First met Daryl from the center on our first visit whilst dining at the excellent restuarant next door nearly 3 years ago and our third visit decided to take the trip he advised would show us Santorini in a different light and how right he was! It was a magnificent experience from start to finish and the history lesson we... More

We took a private five-hour sailing tour around the Island with Michalis (Mike) who's not just hot, but a great sailor - talk about smooth sailing... This sailing experience was something I will always remember with fond memories. We swam in the hot springs privately before the tour boats came. Michalis's assistant, Chris was extremely helpful and offered great service.... More

Captain, Chrisand Georges welcomed us with 6 others peolple from other countries on their catamaran. We spent five magic hours, watching the panorama, listening the hitory of the island, sharing point of view about Santorinie's experience. During this time georges prepared to us a wonderful lunch with barbecue and Santorini wines. Perfect. We advise us this " carpe diem" moment. More

You are picked up in a pristine air conditioned bus and taken to the dock where the catamaran 'carpe diem'is waiting for you. As this is a private cruise (310 Euros for two)we had one other couple to share the experience with (rather than being crowded on an excursion boat). And what a lovely boat. The crew do everything to... More

Captain Mike, Chris and Eleni were perfect hosts on the beautiful Carpe Diem. We had a perfect day on the water. There were six of us passengers in total, and the fact that we all got along splendidly, only added to the great time. The food is amazing. I recently discovered I am gluten intolerant. There was plenty for me... More

Just got back from a great day on the water with Santorini Sailing Centre. We did the afternoon Carpe Diem tour, did some snorkeling, swam in the volcano hot springs and had an excellent meal, all topped off with a beautiful sunset as we sailed back to the marina. Staff was great and with the small group there was lots... More

We've been to Santorini three times and this was the second year running we have taking the Catamaran for the "Sunset Experience". Mike and his crew are simply wonderful and were attentive throughout the whole trip. As ever, seeing the Santorini sunset from the sea is spectacular - and they make sure you are in the best position to take... More

This sail was one of the highlights of our 12 day Greece trip. We were on a cruise ship and I booked this myself because of the reviews. My husband was irritated because we were on a company cruise and all excursions were paid for. Pick up was timely, in a great vehicle. There were only 8 passengers on the... More

If you are looking for amazing service and a lovely view of the island, take this cruise. This is a family run operation that provides top notch service. We sailed out and saw a few sights, went swimming and then had a fabulous meal on the boat followed by a spectacular sunset. The crew knew their work, were very professional,... More

Our hotel (the Vedema) booked this cruise for us. We were alittle hesitant bc one of us doesn't love boats and it's a long trip (5-6 hours) but we were SO happy we did it!! Best day of the trip. The crew was so sweet, always explaining what we were looking at, offering drinks and they cooked us a wonderful... More
