    Daytime cruise in Santorini

    A wonderful experience. The ground transfers were on-time and just a ride - nothing exceptional, good or bad. We stayed in Fira; cruise left from Oia. The crew is very professional, knowledgeable, warm and accommodating. They explained various areas, prepared and served drinks and food, and politely and thoroughly answered questions. 10/10. We stopped in 3 different swimming locations. Water was cold and I braved it for about 5 min in one spot. Some stayed in longer. Swimming is safe and I recommend giving it a go, especially if you have limited opportunities like this in your lifetime. The catamaran is spotless. Appears very well maintained and cleaned during the excursion. The food was excellent. We chose grilled sea bream and it was wonderful. The sides included pita, tzatziki, pasta salad, potato salad, traditional Greek salad w/feta, shrimp saganaki, stuffed grape leaves (dolmades?), soft drinks, beer, and wine. Grilled chicken and beef were additional meat choices. The views are stunning and our weather was a perfectly clear, sunny day at 71 F and virtually no wind while stopped. Without hesitation, we would do this again and recommend for all adults.

    Must sail with them!!

    Sawina and Natasha were fantastic! Attentive and providing the best service. Snorkeling was amazing, I’ve rarely seen water so clear. They provided lunch on the BBQ and drinks as well

    Buyer beware. Winds matter in the expedience.

    Be aware of the winds when you are close to your sailing date. We had a sunny day but winds were between 40-66 km. They only told us after we boarded that most of the stops would not be accessible. We made one short stop at the sulphur area and then motored back to our departure point. We sat there for 90 minutes while we had lunch. We were unable to go back early and it was a complete waste of time.

    Sailing Catamaran Cruise in Santorini with BBQ, Drinks and Transfer: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santorini.

    How much does Sailing Catamaran Cruise in Santorini with BBQ, Drinks and Transfer cost?

    +

    Prices start at $86 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 Sailing Catamaran Cruise in Santorini with BBQ, Drinks and Transfer 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 Sailing Catamaran Cruise in Santorini with BBQ, Drinks and Transfer worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 669 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 Sailing Catamaran Cruise in Santorini with BBQ, Drinks and Transfer?

    +

    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 Sailing Catamaran Cruise in Santorini with BBQ, Drinks and Transfer 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 Sailing Catamaran Cruise in Santorini with BBQ, Drinks and Transfer?

    +

    Around 234 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 Sailing Catamaran Cruise in Santorini with BBQ, Drinks and Transfer 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.

    What is included in Sailing Catamaran Cruise in Santorini with BBQ, Drinks and Transfer?

    +

    Included: Barbecue meal on board; Blanket (to be returned to the crew); Leaflet with safety instructions in en/fr/es/ch/kr; Floating devices; and Complimentary drinks (Santorinian white wine selection Nychteri, water and soft drinks). Not included: Towels; and Beers. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Sailing Catamaran Cruise in Santorini with BBQ, Drinks and Transfer include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 386 listed pickup locations in and around Santorini. Be ready about 90 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Sailing Catamaran Cruise in Santorini with BBQ, Drinks and Transfer offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Greek and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Sailing Catamaran Cruise in Santorini with BBQ, Drinks and Transfer?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Sailing Catamaran Cruise in Santorini with BBQ, Drinks and Transfer wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Sailing Catamaran Cruise in Santorini with BBQ, Drinks and Transfer if the weather is bad?

    +
