Santorini boat tour prices, every one of them
Twelve things we sell. Eight carry a published price and four are quoted per route. A shared seat is €100 and that figure already contains lunch, wine and a car both ways.
Every Santorini boat tour price we publish sits on this page. A shared five-hour catamaran cruise is €100 per person. A private catamaran is €1,200 for up to eight guests, then €100 for each guest after that. The full-day private boat is €2,400 for up to ten. Water taxi and RIB are by quote.
Most operators here keep the number behind a booking widget. We would rather put all of ours on one page you can print, and put the rest of the market next to it, so you can see where we sit before you write to anyone.
Every published price, 2026 season
The figure in the Price column is the whole figure. Road transfer both ways, the crew, lunch cooked on board, wine, beer, water, snorkelling gear, towels, fuel, insurance and port fees are already inside it.

Prices are what we publish today and include everything in the inclusions table. Nothing is added at the boat.
The private-charter arithmetic, on a slider
Drag the guests; both figures follow. The €100 shared seat stays in view for comparison.
- Whole boat
- €1,200
- Per person, that group
- €150
For comparison, a seat on the shared cruise is €100 per person. A private boat buys the route and the timing, never a lower price per head.
Three pricing models, and nothing else
Per person. The two semi-private cruises are €100 a head. Fifteen seats, and the fifteenth costs exactly what the first one costs. There is no child rate published and no group discount.
Per boat, with a base. Every private cruise starts at a base price covering a set number of guests, then adds €100 for each guest beyond it. The base is eight on a five-hour private cruise, ten on the full day, ten on a proposal.
By quote. The RIB, the water taxi, a shore excursion and a yacht wedding are priced per route or per plan. None of them has a fixed shape, so none of them gets a fixed number.
Private catamaran, five hours: what it works out at per head
The private day cruise and the private sunset cruise are the same boat at the same price: €1,200 for up to eight guests, then €100 for each guest from the ninth. Honeymoon, bachelorette and bachelor cruises are priced the same way.
| Guests | How it adds up | Total for the boat | Per person |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8 | Base fare | €1,200 | €150 |
| 10 | Base, plus 2 guests from the ninth at €100 | €1,400 | €140 |
| 12 | Base, plus 4 guests from the ninth at €100 | €1,600 | €133 |
| 14 | Base, plus 6 guests from the ninth at €100 | €1,800 | €129 |
| 17 | Base, plus 9 guests from the ninth at €100 | €2,100 | €124 |
A private boat is never cheaper per head than a shared seat. At eight guests it is €150 each against €100, and at seventeen it is still €124. What the difference buys is the departure time, how long you stay at each stop, your own music and an empty deck.
Full day and proposal: the same arithmetic, a different base
The full-day private cruise runs 10:30 to 20:30 and starts at €2,400 for up to ten guests. The proposal cruise is five hours at €1,600 for up to ten. Both add €100 for each guest from the eleventh.
| Guests | How it adds up | Full day, 10 h | Per person | Proposal, 5 h | Per person |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8 | Under the base — the price starts from the ten-guest fare either way | €2,400 | €300 | €1,600 | €200 |
| 10 | Base fare | €2,400 | €240 | €1,600 | €160 |
| 12 | Base, plus 2 guests from the eleventh at €100 | €2,600 | €217 | €1,800 | €150 |
| 14 | Base, plus 4 guests from the eleventh at €100 | €2,800 | €200 | €2,000 | €143 |
| 17 | Base, plus 7 guests from the eleventh at €100 | €3,100 | €182 | €2,300 | €135 |
Per-person figures are rounded to the nearest euro. Ten hours is not five hours twice: it adds Thirassia, a longer lunch, and the light on the cliffs on the way home.
What is inside the price
The same list applies to every catamaran cruise on this site, shared or private, morning or sunset.
In the price
- Return road transfer between your hotel and the boat
- Greek and English speaking crew
- A meal cooked on board: BBQ chicken and shrimp off the coals, Greek salad, pasta in tomato sauce, vine leaf rolls, and Greek dips with bread
- Santorini white wine, cold beer, soft drinks and water
- Snorkelling gear
- Towels
- Captain, crew, fuel, insurance and port fees
Not included
- Walking on the volcano (the boats anchor offshore)
- Nea Kameni national park entrance fee
- Gratuities
What is not in the price, and what might still cost you money
Three things sit outside every catamaran price: walking on the volcano, the Nea Kameni park fee and gratuities. We anchor offshore and do not land on Nea Kameni, so the walk and the fee do not arise on our cruises at all. For reference, the park fee is most commonly published at €5 per person, taken in cash by rangers at the trailhead.
Tipping is not built into anything we charge. The crew are paid either way, and nobody will be awkward if you leave nothing.
Two costs are nothing to do with us and still land on cruise-ship passengers. Greece charges a per-passenger levy at Santorini: €20 from June to September, €12 in April, May and October, €4 from November to March. It goes on your onboard account. And the Fira cable car is €10 for an adult, one way — a fare you do not pay if you leave the Old Port by sea.
What other operators charge for the same day
These are not our prices. They are what the market published on 25 August 2026, read off Viator and GetYourGuide category and product pages. Viator served euros and GetYourGuide served dollars; both are left as they were found, unconverted.

GetYourGuide's own shared-catamaran set on the same day ran from $70 to $152 per person for a day cruise and $75 to $187 for a sunset cruise, across 20 market listings. Treat every "from" figure as the cheapest date on the cheapest option, not what most people pay. Our full workings, with the market's sources beside them, are on what a boat tour costs in 2026.
The four lines we will not put a number on
Publishing a price we might not honour is worse than publishing none. These four are quoted, and quoted quickly.
| By quote | Why there is no list price | What to send us |
|---|---|---|
| Yacht wedding charter | A wedding is a timetable, not a product. The ceremony, the guest count and the hour you want to be on the water all move the boat's whole day. | Your date, the guest count, and roughly what time the ceremony needs to happen. |
| RIB boat tour | The RIB is priced by the route, not by the hour. At about 20 knots the fuel is the largest single cost and it moves with the distance you ask for. | Where you want to go, how long you want to be out, and how many of you there are, up to eight. |
| Water taxi | Point to point, so the price follows the two points and the time of day. We do not publish a route card we might not be able to run on a windy afternoon. | Pick-up point, drop-off point, date, time, and the number of passengers. |
| Shore excursion by boat | It is built backwards from your ship's all-aboard time, and that time is different on every itinerary. | Your ship's name, the date, and the all-aboard time on your card. |
All four run on the same crew, fuel and insurance basis as everything else on this page. Ask on WhatsApp and you get a number, not a brochure.
You send a request with a date and a number of guests. A person reads it and replies the same day with what is free and what it costs. How you settle it is confirmed in that reply — we have not published a payment method here, because it depends on the booking.
Prices on this page are what we publish today, for the 2026 season. If one changes, this page changes with it and the date at the foot moves.

Common questions
How much does a Santorini catamaran cruise cost?
A shared five-hour cruise is €100 per person, morning or sunset. A private catamaran for the same five hours is €1,200 for up to eight guests, then €100 for each guest. The ten-hour full-day private cruise is €2,400 for up to ten. The RIB and the water taxi are priced on request, per route.
How much is a private catamaran cruise in Santorini?
€1,200 for the boat with up to eight guests aboard, then €100 for every guest after that, up to seventeen. At eight that is €150 a head; at seventeen it is €124. The full-day version is €2,400 for up to ten guests, then €100 each.
What's included in the price?
Hotel transfer both ways, the crew, lunch cooked on board, Santorini wine, beer and water, snorkelling gear, towels, fuel, insurance and port fees. Nothing is collected at the boat. Outside it sit walking on the volcano, the Nea Kameni park fee and gratuities, none of which we charge.
Is a private catamaran worth it?
Only if you want the boat rather than the day. It always costs more per head: €150 each at eight guests, and it never drops below the €100 shared seat however many of you there are. What you get for the difference is the departure time, the length of each swim stop, and an empty deck.
Do I need to pay a deposit?
No. There is no deposit, and nothing is taken on this website at all. Message us on WhatsApp with your date and we will set out how and when to pay for the day itself, before you commit. A booking needs 24 hours' notice at the very least.
Is there different pricing between working days and weekends?
No. The published prices are flat and do not move with the day of the week: €100 a seat, €1,200 for a private boat, €2,400 for the full day. Seasonal variation is not something we publish either, so the number on this page is the number for your date.
