Private speedboat cruises in Santorini

Every cruise runs on a private Sea Ray 33 sport cruiser — a fast, comfortable motorboat, not a shared sailing catamaran or a RIB. It reaches Red Beach, White Beach and the volcano quickly and lets your captain adapt the route and timing to your group.

The vessel is a Sea Ray 33, powered by twin Hyundai SeasAll s270p (2 × 199 kW) at 3,800 rpm. It carries up to 6 guests on a fully private basis, with a captain and hostess on board, and is based at Vlychada Marina, Santorini.

Yes — every cruise is fully private to your group, with no strangers on board. You choose the departure time and the pace, and your skipper tailors the day around you.

The food on board is organic and home-grown. The vegetables and fruit come straight from our own family garden in Santorini — Greek salad, fava, tzatziki, zucchini fritters, Santorini tomato balls, a seasonal fruit platter and freshly baked bread, plus a barbecue on the 5-hour and full-day cruises — with organic wine from our family vineyard. Vegetarian meals are available on request.

Yes. Every cruise includes hotel transfer: we pick you up from your hotel or villa in Santorini, drive you to Vlychada Marina and bring you back afterwards. After booking you choose your exact pickup point on a map.

All cruises leave Vlychada Marina on the south coast and pass the sea caves and volcanic cliffs to Red Beach, White Beach, Mesa Pigadia, the Akrotiri lighthouse and Aspronisi. The 5-hour cruise adds the volcano with a swim in the warm hot springs; the full-day cruise adds the volcano, Thirasia island and Ammoudi Bay below Oia.

There are three private cruises: 3 hours (south coast and beaches), 5 hours (adds the volcano and hot springs) and a full day of about 8 hours around the whole caldera. Each includes time to swim and snorkel.

The 5-hour cruise and the full-day cruise both stop at the volcano, where you can swim in the warm, iron-rich hot springs. The 3-hour cruise stays on the south coast for Red Beach, White Beach and the sea caves.

Choose a sunset departure — the 3-hour private cruise leaves at 17:30 and the 5-hour private cruise leaves at 16:00 — timed so you are on the water for golden hour over the caldera. Sunset cruises are the most requested, so book ahead in peak season (June to September).

Prices are per private boat, not per person, and include the skipper, hostess, hotel transfer, organic food from our own garden, drinks and VAT. Current prices: 3-hour private cruise — €690 for 2 guests, up to €1050 for 6; 5-hour private cruise — €900 for 2 guests, up to €1300 for 6; full-day private cruise — €1500 for 2 guests, up to €2100 for 6.

Yes. On top of the Santorini caldera cruises, we arrange private speedboat trips to nearby islands on request — including Thirassia, Ios, Folegandros, Anafi and beyond. Tell us where you would like to go and we will design a custom itinerary and quote.

Absolutely. Because each cruise is private, it works equally well for romantic sunsets and honeymoons, families with children, and small groups of friends. The pace and stops are adjusted to whoever is on board.

Bring sunscreen, a swimsuit, sunglasses and a light layer for the cooler sunset breeze. Towels, snorkel masks, food and drinks are provided. The caldera can get breezy in the afternoon, so if you are prone to seasickness, take medication before boarding.
