It all started back in the 80’s when he started BBQ cruises on various islands in the Aegean – reminiscent of the Australian weekends of his youth. The sunset cruise he created here on Santorini started out as an afternoon swim at the most popular spots on the island. The Red and White beach the Hot springs and the south bay of the volcano or Aspronisi. Although now almost 30 other boats have copied the idea, the original can only be experienced with Capt. George. Santorini Yachting is proud to have someone like Cap George in charge of the S/Y Eleftheria. This traditional type of craft has been sailing these waters for over 2,500 years. The unique design offers comfort and space and the perfect sailing structure for the Aegean and has not been improved upon since the ancient Greeks mariners first sailed these waters.We invite you to join us for this unique experience exploring Santorinis Caldera. « less

Taking this sunset cruise with Captain George was the best and most memorable experience in Santorini bar none! The views were absolutely amazing and it truly felt like a private charter compared to the other boats. The man has golden hands because his BBQ was also incredibly good with great variety. For anyone going to Santorini it is a absolute... More

This was definitely a highlight of our recent trip to santorini. We were a but nervous as the wind had picked up during the morning. However captain George handled the boat beautifully. The BBQ was delicious and the view of the island from the sea was amazing. Captain George took us by the red and white beach as well as... More

We celebrated our friend's 50th birthday with a wonderful sunset bbq cruise. The friendly crew welcomed us on board this beautiful traditional yacht with smiles and drinks. We sailed to some stunning bays and dropped anchor for sunbathing and swimming - swimming in the volcanic hot springs was amazing. The hospitality was terrific throughout the cruise, but the bbq was... More

I arranged a private charter with family of four and two other couples. Since there were only eight of us on the... More

We were staying on a diffent part of the island and thought we'd explore a bit. The excursion was the highlight of our week in Santorini. A very chilled experience with unusual flexibility and the boat takes you to really beautiful sites. More

We booked this trip online a few weeks before our trip and had a general idea of a boat ride on the Asean sea. This trip was beyond our expectations. The captain came to pick us up from our hotel so we didn't have to worry about a cab ride.There were 4 of us celebrating my batchelorette and we were... More

Captain Yiorgos is a great sea man. He operates his own traditional wooden Greek boat, one of a few still operating in Greece. He is an original person, very talkative and friendly. This boat is a family run business and it feels like that. He is very warm and he really takes you to the best sites and the real... More

We did the sunset cruise around Santorini and the rate included transfer to/from hotel. George was welcoming aboard his lovely boat and offered us drinks as soon as we boarded. We departed on time with a small group of other friendly couples. We sailed off and enjoyed amazing views, stopping along the red and white beaches for swims. Upon arriving... More

I had been looking for a boat tour to surprise my husband with and thought Santorini would be a great place to do it. After much research I came across Captain George and his Sunset cruises. Everything I read and saw lead me to believe this was the to go. Being on a boat with 50 others wasn't what I... More
