Snorkeling and Water Breaks on Board

Snorkeling is included in this experience, giving you a chance to discover the underwater beauty of Santorini’s waters. The boat is equipped to support your aquatic exploration with snacks and water onboard to keep you energized. We like how the boat’s shower allows for quick rinses after swimming, maintaining comfort throughout the day.

The included ice packs help keep drinks cold, and the Bluetooth radio lets you play your favorite music while relaxing on the water. This makes for a lively yet relaxed experience, perfect for families and groups of friends.

Flexibility and Customization of Your Route

One of the most appealing aspects of this tour is the freedom to choose your own route. After a brief safety briefing, you get to decide which coastal spots to visit. Whether you want to explore the iconic caldera views, seek out quiet beaches, or find hidden bays, the choice is yours.

This self-guided approach means fewer crowds and more intimate experiences. However, guides or skippers are available at an extra cost if you prefer some assistance or local knowledge.

Suitability and Practical Tips

This tour is not suitable for pregnant women, people with back problems, or those prone to seasickness. It requires self-handling of the vessel, so some basic comfort with watercraft is helpful. The 5-hour duration offers enough time for a relaxed exploration without feeling rushed.

We recommend bringing a hat, swimwear, camera, sunscreen, and plenty of water. Wearing comfortable clothing and packing snacks can further enhance your experience.

Pricing, Cancellation, and Booking Flexibility

You can reserve your spot with a pay later option, allowing you to keep your travel plans flexible. Full refund is available if you cancel up to 24 hours in advance. This flexibility makes it easier to plan around your other activities in Santorini.

The overall experience is good value, especially considering the private nature of the boat rental and the included snorkeling and snacks.

Who Will Love This Experience?

This activity is ideal for adventurous travelers who enjoy independent exploration and want to see Santorini from a different perspective. Families, groups of friends, and couples seeking a customized day on the water will appreciate the luxury vessel and flexible itinerary.

However, those uncomfortable with boat handling or seeking guided tours might prefer a different experience. The no-license requirement makes it accessible for most, but some basic comfort around watercraft is recommended.

This tour blends freedom, comfort, and personalization into a memorable water adventure. The modern boat, safety features, and included snacks create a relaxing environment for exploring Santorini’s coastlines and hidden gems. It’s a great choice for those wanting to captain their own boat without the hassle of licensing.

While fuel costs are paid separately, the overall experience offers excellent value. The flexibility to design your own route and the chance to snorkel make this experience stand out among other water-based tours.
