A perfect experience with an amazing view! - Our experience on the Bella Vita was amazing! The tour was incredible and so interesting, the crew were able to give us some insightful information about where we were which was really fun to discover! As well as being so insightful, the crew were amazing and helped us with anything we needed, food, drinks, questions and photos!! We had enough time to have a dip in the sea and we were given everything we needed! As i’m not the strongest swimmer, pool floats were available so everyone could enjoy a swim if they wanted which was perfect! The group we had on board were also lovely and it was so nice to get to know people from different places! The ambience and atmosphere were perfect when it came to the sunset, with light music playing while the incredible view of the sun going down was perfection! As well as food cooked by the crew being delightful! Overall was an amazing experience and we’d reccomend anyone to do it especially with Caldera Yachting!

Nice family experience - A beautiful experience on board the Bella Vita catamaran. The crew was very attentive, always willing to help at all times. Beautiful views, and dinner on board very well. They prepared it immediately and we never lacked drink. We also agreed with a fantastic group, which made the experience unbeatable.

Great experience in Santorini - Fantastic experience at reasonable prices. As a couple we were picked up at the hotel by the driver Menelaos, a kind and excellent driver, who gave us many ideas for getting around the island as best as possible and skipper the traffic! The tour lasted 5 hours with two splendid spots for diving and snorkeling. Abundant, typical and good dinner, we particularly liked the eggplant sauce. The sunset at sea was exceptional, Captain Kosta always took care to make sure we had an excellent view, and the music selection was also really adapted at the various moments of the cruise!!! The crew of the catamaran Bella Vita was kind and ready to satisfy our needs! Next time I would like to reply with them! Thanks for the perfect day! Vote 10

Beautiful sea views - The cruise was a lot of fun and it was great to see such beautiful views! Some of the beaches we passed are only accessible by boat so it made the experience even more special. The dinner was also very good and a nice spread.

Wonderful family memories - Our family of 4 (2 teens) took the Caldera Blue Cruise and it was fabulous!!! The captain and first mates were all so accommodating, helpful and FUN! The food served on board the boat was delicious and cooked there on the boat. They stopped multiple times for us to swim in the amazing sea and jump off the boat and take pics etc. We had about 12 people on our boat and all were fun and so nice! Highly recommend. We spent 10 days in Greece 🇬🇷 and my husband and son said this was the highlight! (Also served wonderful white wine that everyone enjoyed!)
