Next, you will swim in the bay of the island Thirasia, in the west side of the Caldera and enjoy a homemade meal, cooked on board, with ingredients mostly produced in Santorini.

    Wonderful captain, beautiful views, delicious food and awesome sailing

    As a former sailor, I always seek out sailing cruises on monohulls because I know it will have a higher chance of being able to experience the power of the wind and sails as opposed to being on a larger catamaran that usually tend to motor around. George was wonderful and very polite and generous with the pickup and drop off to/from our accommodations (on the other end of the island), and told us the history of the island and his story of how he started Angel Sailing. Onboard, he was extremely knowledgeable and was able to captain the boat singlehanded but made wonderful use and guided his first mate Pablos to help with trimming the sails. The winds were a bit stronger than expected and we did not have the full sails out, but we still managed to cruise around at ~17-20 knots. His tour around the Caldera and the lunch on board was fantastic and the snorkeling was a lot of fun too (my wife and I ended up staying in the water a bit longer than everyone expected because we enjoyed watching for the fishes). The whole day was a wonderful experience and made it a perfect birthday experience for my partner. Highly recommend!

    A must-do sailing experience in Santorini

    We had a wonderful day sailing with Angel Sailing. George was a kind, engaging and entertaining host, taking time to talk to us about the island, its history and coastline, explaining sailing techniques and even instructing on the best onboard social media poses for my eldest daughter!! He and Paulos made sure we were very well looked after, providing a delicious lunch after a swim in crystal clear waters. The olive oil from George’s farm is not to be missed!! The route taken also ensured we were not surrounded by too many other tourist boats and overall we had an experience we will not forget. I would highly recommend without any hesitation.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your 5-Star review!!

    Amazing boat cruise

    The experience was amazing! We had our 2.5 year old daughter with us who was able to take a nap on the boat, enjoyed the swim, food (they made special pasta for her) and danced on a way back. It was great time and very personable! Highly recommend as catamarans can be bumpy especially with kids. Monohulls are actually better through the wave! Captain was the best and even helped us with the next island to organize the boat.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your 5-Star review!!

    Sea exploration of the caldera

    Incredible day exploring the caldera. The food was freshly cooked and amazing, the guides were both knowledgeable and interesting; swimming with the fishes was an excellent experience and they let us drive the boat! 10/10 would recommend if visiting Santorini.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your 5-Star review!!

    Santorini Private Daytime Sailing Cruise with Meal, Drinks &Transfer included: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Santorini Private Daytime Sailing Cruise with Meal, Drinks &Transfer included cost?

    +

    Prices start at $616 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 Daytime Sailing Cruise with Meal, Drinks &Transfer included 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 Daytime Sailing Cruise with Meal, Drinks &Transfer included worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 100 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 Daytime Sailing Cruise with Meal, Drinks &Transfer included?

    +

    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 Daytime Sailing Cruise with Meal, Drinks &Transfer included 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 Daytime Sailing Cruise with Meal, Drinks &Transfer included?

    +

    Around 35 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 Daytime Sailing Cruise with Meal, Drinks &Transfer included 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 Private Daytime Sailing Cruise with Meal, Drinks &Transfer included?

    +

    Included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; Private tour; and Local guide/captain (on board) willing to inform you about the mysteries of the island. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Santorini Private Daytime Sailing Cruise with Meal, Drinks &Transfer included include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 7 listed pickup locations in and around Santorini. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Santorini Private Daytime Sailing Cruise with Meal, Drinks &Transfer included offered in?

    +

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

    Is Santorini Private Daytime Sailing Cruise with Meal, Drinks &Transfer included wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Santorini Private Daytime Sailing Cruise with Meal, Drinks &Transfer included if the weather is bad?
