Must do in Oia Santorini!
Amazing sunset boat cruise!!!! The boat was amazing and so was the staff. The food was also top notch! We were on the second largest boat of their fleet of 40 and it couldn't have been better from a wonderful pickup to the end and drop off. They have snorkeling equipment and floating foam noodles if you wish to swim. The boat wasn't crowded and we enjoyed meeting many others on board. Thank you to Evie, Marios, Ellie and Chris for an amazing day/evening on the water!

Incredible Experience, Worth Every Penny
Went as a family to celebrate my parents' 30th anniversary and it was absolutely incredible!! Eleni, George, and Dimitris did such a great job keeping everything organized, safe, and comfortable. The food was delicious and plentiful, and the views were spectacular. It honestly felt like the height of luxury and is definitely one of the highlights of the trip. Would 100% recommend.

Sunset Oia Private Cruise
We rode on the exclusive boat and had an incredible day. Manolis, Kevin, Spyros, and Evita were the best crew we could’ve had. The food was delicious, and whether we were sailing the water or swimming we had the best time. We had a private group of 34, and I couldn’t recommend this enough as an activity in Santorini. The total price as well as additional drinks for our group were well worth the value.

Sunset Oia -great experience.
Great afternoon experience with Captain Alex and Steve. Wonderful tour full of interesting history of Santorini. Great meal on the boat. Swimming, diving, diving, paddling. The crew made our afternoon feel special. Clean boat and well maintained. AAA++++. Would highly recommend Sunset Oia.

Santorini Luxury Catamaran Sunset Cruise with BBQ, Drink and Transfer: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santorini.
How much does Santorini Luxury Catamaran Sunset Cruise with BBQ, Drink and Transfer cost?
+
Prices start at $149 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 Luxury Catamaran Sunset Cruise with BBQ, Drink 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 Santorini Luxury Catamaran Sunset Cruise with BBQ, Drink and Transfer worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 86 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 400 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Santorini, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Santorini Luxury Catamaran Sunset Cruise with BBQ, Drink 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 Santorini Luxury Catamaran Sunset Cruise with BBQ, Drink 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 Santorini Luxury Catamaran Sunset Cruise with BBQ, Drink and Transfer?
+
Around 140 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 Luxury Catamaran Sunset Cruise with BBQ, Drink 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 Santorini Luxury Catamaran Sunset Cruise with BBQ, Drink and Transfer?
+
Included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; Blanket ( to be returned to the crew); Free beer, white wine, soft drinks, bottled water, juice; Towels (to be returned to the crew); and Snorkeling equipment (to be returned to the crew). Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Santorini Luxury Catamaran Sunset Cruise with BBQ, Drink and Transfer include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 366 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 Santorini Luxury Catamaran Sunset Cruise with BBQ, Drink 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.

+

+
