Why Choose a Private Yacht Tour?

Unlike traditional group cruises, a private yacht tour allows you to enjoy Santorini at your own pace. You'll have a captain and crew at your service, flexible departure times, and a personalized itinerary tailored to your preferences.

Want to swim in secluded coves?

Watch the sunset from the middle of the caldera?

Sip wine while drifting past whitewashed villages?

It's all up to you.

Sunset Cruises - A Santorini Classic

A sunset cruise is arguably the most iconic yacht experience on the island. You'll set off in the late afternoon, swim or relax while enjoying onboard snacks or a light meal, and then witness the sun dip below the sea with Oia's cliffs glowing in the background. Romantic, peaceful, and utterly photogenic.
