We had a wonderful time on our sunset boat trip. Petros and Nikos were extremely helpful, kind, and knowledgeable. We felt safe and had loads of fun!! We definitely recommend this to anyone coming to Santorini!

From booking all the way to the end of our trip Karolos was incredibly helpful. His training on operating the boat was clear and left you leaving the harbour with confidence in driving on the sea. The boat was easy to operate and came equipped with everything to make our day enjoyable. This has been the highlight of our trip to Santorini! A highly recommendable experience.

Karolos was most helpful and we had a great day. Boat was perfect size for self-captaincy and there was myself/partner and 3 girls. Thanks for a great trip.

A fantastic day out exploring the bays and coast of Santorini! Nikos and Petros were absolutely superb, totally professional and very personable. Fantastic value too. The bays were beautiful and perfect for mooring up and taking a dip. Highly highly recommend. 10/10 experience.

What an amazing day! We love hiring a boat when going abroad to see the island, Petros and his bother were amazing, He was ready for us when we arrived and was very knowledgeable, he told us everything we needed to know for our day out. The boat was in very good condition and was just like the image online. I would highly recommend Petros and his brother very professional company. If we can back to Santorini we will definitely be hiring a boat from Petros. Keep up the good work.

We had an absolutely fabulous time with Nikos on Saturday as our guide and skipper. He was really knowledgeable about the surrounding areas and we were happy to be led by his recommendations. Nothing was too much trouble and we price was really good. Would recommend to anyone looking to hire a boat to see the Caldera or the island from a different perspective!
