## Overview

Witness unparalleled views of the sunset on board our catamaran yacht under the cliffs of Oia, - at the old port of Ammoudi Bay which is considered amongst the top sunset spots in Santorini.

During your sunset catamaran cruise enjoy plenty of fresh & crisp Santorini white wine and Greek beers offered by the crew.

Anchor at a secluded bay of the Santorini volcano for a second swimming opportunity while the crew prepares a generous full Greek dinner.

As Golden Hour approaches Santorini, you will be experiencing the views of the sunset while cruising towards the old port of Ammoudi under the cliffs of Oia.

A sunset cruise is essential when you visit Santorini, and our golden route with numbers limited to 18 guests total will ensure the feeling of a small-group experience while onboard the comfort of a modern catamaran yacht.

When the tour finishes you will be dropped off back to your hotel or Airbnb with our a/c shuttles.
