Boating with Captain Mario was one of our favorite activities during an incredible 14-day Greece and Italy trip, which is saying something—there were so many moments we loved. The manager at our hotel recommended Barbarossa Sailing as the best boat tour in Santorini, and it didn't disappoint in any way. We absolutely loved our semi-private 5-hour cruise with Barbarossa Sailing.
Due to our travel schedule, we opted for the daytime cruise, but a sunset cruise would have been even more lovely! The morning of our cruise, a spacious, air-conditioned van picked us up outside our cave hotel, and we barreled our way across the island to Ammoudi Bay. Since there’s not enough room to turn the van around at the bottom, the driver careened us down in reverse.
Facilities : The lower deck has a small kitchen, refrigerator, and toilet. There’s also room to store small belongings, so it’s fine to bring your camera, wallet, bag, etc.

Whether this is your first visit to Santorini or you’ve had the opportunity to sail the island before, there are some helpful tips to keep in mind as you plan your trip. We recommend booking your boat rental in Santorini for the late spring (April through June) and early fall (mid-to-late September) in order to take advantage of the beautiful weather and avoid most of the midsummer crowds. Since you will want to plan your yacht rental in advance, make sure to check the local weather during the weeks leading up to your sailing vacation in order to ensure you pack accordingly. Additionally, each of the sites you visit during your week-long sailing vacation throughout Greece has its own unique scenery, dining options, and activities to offer, so be sure to keep in mind your personal must-dos, whether it’s fine dining, swimming in the Aegean, or anything else that suits your fancy. here
In addition to the best offers we have for boat and yacht charters in Greece, Thira, Santorini, see also options available for rent in these nearby locations:
Many travelers also choose to do a longer Greece trip by flying into Athens first and spending a few days on the country’s mainland before heading to the island of their choice. This is a great option if you are looking to save money on flights, as it can be pricey to fly to Santorini from your home airport. Check out our guide to Athens if you're interested in exploring other areas of Greece before or after you rent a boat in the Cyclades islands. [links]
When selecting a boat rental for a week-long sailing vacation on Sailo, you have a 24 hour reservation period, during which you can put a hold on a yacht rental from Santorini until you decide to book it, or cancel if it isn’t right for you, all free of charge. Keep in mind that your Sailo Santorini yacht rental is customizable to your vacation needs, so you can choose the charter that fits your travel party size and dates, hire a skipper or rent a boat without a captain if you are a more experienced sailor, and even add extras like transportation to and from the marina. No matter what type of yacht rental in Santorini you're looking for, a sailing vacation planning is a breeze with Sailo’s flexible, customizable services. here
Sailo offers a wide variety of Santorini yacht charters to choose from for your vacation in Greece, so you can explore the Cyclades islands just as locals do when you rent your perfect boat rental from Santorini. You can select the sailboat of your choice based on your travel preferences and party size. And with our easy-to-use platform, renting a boat has never been easier. here
Please, don’t do a cruise to Santorini. They’re bad for the citizens, the environment, and the local economy, and they’re a lousy way to see the island. On a cruise, you only get a few hours to see Santorini – and it’s busy, hectic, and packed with tourists whenever a cruise ship is in port. All of the best things to do in Santorini are hard to enjoy on the limited time you get on the island if you visit on a cruise. The best Santorini boat tours are day trips you do while staying on the island – but you won’t have time to do a volcano boat tour if visiting from a cruise ship.
Your friends likely took a high-speed catamaran with Hellenic Seaways or SeaJets. On these boats you can not access the deck except when the boat is in port and windows are often caked in sea salt. The ship you want is the Blue Star ferry. It’s a little slower (takes 8 hours instead of 5 from Athens to Santorini) but has large open-air decks that you can walk about on. Views are great and it’s a spectacular entrance to Santorini. Since it’s larger than the catamarans it also has a less bumpy ride and is less likely to cause sea-sickness.
Hi Dave
Great informative website!
We have booked 7 days on Santorini at Agnadi Villas and would like to go on a cruise of about 7-10 days as an add on to our Greek trip – any suggestions? By the look I think a smaller cruise boat would be best – do you agree, or should we island hop?
Thanks Joady
