We booked the Luxury Catamaran Trip with Meal and Open Bar, for a party of two, on a late afternoon sunset cruise through GetYourGuide in June. This was probably our best excursion in Santorini! The minibus picked us up on time and we headed out. Once we were assigned an English group – with maybe 15 other people – we boarded. The catamaran was large and clean. The cruise crew was awesome! Maro, Elvin and Kosmas took great care of us. They took us to swim first near a fishing village. This was so fun! We were given pool noodles and snorkel gear and entered the water either by the back of the boat or by jumping straight off the side. The water was calm and not too cold in June. They let us swim for a while before we boarded the catamaran again and sailed off to the next location. Towels were provided. The open bar had water, soft drinks, beer (Alpha), wine, and a cocktail. The crew was BBQing as we sailed. Then we went to the second swimming location and played in the water so more.
After the 2nd swim we were served an outstanding spread – a freshly prepared Greek meal, including dessert, which was excellent. We ate at our leisure and fully relaxed with our group. Then we went to the 3rd swimming location which was a hot spring. It wasn’t super-hot or anything, just a little different than the colder water. After we’d had our fun, we boarded again, and we sailed to the Oia area around the caldera to relax and watch the sun go down. It was the best way to see the sunset! Along the way the crew showed us other areas and told stories so that was a nice extra. They took us to Oia to catch our van back. This was non-eventful, except that I’m pretty sure our driver was playing Tetris on his phone while we headed back to our stop in Imerovigli. Other than that, our sail was divine, and we enjoyed every minute. The sail was about 5-6 hours. It was a great value and we would book with them again in a heartbeat!
