€145per person
Semi-private day cruise: details on GreeceSailing.com
A fishing trip puts you on a small boat with a captain who fishes, swims and cooks with you: from €700 per boat for a private trip or €160 per person on the shared traditional trip. A catamaran cruise with our sailing partner GreeceSailing.com is a larger, sail-driven day from €145 per person. Here is how to choose.

What each day is like
Fishing prices are ours; catamaran prices are our sailing partner's, as published on 7 November 2026.

| Group | up to 8, the boat is yours | up to 12, shared | shared or private |
| Duration | 3 to 5 hours; tuna charter 7 | about 5 hours | day cruise 5 hours; sunset cruise as published by the partner |

On a fishing trip you troll and jig with the captain between swim and snorkel stops and eat what you catch, grilled on board: the morning or sunset trip for up to eight, or the seven-hour deep-sea tuna charter for experienced anglers.
On the traditional trip you haul the nets with the crew, swim at the volcano and eat the catch with Santorini dishes, sharing a 12 m wooden boat with up to twelve guests: the semi-private traditional fishing trip. What a catamaran day looks like is described on our sailing partner's own pages.
Both in one day
A morning of fishing, a sunset under sail
The private morning trip leaves Ammoudi Bay at 09:00 and lasts five hours. That leaves the rest of the day for a semi-private sunset cruise with GreeceSailing.com from €150 per person, or a private sunset cruise at €1,200 per boat for up to six guests. Check the departure time and harbour with our sailing partner and leave room to get between the two.
Prefer two easier days? Fish on one, sail on the next. Our sunset fishing trip is the choice if you want the golden hour on a fishing boat rather than a catamaran.

Questions about choosing
Some of us do not want to fish. What should we do?
Either book a private fishing trip, where the non-fishers swim, snorkel and enjoy the caldera while others take the rods, or send them on a catamaran cruise with our sailing partner GreeceSailing.com, from €145 per person. Both leave you the rest of the day free.
Can we combine fishing and a catamaran in one day?
Yes. The private morning trip leaves Ammoudi Bay at 09:00 and lasts five hours, which leaves the rest of the day for a sunset cruise with our sailing partner. Check the sunset departure time and harbour with GreeceSailing.com and leave time to get between the two.
What is the price difference?
Fishing: €850 for a five-hour private boat covering up to four guests (€80 per extra guest, up to eight), €700 for three hours, or €160 per person on the shared traditional trip. Catamaran: from €145 per person for a shared day cruise, €150 for a shared sunset cruise, €1,200 per boat for a private cruise, as published by our sailing partner.
Private or shared, which is better for us?
Private if you want the boat, the pace and the captain's attention to yourselves; shared if you prefer a per-person price and company. Both options exist on the fishing side and on the catamaran side.
