unbelievable views, amazing food, and fantastic vessel and crew - This was a fantastic way to see Santorini. The day ran so smoothly because of the professionalism of this company. The shuttle driver picked us up at our hotel exactly when promised and we were impressed with how nice the van was. Leather interior, power outlets, etc. upon arrival at the port, we boarded the catamaran within 10 minutes. The 3 crew were so friendly and welcoming. Even though our day had overcast skies, the views are absolutely breathtaking. Some of our group swam near the hot springs and said you could definitely feel varying temperatures in the water.
We were blown away when it was time for lunch. The captain grilled chicken and sausages while the crew prepared shrimp, mussels, Greek salad, rice, dips and prepared the table with linens and real plates and cutlery. The food was beyond delicious.
We would book this tour again and I highly recommend it.

The most amazing day! - We booked the sunset boat cruise and boarded at 2pm. Everything was perfect. The crew, the facilities, the food, the drinks, the views! My partner even spoke to the guys beforehand and they helped him with a sunset proposal! The whole team were just amazing and were part of the most special day of our lives! Our boat was called ‘Panorama’ and I honestly couldn’t recommend enough. Thankyou so much!

Amazing day on the Serenity with Caldera Yachting - My husband and I took the half day caldera cruise on the Serenity and everything was perfect! It started with a pick up by Filippas at our hotel in Fira. As he drove to the port, he was engaging and pointing out sights. We picked up 4 other guests and soon became fast friends. When we boarded the catamaran, the captain and his crew were very professional but also inviting and warm. They welcomed us onto their “home”. The captain, showing great love for his island, freely shared its history and culture. The scenery was amazing. We swam and snorkeled in the crystal clear sea, and ate a delicious BBQ lunch which was cooked while we were sailing. It was truly a 5 star day!!

A must do if you’re in Santorini! Swimming in the Mediterranean and enjoying great food! - This was hands down on the favorite things that my friend and I did on our whole trip. We were picked up right at our hotel and driven in a very comfortable van with the other passengers, upon arrival we were quickly escorted to our boat and given the safety briefing. Our captain and hosts were amazing! The boat was stunning, the swimming and snorkeling was so much fun! They grilled right on the boat and honestly the meal was phenomenal. Fresh salad, grilled chicken, sausage, shrimps and mussels along with a variety of dips.
The alcohol was always readily available but so was the water!
The thermal hot springs were not as hot as we expected but it was still a very cool experience to be swimming there.
Everyone was so wonderful and as I said, truly our favorite day!

Incredible experience - Recommended this trip at our apartment reception as the best way to enjoy the sunset and take in the views and volcano of santorini…. And we were not disappointed!
From the moment you set foot on board you are looked after like family with drinks flowing and a very attentive crew keeping us informed about the coastlines and various local sites, then after stopping for a swim in the ‘hot springs’ sulphur water we then headed back towards akrotiri where we enjoyed a fantastic spread of local food from the barbecue!
Another little swim after dinner and then settled in to watch the most beautiful sunset we have ever seen!
Cannot recommend this cruise enough it has left us with lifelong memories we will treasure!
