Amazing in every way! - We had a fabulous time on this sunset cruise! From pick up to drop off, everything was so smooth. The crew was fantastic, knowledgeable and helpful! Food was amazing, sunset was incredible. There were 6 couples (that we didn’t know) and we had a blast together! Highly recommend this company and cruise!

Excellent Sunset Cruise - The sunset cruise on Freedom with Catarina and Spiros was the highlight of our visit to Santorini! While this excursion was definitely one of the pricier ones of our trip, it was well worth it. From the second we were picked up from our hotel, everyone was so friendly! The boat was in great condition and the food was excellent. The itinerary was as described with multiple stops for swimming and snorkeling followed by a large meal that was one of the most delicious of our trip.

Excellent way to swim and see the sunset! - We had a lovely time on the boat, and it was the only time on Santorini that we got to swim in the Mediterranean. The crew were all so nice! A great way to get a meal, drink Greek wine, and see a beautiful sunset.

Sunset cruise in style! - All the crew on The Oasis made our sunset cruise a great experience! They weren't shy to offer us wine and beer, the BBQ was all amazing with dishes for everyone. Asked about food allergies before they cooked and preferences for vegetarians and vegans. Overall, great time onboard!

First Class Sunset Sail - A beautiful cruise. We were on the catamaran “Moonlight “ which was well maintained and nicely appointed. The crew were very professional and worked hard to ensure all guests had a good time. We stopped multiple times for swimming and snorkeling as well as the “hot” springs which we never quite located. Food was delicious and drinks free flowing (note: a house white and Stella were the only alcoholic drinks). Cruise limited to 26 passengers.

World in Union - On 4th September we had the good fortune to go on the “RAINBOW” for a small group sunset cruise. The pick up was on time, the driver friendly and delivered us safely to the dock. On arrival it was a smooth transition to the catamaran. On board the crew were magnificent, quickly distributing drinks. Once underway they were particularly informative of history, geology Etc. It felt like they really enjoyed us being there. The meal was excellent, it’s amazing that they could provide such variety in a small galley. The highlight of the trip was our fellow travellers, even though we came from various countries and backgrounds. They were superb company and made it a day to remember for my wife and I. So thank you to them and the crew

Exceeds Expectations. - What can I say but THANK YOU. An experience of a lifetime on the sunset tour. You have 5 hours of swimming, beautiful food, history and incredible company. My partner proposed to me on our experience and I couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful backdrop. Don’t think, just do it. It’s worth every penny. ❤️ Thank you to the crew of the Oasis. You are fabulous people. ❤️
