The catamaran vessel that is used on this tour is motor-powered and wind-powered(sails). Its sails might or might not be used/opened, subject to weather conditions and captain’s judgement. This is a gentle note for guests that are opting for a pure sailing experience on board a non-motorized sailing boat.

DISCLAIMER FOR CRUISE PASSENGERS Please note that this tour is mainly designed for hotel guests. Cruise passengers are welcome to join this tour as long as their logistics work out with the duration of this tour and pickup time / drop off time. This tour picks up and drops off guests coming on a cruise at the McDonalds in Fira Town - not the cruise port. To reach the McDonald's in Fira Town, you must take a tender from your ship and a cable car from the cruise port to get to the meeting point for this tour (McDonald's in Fira Town), where you may or may not experience delays along way to get there. In addition, please note that this tour is flexible and might start or end later than advertised. Please note that 24 hours or less before departure, your tickets are not redeemable for partial or full refunds - regardless of whether you can finally take this tour or not due to cruise ship delays, long lines, or any other force majeure circumstances you may experience.
There is WC on the catamaran yacht, that can be used both as restroom and changing room.
Difference between the Luxury Morning Cruise and the Classic Morning Cruise: The main difference between the luxury morning cruise and the classic morning cruise is that the luxury morning cruise starts from the Ammoudi Pier of Oia Town while the classic morning cruise departs and returns at the marina of Vlychada(south part). By choosing the luxury morning cruise tour option you will be practically sailing on a longer route and maximising your sightseeing opportunities. Swimming is included in all morning cruises, there will be 2 swimming stops performed for 20-30 minutes each. Both the luxury and the classic morning cruise are a mix of sightseeing and swimming, a 60-70% of sightseeing and a 30-40% of swimming. Both morning cruises are relaxing, and fun and you will be enjoying a Greek meal served "family style" including drinks such as white wine, beer, or sodas.

Board a luxury catamaran yacht and cruise along the caldera cliffs of Santorini for a top-notch experience on the water, cruising towards the Red and White beaches, trying your hand at swimming at the warm springs of the volcano, and enjoying a full Greek meal with drinks prepared on board.
