Old port
Pass by without stopping
We will stop near Aspronisi , so we will admire the sunset onboard. leave a romantic moment on board. Aspronisi was formed through the gradual volcanic activity in the Santorini caldera, which itself is composed of four distinct shield volcanoes.[5] The island was formed along with the current Santori caldera during a massive eruption in the 2nd millennium BC that expelled 14 cubic miles (60 km3 ) of dense rock. Aspronisi was briefly a submarine volcano before the force of the eruption pushed the islet above the surface, after which dense layers of pumice and tephra ejected from the volcano covered the island.

Great cruise
We had so much fun on our private cruise. Our host/captain Spiro was awesome. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about Greek culture and history of the island caldera. The views were breathtaking and out of this world, way beyond our expectations. Transportation to and back from the cruise was on time. We had a great time
via Viator
Not what we expected
The itinerary was good and was what made the ride a good ride. Unfortunately The driver was not friendly and made things uncomfortable and so it wasn’t what we expect it. I wouldn’t recommend this ride.
Response from the operator: Dear Herbeth , First of all we would like to thank you for the feedback. If you are talking about the skipper of the motorboat unfortunately our skipper had a serious problem this day and we had to use an other skipper so we will not cancel the last min the cruise. Thank you again to let us know so we will not work with him in case we need him again

Excellent
Excellent experience, really would highly recommend it, we done the morning experience looking back I should have done the afternoon experience to have been able to take in the amazing santorini sunset.

The captain was patient...
The captain was patient and explained the surrounding areas. The transfers to and from the port were awful…rude and did not engage or speak any English

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Motor Yacht (2026)Luxury Private Cruise Around Santorini: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santorini.
How much does Motor Yacht (2026)Luxury Private Cruise Around Santorini cost?
+
Prices start at $395 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 Motor Yacht (2026)Luxury Private Cruise Around Santorini take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Motor Yacht (2026)Luxury Private Cruise Around Santorini worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 17 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 Motor Yacht (2026)Luxury Private Cruise Around Santorini?
+
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 Motor Yacht (2026)Luxury Private Cruise Around Santorini suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Motor Yacht (2026)Luxury Private Cruise Around Santorini?
+
Around 6 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Motor Yacht (2026)Luxury Private Cruise Around Santorini 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 Tailor-Made Santorini Land Tour with a Local Driver. 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.
