Why Santorini Gulet Charter?
When planning a Santorini gulet charter, we bring the spirit of the Blue Voyage to life on this volcanic island with one of the world’s most iconic vistas. The moment you depart from Athinios Port, the dramatic silhouette of the caldera appears entirely different from the wooden deck of your gulet.
The gulet harmonizes uniquely with Santorini’s character. The handcrafted wooden texture by Turkish masters, expansive teak deck areas, and traditional lines create a striking contrast with the white-and-blue Cycladic architecture, offering a truly unforgettable visual experience. Its ability to access shallow bays allows you to anchor in secluded spots away from the crowds.
A week-long route begins by watching the famous sunset of Oia from the sea. Without rushing, savoring every view: trekking on the Nea Kameni volcano, a lunch break in the tranquil villages of Thirassia, and swimming along the volcanic shores of Red Beach.
The table set on the spacious Aft Deck brings the flavors of the Aegean to you. Your Chef prepares Greek mezes and grilled fish using fresh ingredients sourced from local markets. Stretching out on the Foredeck cushions to watch the caldera’s star-filled sky is an essential part of the gulet experience.
With our Captains who know the region intimately and our five years of experience, let’s design a Santorini gulet program tailored to your family’s pace.

Slow-paced cruising within the caldera, departing from Athinios. Hiking on the Nea Kameni volcano and swimming in the hot springs of Palea Kameni. In the evening, anchoring off Oia for a sunset dinner on the teak deck.

An authentic Greek village in Thirassia, far from the tourist crowds on the opposite side of the caldera. Swimming in hidden bays accessible thanks to your gulet’s shallow-draft advantage. Tasting local wines and seafood.

Cyclades Islands Route
Multi-day itineraries extending to the tranquil bays of Ios, the dramatic cliffs of Folegandros, or the untouched beaches of Anafi. Each island offers a distinct character and a different Aegean experience.
Season Guide
The season runs from May to the end of October. Early June and September are the most ideal periods; the sea is perfect for swimming and the meltemi winds are still mild. During July–August, when the meltemi is stronger, gulets provide comfortable cruising with motor power. Santorini is very busy in this period; we recommend reservations 4–6 months in advance. Sea temperature ranges between 24–26°C.
