What are the various Santorini Sailing Cruises offered?

• Santorini Daytime Sailing Cruises

A Standard Daytime Catamaran Cruise is the best choice for anyone who can’t get enough of the bright Greek sunlight. It is the finest way to start the day while taking in the island’s mesmerizing sceneries starting at around 10:30 in the morning, and it is especially ideal for anyone who wishes to swim at various locations when the sun is still on the rise. A Standard Daytime Catamaran Cruise is a Santorini day tour that should not be missed when looking for an amazing midday experience, and is frequently recommended for families with young children. You can choose between Semi-private Cruises or Private Cruises according to your levels of social interaction mood on the day. Different boat types or service levels on board are also yours to choose.

• Santorini Sunset Sailing Cruises

The Standard Sunset Catamaran Cruise has always been one of the most popular sailing excursions. This Santorini sunset caldera cruise is a romantic and wonderful experience ideally suited to couples. The boat is docked in a prime location at the caldera’s foot as the sun sets to witness the most breathtaking sunset in the history of the planet. When you thought life doesn’t get much better than this, we offer you an specially curated dinner on board that includes local specialties paired with refreshing soft beverages and eclectic Santorinian white wine. Levels of privacy, service of boat types still vary, and you can also customize this experience according to your romance state, choosing between honeymoon cruises, wedding proposals cruises and so on.

• Santorini Full-Day Private Sailing Cruise

Anyone looking for the ultimate in luxury experience at sea should take the Full-Day Private Azimut Motor Yacht Cruise. Step on board the roomy vessel in the morning for up to ten hours at sea to celebrate a special occasion like a bachelorette private party sailing, a romantic getaway with your significant other, or simply to enjoy your Greek sea escapade with close friends. The best part about a private tour is the obvious – you have complete privacy and the crew’s undivided attention the entire day. Create a schedule that suits your needs with private sea tours in Santorini, while indulging in delectable meals and revitalizing beverages all day long.

 

Which vessel is ideal for sailing around Santorini?

Sailboat preferences are arbitrary and depend on individual preferences. But the traditional Santorini sailing experience is mostly on a catamaran luxury yacht, which is understandable for a number of reasons. In a region like Santorini, where it can be windy, especially in the summer, catamarans are great because they are sturdy, quick enough, and work in harmony with the wind and sea current rather than against them. Motor yachts are preferred for a more edgy, modern vibe and are ideal for speed lovers.

 

What necessities should I bring on my Santorini Sailing Cruise?

It is never a good idea to carry non-necessary, extra items that take up space and are difficult to keep track of. On the other hand, packing the right things results in a very enjoyable experience. Depending on whether you choose a daytime or a sunset Santorini sailing cruise, there are some variables in what to bring with you on board. As a rule of thumb, here are your packing essentials:

• Agreeable clothes and comfy, rubber soled shoes that you don’t mind getting messed up or wet. Avoid flip flops which can be a trip hazard. When in doubt, go barefoot on board.
• Sunscreen, sunglasses, a long-sleeved shirt, and a hat that can be secured. 
• Dark-coloured swimwear, particularly if you plan to swim in the hot springs.
• For the evening or on days when it’s very windy, bring a light jacket or sweater.
• An extra change of clothes, especially if you plan to carry on with your day at the island after your Santorini sailing cruise is over.
