More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Morning light slants across Aegean blue as the Comfort Max slides out of Ammoudi Bay, cliffs of red and white volcanic rock towering behind. On deck, the sea smells of salt and warmed pine; the caldera’s rim holds villages like white flags. As the catamaran threads the crescent of Santorini, Thirassia appears like a quieter sibling — low, terraced and waiting.

Santorini’s caldera was formed by a massive Minoan-era volcanic eruption; the dramatic cliffs you sail along are the rim of that collapsed volcano.

Reserve your spot on the Comfort Max Catamaran Caldera Cruise with BBQ and Drinks today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Book morning departures for calmer seas
Wind and swell often increase in the afternoon — earlier sailings tend to be smoother for snorkeling and small children.
Bring reef-safe sunscreen and a hat
The Aegean sun is intense on open water; reef-safe sunscreen protects both your skin and marine life.
Choose mobility-friendly footwear
Ammoudi Bay and gangways can be uneven and wet — non-slip sandals or trainers help with boarding and short shore steps.
Notify dietary needs before arrival
The operator requires meal choices in advance for the onboard BBQ — inform them of allergies or vegetarian requests when booking.
Swimsuit and quick-dry towel
You’ll have multiple swim and snorkel stops so bring suit and a towel that dries fast.
