Why Santorini Yacht Charter?
When planning a Santorini yacht charter, as Blue More Yachting we design the most suitable route for you on this volcanic island with the most striking scenery of the Cyclades. The moment you depart from Athinios Port, the dramatic silhouette of the caldera and the panorama created by whitewashed houses welcome you.
Santorini reveals an entirely different dimension when discovered from the sea. Volcanic beaches inaccessible by land, hidden coves, and spectacular sunset points can only be reached by yacht. For families, groups of friends, and corporate teams, we offer Sailing Yacht or Motor Yacht options tailored to your group size and preferences.
The size and type of yacht gain importance in line with the character of the region. Anchoring in the sheltered waters of the caldera, watching the famous Oia sunset from the sea, and swimming along the volcanic shores of Red Beach are essential elements of a Santorini yacht holiday.
Fresh fish enjoyment in Ammoudi Bay, trekking on the volcanic island of Nea Kameni, and a lunch break in the tranquil atmosphere of Thirassia. During the meltemi season, Cycladic winds offer a distinct pleasure for Sailing Yachts.
With our captains who know the region for years and our 5 years of experience, let’s create a Santorini program perfectly suited to your family’s pace.
