A definite tour to do - We had a great day all round. Our driver Yannis picked us up and drove us to the port. He was fantastic. He told us all about the places we were driving through. We were then meet by Irene. She took us to the boat. We meet the entire team. They were magnificent. Couldn’t do enough for us. The food was great. Upon our arrival Yannis meet us again. He took us home vis a different route. Again he was full of information, pointing out great photo opportunities. We all had a great time. Definitely recommend this tour. If you are getting picked up ask for Yannis. And for the boat tour ask for Irene and her crew. They are the best.

The highlight of our cruise - This trip was the highlight of our cruise.
Getting out of the port was a challenge due to everyone being forced through a narrow shopping area. We had to walk about 5 mins away from the port which got us out of the crowds and into their air conditioned offices.
We then took a slightly air-conditioned minibus to the port which was about 45 mins away.
We were greeted by a young girl who took us to the boat. It was all very professional with the 3 crew/captain serving us drinks and food without being in the way.
The boat capacity was about 14 and there was 8 of us so loads of space. The boat was immaculate with 2 bathrooms and many sitting areas in shade or full sun. We linked to the stereo and so dictated the tunes.
The food was bbq and was delicious we had loads of king prawn, chicken breast fillets, battered fish, spaghetti and Greek salad.
Drinks were a bit disappointing but ok….. full sugar coke, Fanta orange, sprite still water, beer and wine, I would have preferred diet drinks and sparkling water but I guess everyone has their preferences.
The boat tour was lovely but realistically could have been anywhere. We stopped at 3 places the first was by a reddish cliff we jumped in and swam but didn’t snorkel.
We then went to the outside edge of the volcanic crater not a stunning site (brown rubble heap!) but there were quite a few fish. We went snorkelling, all of the equipment was clean and good quality. The last stop was off a narrow black beach that had little houses set into the cliff. This is where we ate and then a few of us swam to shore. We did a bit of fishing off a crab line without success and a bit of snorkling.
There was plenty of space on the boat and it was immaculately clean and in good condition.

Sailing in the Mediterranean was the jewel of our trip - Booked this through Santorini Private Guides who subcontracts to this company.
Our private catamaran was upgraded to a modern 40-ft yacht which is much faster and as a result, you can see more sites. We went to three swimming sites where we stayed for 10-15 min. Not much sea life at the first two, but the last site near Thirasia had plenty of large beautiful fish.
Dinner was served at the last site and was a yummy serving of chicken, mussels, shrimp, Greek salad, etc. Cold drinks including beer was complimentary.
Captain and guide were fun and made the whole experience that much better. We got a brief but interesting history lesson. Also knowledgeable on off the cuff questions.
I’d definitely recommend this outfit for any cruising needs. One small hiccup, the company we booked through said that we could be dropped off at our cruise boat instead of the Fira port to avoid the tender. This is not possible by law so don’t expect this!
Also, wanted to catch the sunset but this is difficult given our boat’s last boarding time. Don’t want to miss the boat! Will have to return for that famous Santorini sunset.

Best way to see Santorini - An amazing private charter. The crew was fantastic and did an amazing job making this a special trip. The boat was brand new and amazing. The food was fantastic and enough to feed 12 people even though there were just 4 of us. We were able to customize our trip and went to Thirasia which was an amazing stop for snorkong and our lunch. Book this tour for an amazing day on the Aegean Sea.

Good boat tour of Santorini a d surrounding islands - We were upgraded to the power yacht which was nice as we were able to visit several islands and beaches around Santorini. A few of the stops were pretty crowded but that’s probably unavoidable when cruise ships are in port. The owner was our captain for the day, and my one complaint would be that we were rushed off the boat at the end of our excursion, which actually was a few minutes before it was supposed to end (we had booked 10:30-3:30, and apparently they had a 3:30 sunset cruise booked so were very motivated to get us off the boat). This was upsetting to my wife and daughter who had planned on changing clothes and cleaning up a bit on the boat before shopping and sightseeing in Oia. He did arrange a driver to stay with us for the rest of the day for 100 Euros so that somewhat made up for it. The crew was very helpful and accommodating as well, other than the rushed ending. Also, just something to note, but we did not eat lunch on the boat, but were instead taken to a restaurant on Thirasia, which was fine but it took more time than eating on the boat would have.
