Climb aboard the 74-foot Ocean Voyager or the 80-foot Tahiti catamaran for a 5-hour cruise around Santorini in the Aegean Sea. Set off on a journey of discovery that will first take you to the hot springs, then the Red Beach, and finally the White Beach. Swim and snorkel and tuck into a delicious meal onboard. Start your adventure with a comfortable hotel pickup and set sail for the Hot Springs for your first dip in the sulfurous sea. Next stop will be at the beautiful Red Beach to swim and snorkel for 30 minutes. Third stop to the White Beach area, only accessible from the sea, for more swimming and snorkeling in the shadow of the towering white cliffs. Onboard the catamaran, savor a barbecue supper of salads and grilled meat and veggie options. Sail back inside the crescent-shaped Caldera. (Sunset option) Stay afloat and watch undisturbed the sun fading into the horizon. Disembark at the port.

"It was a fun and relaxing boat ride with friendly people, unlimited drinks and beautiful scenery everywhere you looked! The one suggestion is to serve a few snacks since dinner is served later into the trip. The dancing was so much fun and our guides joined in the fun! Thanks!"

Questions guests ask before booking this tour
GetYourGuide lists the exact inclusions on the booking page — typically snorkel gear and life vests, drinks (often open bar), light food or lunch on the longer trips, and crew. Hotel pickup is sometimes included depending on the operator. Check the operator's inclusion list before booking; this comparison page surfaces the headline product, not every detail.
This tour starts at From $70 per person on GetYourGuide on our last refresh. Prices vary by date, season, and group size, and private-charter options are priced by the boat rather than per head. Click the Book button to see live pricing for your dates.
Most tours on GetYourGuide offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure. Look for the cancellation policy on the GetYourGuide tour page before booking — it's flagged prominently on the offer card.
Typically local rum, beer, soft drinks, and water — unlimited during the cruise. Premium spirits are usually a paid extra. Pace yourself: wind and sun hide intoxication and the deck moves.
May – October (peak July–August). Shoulder months (april, may, october (lower prices, smaller crowds)) are the best-value window — smaller crowds, lower prices, mostly the same conditions. Avoid november – march (most operators reduced or paused).
10 % cash; service sometimes included on private charters. Cash to the captain at the end of the trip — they share with the deckhands. Service is sometimes included on private charters; check the booking confirmation.
You charter a sailing catamaran (typically a Lagoon 42-50 or Bali 4.x) for 4-14 days with a captain (skippered charter) or, if you have an ICC / RYA Day Skipper certification, bareboat. The boat moves between islands at 6-8 knots; you sleep on board between 4-12 guests. Typical Cyclades loop: Athens → Kea → Kythnos → Serifos → Sifnos → Milos → Santorini. Best window May–June and September.
Reef-safe sunscreen recommended, less strictly enforced than the Caribbean. Pick up a mineral (zinc-oxide) sunscreen before you board; on-board sales are usually marked up.
