That one excursion everyone loves in summer: Catamaran Santorini sunset cruise
There is nothing better than spending an afternoon on the open sea, admiring the Santorini landscape, sipping a refreshing drink, and jumping into crystal-clear waters for a swim.
A catamaran Santorini sunset cruise has become one of the most popular experiences on the island — and there are many reasons why!
All-inclusive experience
From the moment you step into the transfer minibus until you return to CAVELAND, your carefree island adventure begins.
The Santorini catamaran tour includes transportation to and from Vlychada, one of Santorini’s most charming marinas. Once you step onboard, everything is taken care of. Drinks, delicious homemade food, music, and a local guide sharing stories about the island are all included.
All you need to bring is your swimsuit, sunscreen, and your adventurous spirit. Don’t forget to grab a towel from our reception before you leave!
The incredible coastline
One of the best things about a catamaran Santorini cruise is that you get to see parts of the island that are only accessible from the sea.
The boat sails along the southern coast of Santorini, passing some of the island’s most famous beaches. You’ll see the dramatic Red Beach from the safest viewpoint — the water. Because of the daily risk of landslides and falling rocks, viewing it from a boat is the best way to experience its unique volcanic cliffs.
Next comes White Beach, famous for its bright rock formations, small sea caves, and turquoise waters. It’s the perfect place to jump in for a refreshing swim.
The volcano experience
After exploring the beaches, the Santorini catamaran tour continues towards one of the island’s most iconic landmarks: the volcano.
You’ll sail past the black beach of Mesa Pigadia and around the famous Akrotiri lighthouse before reaching the volcanic islands of Nea Kameni and Palea Kameni. Santorini itself is a giant sleeping volcano, and this area lets you truly feel the power of the landscape that created the island.
The boat stops here for another unforgettable swim, often near the famous hot springs between the volcanic islands.
Sunset at sea
A catamaran Santorini sunset cruise is special for one final reason: the sunset.
After enjoying a delicious meal onboard, you slowly sail back towards the marina while the sky changes colours above the Aegean Sea. The gentle waves, the golden light, and a drink in your hand create the perfect ending to a magical day.

Sharing a Santorini catamaran cruise with a group of like-minded travellers makes the experience even better. It’s a fun way to meet people, relax, and see a completely different side of the island.

Just remember — this experience is one of the most popular things to do in Santorini, and it often sells out quickly. Don’t wait until the last minute!
