Private Santorini Caldera Cruise from Ammoudi Bay — Power Catamaran with Meal & Drinks

The Experience
Before You Go
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Protect marine life and your skin — strong mid-day sun and reflective sea increase UV exposure.
Secure a dry bag
Stash electronics and a light layer in a dry bag for swim stops and spray.
Time your cruise
Morning trips usually have calmer seas and clearer water for snorkeling; late afternoon gives softer light for photography.
Declare dietary needs early
Vegetarian/vegan meals are available but must be requested at booking to ensure kitchen readiness.
