Greek BBQ onboard which you can enjoy from the deck of the catamaran, after you’ve built up an appetite swimming in the crystal clear waters.

The trip is capped at 14 people onboard, so even though it won’t be quite the same as a private cruise, it will still feel intimate and uncrowded.

#4 Semi-Private Greek Catamaran Cruise

people sailing on a catamaran in santorini

This cruise packs in some of the most sightseeing stops of all the trips, which makes it a great option if you’re short on time in Santorini and keen to see it all.

Your 5-hour journey will start on the water, and you can select the daytime cruise or the sunset tour. After arriving at the marina, board the catamaran and sail off into the Greek Aegean Sea.

One of the first stops is at the famous Red Beach, known for its red cliffs and sand. Next, you’ll pass by White Beach, which is only reachable by boat and is a sight to behold.

Arrive at Mesa Pigadia’s bay and enjoy swimming and snorkeling there. Explore the volcanic caldera after sailing past Indian Rock and the Venetian Lighthouse.

Kameni Palea hot springs are the perfect final stop for a swim in the naturally therapeutic sulfur-rich waters.

#5 Experience A Power Catamaran

For something a little different (and pretty special) head out on a luxury power catamaran . These things are true luxury, and you will get a 5* experience aboard.

This private excursion can take up to 8 people, making it perfect for a group trip. You can make your own schedule with the help of the skipper, who will advise you of the best places to go with the weather on the day.

You can stick to the tourist spots or head off to explore the hidden sights of Santorini. Visit Saint Nicolas and try cliff jumping, explore Armeni and Eftapedes, sail across the caldera, or gaze at the Indian Rock & Venetian Lighthouse.

Santorini is your oyster! And this is a bucket list experience.

Multi-Day Sailing Trips Around Santorini

sail of a sailboat

If you’re looking for the adventure of a lifetime then there really is no better way to see Greece’s best islands than by sailboat.

These multi-day sailing trips are all based around Santorini, but also take you to some of Greece’s other incredible islands. You’ll probably want at least 4 days in Santorini , so consider booking some land time on either end too.

Having sailed around all of these islands, we can honestly say you will not regret booking a multi-day sailing trip in Greece.

You will have the time of your life, and make memories worth boasting about for years to come. Living, eating, and even sleeping on a sailboat are all such unique experiences.

You can thank us later!

🏆 Our Top Pick 🏆 Sailing the remote Cyclades islands

#6 Mykonos To Santorini

Sailing from Mykonos to Santorini

Length: 8 Days

Start your trip in Mykonos, a Greek island famed for its vibrant nightlife and chic waterfront bars. It’s also the jumping-off point for trips to the famous island of Delos, where you’ll find the most amazing ancient Greek ruins.

Next, onto Amorgos. This is many people’s favourite hidden gem in the Cyclades, and you’ll have the chance to explore the famous 11th-century monastery of Moni Hozoviotissis wedged between the cliffs.

You’ll also have the chance to visit the islands of Ios, Naxos, and some of the Cyclade’s smaller and more remote islands, where you can spend your days relaxing on deck, sunbathing on white sand beaches or perfecting your dives into crystal clear waters.

The trip ends in Santorini, where you’ll sail the stunning coastline and have the chance to explore Greece’s most famous island.

#7 Explore Santorini, Mykonos, Ios, Paros, And Naxos For 10 Days

10 day sailing trip in the Cyclades

Length: 10 Days

10 days is the perfect amount of time to completely relax into life aboard. This trip starts and ends in Santorini, but gives you the chance to see more than just Greece’s most popular haunt.

Visit the party capital of Mykonos, the white sand beaches of Ios, ancient ruins on Naxos, and the island of Paros, one of our absolute favourites.

This incredible trip gives you the chance to totally unwind, with the wind powering you from island to island, the sea lapping against the hull, and the warm, inviting waters at each anchorage.

#8 Sailing The Remote Cyclades Islands

Sailing the remote islands in the Cyclades

If we were lucky enough to head off on a catamaran for 10 days then this is the adventure we would pick.

The more remote islands around Santorini were some of our absolute favourites when we explored this area on our rickety, old sailboat and we would love to go back and see them on something a little fancier!

This tour is great because you’ll have the opportunity to experience a bit of everything.

The incredible but crowded Santorini, the stunning Venetian architecture in Naxos, the nightlife on the famous island of Mykonos, and then our favourites, the Small Cyclades islands which feel as though they have been left untouched.

Enjoy freshly caught seafood (perhaps off your own boat!), local wine, and a more relaxed way of life on this awesome 10-day sailing tour.

#9 Sail From Athens To Santorini

Sail from Athens to Santorini in a catamaran

Length: 15 Days

Rather than flying straight into Santorini or catching the rather unromantic ferry there, why not take a leisurely 15 days to reach the famous island?

Starting in Athens, this tour will take you island hopping, stopping on incredible Greek islands, and to beautiful anchorages until you reach the show-stopper itself, Santorini.

Some of the best sailing we’ve done in Greece has been around these islands, and we can’t imagine a better holiday than being taken from place to place without a care in the world while sunbathing on the deck and watching for dolphins.

Of course, if you prefer you can have a turn at helming or working the lines and get a feel for what sailing is really like.

If you’re not hooked on boat life after 15 days then we don’t know what will tempt you!

Top Tips For Taking A Catamaran Trip In Santorini

We know all about sailing in Greece, and we can’t wait to share some of our top tips so you feel more prepared for your adventure.

  • Do sailors get seasick ? Sure, all the time. Take seasickness tablets before you go and don’t let forgetfulness ruin your trip.
  • You’ll want to consider what to wear sailing (and what not to wear sailing!) before you head out to sea.
  • Summer is one of the best times to visit Greece , and you’ll certainly get great weather for a catamaran tour in Santorini. You might also get some strong winds, but the skipper will be able to tell you whether a trip is possible and there are lots of sheltered bays to visit!
  • If you’re spending a few days on board then check out what to pack for a sailing trip .
  • Get an idea of what life is like onboard by watching some of the best YouTube sailing channels !

Cruising in santorini.

The views were amazing! Everyone was so helpful. The Greek lunch was very good. We had a great time!

I have a 5 star because my wife had a problem and got sea sick very quickly and the staff went over and beyond to help. It’s nothing to do with the cruise, my have has the motion sickness and we thought to give it a try but it didn’t work. The captain called and made arrangement for a speed boat to come, we got off the cruise and sent back to the port. At the port a taxi was waiting for us to take us to the hotel but my wife wasn’t in a situation to move so we let the taxi go and after an hour or so lying there, she finally felt better and we went back to the hotel. I’d like to thank you Paolo the Italian captain for sorting us out and the cruise company for all the arrangements. I wish we could continue but can’t fight the biology sometimes. Highly recommend this cruise and the plan they laid out for the passengers!
