Fabulous Crew and Sunset Experience
We booked a private trip with another couple and we sailed on the Kallisti 38. Our captain was Ahtrianna and our mate was Stavros. It was a perfect afternoon and evening based on the weather, sunset, food and our hosts. Our sailing crew were super personable and accommodating. This cruise was one of the top highlights of our two weeks in Greece.

Great experience , recommended for everyone to try .
This was a great way to experience Santorini from the water. Our tour offered drinks and food that was really good . We stopped at 3 different spots along the way and swam and snorkeled. We were also with a great group of food on the tour.

Favorite experience in Santorini
Our day cruise was one of the highlights of our time in Santorini. Transfer to/from hotel was seamless. We did the diamond cruise as a couple and joined 3 other families. We swam, we snorkeled, we relaxed, we ate delicious food (and discovered shrimp saganaki, which we now love), and we enjoyed the wonderful company of Giannis, Angela, and Ilias. We did not want the cruise to end! I even said I wish we could just hop back on and take the sunset cruise. Maybe next time!

Santorini Luxury Sailing Catamaran Cruise with BBQ, Drinks and Transfer: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santorini.
How much does Santorini Luxury Sailing Catamaran Cruise with BBQ, Drinks and Transfer cost?
+
Prices start at €55 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 Sailing Catamaran Cruise 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 Santorini Luxury Sailing Catamaran Cruise with BBQ, Drinks and Transfer worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 460 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 Luxury Sailing Catamaran Cruise 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 Santorini Luxury Sailing Catamaran Cruise 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 Santorini Luxury Sailing Catamaran Cruise with BBQ, Drinks and Transfer?
+
Around 161 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 Sailing Catamaran Cruise 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 Santorini Luxury Sailing Catamaran Cruise with BBQ, Drinks and Transfer?

Does Santorini Luxury Sailing Catamaran Cruise with BBQ, Drinks and Transfer include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 358 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 Sailing Catamaran Cruise with BBQ, Drinks and Transfer offered in?
+
