Review of Rhodes’ Makarounas fishing trip, with hands-on fishing, cave swimming, BBQ lunch, drinks, practical tips, and honest drawbacks.
“It’s a relaxing few hours out on the water but the fishing is so so. We stopped in 3 places which is where I think the boat stops each time - a few bites and 3 tiny fish caught. The many fish on the wire in the photos is not necessarily what has been caught that day! Lunch was fine - a well-cooked bbq by the captain - who was a very nice man. The younger man came across as both annoying and insincere in how he communicated with everyone. It was an ok day.”
Review of Santorini’s Platinum catamaran cruise, with Red Beach, hot springs, snorkeling, BBQ, open bar, transfers, and practical tips.

Review of Rhodes’ six-hour catamaran cruise with three swim stops, Greek BBQ, unlimited drinks, snorkeling gear, and practical booking tips.
“When we arrived at the dockside about an hour before cast-off, there was already quite a few people waiting. It was quite disorganised, with some people queuing but most people just jostling to get to the check-in / booking desk. I expected there to be some sort of organisation, where people who had already pre-booked could check in quickly and get on, and those yet to book/pay could do so. however we were surprised to find that the operators were allowing large groups to book / pay on spec and get straight onto the boat, taking the shaded spots for themselves. I had assured my wife that booking early we…”
Review of Santorini’s 5-hour catamaran cruise with hotel transfers, swimming stops, BBQ lunch, unlimited wine, and volcano views.
“To start off the shuttle driver who was part of the tour was very skilled in his ability to back down the very steep windy narrow road leading to dock. The crew were very friendly and courteous. The music and food were great. Scenerey was as beautiful as you can imagine. One piece of advice , bring a sweatshirt or cardigan as it can get choppy and windy.”
Sail Santorini’s caldera, swim at volcanic hot springs, enjoy a Greek BBQ, and watch the island cliffs from a catamaran.
“Me and my husband had done this tour exactly 10 years ago when we were still dating. This was our first international trip and it was a highlight of our holiday! So…we decided to do it again 10 years later and take some then and now photos! It was great and everything we remember. It was also amazing to get out of the crowds. We hope to see you in another 10 years!!!”
Review of Santorini’s private catamaran cruise with hotel transfers, swimming, hot springs, barbecue, open bar, and sunset options.
“We were upgraded to the power yacht which was nice as we were able to visit several islands and beaches around Santorini. A few of the stops were pretty crowded but that’s probably unavoidable when cruise ships are in port. The owner was our captain for the day, and my one complaint would be that we were rushed off the boat at the end of our excursion, which actually was a few minutes before it was supposed to end (we had booked 10:30-3:30, and apparently they had a 3:30 sunset cruise booked so were very motivated to get us off the boat). This was upsetting to my wife and daughter…”
Review of Santorini’s five-hour catamaran cruise with Red and White Beach swims, volcanic hot springs, Greek BBQ, drinks, and hotel transfers.
