Our History
Our story at Caldera Yachting starts more than 12 years ago, in 2009, when we first opened in Santorini. At the time, we only had two boats and a crew of five to assist our customers. We have had an amazing 12 years. In that time, we have learned so much about running a business and have experienced highs and lows like anyone else. We have also met so many people from around the world, many of whom are returning customers after enjoying their time with us. By 2019, a short ten years later, we had reached a fleet of 18 boats and our crew grew to more than 120 team members. In those ten years, we welcomed more than 50,000 guests on board and became a leader in the yachting industry in Santorini and Greece. During the pandemic in 2020 and 2021 we did not stop offering exceptional experiences to those who dared to travel but always followed all the appropriate safety measures.
Our Fleet
Our brand-new fleet of vessels can accommodate shared or private cruises that are all-inclusive once you board. You can choose from luxurious catamarans, yachts, monohulls, or traditional boats. All our vessels have gone through rigorous safety checks and were created in a manner that gives you comfort and style, as well as peak performance. Our crew has been well-trained and educated on how to operate the boats and how to treat our clients with care. You can expect first-class service and amenities onboard.
Private Cruises
Our private cruises range in price from 1,800 EUR to 3.200 EUR for full-day trips and 900 EUR to 1,600 EUR for half-day trips with catamaran or a sailing boat. In case of luxury motor yachts Riva Rivarama 44 is one of the options promising an unforgettable 5 star experience. They also range in length, from half-day trips to full-day. As these are private tours, you can set the itinerary when you book and with your captain to see and do exactly what you want to during your trip. The captain and crew will suggest highlights along the coastline that they recommend going to. The crew will make sure that you don’t even have to lift a finger during your trip. These tours come with transportation to and from your hotel, a welcome drink and meal, towels, and snorkelling gear.
Semi-Private Cruise
We offer a range of day and sunset semi-private cruises around Santorini. On our gold day cruise, we will take you and a small group of new friends to places like the White and Red Beaches, the Black Mountain, and the lighthouse in Akortiri. We let everyone have the option to swim when we are in Thirassia, a fisherman’s island. And we end the day at the old port of Ammoudi Bay. This trip is five hours long.
Our gold sunset cruise takes you from Ammoudi Bay to swimming first in Thirassia before sailing around Black Mountain, and the White and Red Beaches. We take you around Caldera to view the sunset before heading back to Vlychada. This trip is also about five hours, depending on the sunset.
Both of these trip options cost 180 EUR and include transportation to and from your hotel, a welcome drink, lunch or dinner, snorkelling gear, towels, and a map of Santorini.
Other semi private options with a catamaran yacht are Classic and Blue Cruise with lower cost than the gold one but nothing less in terms of service and experience. All inclusive packages with meals on board, transfers and snorkelling gear.
Our most affordable day and sunset cruise is the traditional package. This is also a five-hour trip that takes you to fewer stops, but we still provide a welcome drink, meal, snorkelling gear, and transportation to and from your hotel. This costs 90 EUR.
Our Team
Every great company is only great because of the team that runs it. Our successes and achievements are all thanks to the group of people we have employed and worked with for more than a decade.
