This is my first time going on a catamaran in Santorini, and I love it. The weather is a bit chilly since it’s mid-November. I didn’t go swimming, but it didn’t take away the fantastic experience and the views. The crew was delightful and friendly. The food was excellent. Watching the sunset was lovely. I highly recommend this company to anyone. You won’t be disappointed.

The crew, food and of course the cruise and destinations around Santorini were amazing. The sunset never fails. I highly recommend this excursion with this provider. Bravo!
