What To Expect

Board a luxury catamaran yacht and cruise along the caldera cliffs of Santorini for a top-notch experience on the water, cruising towards the Red and White beaches, trying your hand at swimming at the warm springs of the volcano, and enjoying a full Greek meal with drinks prepared on board.

Take in stunning views of the caldera as you glide through the shimmering waters of the Aegean Sea.

Cruise towards the Red Beach and White or Mesa Pigadia beaches and swim at the warm volcanic springs where parts of the water are warmer due to the volcanic activity that exists for centuries on the island.

A delicious fresh meal including BBQ chicken, pan-fried fish fillets, shrimp, pasta with tomato and basil, and complimentary Greek wine, beer, and sodas provide the finishing touches, at a secluded bay of the Santorini lagoon.

Numbers are limited to a maximum of 18 guests plus crew, ensuring a relaxing and comfortable experience.
