Fantastic day out. - Fantastic day! Crew member Alexander kept his word and reserved us one of the sunbeds on board - well worth requesting one of these! Trips to 2 beautiful islands plus a swim off the shore of the 3rd. Delicious lunch of kebab and salad provided, bar on board serving cocktails, commentary in English and German and much much more. Brilliant value for money, highly recommend!

Well managed , good full day . - About right number passengers (70), more would be too many and might be the case in high season. Well run , good lunch although chicken a tad undercooked (pink bits). Good bar , great mojito and not overpriced. Bit more time at stops would be good but would lengthen the day so I see why it is what it is - all 3 stops are good. Friendly and helpful crew, lovely boat , good toilets!

Great day with Santa Maria - This cruise was exactly what we hoped for. The islands we visited were nice and we saw dolfins. On the islands were different things to do, like shopping, eating, swimming and even cliff jumping! The crew on board was amazing, especially Alexander the great and the barwoman. The DJ/captain had a great music taste and we even enjoyed some dutch music (which the crew also knew). The tour was the perfect balance between enjoying the sun, information about the Greek islands and activities. The lunch was also very good. It was a fantastic day and nice to go with your friends, but also good for families. We certainly recommend to everyone!!

What more can I say? - I spent the best day of my holiday in Kos aboard the gulet Santa Maria. We sailed to discover the wonderful islands near Kos. Entertainment and good humor, music, sun, sea, what more could you want? Thank you for this beautiful experience.

Erg leuk, maar wees op tijd! - Was een erg leuke ervaring! De hosts van de boot vertelden leuke verhalen en hadden humor! Maaar, wees echt op tijd! De boot zou 9.30 vertrekken (vertrok uiteindelijk om 10.00), wij arriveerde om 9.00 en op twee bedjes na, was alles al bezet… Wij hadden net geluk. Lunch die we kregen was lekker. En we hebben ook nog dolfijnen mogen spotten!

Overcrowded party boat - We had booked at the harbor with another, quiet boat. On the morning of departure we were told on site that the ship we had booked would not sail (which could accommodate a maximum of 70 people). Instead we were taken to Santa Maria. At first it seemed fine, but we soon saw that Sunweb was bringing all its guests here, with the result; an overcrowded boat of 125 men. We actually wanted to get off the boat, so we asked if this was possible, but I was turned down and told that this was the best experience ever. You can't speak of a quiet boat trip, the music was extremely loud. I had already made this boat trip several times, but I wanted to give my girlfriend this experience as well. Unfortunately very disappointing.
