Sunset Sailing on the Red Catamaran. - Our captain was Adonis, the crew included Zisis, Tolis, Dimitris. We were on the red catamaran which was more of the party vessel. We stopped for swimming a few places including the Red Beach and the hot springs. The Adonis was informative and spoke clear English, and the crew did a good job with the music, vibe, and the food (which was quite tasty!). The sunset was really beautiful, definitely a good excursions!

Beautiful once in a lifetime experience, the crew makes it. - My partner and I booked the luxury sunset cruise with bbq, drinks, and pickup/dropoff. At first I regretted how expensive it was compared to other cruises, there are so many operators on Santorini with lovely catamarans, and does it really matter which? All can see the sunset. But when we actually got there - WOW - we were impressed. The pickup driver was exactly on time in an air conditioned sprinter van, took us steps down to the bay. The catamaran is huge - larger than the other offerings this company has. We had to be shuttled out to it on a smaller boat. What is important is it has lots of sun cover over two floors so even though it takes 20 people it feels like everyone can have separate private spaces. The food was pleasant, beer and wine great with lots of sofas and juice, and the staff are so kind and attentive. But what really made our evening was that the sunsets for last few days had been very cloudy. At sunset it started getting cloudy and fuzzy again and we all thought oh, we won’t really get the catamaran sunset but what can you do. Well, the staff stayed out an extra HOUR and the clouds did part for a BEAUTIFUL sunset. They did not have to do that. This was a 5 hour trip, but they stayed out much longer than they had scheduled, to make sure everyone got their once in a lifetime experience.

Best experience in Santorini - Amazing way to see Santorini! I booked this through "Get Your Guide" but wound up so lucky to have Sunset Oia be in charge of our tour. The boat was amazing, the crew was great. The sunset ended up being stunning. This is the BEST way to see the caldera. Our crew - Akis, Kristi, and Theodora - were amazing crew but also wonderful chefs. The food they provided (also unlimited drinks) was top notch. They also accommodate certain dietary issues (my wife is vegetarian, and I have some dairy issues). The sunset was one of the most beautiful I'd ever seen, and its hard to compare this to anything else. If you are in Santorini, just do this trip. It was well worth it!

Worth Every Moment! - The crew was amazing. Outstanding friendly, attentive and professional service. The food was amazing! Ice cold Mythos!!! The two swim sites were highlights for all of my family - loved the water and locations, both beautiful and refreshing! The sunset was great - mildly obscured but I’ll blame Zeus for that… Thank you to Isidore, Daniel & Thea for making our afternoon and evening so memorable. Our whole family were treated like VIPs.

Great service just watch out for the weather. - The pick-up at the hotel was on time, the crew of the boat (Adonis, Zisis, Ninos, and Meti) were amazing the food, the bar, the way they sail and the explanations of each place were great. In our case the weather was bad, so take a look on the weather forecast before reserving, but eventhough the crew did everything they could to make a great trip, they even provide blankets for the cold. The sightseeing were beautiful and they gave the time to do snorkel and jump into the ocean. In the hotsprings water was not so hot could be because the weather but we did felt some warm water in some parts, they warn us that we couldn't stay much in the water because of the sulfur in the water. The barbecue was really good. I definitely recommend it just watch out for the weather before booking.

Amazing Sunset Cruise with Amazing Crew - We sailed around Santorini on the Amorgos with Captain George and the crew Nicolas and Adrianna. They were amazing! The music, food, and superb hospitality were beyond what we expected. We were so impressed and had so much fun we booked another tour for the following day. You cannot come to Santorini and book a tour with them! I can't wait for my next trip to Greece.

Forget it ! - Unfortunately we had a bad experience with this company. They did not picked us up to take us to the Port as combined. Not even a message to explain the delay. As we asked they replied: we forget you, sorry. A taxi was provided and we arrived later at the Port . In a hurry we were included in a private group from Canada . As the catamaran was not at pier, a boat took us a little far to embark. The cruise was nice, but the group was not allowed to have lunch or snacks at the saloon, and there was no room for us at the deck table. Crew was ok, music was awful but good food and drinks. But, the marvelous sunset saved the day. Not recommended.

False Advertising and Lackluster Lunch - We recently took the "Gems" tour that stops at the hot springs, Red Beach, and White Beach. Let me start by saying that the weather was less than ideal—rainy and quite cold. While I've considered that in my review, the overall experience left much to be desired. Boarding: The cruise began with a pickup and transport to Ammoudi Bay for the catamaran. Upon boarding (in the rain), there wasn't much dry space to sit. Once the rain subsided a bit, the crew used many towels to dry the front of the boat, but it was a temporary fix. Hot Springs and Towel Situation: After our first swim at the hot springs, we were each given one towel. When we reached the next swimming stop, we were denied additional towels, stating that there was only one towel per guest. Several guests on board took multiple towels to keep themselves warm (it was freezing and raining). I was told when I was booking the excursion that towels would be provided; if I had known that only one towel was provided for multiple swim stops in the rain, I would have brought some from the hotel. They also never mentioned only one towel was provided. If it were a sunny day, I wouldn't have cared, but in the circumstance, maybe having a few more towels for the guest would have been considerate. The single towel I received was already soaked from the previous swim, and I had to use it as an umbrella because there wasn't enough covered space on the boat to escape the rain. BBQ Lunch: The crew spent a considerable amount (one hour) of time cooking our BBQ lunch. They asked for our protein preference, which I found odd for a buffet. When the food was finally ready, we were asked to vacate our spot because that's where the food was served. We made a plate each but couldn't find seating, so we went up to the captain's deck, which had seating and cover. However, we were told we weren't allowed there, forcing us to eat in the rain on the lower deck. When we finished and walked by the stairs leading to the upper deck, the captain was there smoking and chatting with several guests who were eating. I don't know why we weren't allowed to go up there. To make matters worse, the pork chops were dry, and the shrimp portion was laughable—just one small shrimp scooped onto my plate with a spoon by the crew. Service and Cleanliness: The crew spent most of the time after lunch washing and drying dishes. Additionally, the crew took turns smoking on the upper deck despite informing us that smoking was only allowed at the back of the boat. Disembarkation: When we finally docked, we were still soaking wet and had to walk through four other boats to reach the dock. We stepped through the side of our boat into another docked boat, and so forth. The water was not calm (the rain and wind). This would have been a significant challenge for anyone with mobility issues, as the boats were rocking and required climbing. We were not made aware of this before we booked this excursion. Overall, this experience was far from the advertised luxury. The cruise seemed more focused on a mediocre BBQ lunch that was neither enjoyable nor worth the hype. The lack of attention to passenger comfort and the disorganized nature of the service made it an unpleasant trip. I cannot recommend this cruise, especially not as a luxury experience.
