Diamond 36 Private Motor Yacht Caldera Cruise

Myself and my wife are here on honeymoon and took a 4 hour 11am-3pm boat trip. The experience was the best we’ve had all week - swimming viewing the fishes, a dip in the hot springs and bbq on board. Really amazing we would definitely recommend. George and Alina were the perfect hosts and gave it a personal touch with how friendly they were. Thanks again.

Our recent private boat tour in Santorini was nothing short of extraordinary, thanks to Alina and Captain George. From the moment we stepped aboard their well equipped and comfortable boat, we knew we were in for a great time! With a family of six, including a lively 6-year-old daughter, our expectations were high, and this tour exceeded every one of them.

We were welcomed aboard with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. Their passion for Santorini and their deep knowledge of the surrounding waters set the tone for a day we'll cherish forever. The boat was so comfortable - lots of places to sit, and even lay out, including many spots for shade - which in August can be almost essential in Santorini. Another essential and pleasant surprise was a very spacious and well equipped bathroom (5 hours, lots of drinks, 4 kids, you get the picture...) and a place to lay down inside.

We made multiple stops for the best swimming spots (blue-blue water), and even a natural hot spring. Alina and Captain George's were so very patient and kind and ensured that our youngest child felt safe and included in every activity (I think that Alina can literally do 3 things at once - cook, tour guide, and chat endlessly to a 6 yr old who is having the time of her life!).

What set this tour apart was the advantage of being on a small boat. Captain George skillfully navigated us to spots that larger vessels couldn't reach. It was a really intimate and cool experience for all of us.

The highlight of our entire trip to Santorini, was undoubtedly the beautiful meal that Alina prepared in the well equipped kitchen on board and George cooked the very best BBQ on the back of the boat while we all swam in the calm waters before our dinner.

From the first bite, we knew this would be an unforgettable meal - in an unforgettable location. It was hands down the best Greek food we've ever had. As parents, we appreciated the care they took in ensuring there were so many options - each child had a favorite dish - and no two were the same! My favorite was the fish that was prepared over the charcoal grill, and my wife's favorite was the potato dish - like nothing we had eaten before.

As the day drew to a close, we were treated to a quintessential Santorini sunset. This really was the perfect ending to a flawless day.

I cannot recommend this enough. Our family, especially our youngest daughter (thanks Alina!), will forever hold these cherished memories close to our hearts.

We booked the 4 hour sunset cruise, captain George and crew member Alina took really good care of us. We had two swim/snorkelling stops and another at the hot springs. They cooked us a huge and fantastically tasty meal (sea bass & chicken with salad). Then we headed back to Oia for the sunset which as usual was beautiful. We can’t recommend it highly enough - just book it!

My husband and I took a yacht tour during our honeymoon with captain George and the lovely Alina and it was the highlight of our time in Santorini. Amazingggg crew, extremely welcoming and polite and the dinner they made us on board was the best meal we’ve ever had! A must when in Santorini ❤️

Sunset cruise with Captain George and Alina gave us an exceptional time out in the evening for 6 of us.

Car journey down was seamless.

Getting onto the boat we couldn’t have been more welcomed and they both couldn’t have been more helpful.

Stopped at three places to swim. One of which was the hot springs, went super close giving us the best experience in there, I recommend taking the pool noodles for an even more relaxed experience. On our next stop we jumped in again and when we got out our bbq was being started. Great food, so much choice delicious wine with it.

The boat ride was fantastic and during it being given great facts about the islands to give us more insight.

Towels provided, toilet only 3 steps down and accessible and bed area where you can get changed. Blankets also provided for when the sun set.

Absolutely fabulous and would defiantly recommend to anyone looking an amazing time around the island.

Beautiful day on the sea with the crew from Santorini yacht. Private transfer from our hotel , along with perfect service in our custom day on the water. One of the staff even prepared a meal from scratch for us in the boat kitchen. Highly recommend this group. .

This sunset cruise was excellent. We spent 5 hours in the great company of Captain Zanis and Alina, who made this an unforgettable experience, the highlight of our Santorini holiday. We were picked up from our hotel as scheduled, The perfect start to a perfect afternoon. We really enjoyed visiting all the locations that you can only reach by boat. The BBQ dinner was fantastic, worthy of any top restaurant. Having the boat just to ourselves was the perfect way to enjoy this experience. The Diamond 36 has all the comforts that you could wish for including a cabin to change in, a toilet, cushions on the front of the boat, a large dining area, shower and fluffy towels. It was well worth the cost. This is the perfect way to explore The Caldera.

George & Alina provided us an extraordinary experience touring the island of Santorini! Recommend! Great music, great knowledge and great service. The food was INCREDIBLE!

Our private sunset cruise with Captain George and First Mate (Sailor) Demitrius was the highlight of our Santorini vacation.

The yacht was brand new and flawless, but George and Demitrius were great company and fantastic guides. George is from Oia and has many stories -- he'll even point out the church he was married in! Demitrius is new to sailing, but we couldn't tell! He was also an A+ photographer and an incredibly hard worker.

We followed the "standard" sunset cruise path that many boats and catamarans follow - but as a private cruise on a smaller boat, we were able to dictate how long we spent at each location and could get much closer than other boats to the coast (which was particularly helpful for snorkeling!).

The biggest surprise of our cruise was just how amazing the food was. We are vegans and they prepared a special menu. George even made (from scratch) a homemade pasta sauce that his grandmother taught him to make. This may have been our best meal in all of Greece!

In any case, we highly recommend our experience with Santorini Yachting Club.

Our group of 6 friends completed a half-day cruise with this company and had an AMAZING experience. Yiorgos and Yiannis brought us to all of the best spots to experience a very private and memorable day on the sea. Aside from many world class swimming spots, they made us an amazing meal from scratch. We HIGHLY recommend this experience, thank you so much Yiorgos and Yiannis for the memories! We can't say enough great things.
