The boat slips from Ammoudi Bay and the caldera opens like a map of fire and sea — black volcanic cliffs standing guard as the catamaran turns toward the submerged crater. On a day cruise the Aegean brims with light; on a sunset tour the sea becomes a slow clock, pulling warm gold across the hull.

The boat slips from Ammoudi Bay and the caldera opens like a map of fire and sea — black volcanic cliffs standing guard as the catamaran turns toward the submerged crater. On a day cruise the Aegean brims with light; on a sunset tour the sea becomes a slow clock, pulling warm gold across the hull.
This private Lagoon catamaran carries up to 12 guests and follows the volcanic rim that shaped Santorini's dramatic cliffs during the Minoan-era eruption. You’ll pass the active islet of Nea Kameni, circle the sulfur-scented Hot Springs and sail past Red and White Beaches carved from ash and pumice. The route threads historic markers — a working lighthouse, Indian Rock outcrops and tiny fishing coves like Mesa Pigadia — all visible from deck.
Onboard, local flavors anchor the experience: mezzes, seasonal fruit, and a BBQ main (chicken, pork or kebab) complemented by Santorinian wine and ouzo. There’s snorkeling gear and SUPs for exploratory swims at White Beach; towels and blankets are provided for chillier evenings.
Practicalities: tours run about five hours (day departures ~10:00, sunset ~15:00) and include private transfers. Expect uneven boarding at Ammoudi and brief swims from the anchored boat — basic mobility and comfort in small-boat environments help. Reserve early in summer; provide passenger details and meal choices ahead of boarding. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a lightweight layer for sunset, a charged camera and motion-sickness meds if you’re sensitive. The cruise balances relaxed luxury with active sea time — perfect for couples or small groups who want both swimming and a curated view of Santorini’s raw coastline.
Departures and returns are from Ammoudi Bay in Oia; private transportation from island accommodations can be arranged and confirmed after booking.
