Highlights
  • Thirassia - Not even a mile away the romantic settlement of Oia, lies the island of Thirassia, for which it seems that time has stopped in another era.
    An amazing opportunity for every guest to swim and snorkel at the turquoise waters of Thirassia Island’s bay which is almost always calm.
  • Palea Kameni - The volcano of Santorini. The one that erupted in 1.600 BC and created the amazing caldera of Santorini. The black rocks look like crystal where a dive at the therapeutic waters of the Sulfur Springs.
  • Nea Kameni - After Thirassia Island we continue our cruise to the Nea Kameni islet. One of the two volcanic islands that are preserved until today, filled with black rocks made from lava, yellow ones covered with sulfur and white rocks covered with ash from the volcano’s eruption. Diving into the volcano’s waters is an amazing experience since you find yourself floating due to the amount of salt in the water which is way above the average.
  • Lighthouse - You are at the south side of Santorini where at the very end the Lighthouse of Santorini is located, a charming lighthouse tower that “waves” back at sailors that are passing by its bay.
  • Mesa Pigadia Beach - One of the most beautiful secluded beaches of Santorini comes up next. Surrounded by rocks this black beach has crystal clear waters and it is lovely to swim or snorkel here.
  • White Beach - The beach colors change as your cruise passes from the Red to the White Beach. This beach is accessible only by boat so get ready to see yet another coastal miracle of Santorini.
  • Red Beach - The impressive volcanic Red Beach is the perfect representation of what the volcanic eruption created in Santorini’s landscape. Snorkeling at the magnificent turquoise waters and sightseeing at Red beach’s scarlet rocks from aboard. This stop is also about gastronomy on board, an unforgettable dinner experience made with the finest ingredients. Do not forget to take photos!
  • Santorini Old Harbor - You will have the chance to view from the sea and take memorable photos at one of the oldest ports of Santorini located at the center of the island.
  • Armeni Bay - The guests will have the chance to witness the oldest port of the Island. The last brief stop before watching the magnificent sunset of Santorini.

Great day on the water - Great great day on the water. There were only 10 of us on the ship. There were only 3 staff and they treated us fantastically. Made sure we always had drinks . Very comfortable on the boat. Lots of room. They prepared for us a fantastic meal with fresh fish., bbq chicken , salads and other foods. We stopped at a couple of stops to swim. Loved the water. Great views while we were boating. Staff gave some information about the island . And surrounding islands. Can’t say enough about the wonderful day we had on the water. We were also picked up from our Airbnb by a fantastic driver Nini. What a driver. I say this because he was very courteous and he had to drive backwards at one point and wow he is good You can’t go wrong with booking with this company

Truly wonderful and memorable evening! - We had a late afternoon/ evening sailing on board the boat Serendipity with around 10 others. Fantastic experience and great way to see the island from another perspective. During the 5hr cruise we enjoyed 3 stops for swimming in the sea and were provided with towels, snorkels and masks and a fantastic bbq! Wonderful quality food (my husband had sea bream and ENORMOUS prawns/langoustines and I had a moist and beautifully bbq chicken skewer etc) and knowledgeable and friendly crew- George etc. My only regret was that I wanted to do it all again the next day and spend every evening sailing the high seas! Thank you guys for a truly memorable evening! ❤️🙌

Highlight of our Greece trip by far! - We just got home from our trip and we're already dreaming about going back to sail with Kostas, Denis and Fotini! Our catamaran voyage on the Carpe Diem was easily the highlight of our trip to Greece and we cannot recommend Santorini Sailing Center enough! Our group of 9 had the ship to ourselves and the crew were highly professional, attentive and informative. The drinks were flowing and our meal onboard was the best we had on our whole vacation - the fish was cooked to perfection and all of the other sides and dishes were just as excellent. It was an absolutely perfect day out on the water and we highly, highly recommend this excursion and once-in-a-lifetime (but hopefully not!) experience!

Best experience, almost felt like this shouldn’t end. - It was blissful, the journey started with pickup from our resort. The taxi was good. We reached the port on time and our cruise arrived on time. It was called margarita. We jumped on the cruise and that was immediately the beginning of the best ride. The crew was amazing, they explained everything, we stopped at some very good spots, so that people can jump off the cruise of swim. If you do not know how to swim, you might have to stay on cruise since the water is deep everywhere. The food was delicious with lot of good things. The drinks were good. We went on to visit the sunset and that felt like most amazing ride ever. And the view was simply breathtaking from the the cruise. If you come to santorini and donot try this cruise, then you are missing something. Thanks to the crew.

Amazing Sunset Catamaran Cruise - My wife and I made this a must do activity while in Santorini for our honeymoon. From the moment we arrived, the staff (3) was extremely welcoming & personable throughout our tour. We had unbelievable views of the entire island of Santorini and saw a once in a lifetime sunset while on the water. STAFF: The 3 member team on board was fantastic. The lead member was a fantastic tour guide, giving us all insightful nuggets about the history of the island as we trekked throughout the afternoon and evening. The captain was a fantastic cook, making us all a delicious BBQ dinner that was very accommodating to guests with allergies. There was also a private shuttle arranged by the company to pick up and drop off all guests at their hotels across the island. ACTIVITY: The 7+ hour catamaran ride included amazing views of the island and 4 different stops for swimming. Each stop was a unique place around Santorini and had some of the most beautiful water to swim in. FOOD & DRINK: Included with purchase was unlimited beer, wine, soft drinks & distilled water for over 7 hours of the cruise. This was an excellent way to treat the guests, giving you all types of refreshments for adults & even children! The dinner made by the captain was spectacular, including multiple appetizers, salads & a meat / seafood / vegetarian plate! AMENITIES: The catamaran provided towels for all guests so you do not have to bring your own! There were 2 bathrooms onboard which were clean & convenient to utilize all day & evening. The cabin & back deck were spacious and cozy. The front of the boat included plenty of seating with incredible views throughout the journey. FYI: The water can get rocky at times. We recommend you sit towards front of boat during these times because interior cabin / back of boat made people a little nauseous

Best thing to do on Santorini - These are the guys to go with! Great communication from the off. Transfer was simple felt looked after and safe at all times. We were on the catamaran Carpe Diem which was a beautiful boat to spend the afternoon on. Kostas the captain was friendly and toured us to all the best spots around Santorini. Fotini was an incredible hostess. So welcoming and never left you without a drink in hand! Denis was an absolute legend! Spoke us through the history and main points about each stopping place. Always had a good laugh with all the passengers and knew how to set the vibe with the tunes on the water. THE BEST WAY TO SEE THE ISLAND!

Excellent afternoon and evening sunset tour. Throughly recommended. - Excellent afternoon and evening excursion with plenty of swim stops and sunset finale. Carpe Diem 45’ catamaran with 16 guests and 3 crew - plenty of room for everyone. Towels provided for swimmers each individually folded ready for you each time you go in the water. Easy to get out of the water with platform at water level and steps below water line with fresh water wash-down shower available. Local beers, white wine and soft drinks regularly delivered around the boat by a friendly, professional and efficient crew. Plentiful pre-ordered food options; meat, fish or veggie offered with fresh salads and fruit - all BBQ’ed fresh on the back of the boat. Great experience thoroughly recommended. Great memories - thank you! Communication and tour confirmation very efficient, emails promptly responded to. Slight negatives: Pick up was late due to traffic, and driver was concerningly fast/dangerous trying to get to boat for departure time! Seats in minibus had broken seat backs and weren’t locked in upright position. Platform on boat showed signs of repair which meant it was only available for walking across not sunbathing!
