Awful
I had a very disappointing experience with Santorini Blue Waves. I booked the Luxury boat, but after only 2 hours at sea the engine broke down without any warning. We were left waiting for almost an hour until they brought us a replacement. Unfortunately, the replacement boat was clearly inferior to the one I had paid for. At the end of the day, I politely asked for a refund of the price difference, which I think was a fair request given the circumstances. Instead of showing professionalism, the staff member I spoke with was rude, refused the refund, and even accused me of causing the damage to the boat without providing any evidence. His attitude was extremely disrespectful and left us with a very negative impression. For such a well-known destination, I expected a much higher standard of service and customer care. Sadly, this was not the case. I would not recommend this company to anyone looking for a reliable and respectful boat rental in Santorini
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m truly sorry that your experience with us didn’t meet your expectations. You had the luxury boat for several hours before the engine began to show a high-temperature warning. As soon as you contacted us, we responded promptly, consulted with our mechanic, and tried to troubleshoot the issue remotely. After letting the engine cool and attempting to restart, the issue persisted — so we made the decision to bring you a replacement boat to ensure you could continue enjoying your day. While the replacement was not the same model, it was the only available option at the time, and we acted as quickly as possible under the circumstances. This type of issue is often caused by something getting caught in the propeller, such as a plastic bag or rope, and usually doesn’t occur unless the boat has been running for a while — which aligns with the timing of the warning. We did our best to explain this to you after your return. Unfortunately, instead of allowing us to discuss the situation calmly, you were threatening us with a bad review if we didn't give you the money back. This made it very difficult to have an open and respectful conversation. Despite the unexpected issue, we believe we acted professionally and fairly, doing everything we could to turn the situation around and ensure you didn’t lose your day on the water. We regret that you left with a negative impression and appreciate your feedback as an opportunity to keep improving our service.

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Boat Rental in Santorini License Free: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santorini.
How much does Boat Rental in Santorini License Free cost?
+
Prices start at $520 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Santorini usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Boat Rental in Santorini License Free take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Santorini is not rushed.
Is Boat Rental in Santorini License Free worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 91 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Santorini, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Boat Rental in Santorini License Free?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Boat Rental in Santorini License Free suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Boat Rental in Santorini License Free?
+
Around 32 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Santorini can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Santorini and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Boat Rental in Santorini License Free start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Santorini within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Santorini?
+
On Outty we rank every Santorini experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Half Day Premium Catamaran Cruise in Santorini including Oia, Private Santorini Tailor Made - Choice of the Guest!, Private Classic Santorini Panorama: Visit Top Destinations. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Santorini?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Santorini?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
