About this tour

Get away from the crowds and set sail to the most stunning show on Earth: Santorini kissed by the setting sun.

🛥️ Pick your ride

Glide slow and smooth on a breezy catamaran, feel the thrill on a zippy RIB, or cruise like royalty on a motor yacht. However you roll, we’ve got the boat for your mood.

🧭 Your route, your rules

Board at Vlychada Marina and escape the crowds in total style. With your own captain and a flexible itinerary, you decide where to sail and how long to stay — from the fiery Red Beach to the sculpted White Beach, the quiet coves of Mesa Pigadia, and the legendary caldera. Feeling adventurous? You can even swing by Oia, Thirassia, Aspronissi, the Seal Cave, or the old port — weather and vibes permitting.

🏊‍♂️ Swim. Snorkel. Soak it all in.

Jump in at secret swim spots, snorkel volcanic shores, or just chill on deck with a drink in hand and a playlist of splashing waves.

🍽️ Sunset + Sizzle = Magic

As the sky goes golden, the grill fires up. Onboard, our crew serves up a Greek BBQ feast: think juicy chicken skewers, shrimp pasta, Greek salad, vine leaves, pitta, and tzatziki — with vegetarian options, of course. Start with a fresh fruit plate 🍉, end with Greek yogurt and sweet cherries 🍒, and keep the drinks flowing from the open bar 🍷🍺.

💙 Why settle for watching the sunset when you can sail into it?
