Highlights
  • Red Beach - Our first stop of the tour is Red beach, one of the most beautiful and stunning beaches on the island, all of its unique colors! It is located only some steps away from the ancient site of Akrotiri.

The small beach area creates a considerably crowded atmosphere and there are many days when most visitors choose not to visit the beach and instead admire this unique landscape of red and black volcanic rocks from the boat. Snorkeling is highly recommended due to the interesting rock formations one can find at the bottom of the sea.

  • White Beach - The next stop is White beach with crystalline waters and a sharp contrast to the nearby beach of Kokkini (Red) beach. This beach is accessible by sea only and less popular than the neighboring cove and less crowded. Ideal place for landscape photography.
  • Fira - At our next stop, we will have the chance to enjoy three unique places. Immerovigli, Firostefani and Fira old port. Traditional houses, narrow paths, and views of the volcano are prominent features.

There are two ports on Santorini. The Athinios port is for ferry and commercial boats, while the Gialos port, also known as the Old Port of Fira, is only for cruise ship passengers. Gialos is located just below Fira, Santorini’s capital.

  • Palea Kameni - Santorini has a one-of-a-kind natural beauty and wild scenery created by volcanic eruptions. Within the caldera, this activity created the dark-colored islands of Nea and Palea Kameni.

One of the best places to explore in Santorini is Palia Kameni where the hot springs are located.

  • Nea Kameni - The highlight of the cruise as we visit the volcano and stop there to enjoy swimming and snorkeling in the area. Explore with our snorkeling equipment the rocky shores as our crew prepares a delicious meal for you to taste with a variety of flavors.
  • Akrotiri Lighthouse - If you choose the sunset cruise we enjoy a unique sunset on board as the sun rests on the sea the best hour of the day! Some special music, a drink maybe and your beloved ones is the best combination for tons of photos and great memories

Day Sail around Santorini - Theo (or as my 20 year old daughter called “Tarzan”) was our amazing guide (with an abundance of interesting knowledge) and chef who was our host. Stellios was our fantastic captain and together they made the perfect crew for our private day sail at Santorini. I highly recommend Yako Sailing while in Santorini. The swimming and views are simply impossible to replicate without being out on the water. It will be one of our most cherished adventures.

Great way to sail around Santorini - Fantastic day out cruising the beaches and volcano around Santorini. The catamaran was spacious with plenty of room to move around or laze enjoying the sun and views. Very informative and friendly crew members with a delicious lunch. Plenty of cold drinks to enjoy.

Never again! - Booked the sunset tour on short notice for Sundays. Max. 12 passengers, 5 stops. (Due to the small number of passengers we hoped for more space, better service and some peace and quiet. Likewise, we decided for this tour as the description listed several stops (5 for most others only 3). Processing regarding pickup went so far smoothly and we were equally surprised when we were picked up completely private by a Tesla, driver was courteous and friendly. Everything has been great so far. Arriving at the port we were welcomed by a woman who was already visibly annoyed. Apparently we were late. Please sign here and there she said in an annoyed tone and then led us in quick steps to the boat where everyone else is already waiting. Get in, drive off. Directly we noticed the number of people, we were not only as described Max. 12 but more. The boat is a lot smaller than expected, even for 12 people it would have been quite small.A sunbed for 2 people and the rest sit shoulder to shoulder in front of the boat. Far from comfortable except for the 2 in the sunbed. Short safety briefing and the first stop RedBeach was already reached. Here we were allowed into the water briefly, by short I mean 5-10 minutes and then the tour continued. Past the Whitebeach to the hot springs. Here we were allowed back into the water, in short. As the journey continued, I was already surprised, we drove back towards the port. Still further stops in the other direction should follow. (Never started) During the stop at the hot springs and on the drive after, grilling was already started. Afterwards we stopped in a bay with 100 other boats, each boat played its own music and we were allowed to snorkel here. Well, at least those who could get some snorkeling gear. Not enough quantity of goggles and many of them broken and not usable. Here we were also allowed to stay longer in the water, the captain lay down in the cabin while the crew prepared the food. Apart from the fact that food was cold, it was ok in taste so far. Almost 2 hours we stayed in the bay, then the return trip to the harbor continued at snail’s pace, so that you could at least get to the promised 5 hours, away from the sunset, which you could “enjoy” even while standing on the stern of the boat. No room for all passengers. The other described stops incorrect display, but only the default route as with most other providers. Arrived at the port we were looking for our driver, but there was not and we were taken home with many other people by bus, 45 minutes bus ride until we were at our hotel and we were not the last on the bus. Could go on here forever... For us the first and last time! A cheek! Never again, that's better!
