Great for scenic views, not if your priority is swimming
I had a good experience, staff was friendly and scenic views of Santorini were beautiful. However only disappointment was lack of swimming time. Its advertised 30 minutes stop per spot, but we only had 5 (less than 10) minutes at the hot springs and I was one of the first people off boat (possibly due to our boat leaving the dock 15 minutes late and running out of time). The second spot we had about 10-15 and the third dinner spot we had 20 minutes. I wanted to enjoy more swimming but they were very tight on schedule and I'm unsure why there was minimal time allocated when advertised as a swimming tour. Otherwise I did enjoy the cruise, if you're looking for pass-by key locations only.

Recommended activity on Santorini
Pro: Overall, I would recommend this trip. It was good to get out on the water. Our crew was very fun, engaging and professional. The food was excellent. Noodles, towels and snorkeling equipment were available. Con: Transportation to the dock took quite a while. We spent more time than I would have liked staying at our swimming locations. It was very hot and was much cooler when the catamaran was moving. Communication wasn't great as to how many swimming spots we would go to and how long we would stay at each. When I asked the crew at our second swimming stop, if we would have another opportunity to swim, we were told that we would, but he said that at the last location, the water was sulfurous and anyone with health problems or asthma shouldn't swim. Also due to the sulfur, if the swimmer was wearing a light-colored bathing suit, the water could turn it yellow. We only had 5 more minutes left to swim at the 2nd location . If I had known about the condition of the 3rd swimming spot, I would have taken advantage of the 2nd swimming spot. As it was, I swam at the 3rd spot and it was fun.

Fantastic time!
We had a great time! The ship was lovely, the crew (Ilius, Giannis and Raphael)was fun, they put out a very nice spread and the Captain Nikos positioned use perfectly for the sunset!

We would go again!
We sailed, swam, snorkeled, and ate delicious meal and danced as promised. The captain and crew were skilled and gracious and shared just enough information. Even in September we found the water enjoyable so we stayed in as long as was allowable. We would go again to experience this beautiful place on the water.

Fantastic Sunset Cruise with food and drinks!!!
Boat name was Lagoon 500. Our captain was Elvin and the crew was Silia and Vasilis. It was an awesome sunset cruise! The food was fabulous, I had the chicken and all the sides, it was amazing! I highly recommend this cruise with these crew members and captain!

Sunset Sailing Catamaran Cruise in Santorini with BBQ and Drinks: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santorini.
How much does Sunset Sailing Catamaran Cruise in Santorini with BBQ and Drinks cost?
+
Prices start at $86 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 Sunset Sailing Catamaran Cruise in Santorini with BBQ and 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 Sunset Sailing Catamaran Cruise in Santorini with BBQ and Drinks worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 1,231 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Santorini, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Sunset Sailing Catamaran Cruise in Santorini with BBQ and 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 Sunset Sailing Catamaran Cruise in Santorini with BBQ and 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 Sunset Sailing Catamaran Cruise in Santorini with BBQ and Drinks?
+
Around 431 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 Sunset Sailing Catamaran Cruise in Santorini with BBQ and 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 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 Sunset Sailing Catamaran Cruise in Santorini with BBQ and Drinks?

+

What languages is Sunset Sailing Catamaran Cruise in Santorini with BBQ and Drinks offered in?
+
