Start your day with an exclusive private sail along Santorini’s most dramatic coastline — calm seas and crystal-clear water, just for your group.
The Private Morning Sailing Cruise gives you the entire catamaran exclusively for your group for a 5-hour morning voyage along Santorini’s extraordinary volcanic coastline. Departing at 10:00 AM, the sea is at its calmest and the light is crystal clear — perfect conditions for snorkeling, swimming, and photography, with no other passengers competing for space or views.
Your private Lagoon Catamaran sails south from Vlychada Marina along the volcanic coast, stopping at Red Beach and White Beach with just your group. Swim in secluded coves, snorkel along the volcanic rock formations, and enjoy a freshly prepared BBQ meal and Santorini wine aboard your own private vessel. Your dedicated crew of 2–3 attends exclusively to you throughout the cruise — there is no one else on board.
This is an ideal option for families with children, couples seeking privacy, or small groups of friends who want a personal, unhurried sailing experience entirely tailored to their own pace and preferences. You set the rhythm — if you want to stay longer at Red Beach, you stay. If you want another round of wine, it is poured.
The private morning charter is also a popular choice for guests who would like to do a morning sail and then a sunset sail later in their trip — each offers a completely different experience, and both are exceptional.
10:00 AM — Departure. Private transfers bring you to Vlychada Marina. The crew welcomes you aboard with chilled wine and a tour of your private catamaran before you set sail.
10:30 AM — Red Beach. Your first stop along the volcanic southern coastline. The morning light on the red volcanic cliffs is extraordinary — crystal clear, shadows still long, and the beach almost empty at this hour. Snorkel along the cliff base, swim in the clear water, and take your time.
11:30 AM — White Beach. Continue to White Beach, accessible only by boat. The brilliant white pumice of the cliffs against the deep blue water is one of the most striking sights in Santorini. Another snorkel stop, another swim — entirely at your own pace.
12:30 PM — BBQ on Deck. The crew fires up the BBQ as you sail. Grilled chicken and shrimp, Specialty Salad, Pasta Napolitana, and fresh finger foods are served on deck with Santorini wine and cold beer as you sail along the Akrotiri coast.
1:30 PM — Free Sailing & Swimming. The catamaran continues along the coastline at a relaxed pace. Swim from the boat, snorkel, or simply relax on deck and take in the volcanic scenery. This is your boat and your time.
~3:00 PM — Return. Your transfers return you to your hotels with the full afternoon and evening ahead of you in Santorini.
* Departure and return times may vary. Anchor locations may vary depending on weather and sea conditions.
Privacy matters. On a private morning charter, you stop where you want, stay as long as you like, eat when you are ready, and spend the cruise with only the people you choose. The morning departure adds the benefit of calmer seas and less-crowded beaches — Red Beach in the morning with your own private catamaran anchored just off the cliff is a genuinely extraordinary experience. For families in particular, the private morning charter offers the flexibility and calm that a shared boat simply cannot provide. The crew is entirely focused on your group and will make the cruise feel tailored and personal from start to finish.
Yes — the private morning charter is our most family-friendly option. The morning seas are calmest, the crew is focused entirely on your family, and you can move at whatever pace suits your children. Life jackets are available in children’s sizes. Please mention the ages of your children when booking.
The Semi-Private Morning shares the catamaran with up to 14 other guests at €125 per person. The private morning charter gives your group exclusive use of the entire boat for €1,000 total. For a group of 4 or more, the private option is similar or better value per person — and gives you complete privacy and flexibility.
Yes. As a private charter, the route is flexible. If you would like to add extra swimming stops, spend longer at a particular location, or include a specific destination, please discuss this with us when you book. We will do our best to accommodate your preferences.
You could in theory, but we recommend spreading them across different days so you can fully enjoy each experience. Most guests who book both say having a day between the two cruises lets them appreciate each one properly.
