Hands down the best experience!

OMG! If you are looking for a truly memorable and luxurious experience, look no further! From the pick up to drop off, these folks made us feel like celebrities. The boat was epic, the food was world class, but the best part was the staff, they are world class, these guys really know how to do it right!

Amazing Sunset Cruise for Families

We took a private sunset cruise with Spiridakos Sailing this past August 2026. It was an amazing experience for our family. We traveled with 10 people, including 3 children and older parents. The boat was beautiful and very comfortable for everyone. The trip around Santorini was breathtaking. We enjoyed jumping off the boat and all of the fun sea toys they had available for use. Watching the sunset from the cruise was the highlight of our trip. The crew was so much fun, played the best music and was incredibly thoughtful. The food on the boat was great too. Even my 7 year old raved about the grilled chicken. Highly recommend for a family trip! It's the only way to go in Santorini!

Best day of our cruise!!!! Book this….you won’t regret it!

This operation really has it together! From pick up to drop off, everything was literally perfection. They picked us up right where our tender boat dropped us off. We boarded the most beautiful catamaran and met the 4 crew members. Yes, 4 crew members and 4 of us! Vito and Xena were the deck crew that took care of us all day. I can’t remember our captain’s name. They let me hook up to the speaker so we could listen to our playlists. We stopped first to see a cute little church on the water and a sunken ferry boat. The water is so clear you could see straight to the bottom. Then we stopped in the hot springs. They definitely aren’t “hot”…..but they are warmer than the sea water. It was a pretty cool experience, but not really what I had pictured. Vito told us all about the island and the volcanos. He was very knowledgeable and his English was great. We stopped at a black beach where you could swim, snorkel, or paddleboard to the beach if you wanted. They also have really nice floaties to relax in. Again, super clear water. Not many fish to see, but that’s expected in Greece. We then moved to another beautiful swimming spot. They cooked our lunch on a grill right on the back of the boat. I think there was enough food for 10 people. Bread, cheese, salad, grape leaves, pasta, chicken, sausage, and shrimp! Xena did the cooking. She’s an amazing cook! It was one of the best meals, and you couldn’t beat the view while we ate! They kept the white wine and beer coming all day. Our glasses were never empty! We stopped one last place to swim where there were lots of other boats moored up so that was fun. Back to the dock, said our goodbyes and a driver took us back to town. This is where the day took a turn (at no fault of the tour operator). Cars can drive down to the dock where the tender boats are, so you options are to ride a donkey, walk for 30 minutes down very steep/uneven steps, or take the cable car. My husband walked in flip flops. He made it, but he said he would never do it again in flip flops. He would if he had tennis shoes on and 2 beers:). The rest of us took the cable car and the line was really long. There is no way of telling how long they wait is when you get in line. We waited about an hour, but I heard the wait can get to 3 or 4 hours. If I had it to do over I would have brought tennis shoes and walked down, or rode a donkey, but I felt sorry for them :(.

Great catamaran boat,...

Great catamaran boat, lavatory, and views during the sail. Crew was outstanding and meal was gourmet level.

THE BEST EVENT

Best thing I did in Santorini!! Aylin was the sweetest guide and SO FUN. They all brought the best vibes and the food is THE BEST. If you do one thing in Santorini it has to be this! We went on the caldera and it was the best time!
