About this experience
BYPASS THE CABLE CAR: Private Catamaran Cruise Starting from the Santorini cruise port, board your private catamaran to enjoy sailing around the Aegean waters of Santorini on a 4-Hour morning or afternoon private catamaran cruise. Sail around the volcanic islands of Santorini – Nea and Palea Kameni and enjoy a short stop or a swim/volcanic bath in the sulfurous warm springs of the volcano, where parts of the water are warmer due to volcanic activity. Head to a secluded bay of the Santorini lagoon and enjoy another swim or simply relax on the decks as the crew prepares a delicious Greek meal BBQ Chicken, Greek Pasta, Greek Salad, and spreads. Compliment your meal with a drink such as Greek wine, beer, or soda. If you’ve selected the sunset cruise, be astounded by the sight of the caldera bathed in dreamy, golden light. When our Private Santorini Catamaran Cruise ends, you will return back to the Santorini Cruise Port, where you boarded your experience.

The Best
Our guide was flexible and so nice. Because I had been there before I wanted to share my experience with my friends and family. Couldn’t have asked for a better day. Thank you Santorini Day Tours!

Great tour operator
Our guide Theo was genuinely excited to show us around Santorini. He had recommendations and we also had specific ideas. He made it all work out. He was pleasant and professional.

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
BYPASS THE CABLE CAR: 4-Hour Private Santorini Catamaran Cruise: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santorini.
How much does BYPASS THE CABLE CAR: 4-Hour Private Santorini Catamaran Cruise cost?
+
Prices start at $50 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 BYPASS THE CABLE CAR: 4-Hour Private Santorini Catamaran Cruise take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 BYPASS THE CABLE CAR: 4-Hour Private Santorini Catamaran Cruise worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Santorini, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule BYPASS THE CABLE CAR: 4-Hour Private Santorini Catamaran Cruise?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is BYPASS THE CABLE CAR: 4-Hour Private Santorini Catamaran Cruise suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book BYPASS THE CABLE CAR: 4-Hour Private Santorini Catamaran Cruise?
+
Around 1 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does BYPASS THE CABLE CAR: 4-Hour Private Santorini Catamaran Cruise 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.
