Description of George's sailboat

Sailboat Traditional Greek Kaiki -Trechandiri 16m

The Boat is ideal for small groups, families and miscellaneous celebrations, for example: weddings, anniversaries, bachelor or birthday parties, etc. ____________________________________________________ NEW!! SUNSET CRUISE 3 HOURS STARTS AT at 5:30PM RATES FOR 4 GUESTS FIVE HOURS PRIVATE €600.00 For each extra passenger €80 up to 22 guests FULL DAY 8 GUESTS PRIVATE from €1500.00 For each extra passenger €120 up to 22 guests. ------------------------------------------------- Captain George Santorini Yachting ~ Here is why it stands out: Authentic Experience: Unlike the modern, mass-market catamarans, Captain George operates the S/Y Eleftheria, a traditional 55-foot wooden Greek sailboat (Kaiki) built in 1971. This offers a vintage, "movie set" atmosphere that many travelers find magical. Highly Rated Captain: Captain George himself is frequently described as "informative," "funny," and "smart," with over 35 years of experience. He is known for sharing deep knowledge of the island's history, culture, and sailing, often making guests feel like they are sailing with a friend rather than a crew. Avoids Crowds: Because he operates a smaller, traditional boat, he often avoids the heavy traffic of larger cruise ships, timing stops at the volcano and hot springs o ensure a more private experience. Excellent Food & Service: Reviews consistently highlight the delicious, freshly prepared Greek meals (often grilled on board), generous portions, and attentive service from the crew. Strong Track Record: The company has nearly 200 reviews on with a rating of 4.8/5, with many guests returning year after year or recommending it as the "highlight of their trip." If you are looking for a traditional, intimate, and highly personalized sailing experience rather than a large party boat, this is widely considered one of the best options in Santorini. 1)Three Hours sunset cruise! Private and semi-private Private or semi-private per person €80:00-€70:00 for each extra max 22 people Minimum group size per booking 4 people We depart Vlychada port three hours before sunset and stop at the Red Beach for an afternoon swim. On board, wine, beer, soft drinks, are served, but you can BYOB if you prefer. We then sail to the Venetian lighthouse at the entrance of the Caldera and watch the sun set on the horizon with a drink and appropriate music There’s nothing like the Santorini Sunset! Intoxicating, in all its divine glory. As the sun descends, it fills the sky and sea with spectacular and vibrant colors. 2) Half Day Cruise Rate: €600.00 up to 4 passengers €80 for each extra passenger up to 22 guests Duration: 5 hours Departures - 10.30 - 12.00 or 15.30 We depart from the port of Vlychada and make our way to the Red Beach which is the known to be the best place for swim on the entire island, due to the crystal clear waters and the amazing scenery.-- A snack a few more drinks and of to the White Beach for a close pass at the white porcelain cliffs and the colorful surroundings, reminiscent of the volcanic explosion in 1650 BC Afterwards a sail to the center of the Caldera, the Volcano and the Hot Springs where we will be able to enjoy the therapeutic effects of a natural sulfur mud bath in the warm waters which are around 35°C and have a vitalizing effect for the body and skin ! After all that swimming we light up the BBQ and enjoy a meal on the boat while cruising in Santorini's Caldera and looking up at the towns of Oia, Fira and Imerovigli. Back to port - And your mini bus will drive you back to your hotel. ============================================== 3) Full Day Cruise in Santorini Rate: From €1500.00 to €1900,00 up to 8 people 120€ for each extra passenger up to 22 guests Check-in: 11 am Check-out: after sunset We leave port at 11.00 so there is enough time to visit the north part of the Santorini and also the Island of Thirasia which was, once part of Santorini before the volcanic explosion in 1650 BC We will obviously visit the Red and White beach, Mesa Pigadia, Aspronisi, the Hot Springs, and then move to the northern part of the Island's caldera to Thirassia Island, Amoudi, and Oia, the little village of Armeni and the the old capital and fortress of the Island, “The Skaros rock”. Included in both cruises: - Snorkeling equipment - Unlimited drinks (wine, beer, ouzo, soft drinks, water) - BBQ meal, (meat or fish) Greek salad, local dishes fruits and "mezedes" - Discounted transfers from & to your hotel. ______________________________________________ We will be happy to receive your messages in Click&Boat!

This was one the best experiences I’ve ever had in my entire life. The captain is very gentleman, caring and super easy going. I went with my three other friends and we had a blast. I will recommend this experience to anyone having their first time in Santorini, and looking for something nice, calm and a great time

George is very experienced and we had a wonderful time sailing with him and hearing the geological history of Santorini. He also altered the start time to avoid the rush hour with the boats and we had almost a private experience at the hot springs. Highly recommend George.

About me

Captain George was raised and educated in Australia and has over 35 years experience in skippering sea craft around the Greek Islands and is the creator of the sunset cruise in its present form! His passion for the sea and tradition has lead him to restore one of the most important boats that was used for transportation of people and goods between the islands and the mainland for centuries. It all started back in the early 90’s when he started BBQ cruises on Santorini and various islands in the Aegean – reminiscent of the Australian weekends of his youth. The boat is the S/Y Eleftheria, a 55-foot wooden built traditional Greek Kaiki -Trechandiri or working boat, which nowadays are open museums and carry memories of a world that is fading right in front of us. We also cater for VIP tours, private charters, sunset cruise and individual itineraries, BBQ trips and full day tours around Santorini and the surrounding Islands.
