    We went on the sunset cruise and it was amazing. The views were one of a kind and I couldn’t recommend it more seeing the sunset from the top of a catamaran. The swim spots were great and the food was as well. The staff did a great job cooking and taking care of everyone and were very knowledgeable about some history as well. Highly highly recommend booking through this company. It was very convenient how they provided transportation to and from too.

    Fantastic crew, lovely boat, magical views, delicious food and refreshing dips in the sea!
    We loved our sunset cruise and would highly recommend. We were so well looked after by captain Natalia,Spiros and Ellie!We would highly recommend.
    Everything is provided , towels, unlimited drinks and delicious food including bbq chicken, shrimps and mussels.
    Transfers from our hotel were an added bonus and it was just a lovely chill day out on the ocean. Several opportunities to swim and I was surprised the sea wasn’t too cold for it given it was October! The hot springs though is a stretch- more like tepid springs but it was fun nevertheless.
    The day was topped off with the main event - watching the sunset and the beautiful skies that follow from the best advantage point in Santorini. Stunning!
    You would not regret choosing Santorini Star!

    A 10/10 experience! The views are wonderful and the food was fantastic. The water was amazing as well not too cold. The crew was fabulous, very organized, informative and helpful. They had very positive energy! There is bathrooms if needed as well and the boat was kept very clean and comfortable seating was provided. The others you meet were also lovely people. I would definitely go again you get your moneys worth, a very reccomend experience.

    Fantastic, crew are really nice. Well worth it's money. All stops give you adequate time to do things. The volcano walk isn't bad at all. The hot Springs is fun, jump in and enjoy 20 minutes or so . Thirissa is somewhere to grab a bite to eat at the port area, there are a couple of restaurants up the top but you are walking up for around 15 mins. Nice up there but only a few restaurants. The mini market was shut when I went. The Church up here looks nice but it's up to you if you think it's worth the hike up.

    A truly unforgettable experience!

    A trip that was so simple yet really showed the natural beauty of the island of Santorini.

    We first got picked up by a taxi to take us to the port, he was brilliant giving us a little explanation of any interesting points we passed, we stayed quite far out and it was no bother for the collection.

    We then got to the port and waited 10-15 mins before boarding the catamaran. Once we were on board, we had the briefing and we set sail into the Aegean for sunset.

    Our first stop was the ‘Hot’ spring, nothing hot about it! But a cool stop alongside the volcanic rocks and had time for a quick swim in the spring before getting back onto the boat.

    We then headed out with music and drinks to the next stop, around a 40 min journey on the calm sea, with the sun beating down, but plenty of shelter too.

    Drinks were flowing (soft drinks included, beers an additional charge)!

    After passing the Akrotiri lighthouse and round the southern tip of the island we arrived at our second stop, red beach for another swim.

    We then continued to the next stop, white beach where we had a prolonged stop to accommodate for the delicious meal prepared onboard by the crew. For something put together in the middle of the sea, it was honestly incredible great portions too, with leftovers available at the end for more!

    We then headed off to our final stop, around 200 meters from the island to enjoy the stunning sunset that Santorini has to offer, speaking with people from all over the world, and enjoying the sunset.

    Shortly after sunset we then headed back to land where an organised taxi was waiting to take us back to the hotel.

    All in all, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    Great day on the water with Penny & her crew. The catamaran was great as were the lunch & drinks. We made 3 different stops for swimming/snorkeling before seeing the beautiful sunset. Penny was so fun!

    Firstly it’s totally worth it to get out on the water, hike up to Volcano (hard hike in heat for seniors and those out of shape) and swim in the hot springs cove for only 25 euro. We didn’t want a 125 plus euro, 6 hour booze cruise and food, just an afternoon adventure. You will disappointed if your expectations are flowing lava and hottub temperature hot springs. The “hot” springs are just warmer water created by the sulphur bubbling up in the cove. The strong swimmer warning is most likely for people who really don’t know how to swim as you can’t touch the bottom until you get in the cove. It’s an easy swim especially with the noodles! It’s a great afternoon compared to walking shoulder to shoulder with hoards of cruise ship people. We did the 2:30 sailing and there was a long line up at the cable car (cruise ship folks heading home!) so walked down. The donkey poo is dried up and swept, it’s not like tons of fresh stinking piles of it. If you’ve been to a barn before you’ll be fine. Took us about 20 minutes, fairly monotonous down steps (bad knees might be an issue). On way back it was 5:30pm and empty (cruise people all at first sitting of dinner on board!) first ones in line and up. It was a fun experience for my wife and I 62 and 60 (we had just come from the morning chaos of Oia, so a nice change of pace).

    Lovely experience, the boat spotlessly clean and comfortable. Enjoyed the experience but probably would book without the dinner as wasn’t that great, cold and the veg edible. Personally the music wasn’t to our liking more for party boat, preferred music suitable to watch a romantic sunset.

    If you go to Santorini, this is a must do activity! We sailed into the sunset on Summer Boat with Captain Paolo and crew Eleni, Renos and Ekram. What a wonderful 5 hours….. simply amazing! Eleni was just something else. So warm, friendly and what a sense of humour! Loved every minute of it! The food, swimming and the ultimate sunset, just unreal! Something to treasure….a massive thank you to each and every one of you. Unrivalled Greek hospitality at its best! 🥰

    This cruise is 100% worth it! The small group bought a great vibe and it was relaxing.
    The crew on board were very helpful and polite.
    We visited some gorgeous places to swim and snorkel. But the best part of this tour is the bbq food, it was incredible!
    Definitely choose this tour if you're looking for something more relaxing over those boats that cram pack people in!

    We had the most beautiful experience on the catamaran “Enjoy” Captain Kostas was so charming and he sailed us to the most beautiful locations. The water was so tranquil and blue and so refreshing when we all took a dip. Emi his ship mate is so beautiful and so kind, she educated us on all the historic locations that we passed. They cooked us a most delightful lunch/BBQ and drinks. And ended with the most magical sunset on the Aegean. We will certainly be back and will request them again. Greek hospitality at it’s finest!
