We had the privilege of enjoying this boat all to ourselves, guided by Kostas - a skipper who is incredibly knowledgeable about the origins of Santorini’s caldera. Thanks to the kind of boat, we were able to approach the dramatic landscapes up close and had plenty of opportunities for swimming and snorkelling in crystal-clear waters. What made it extra special was the feeling that we had the crater entirely to ourselves – a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of Santorini. A perfect mix of discovery, relaxation, and pure beauty. Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful day! Kostas made us discover the island, taking us to the most characteristic places and telling us about them, always leaving us the freedom to organise the day as we preferred. The boat was clean and comfortable. We strongly recommend choosing Kostas to accompany you on the discovery of Santorini!

A beautiful tour of the island, Kostas was available for every request. He took us to beautiful and very quiet coves. It was a wonderful experience, and we highly recommend this option. There were six of us and we had a wonderful time.

Kostas was an incredible driver/host. We can not recommend this enough. He provided towels, snorkeling gear, snacks and drinks throughout the tour. Not only does he know the best spots around the island he is very knowledgeable about the history of the island and shares fun facts throughout the tour. We had our kids (8 and 10) with us and he made sure they felt comfortable and had a blast. Truly a highlight of our trip.

The boat with Kostas was amazing. You can literally do whatever you want. His boat is clean, he will bring you to all the best locations and dock wherever you want. I would highly suggest going with him if youre in santorini and want a private boat tour with a good guide. Highly recommend. A 10/10.

Book with Kostas, a lovely captain and guide who not only knows where to go for the best sights, swimming and snorkelling but is happy to customise the experience for you. His knowledge of the island was wonderful and his personality calm and confident. The boat was comfortable with plenty of seating a lounging space either in the shade or sun. I'd recommend a private tour with Kostas much more than a group tour on one of the many catamarans sailing about Santorini. We were so much faster allowing us to see more, get in closer to things and do it all at our pace. Thank you Kostas for a brilliant day

The boat was well-maintained, very comfortable, clean, and exactly as advertised. Easy communication before our arrival via Click&Boat, then WhatsApp to finalize the details. Kostas is a professional and attentive skipper for Archipelagocruises. We had a wonderful family time on his boat and highly recommend him. He showed us the Santorini caldera, its history, and its best spots. He provided snorkeling equipment, towels, snacks, and even prepared a birthday cake for our son!

Magnificent, Speaks several languages (English and fortunately for us French), very friendly and in addition to the boat tour, he tells the history of the island. Visit of the entire coast of the caldera, snorkeling with a bonus dinner on the island of Thirasia + sunset. The price is a bit expensive but it is worth it unlike the 14.50€ of the other boats where you are packed in like sardines and only see the sunset. I recommend without hesitation ????

Our private boat experience in Santorini was absolutely excellent and I highly recommend it! We went as a family with kids, and it was completely safe, fun, and exceeded all our expectations. Our skipper, Hector, was an outstanding guide and captain. He shared his extensive knowledge of the island with great kindness and enthusiasm. The boat day included refreshments, towels, and floaties for enjoying the swimming spots. Communication with Kostas was excellent and prompt. We could choose our own spots or leave it to Hector’s recommendations, which made the experience even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for a memorable day on the water in Santorini, this is the way to go!

Hector was. great captain and created a wonderful day for us. We sailed around the island of Santorini. He took us to great little inlets where we could jump off the boat to cool off. He pointed out important points of interest, took us to a lovely area to snorkel and capped off the day by taking us to our great taverna for lunch. We highly recommend this boat and captain.

Kostas made booking incredibly easy and was very helpful organising times and details. Captain Hector was amazing, taking us all around the island and to gentle spots to snorkel and hang, despite some heavy winds at times throughout the day. He was knowledgeable, helpful and great company. Our entire experience was superb, and one we would recommend to anyone looking for an excellent boat day exploring Santorini!

What an excellent day out at sea! Costas was very responsive and helpful from the beginning. On the day our Captain, Hector, was really good. Warm, friendly, very knowledgable and totally flexible to plan a great day touring the coast of the island. The boat was really comfortable with plenty of space for a big group to relax and sunbathe. We saw beautiful sights and there was plenty of time to relax and chill - Hector just made us feel so welcome. Soft and alcoholic drinks and snacks and fruit were a great extra as well as fresh towels and snorkelling gear and we found a great place for a late lunch. Would highly recommend for an amazing day out.

If you are struggling to decide which boat to rent in Santorini, look no further. We were very lucky to find Kostas for our boat trip, celebrating our 3 year anniversary and couldn’t have been more happy. The boat size is suitable for 2-6 people, I would say 4 is the ideal number. The captain, Hector, is a fantastic tour guide, with plentiful knowledge of the history of the island, and is willing to help you with all activities. He really made the entire experience completely stress free. He knows all the best spots and importantly, also which popular spots to avoid and will be over crowded. The boat comes with all the accessories you would need, from snorkelling and fishing equipment to snacks and cold refreshments. We were impressed by the amount of choice we had. The cherry on top of the whole experience was when Hector helped us catch a fish while spearfishing. He then organised for a lovely family run tavern (Lava’s Tavern - which we would also highly recommend) to cook our freshly caught fish for us. Couldn’t recommend this for a day of your Santorini holiday more!
