Romantic and relaxing ☺️ - I have no words about this catamaran tour 🤩I feel so relaxed and a different experience when you do a boat tour you see the island from different eye 😉 Swimming at hot Springs was fantastic but not only this we did a first stop at the other island Thirasia for Snorkeling and the stuff give us all the necessary stuff so you will need only your camera with you , nothing else . After we eat dinner prepared from the chef with fresh food and grilled shrimps and meat at the boat

Luxury at sunset - It has been the best experience of the whole trip, the insurmountable crew always super vigilant of us continuously, all lovely, the very good food and the places to which we were beautiful with an incredible sunset.
Thank you.

A must do trip when in Santorini - We had an amazing experience with Volcano Yachting while on holiday in Santorini. We did the semi-private sunset cruise which took us from the port of Ammoudi, along the Caldera coastline to the Volcanic islands and stopped along the way at the White, Red and Black Mountain beach. The views were spectacular and the crew were super friendly and knowledgeable. We had an amazing dinner of traditional Greek mezedes and BBQ which was prepared onboard. The cruise package included complimentary pickup and return which was an added bonus! Great experience all round and highly recommend this trip!

Highlight of time in Santorini - The views were amazing, saw all the sights from the boat, the crew was so much fun. This was the highlight of our time in Santorini. Good food, music and great to see Santorini by boat and definitely the sunset. We highly recommend this trip.

Best activity on the island! - The crew were the friendliest and assured we had the best sunset cruise with great conversation and history about the area, food (best tzatziki sauce, wine and grilled shrimp!) music and Greek, salsa and Abba dancing-highly recommend!

A pleasure to cruise with such a lovely crew - Arranged through my travel agent, this afternoon/sunset cruise enabled a very different view of the island from the water, not just the iconic whitewashed buildings. We were warmly greeted by the genuinely friendly 4 crew members who willingly answered questions about the island's geography, history and culture. When viewed from the water Santorini's volcanic coast has many different colours and layers. Music and included drinks made for a relaxing time sailing to different bays with several swim stops. The BBQ lunch/dinner was freshly cooked on board and tasty, with a magic desert of youghurt, honey and raisins. The Skipper's friendliness stood out and while there are many cruise options I would highly recommend this company if you want a high quality of personalised service.

Started out amazing, ended very strangely - To start, overall, we had a great time. You'll want to pinch yourself while you float in the beautiful aqua waters of the Aegean Sea.
What we did not like, was the complete departure from the description below that this experience ended up being. This is how the trip is advertised on their website:
"Departing from the picturesque beach of Vlychada, the Catamaran sails along the Red beach, the White Beach, the Black Mountain beach and the Light House, south of the Caldera. We continue along the Caldera coastline to the Volcanic islands and the famous Hot Springs, for snorkeling and swimming. An overture of the volcano, which has shaped the entire island of Santorini! While sailing along the beautiful coastline, you will be left breathless as you admire the unique Caldera. We make our last stop to Thirassia Island for dinner complemented with wine and dessert. Before reaching the port of Ammoudi, we admire the spectacular colors of the world’s famous Santorinian sunset…The perfect ending to a magnificent cruise!"
We did this entire trip backwards from what is above. We were picked up at Ammoudi and dropped back off at Vlychada. We did not see the sunset over Oia but rather just over the water, we actually were driving away from the sunset. Once back at Vlychada, we had an hour and 15 minute drive back to our hotel. Additionally, on the ride back, the driver stopped the van and said "sorry, I have to pick up my brother" and his brother got in the van's front seat! then was dropped off before the remaining passengers were dropped off at their hotel!
There also seemed to be some sort of sail malfunction. The crew spent a good 30 minutes trying to fix this as we spun around in the water. Not something they could necessarily control, but it might have made sense to anchor or feed us dinner while they worked on this.
As I mentioned, it was a great trip, but I don't understand how they can completely change the trip from what was promised and think everyone won't notice or will be fine with it. Certainly not worth the money.

Some good. Some not - The luxury cruise was recommended. We liked the crew. They were somewhat engaging but for the most part leave the group to do their own thing. All of the stops advertised were good. Only complaint was giving 45 minutes docked outside the red beach but we weren’t allowed to swim to the beach. (Probably an island rule but still sucked). Food was average but the sunset on the water was really nice. Lastly it isn’t mentioned that we finish at a different port and there was an hour plus drive back after a long day. Overall if you can’t go private it’s pretty good still

AVOID VOLCANO YACHTING CHEATERS! - Volcano yachting does not deliver what you pay for. We booked a sunset cruise in September and they skipped our final swim stop and did not return us to Oia to see the sunset as promised. The captain and crew are dishonest and when every one asked why the trip was suddenly being aborted and why we were being dropped off at the farthest end of the island without any sunset viewed, they just kept repeating "we are done, we are done". They are dishonest cheaters and thieves! Pick ANY other vendor. Also food was mediocre.
