About this experience
The Day Cruise begins from the port of Vlychada at the Southern part of Santorini. We sail close to the Red and the White beach, with our first stop ashore the Black Mountain for a swim! Put your goggles on! We carry on our sailing adventure pass the Venetian Light house in Akrotiri, entering the majestic Caldera of Santorini! “Keep your ear to the ground”, as the guided part of the cruise begins…! Keep your eyes open and admire the volcanic area, where the spectacular soil horizon colours at the cliffs of the Caldera will simply amaze you! While heading towards the Hot Springs, let the energy of the Volcano and the spirit of the island shake you up! Next stop is Thirassia island, a fishermen’s island, ideal for swimming and snorkelling. The cruise ends in one of the most amazing spots in Santorini, the old harbour of Ammoudi. In Oia. (Shhh…there might be some spare time for a pit-stop at Agios Nikolaos before disembarkation...!)

our wonderful experience on S/Y Atlantis on July
we went on “S/Y Atlantis” and it was without a doubt an experience we would repeat. From the very beginning until the end staff were nothing but helpful and nice to us. We had a lovely afternoon, including a delicious BBQ. We topped it off watching the sunset hearing some Spanish music of our choice. I would highlight how they where always explaining and teaching us about the island as the tour went on, we had fun and learned a lot about Santorini! Thank you for the experience and a special thank you to the wonderful staff.

Amazing and relaxing experience
We had an absolutely amazing time on the Caldera catamaran cruise! ⛵️🌊 Captain Savvins, Maria, and Dimitris were incredible — so welcoming, hospitable, friendly, and so much fun! They made us feel completely at home and made the whole experience unforgettable. The BBQ was delicious, with traditional Greek salads, rice, and plenty of unlimited drinks. Everything was fresh, tasty, and beautifully prepared. There were 9 of us in the group, and we all had such a wonderful time. The atmosphere, the views, the food, and especially the amazing crew made this one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend this cruise to anyone looking for a fun, relaxing, and unforgettable day on the water! 🇬🇷❤️ all the best to the beautiful crew. Frank & Maria
Response from the operator: Dear Frank & Maria, Thank you so much for such a heart-warming and glowing review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that your catamaran cruise was one of the highlights of your trip. Captain Savvas, Maria, and Dimitris will be so touched to read your kind words—they take immense pride in making every guest feel at home, and knowing that your group of 9 had such a fun, memorable time means everything to them! We're also glad you enjoyed the fresh Greek BBQ, salads, and drinks on board. Thank you for choosing Caldera Yachting and for your high recommendation. We send our warmest wishes back to you both, and we hope to welcome you all on board again in the future!

Why this scores 75
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Santorini Caldera Gold Day Cruise with BBQ on board and Open Bar: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santorini.
How much does Santorini Caldera Gold Day Cruise with BBQ on board and Open Bar cost?
+
Prices start at $160 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 Santorini Caldera Gold Day Cruise with BBQ on board and Open Bar 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 Santorini Caldera Gold Day Cruise with BBQ on board and Open Bar worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 177 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 Santorini Caldera Gold Day Cruise with BBQ on board and Open Bar?
+
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 Santorini Caldera Gold Day Cruise with BBQ on board and Open Bar 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 Santorini Caldera Gold Day Cruise with BBQ on board and Open Bar?
+
Around 62 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 Santorini Caldera Gold Day Cruise with BBQ on board and Open Bar 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.
