This was a delightful sunset cruise. The crew is super friendly. The views and route are beautiful. The food was really good and the drinks were flowing. I only wish it had been a slightly smaller passenger load as there were only a few places to lay on deck, but people were really accommodating and sharing and we all got along and shared the sun.

This is a must do when in Santorini. Vista Yachting's day cruise was excellent. The crew was friendly and attentive. The boat had plenty of sunning spots, was very clean, and new. The BBQ was delicious with options to satisfy many dietary restrictions. The only minor negative was the hot springs were very crowded and can be difficult swimming around incoming boats - no fault of Vista. Very convenient departure from Vlychada Port, especially if your staying mid to southern part of Santorini. Free parking available and get there early. Overall, highly recommend Vista Yachting as an excellect value among many options.

Amazing morning cruise spent swimming, site seeing and with a great lunch on board to top it off. Pristine boat, friendly and informative crew, good background music, nice towels and floaties - it was worth every bit. Perfect length of cruise and great pickup shuttle organisation from our accomodation. Will do it again!

Amazing trip with Vista Cruising on their sunset 🌅 cruise. The views throughout the trip and the little stops and background around each beach and attraction was awesome. The Springs- The furthest part into the spring is warm around 30 Celsius but in May this year the water is colder than usual as we were told by the locals before we got into the water to swim to the spring. We were given a safety talk prior to leaving the catamaran, given noodles and given some history around the activity or the volcano. Don’t expect it to be hot but it is warm and the colour is amazing! Just wear a dark swimsuit to make sure you it doesn’t stain as they don’t come off. The overall trip was amazing from the pick up, food and entertainment! Nathalie- the cook, mama of the ship and entertainer was amazing!!!! The sunset was also awesome too. Myself and my friend had a blast! Couldn’t recommend more than anything that you need to do! 🤩 thank you to all the crew and captain 👩‍✈️

Absolutely recommend this tour to you. No matter you are solo or couple, family, this is the tour for you. The crew members are very attentive and friendly, they made sure that everyone had a great time. The drinks, including soft drinks and wine, are provided without limitation. The food cooked on board was also amazing. We stopped at three spots for swim, but I didn’t go swimming as the water was still very cold in April. At last, the highlight must be the sunset watching, it was fascinating and unforgettable, please note that the sunset watching was not in Oía, but an open sea south to the Santorini island, if you are particular about the place to watch sunset, you should know this.

Frequently Asked

questions

Our Platinum cruise stands out from the Gold cruise with an extra stop near Thirasia island and an expanded menu. While the Gold cruise menu includes BBQ chicken, Napolitan pasta, oven-baked Greek ratatouille with eggplants, zucchini, and tomato sauce, a Greek salad, and traditional mezedes such as tzatziki, our Platinum cruise has all of these options above! Specifically, our Platinum cruise menu also offers BBQ pork, pasta with seafood, and the “mezedes” also have fish. Both cruises feature an open bar with white wine, refreshments, and water, but the Platinum cruise also offers an open beer bar which also serves sparkling Moscato D’Asti wine at sunset.

A catamaran cruise in Santorini is the highlight of the island, the best way to spend your day or evening.You will stop close to the Volcano Santorini and swim in the healing hot springs, visit the famous White and Red beaches, and enjoy a delicious on-board meal with unlimited drinks.

Whether you’re traveling with family, friends, or that special someone, this tour is guaranteed to be a highlight of your trip.
Santorini offers two daily catamaran cruises, the day cruise and the sunset catamaran cruise, which both provide the opportunity to visit the highlights and hidden spots of the island, such as Red and White beaches and the volcano hot springs. The day trip is ideal for families with children, as it allows for a longer swimming experience in daylight. On the other hand, the Santorini catamaran sunset tour is perfect for couples looking for a more relaxed and romantic atmosphere, making it an ideal for special occasions, such as wedding proposals, or honeymooners. No matter which option you decide to go with,both catamaran cruises offer a unique perspective of Santorini’s beauties.

If you’re concerned about seasickness, we provide travel gums and our crew is always available to offer travel tips and assistance to help make your experience as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Don’t worry if swimming isn’t your thing as there’s still plenty to enjoy on a Santorini catamaran cruise that doesn’t involve swimming.
