Santorini Catamaran Cruise – 5-Hour Private Sailing Experience

We were picked up in very comfortable private transportation from our hotel in Oia and taken to the port on the other side of the island. At the port we met Ellie and Thomas where they welcomed us on their catamaran and told us what to expect for the day. The day was better than we could have imagined. We stopped to view various locations on the island (red beach, white beach etc) and Ellie gave us a nice explanation of them all. We then stopped to swim at their “private” beach location and ate a fabulous home cooked lunch made by Ellie. My husband and I loved the food! Ellie and Thomas were so welcoming the entire time and even took plenty of photos and videos of us throughout the trip. We ended the trip with another swimming session around other boats and watched the sunset. It was a spectacular day and well worth the money for a private boat experience! We highly recommend this tour!

Perfect experience for private 4 hour sunset catamaran tour from Vlychada beach in the south of Santorini. Arranged through master organizer Markella. She also picked us up from our hotel and delivered us to the “crew”- husband and wife team Thomas and Eleftheria (Elli). Thomas is the captain of the ship, and Eleftheria is the captain of everything else, including Thomas! We had a terrific few hours, with great hospitality from Eleftheria and excellent skippering and information from Thomas. I would add that we went to the additional expense of booking a private tour rather than spots on a shared tour, and felt rewarded with Thomas and Eleftheria- they make it feel like a special, family moment as it is clear that they love both the place (ask Eleftheria about her “pets”) and hosting people. It all felt special and went without a hitch. Great experience.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an amazing private boat trip from start to finish! Everything was perfectly organized, and the experience felt really special. We stopped three times to swim in beautiful, crystal-clear water, and each stop was even better than the last. The food on board was absolutely delicious—fresh, plentiful, and one of the highlights of the day. The cabin crew were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout the trip. Their kindness and professionalism made the whole experience even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for a relaxing, fun, and memorable day on the water, I can’t recommend this trip enough. It was worth every penny, and we’d definitely book again!

We had an absolutely fantastic boat experience! Markella was our contact at reception, Vaso handled the transfers, and Thomas and Elli were the couple who looked after us on board — a truly wonderful, warm pair who genuinely cared that we had a great time. The food was delicious and homemade, and the whole excursion felt fresh and lovely from start to finish. The boat was in excellent condition, and it was clear Thomas and Elli love what they do. Its lower profile is what makes it unique, you sit much closer to the water than on any other catamaran in the harbor, which was a real delight. They only do private tours, which we warmly recommend. They went the extra mile for us and were always present, attentive, and honest. My husband and I can’t recommend reaching out to them enough.

We had a wonderful sunset cruise with Thomas and Elli. We were picked up from our hotel and brought straight to the port to begin our boat cruise. They offered unlimited soft drinks, wine and beer along with a fresh home cooked meal by Elli. She made tuna orzo, Greek salad and a sausage dish, with some bread on the side and it was all absolutely delicious. 12/10 food, WOW! They took us to view the different beaches on the island and offered photos at each spot for us. We got to snorkel at two different locations and then watch the sunset from the sea. It was one of our favourite experiences in Santorini! They were both so friendly and made us feel right at home! We would highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a unique private experience! Thanks Thomas and Ellie!
