    An absolute must !!!

    We had the most wonderful time. The crew and service was unmatched- supportive, helpful and so kind. I will book this every time we return - it was a dream and the perfect last day on this amazing island. 💕🇬🇷 🙏 they don’t allow us to rate 10 stars but if we could, we would. Highlight of our trip

    Response from the operator: If we could receive 10 stars, we’d happily take them! 😍✨ Knowing the cruise became the highlight of your trip and the perfect way to spend your last day in Santorini means so much to us. We’ll be looking forward to welcoming you back every time you return to the island! ⛵💕

    Simply amazing! Book it!

    Fantastic experience from start to finish and we were just sad our day had to end we enjoyed it so much! we were collected by mini bus from our hotel by Andy for a very short pleasant journey to the dock to find our beautiful Catamaran ‘Sophia’ and an all female crew of Captain Natalia, Helen and Georgia all very friendly and welcoming these 3 wonderful young women are a real credit to this company! we booked a private day cruise direct and all communication pre cruise day with Yannis was exceptional! Our cruise day started with safety explantion by Helen then relaxing with drinks and delicious finger food on the very comfortable top deck as we sailed away! We spent over 5 hours on board and were sad to get off we wanted to stay on we had such a great time. All 3 young sailors were very knowledgeable and attwntive and looked after us both so well myself and my husband were very impressed. We had time to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Santorini and quite a few opportunities to swim in the crystal blue waters off the boat. Food prepared by Helen and Georgia was absolutely delicious and drinks in abundance to! I did order extra champagne and lobster worth every penny! I would highly recommend this company and if you can afford it then book a private cruise. Next time i want all day plus sunset! thankyou ladies you are amazing! Shelly and Gareth from Wales

    Response from the operator: Being sad to leave Sophia says everything about what a special day you had! 🥰 Captain Natalia, Helen and Georgia will be thrilled by your beautiful words. We're so pleased you loved the private experience, delicious food, swimming stops and attentive service from beginning to end. Thank you, Shelly and Gareth, for such a heartfelt recommendation. We hope next time we get to welcome you for that all day sunset adventure! 🌅🥂💙

    Absolutely perfect from start to finish!!!!!

    BEST DAY EVER!!!! We were a group of four and booked the private sunset cruise and it was honestly one of the best experiences we’ve ever had. From the incredible service to the amazing food, beautiful swim spots and learning about Santorini along the way, every part of the day was perfect. The crew went above and beyond to make us feel so welcome and made the whole experience unforgettable. It was without a doubt one of the highlights of our trip and we only wish we could do it all over again. Thank you so much for your incredible hospitality and for creating memories we’ll cherish forever. We can’t recommend this experience enough.

    Response from the operator: Reading your review truly made our day! Knowing that your private sunset cruise became one of the most unforgettable parts of your holiday is incredibly rewarding for our entire team.

    Santorini Private Catamaran Cruise and Therasia Island: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Santorini Private Catamaran Cruise and Therasia Island cost?

    +

    Prices start at $147 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 Private Catamaran Cruise and Therasia Island 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 Private Catamaran Cruise and Therasia Island worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 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 Santorini Private Catamaran Cruise and Therasia Island?

    +

    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 Private Catamaran Cruise and Therasia Island 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 Private Catamaran Cruise and Therasia Island?

    +

    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 Santorini Private Catamaran Cruise and Therasia Island 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.
