Grand Little Miracles is a Santorini-based sailing operator offering private and semi-private cruises around the island's caldera and volcanic sites. The company runs a range of guided experiences, including the Volcano Festival Cruise that culminates with the Volcanoes 2024 event and fireworks from Nea Kameni. Trips include 5-hour volcano and hot-spring adventures, a Private All-Day Cruise lasting eight hours aboard the Bavaria 46 Cruiser “Eva Mare,” and morning or sunset semi-private sailings.
Captain Andronikos serves as the on-board skipper for multiple experiences; he is identified in several trip descriptions as a seasoned and award-winning sailor. Guests can expect opportunities to swim in volcanic hot springs, snorkel in clear Aegean waters, and relax at beaches such as Mesa Pigadia. Menus on select cruises feature traditional local Greek cuisine and local wine, and some private options emphasize romantic sunsets or cocktail service with finger food.
Grand Little Miracles describes both intimate private charters and semi-private group adventures, suitable for families, couples, and small groups seeking Santorini sea experiences. The fleet includes the luxury Bavaria 46 “Eva Mare,” noted in trip summaries as the primary cruiser for extended and private excursions. Tour durations, activity focuses, and meal inclusions vary by trip and are specified per offering. All trip descriptions reference Santorini locations and experiences, including volcano visits, hot springs, swimming, snorkeling, dining, and sunset viewing on the caldera.
