Santorini Private Catamaran Cruise With Bbq, Open Bar & Transfers

Captain Leo, George and Julia of the Seven Seas were amazing! They were friendly, attentive, accommodating and professional. They worked as a team to make sure every guest was comfortable and enjoying the experience. George provided a short history of Santorini and the surrounding islands. The food they made on the spot was spectacular! It definitely exceeded everyone’s expectations. It was truly made with love as they put it. They made my 50th birthday celebration a very memorable one. A BIG Thank You to all of you!

Fantastic cruise! The crew was amazing, the lunch was beyond delicious! They accommodated last minute add ons and transportation after the cruise. Can’t say enough good things about this company!

What can I say about this experience? From start to finish the service was first class. All of the crew were magnificent with Giulia, our hostess very informative, welcoming, super friendly and hard working to ensure a great trip. Stops at the interesting sites, swimming time and great food. What a fabulous way to experience a Santorini sunset! Fabulous time!! Thanks all..

OMG! If you are looking for a truly memorable and luxurious experience, look no further! From the pick up to drop off, these folks made us feel like celebrities. The boat was epic, the food was world class, but the best part was the staff, they are world class, these guys really know how to do it right!

We took a private sunset cruise with Spiridakos Sailing this past August 2026. It was an amazing experience for our family. We traveled with 10 people, including 3 children and older parents. The boat was beautiful and very comfortable for everyone. The trip around Santorini was breathtaking. We enjoyed jumping off the boat and all of the fun sea toys they had available for use. Watching the sunset from the cruise was the highlight of our trip. The crew was so much fun, played the best music and was incredibly thoughtful. The food on the boat was great too. Even my 7 year old raved about the grilled chicken. Highly recommend for a family trip! It's the only way to go in Santorini!

This operation really has it together! From pick up to drop off, everything was literally perfection. They picked us up right where our tender boat dropped us off. We boarded the most beautiful catamaran and met the 4 crew members. Yes, 4 crew members and 4 of us! Vito and Xena were the deck crew that took care of us all day. I can’t remember our captain’s name. They let me hook up to the speaker so we could listen to our playlists. We stopped first to see a cute little church on the water and a sunken ferry boat. The water is so clear you could see straight to the bottom. Then we stopped in the hot springs. They definitely aren’t “hot”…..but they are warmer than the sea water. It was a pretty cool experience, but not really what I had pictured. Vito told us all about the island and the volcanos. He was very knowledgeable and his English was great. We stopped at a black beach where you could swim, snorkel, or paddleboard to the beach if you wanted. They also have really nice floaties to relax in. Again, super clear water. Not many fish to see, but that’s expected in Greece. We then moved to another beautiful swimming spot. They cooked our lunch on a grill right on the back of the boat. I think there was enough food for 10 people. Bread, cheese, salad, grape leaves, pasta, chicken, sausage, and shrimp! Xena did the cooking. She’s an amazing cook! It was one of the best meals, and you couldn’t beat the view while we ate! They kept the white wine and beer coming all day. Our glasses were never empty! We stopped one last place to swim where there were lots of other boats moored up so that was fun. Back to the dock, said our goodbyes and a driver took us back to town. This is where the day took a turn (at no fault of the tour operator). Cars can drive down to the dock where the tender boats are, so you options are to ride a donkey, walk for 30 minutes down very steep/uneven steps, or take the cable car. My husband walked in flip flops. He made it, but he said he would never do it again in flip flops. He would if he had tennis shoes on and 2 beers:). The rest of us took the cable car and the line was really long. There is no way of telling how long they wait is when you get in line. We waited about an hour, but I heard the wait can get to 3 or 4 hours. If I had it to do over I would have brought tennis shoes and walked down, or rode a donkey, but I felt sorry for them :(.

Great catamaran boat, lavatory, and views during the sail. Crew was outstanding and meal was gourmet level.

Best thing I did in Santorini!! Aylin was the sweetest guide and SO FUN. They all brought the best vibes and the food is THE BEST. If you do one thing in Santorini it has to be this! We went on the caldera and it was the best time!

We had a fantastic experience with the Captain and the crew. They were not only attentive but also very knowledgeable about Santorini. Thank you so much for an amazing time. They paid special attention to the teenagers and kids, and the kids did not want the cruise to end. We truly appreciate it.

We had the most amazing morning with the crew on the Caldera! From our driver who picked us up to start our day, to our host Julia, and the chef, captain, and crew-we were treated with top notch, white glove service from start to finish. We booked a private tour for just my husband and I, craving exactly that-privacy. The boat is big, even with a crew of 4, we felt like we were given our space.. but our glasses were never left empty or anything we needed not tended to immediately. Julia was a wonderful guide and gave us so many nice tips and info about the island, she was so lovely and sweet! We even talked about how much we both missed our dogs back home, her kindness always felt authentic. And the food? OMG- easily the best we've had in Greece (no but seriously, my husband said the shrimp was the best he's had yet on this trip.. and we've traveled Greece for the last 2 weeks). They were super accommodating to my dietary needs (vegan), and there was so much food... we left stuffed! The dolmas and grilled eggplant, 10/10! All the stops we made were lovely, with plenty of swimming and photo ops! The boat was beautiful, new, modern, and comfortable-we couldn't have asked for more. 5 hours of sailing felt like the perfect amount of time. Thank you crew of Caldera, we can't wait to recommend you to friends, family, and our travel advisors! We hope to see you again soon! -Sara and Don Cowan

We had a fabulous day on the water with the crew of the Caldera. The drinks were plentiful and the lunch was delicious. We all agreed this was the best excursion we did this trip.

This experience was the highlight of our time in Santorini!! Our catamaran from Spirdakos was in pristine condition. Our crew- Yanis, Vito and Zina were fantastic. They were professional and attended to our every need. We saw amazing scenery. Had several stops for swimming and they cooked us a fantastic lunch- one of our best meals on the trip. We saw lots of catamarans from this company on the water and they are clearly a very well run, organized company with amazing boats and great crews. I usually have sea sickness and had none on this boat. This will be one of our best memories of our trip to Greece. Worth every penny!! I can’t say enough about how amazing it was. And our driver Kostas that got us back and forth to the dock was awesome too!! Gave us some history of the island and was also waiting for us after our boat ride. Highly recommend this excursion!!!

Everything and everyone was excellent and so friendly. Lunch was fantastic and the crew were great as was the driver that took us to and from the ports

Awesome experience. Transport to and from hotel to dock. Boats are very well maintained and crew was great. Scenery was beautiful and swimming was very pleasant. Lunch was delicious. Would book with them again. Was the teen kids' favorite part of the whole vacation.

Awesome experience. Couldn’t have asked for a better time. The crew was awesome edi, Zina, and Vito were great. Would strongly recommend to others

Remarkable experience - the crew was so friendly and helpful, the sights of Santorini’s coast were amazing. Would recommend this to anyone.

We had a really fun day aboard with the crew (Alex, George and Faez), and communication/customer service by the company was excellent. I’ve gone before with a “public” group, but having the catamaran to just the 12 of us was awesome! Lunch was excellent - freshly prepared Greek salad and spaghetti, grilled chicken, shrimp and sausage, garlic bread. Endless white wine, beer and soft drinks - and fun swim stops. Snorkels, towels and freshwater shower on board. I highly recommend!

Excellent experience! Everything was prefect! The boat, the crew, the food….even though the weather was a bit chilly, we still had an amazing time!

Our private catamaran tour in Santorini was perfect from start to finish! Our driver was friendly and shared a lot of cool information about the island. Then, the crew of three sailors went above and beyond to make the day unforgettable! They were made us feel completely comfortable the entire time. They took tons of great photos for us so we could just relax and enjoy the stunning views. And the lunch… WOW! It was truly a feast! This experience was the absolute highlight of our trip.

My friend and I did a private catamaran day cruise and it was a truly amazing experience! The private cruise was 100% worth it if you have the budget. I feel like we truly lucked out with our crew that made the whole experience unforgettable. I can’t recommend this experience enough and that is really thanks to our crew of Petros, Isidora and Chef Adik on the Caliente catamaran. What made it even more memorable was that we got to truly sail for a good part of our cruise instead of just using the catamaran’s motor. In the past, I’ve been a bit nervous about sailing, but this has totally changed my mind. We wished we could have stayed on the boat all day. We started at the very bottom of Santorini, sailed past the red and white beaches and the Akrotiri lighthouse up in to the caldera, where we got to swim to and in the hot springs. Then we sailed to Thirasia where we were able to anchor in some of the most beautiful water we’ve ever seen(!!). This was where we had the lunch that Chef Adik had prepared while on the boat (he was cooking throughout the cruise until we stopped for lunch). And then we got to swim again in the waters off Thirasia before we VERY sadly had to head back to the port. Thank you Spiridakos Sailing and to Petros and crew for what is definitely one of my all time favorite travel memories!

Crew Petros, Alex, Fotini, and Atik were fantastic. They opened the sails, had great food, tons of facts about Santorini history. Very perfect experience, highly recommend

What a wonderful outing we had. The boat and staff were phenomenal. It was one of the best meals we had in Greece. I would take this trip daily if I could! BOOK directly with the boat company. Viator screwed up the reservation and they are trying to charge me for it. Just call the company directly and you won’t regret it.

Great service. We loved the food and drinks. Very Knowledgeable and very fun staff. They made sure everyone had fun. Enjoyed it all. Wonderful and Amazing experience.

Amazing crew, great experience and stunningly beautiful scenery! The team was super fun and shared there love and knowledge of Santorini with us

Amazing experience. Very attentive workings. Always willing to help/check on us. Went above and beyond to make our cruise very enjoyable

We had the most amazing half day cruise with Spiradakos while in Santorini. Maria and the whole crew were fantastic- friendly, welcoming, attentive, knowledgeable and fun! We were traveling for our honeymoon as a gay couple and felt completely comfortable the entire time. The food was also some of the best we’ve had in Greece. We can’t recommend them enough!

The crew was fantastic. From the driver who picked us up at our hotel to the crew onboard Marios, Stratos and Alamin were outstanding hosts, tour guides and cooks. What a great day in a very lovely place. Cannot wait to return and request these same guys again. Outstanding!

We went with the private tour of 10 people on a relatively new catamaran, and had the most amazing experience. They provided options as to which islands we wanted to see, stopped at 2 places for a swim, and provided heaps of bbq food for our dinner. They also catered for allergies and separately cooked the food first for those that had allergies. The staff were excellent, always checked on us and constantly offered us drinks and whether we were all ok. Thoroughly recommend you do the private tour if you have a big group, even though it costs more 👍

A big and warm "thank you" to Maria and her team (Ilias, Massoud and the Captain Petros) on board of the Caldera catamaran; we had a wonderful time enjoying that fabulous cruise through the Caldera, with every detail about history, 3 stops for swimming and snorkeling, a delicous barbecue and last but not least the best view ever on the sunset. Thanks again for their perfect services and kindness. Hope to see them again! Warm wishes to all.

Our experience on the Seven Seas - Spiridakos private catamaran cruise in Santorini couldn’t have been any more spectacular! We were greeted at the pier and guided over to the area where our catamaran awaited. Captain Endri, George, and Bohan greeted us immediately with such welcoming Greek hospitality! We settled in and began our relaxing journey. George did a fantastic job of entertaining us with the history and stories about the area, and he threw bits of food into the water to draw the fish closer while we snorkeled. We’ve snorkeled in many different areas of the world and the locations this crew took us to were unlike anything we’ve ever experienced before! They took such great care of us — always making sure we were having a fantastic time, that we had something to drink, and that we were comfortable. We never had to ask for a single thing! And the food they cooked for us was an absolutely delicious feast — honestly tastier than the restaurants we ate in while we were in Athens! Our kids (15, 13, and 10) simply adored George and had the best time dancing to ABBA songs and doing the Macarena with him as we sailed back into port. We saw other passengers on different catamarans start dancing as well as our music and joyous energy sailed past them — I know they were wishing they were on our boat! This crew provided us with an experience we will never, ever forget. We’ll be booking with Captain Endri, George, and Bohan again in a heartbeat for our next getaway. What an incredible, family-bonding Seven Seas Spiridakos experience—thank you so much, team!

Wonderful private boat tour in Santorini! We were on a cruise and only had one day in Santorini, so we decided to explore the region and watch the sunset on a beautiful boat trip. We decided on Spiridakos, and it was excellent! They were super punctual and attentive to our cruise return times. The boat was excellent, safe, and the captain was experienced. Attentive and friendly, they took us to beautiful diving spots, off the beaten path where all the tourists go. The sunset in Oiá was beautiful and unforgettable! I highly recommend it! 100%!

We experienced an amazing day with Captain Leo and Maria exploring Santorini! The boat was immaculate and comfortable. The swimming stops and different beaches / cliffs we saw were gorgeous - this is the best way to see the island! Marie took excellent care of us and the lunch stop was amazing! My family really enjoyed the trip, beautiful and relaxing - highly recommend!

Our experience with Spiridakos Sailing Cruises was fantastic. Neda, Ilias, and Masud took amazing care of us on our private catamaran cruise. We felt like VIPs the entire time, and of course the amazing sights, swimming, and food cooked by Masud made it an experience we will never forget!

This is a must do! The staff are amazing, the BBQ food is delicious. We had 3 opportunities to swim, we were so well looked after. Scenery was stunning. Worth every penny as the staff made it such fun and so special

My family and I had the most fun we had on our entire vacation. My kids were having so much fun they asked if we could to it again tomorrow. The entire staff on our boat was so nice, they would make jokes and met our needs. Irini was the perfect host - she was sweet and caring. We felt like family by the time we left. We one hundred percent loved this experience.

The team was incredibly helpful and attentive to all of our needs. We were impressed by the entire operation and spots that they showed us. The food was just as special as the views.

Our family of four had an incredible experience on our catamaran cruise yesterday! The staff was so fun and professional - they told us about all the parts of the island we were passing, were attentive to all our needs with food, beverages, towels, moving about the boat, delicious lunch preparation, snorkeling gear, etc. Because we had a private tour, our captain was able to take us further to an island with crystal clear waters where we snorkeled and had a quiet and more private experience. We highly recommend this excursion!

What an amazing day! The staff was so lovely, and couldn’t have made our experience more perfect. They were attentive to everyone’s needs, and made us all feel like we were their only clients. All nine people in our family had the best time, and are so happy we chose to spend the day with this wonderful crew on their beautiful catamaran. It was an idyllic way to experience Santorini.

My family of four with two teenagers took a private catamaran tour. There was a crew of four. The hosts Christus and Vito were incredible and welcoming. We saw all the sites listed in the itinerary and Christus gave descriptions and history of each. They kept everyone safe, kept full drinks in hand, took photos. We swam at 4 of the sites. The meal was incredible and more than we could eat. This was an incredible experience. Would definitely recommend.

We had the best time on our private catamaran. The boat was fantastic - there were only 4 of us and there was so much space inside and outside. There were 2 bathrooms and 2 bedrooms. The crew was phenomenal - they were constantly making sure we were ok, bringing us towels and drinks and made us the best lunch. I can’t say enough about how kind the crew was. The weather was perfect and we enjoyed a relaxing boat day in Santorini.

I could not have imagined a better experience! Stelios and the crew took great care of us. We now have memories that will last a lifetime. We are so grateful!!

We had a fantastic time! We absolutely would come back and do a cruise with this company again. Our crew, Captain Vasia, Fotini, and Masud were not only fun & professional, but they made us feel very safe and comfortable the entire time. Our driver, Sakis, was also great - he was prompt, professional, and a great driver. We loved our catamaran cruise and can’t thank everyone enough for such a great time!!

We had a fantastic catamaran cruise! The crew was really great, and the meals were delicious. We weren't disappointed at all.

My husband and I booked the private sunset tour and it was absolutely wonderful. Warning-the “hot spring” was VERY cold with slightly warm spots when we went at the end of March. But it was still very much worth it! And the meal was so delicious. Highly recommend!

This was an absolutely fabulous experience. Our driver picked us up on time, the staff were very professional, courteous, and friendly, and the lunch they prepared was absolutely delicious. I would definitely do this trip again and recommend to family and friends.

Even though our trip was in March,a little colderd,and we started the day with rain, Alex and Anri made it a highlight of our holiday.The were positive and friendly,encouraged us to have a swim and the luch was simply spectacular-highly recommended!!

My wife and I were not sure what to expect. First the catamaran was bigger and nicer than we thought. The wind and weather cooperated that day and it was awesome! The crew was very friendly and pampered us the whole time. The views were just spectacular. It’s hard to put into words. I will upload photos that will help.

The crew was outstanding and made the trip for us! They were very friendly and attentive. The views were amazing and the ride was smooth. Believe it or not, the bbq on the boat was one of my favorite meals I had while in Greece! I would highly recommend this cruise, it was my favorite part of Santorini!

This is the best private tour experience we’ve ever had, or likely will ever have. Thank you, Maria, Anthe, and Nobe (sorry if names mis-spelled).
