Amazing Catamaran Sunset Cruise
We had an absolutely fantastic catamaran day cruise and couldn’t recommend the experience highly enough! Captain Nick, skipper Tad and our hostess Tina were the ultimate dream team. From the very beginning, they made everyone feel completely at ease, clearly explaining the plan for the day and taking us through all the necessary safety information before setting off. Throughout the cruise, we were able to relax and enjoy the whole catamaran, stopping at three beautiful spots to swim in the Aegean Sea. Along the way, the team also shared interesting information about Santorini’s coastline, beaches and history, which made the experience even more memorable. The food on board was delicious, the atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable with great music, and watching the Santorini sunset from the catamaran was the perfect cherry on top, a moment from our honeymoon that will stay with us for a lifetime. A huge thank you to Captain Nick, Tad and Tina for making the day so special. We would highly recommend a catamaran trip with Santorini Sailing Centre, you won’t be disappointed!

Excellent cruise and fabulous food
We opted for the sunset cruise and it was spectacular. The crew and captain Nick, Mario and Tina) were amazing. Food was excellent and plenty of drink choices. Also accommodated gluten allergy. Swimming stops were great and for good amounts of time. The bbq fish was just divine - and the setting next to the volcano made it even more special. Thank yo Nick, Mario and Tina!😊

Santorini: Small Group Catamaran Cruise with BBQ Fish & Drinks: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santorini.
How much does Santorini: Small Group Catamaran Cruise with BBQ Fish & Drinks cost?
+
Prices start at $132 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: Small Group Catamaran Cruise with BBQ Fish & Drinks 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: Small Group Catamaran Cruise with BBQ Fish & Drinks worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 75 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: Small Group Catamaran Cruise with BBQ Fish & Drinks?
+
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: Small Group Catamaran Cruise with BBQ Fish & Drinks 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: Small Group Catamaran Cruise with BBQ Fish & Drinks?
+
Around 26 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: Small Group Catamaran Cruise with BBQ Fish & Drinks 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 Private Santorini Tailor Made - Choice of the Guest!, Half Day Premium Catamaran Cruise in Santorini including Oia, 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: Small Group Catamaran Cruise with BBQ Fish & Drinks?
+

Does Santorini: Small Group Catamaran Cruise with BBQ Fish & Drinks include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 540 listed pickup locations in and around Santorini. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Santorini: Small Group Catamaran Cruise with BBQ Fish & Drinks?
+
