About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 191armaanb0 contributionsExcellent experience, Highly RecommendAbsolutely Amazing experience. We did the morning cruise. About 15-20 people total. Staff was amazing. They gave brief but detailed explanations of many of the sites. We swam in ocean at many locations. Lunch was served on the boat and was excellent. The half day tour was perfect in terms of time as it allowed us the afternoon to pursue some other activities. Staff went above and beyond (Captain Giannis, Alexander, Maria and Alex). Would highly rec'd this tour to anyone.Written November 27, 2024
- M6395EFcelines0 contributionsWorth the money!Nice boat, Nice crew, Nice views, the guided parts was very interesting, the food was good. We stopped so that we could go for a swim three times which was really nice. Also a big plus that all drinks and a taxi ride from the hotel and back was included! I originally thought it was a bit expensive, but with everything that was included, I don’t think so after all. A great experience, and I would absolutely do it again!!Written November 15, 2024

- 103hayleym0 contributionsAmazing!Great boat trip with nice small crowd. Really lovely team on board, Captain Giannis, Tzannis & Natalia. Very helpful and would get anything for you. Gorgeous food spread and bar pretty much open from when the boat takes off. Beer and wine. They even provide beach towels so you don’t really need to take much with you! Only downfall is hotel sold it to us like your on boat from 10-15 but really is 10-14 then they drop you off to be taken home. But that’s the hotel problem not the boat! Highly recommend if prefer smaller crowds and want a more luxurious boat ride!Written October 27, 2024

This was hands down one of the best experiences of our life. We booked a private half day cruise that was recommended by our hotel (Aria Suites, also amazing) and every part of the trip was perfect. Our crew was truly incredible. Edi was an expert on Santorini history, took care of every need and question, took hundreds (literally) of amazing photos and was just truly an incredible person. I cried when I thanked him. Natalia cooked the most incredible meal-6-7 dishes, all freshly made on the boat. Giannis was the captain and was so warm and friendly. The boat was gorgeous-clean and in excellent condition. The tour stops were perfect and Edi guided us through all of them. We got to swim 3 times and saw some of the most beautiful sights, including the sunset as we sailed back to the port.
The private cruise was 10000% worth the additional investment (beyond a group cruise). 11 out of 10.

This was a fantastic way to see the island of Santorini and learn of the history. We were picked up by a private coach and then picked up other members of our group. Many nationalities made up our group: a couple from Nigeria, from India, from London, and one from the Netherlands and one from Barcelona. We hit it off quickly and made quick friends. We were met by Anastasia, who got the party started with drinks and music. Off we went to the Agean Sea. We first saw the Red Beach and learned the origin of its color. Then we sailed to the hot springs where we were able to take a dip in the water. Careful, it is really cold until you swim towards the warmer areas. After the 20 minute swim, we headed to Thracia where we would have a nice group dinner of salad, prawns, pasta, sausage and grilled chicken. We discussed our fondest memories of Santorini thus far and the next country/city we wish to visit next. With such a diverse group, we hoped to see exotic locales like Mexico City, Bali, Thailand, and Spain. After we ended our meal with dessert, we pulled up anchor and sailed towards the sea so we can get a great view of the sunset. Captain Petros and deckhand Spyros did a great job hoisting the sail and seeking calmer waters. We took many great photos of the sunset and taking photos for each other. Loved our group as there was only open and accepting people (we were the only Americans!). Alas, our voyage had to end and we returned to the marina. The crew politely asked for tips to help motivate them to provide excellent service, which they did. Overall, a must do experience if you visit Santorini. Word of caution, bring your swimsuit, a change of clothes and a warm jacket or windbreaker as it gets chilly toward the end of the trip when the sun goes down and your only source of warmth will be a blanket. If you have swim socks, that will be good to wear as they make you take off your shoes and socks upon boarding. They don’t want those to get wet so they collect them from you before you board. I didn’t expect that.

Really fabulous crew (Captain Nikita, Fotini-Maria and Angie), they made us comfortable, we’re friendly and open to any question (personal, cultural, boat related lol) and joined in with the swim! The captain took our catamaran much closer to the rock formations than I saw others go, and we always felt safe. Putting the sail up was fabulous once we got out into the sea.
The drinks for those that wanted alcohol were plentiful, water and soft drinks cold, and the food was delicious.
The bus pick up was in a high quality bus and our driver was on time, courteous and careful.
Getting a What’sApp message confirming the change in pickup location that I requested and the time, and then a further one with a slightly earlier time was convenient. I am glad that I had international roaming though because otherwise I would have missed the change in pickup time 😁
Thank you for a wonderful experience!

I had a grumpy partner who did not want to part with the € to go on another pointless boat trip. I held strong and insisted. We booked via Santo Luxury Escape, and were told the programme included transfers, catamaran, lunch, unlimited drinks. We had low expectations having been on plenty of similar programmes. But this was in a totally different league. The transfer was punctual and comfortable. The catamaran was just stunning. The crew were the most amazing bunch who worked from before we arrived to after we left. They did not stop circulating and refilling drinks with ice cold branded drinks aplenty. The lunch was BBQ prepared before our eyes and served on a communal table with the other guests. We had the most amazing bunch of people who just elevated the experience to a different level. One of our best memories of Santorini and my partner was blown away and said it was worth every €. This was a cut above everything we have ever done and loved it. Thank you to the brilliant team. This may be your day job, but you are making memories I will treasure in my old age as I look back on my life. You are all just brilliant.

The staff (especially Lexy) were very professional taking great care of the guests & warning them of any danger (eg. Do NOT step on the rocks when swimming in the Hot Springs because you can badly cut yourself). The catamaran was new, very comfortable & spacious, the food & drinks always available & top shelf, & the whole experience just perfect. This is the cruise to book, not cheaper ones (we were very disappointed with a cheaper wooden boat one on the previous day & it’s unprofessional staff). Well done Lexy & staff - thanks for a great experience & keep up the good work.

Most incredible , mind blowing experience with the highest level of hospitality from the crew. We took the half day (evening ) Catamaran cruise tour. The pick up was at around 2pm from our hotel and the ride had several stops for pick ups prior to reaching the departure point. It was a comfortable ride overall. On reaching the departure point we boarded the vessel which was a stunner to begin with. Looked brand new and the crew made us comfortable while we settled down. After a brief from the crew on the dos-don’tI and safety measures we left the shore. The cabin and deck on the vessel were very comfortable with plenty of spots to “hang out “ and click pictures. The crew offered us some refreshments and drinks. It’s was an open bar with beer and wine. Natalia , Alex were splendid in their communication and hospitality. Made sure everyone got comfortable and relaxed. We made several stops close to the red black , the volcano/ hot springs and white beach. And then one near Thirasia. This was the best spot as we docked for close to 1-1.5 hours. Great place to swim or even snorkel. Natalia and Alex prepared a lavish spread that covered spaghetti , mussels , chicken , shrimp , salad, pork sausages and bread. I’m sure I have missed something cause it was a huge spread. There was also dessert in the form of an orange pie which I found to be light and delicious , an excellent pairing for the heavy meal we had just had. Overall The meal was splendid and we devoured it thoroughly!!! This was 3-3.5 hours into the trip. The next part was probably the most memorable one. The sunset ! We waited patiently for the sunset and the crew played some really romantic songs to set the mood. It was topped off with a glass off champagne. The views from the Deck were simply spectacular and we were lucky to have clear Skies and a beautiful sunset view from the middle of the sea really.
Soon after the sunset we head back to end a memorable trip with great company and great crew ! Thank you Santorini Star. It was worth it.

Incredible all around experience, this sunset cruise has everything. An amazing ride with breathtaking views, time to swim, a delicious meal, an accommodating and personable crew and of course the beautiful Santorini sunset to end the cruise. With a limited number of guests allowed on the boat everybody had plenty of space to sit around and enjoy themselves. This was one of the highlights of our trip, and something we’ll never forget.
I also need to mention how amazing the crew on our boat was. From the second they
welcomed us onto the boat they stay engaged both on a personal level with conversations among the all the guests to make sure everyone feels comfortable for the duration of the cruise. My wife and I enjoyed talking to Dimitris several times throughout the day. From personal conversation to history lessons about the island, Dimitris was great to be around. Mary offered to take our picture at sunset and while we didn’t talk with the captain Nikita too much on our cruise several other guests sat up with him throughout the trip and seemed to enjoy their time too. The food was delicious, and for those with dietary restrictions just let the crew know, they will take care of you as we witnessed with a few other guests on our trip too. The staff with santorini star also made all the pickup and drop off arrangements at convenient locations within walking distance of everyone’s hotels.

What a trip that was!! 5 hours of pure ocean going indulgence with my wife and our kids. So glad our accommodation, Kokkinos Villas (also highly recommended), recommended this experience. We opted for the sunset tour which took in various coastline site including the lighthouse, hot springs, red, white and black beaches and a secluded island that wouldn’t look out of place in a Bond movie. We stopped at three locations for a swim with the local fish. Idyllic to say the least. The team abroad were excellent hosts, especially the wonderful Natalia who cooked up some of the best food we have had in Santorini and the young lad whose name escapes me at this point! Apologies. Oh and refreshments are on request as and when you want it. En route back to watch the gorgeous sunset the skipper put on some classic tunes which lead to an unforgettable experience dancing on a catamaran with 16 other guests from all Over the world. We absolutely recommend these guys and would go again in a heartbeat. Absolutely worth the money.

We booked the sunset trip, highly recommend. Picked up the hotel and taken to the nearby port where we met the catamaran. Sailed out to the nearby Red, Black and White beaches. White beach was my favourite, column of white rock just of the beach surrounded by clear blue sea. Sailed onto a small bay where we were allowed to swim, sea is very salty though. We then sailed out to Tholos the volcanic island, we did not alight as it was very busy and the crew made the decision to move onto a nearby island Thirasia where we moored up to eat and swim some more. Meal was a selection of chicken, prawns, spaghetti and salad. Vegetarian options are limited. On route back to the port we had great views of the sunset from several locations as we travelled. Point to note is that the journey out to Tholos can be very choppy if it is windy. We sat the front of the boat and was as wet as a fish because of the sea spray thrown up by the waves. Coming back to port the journey was a lot calmer. To summarise, a great trip to visit nearby beach and island locations topped off with amazing sunset views..highly recommend.

We booked for ourselves and our three teen kids. We were picked up on time from our villa in an air conditioned mini coach with a charming driver. We were met at the dock by one of the crew, Anastasi, who gave a brief introduction and then onto the catamaran and a further safety briefing by Lexi.
The boat was spotlessly clean and clearly maintained to a very high standard as well as being luxurious. We then headed out to sea and started an amazing trip taking in the geology, history and culture of Santorini!
Whilst we were enjoying a swim in and around the volcano island, where the sulphur rock water is a good 5degC warmer, Natalya was making what turned out to be the best tzatziki I’ve ever tasted.
Hopping from Island to island we moored up over the crystal blue clear shallows to enjoy a fabulous lunch prepared by the crew. Throughout our trip, snacks and drinks were free flowing from the ever attentive staff under the watchful eye of our Captain, Yanis.
Unfortunately my wife was a little sea sick on the voyage back, but Natalya went above and beyond to look after her and was an absolute superstar.
We had a great day and met some fascinating people and all in all can throughly recommend this experience, it was totally worth the experience.

We will be cruising to Santorini know is this excursion accessible to the cruise port? Also, is it guaranteed to make you back to the cruise ship in time?
Written March 8, 2023
I don't have a firm answer for your question. Most cruise ships off load north of the island and access to and fro can take much time. You need to know where your cruise ship will be disembarking. Armed with that information, I suugest asking the sailing company if they can pick you there and get you back to the site inorder to make the cruise ship departure. It is a worth while trip and you'll need some hours to make it work. The key is where you disembark and how the transition works from ship to shore.
As an example, when we where on Santorini, we met a couple from a cruise ship who complained that the process to get from boat to shore and up the side of the island was exceptionally difficult. We were going to have dinner together, but they decided that they needed to head back ti the boat since it took so much time.
