Sirigos Sailing operates from Vlichada, Greece, offering a curated selection of catamaran cruises around Santorini’s coastline. The company runs 5‑hour and 10‑hour itineraries aboard luxurious 44ft catamarans and Lagoon catamarans, available as private or semi‑private experiences. Popular highlights across the trips include visits to Red Beach, volcanic hot springs, the caldera coastline, and the volcanic islands and rock formations that define Santorini's landscape.
Dining features vary by trip and include onboard meals, local wine, and BBQs on full‑day options. Small‑group options limit numbers—one sunset cruise lists a maximum of 15 guests—while private charters provide bespoke itineraries and dedicated crew service. Cruises emphasize opportunities to swim in crystal‑clear waters, explore hidden beaches, and watch Santorini sunsets from the caldera.
Available experiences include semi‑private day cruises, semi‑private and private sunset sails, private morning cruises, full‑day and full‑day private sunset adventures, and named packages such as Diamond Morning and Emerald Private cruises. Each trip description notes a professional crew, tailored service, and scenic stops like the White and Black beaches and the untouched island of Thirasia.
Bookings depart from Vlichada and focus on comfortable catamaran platforms for relaxation and exploration. Sirigos Sailing’s offerings provide a range of durations and formats to suit couples, small groups, and travelers seeking both intimate private charters and semi‑private shared experiences on Santorini’s iconic Aegean waters. Many itineraries specifically list five-hour durations for morning or sunset cruises and ten-hour durations for full-day adventures, giving guests options for short or extended sailing days on the Aegean and flexible itineraries.
