A family-friendly boat cruise Santorini listing prices children from age 0 on all 39 listings read for this page. The trips run from 1 hour to 12 hours, and the adult band starts at an age from 5 to 18.
Parents who are planning the rest of the week, from a day on land to another island, can start from the Greece Tours homepage.
What minimum age does a family-friendly boat cruise Santorini listing set?
A family-friendly boat cruise Santorini listing prices guests from age 0 on all 21 listings opened. The adult band starts at age 5 to 18 on 20 of them. One listing sells a single band for every age.
The booking panel of each listing lists ticket bands with an age range, and the adult band comes first. The youngest age a family-friendly boat cruise Santorini listing prices is the lowest start age across all its bands.
The 21 listings fall into four band patterns:
- One band for every age: 1 listing
- Adult and child bands: 6 listings
- Adult, child and infant bands: 12 listings
- Adult, youth, child and infant bands: 2 listings
Every pattern reaches age 0. Six listings use a child band as the lowest band. It ends at age 4 on one listing, 8 on two, 9 on two and 17 on one.
The adult band starts at one of nine ages across the 21 listings:
- Age 0: 1 listing
- Age 5: 1 listing
- Age 9: 2 listings
- Age 10: 2 listings
- Age 11: 3 listings
- Age 12: 3 listings
- Age 13: 2 listings
- Age 14: 3 listings
- Age 18: 4 listings
The latest adult start is 18, on four listings. The earliest is 5, on one listing, apart from the single-band listing.
Fourteen listings keep an infant band. On 11 of them it ends at age 3, and the child band starts at age 4. Each band starts the year after the last one ends, so no age is left out.
The four family-friendly boat cruise Santorini listings with an adult start of 18 price teenagers in other bands. Two add a youth band for ages 13 to 17. One has a child band for ages 4 to 17, and one a child band for ages 0 to 17.
Two family-friendly boat cruise Santorini panels add a line for the youngest guests. One says a child of 1 or younger joins for free and still needs a place on the booking. The other says the same about a child of 3 or younger.
No family-friendly boat cruise Santorini listing among the 21 uses the word family in its title, summary or highlights. Beaches, hotels and meals on land sit in the Santorini with kids guide.
Which family-friendly boat cruise Santorini listings take children of any age?
A family-friendly boat cruise Santorini booking prices every age on all 39 listings opened. Nineteen sell one band for every age, at age 99 and younger. The other 20 carry an infant or child band that starts at age 0.
The count of listings with no child or infant band at all is 0. Every one of the 39 starts its lowest band at age 0.
The 19 single-band listings name the band Adult on nine, Participants on eight and Passengers on two. Whatever the name, the band reads age 99 and younger. A baby and an adult share one line on a family-friendly boat cruise Santorini form of this kind.
The format words split the 19 single-band listings into four groups:
- 14 listings carry the private group label.
- One carries a private option label, and its summary offers a private or semi-private trip.
- One summary calls the trip semi-private and puts it in a small group.
- Three carry no private label and name a catamaran trip.
The trip lengths vary, but the age line does not. Thirteen of the 19 state 5 hours. Two state 3 hours, one states 4 hours and one states 5.5 hours.
One speedboat listing states 1 to 4 hours, and one catamaran listing states 3 to 5 hours. A family-friendly boat cruise Santorini listing in this group prices age 0 on every one of these lengths.
The booking form caps the party at 4 guests on the smallest listing, a speedboat. Seven forms cap it between 9 and 16 guests. Six more cap it between 20 and 864, and five show 999.
A family of three fits all 19 forms. A family of five fits 18 of them on a family-friendly boat cruise Santorini booking. A party of 10 fits 17 of them.
None of the 19 booking panels adds a note on child seats, life jackets or younger guests. Two carry the wheelchair-accessible label, and both state 5 hours. One summary names the guests as family and friends, and another speaks of loved ones.
A parent who needs child seat or life jacket rules asks the operator before the day. A family-friendly boat cruise Santorini listing in this group leaves that open, and the age band does not answer it.
How long are the family-friendly boat cruise Santorini trips?
A family-friendly boat cruise Santorini listing runs from 1 hour to 12 hours. The three private listings of 4 hours or less list one group for every age. The other nine listings give adults and children their own age groups.
Twelve family-friendly boat cruise Santorini listings state a length. The shortest is one private speedboat listing at 1 to 4 hours. Two more private listings state 3 hours: a catamaran cruise and a morning speedboat tour. All three list one group for ages 0 to 99, so none sets an age floor.
Three family-friendly boat cruise Santorini listings of 3 hours split guests by age. The first has an adult group for 12 and over and a child group for 4 to 11. Its infant group is 3 and under. The second uses 13 and over, 6 to 12 and 5 and under for the same three groups.
The third lists a daily tour at 10:30 and at 14:00. Its groups are 11 and over, 6 to 10 and 5 and under. No other listing states clock times. Three name a part of the day instead: a morning start, an afternoon cruise, or a morning or sunset choice.
Two listings state 4 hours. A family-friendly boat cruise Santorini trip of that length starts its adult group at 12 in both. The child group starts at 4 in one and at 2 in the other. The infant group ends at age 3 in one and at age 1 in the other.
One catamaran listing states 5 to 6 hours. Its adult, child and infant groups are 11 and over, 4 to 10 and 3 and under. The Santorini catamaran cruise page covers that boat type in full. The listing keeps the same three group names as the 3-hour trips.
Three listings run a full day. One states 6 to 10 hours, with adults from 11 and children in one group for ages 0 to 10. A second states 7 to 10 hours. Its adult group is 13 and over, its child group 5 to 12 and its infant group 4 and under.
The 12-hour family-friendly boat cruise Santorini listing is the longest. Its adult group is 12 and over, its child group 2 to 11 and its infant group 1 and under.
Across the nine age-grouped listings, the adult group starts at 11, 12 or 13 whatever the length. The child group starts anywhere from 0 to 6. Read the age groups as well as the hours before you choose a trip.
Which stops let children swim on a family-friendly boat cruise Santorini?
Twelve of the 13 listings opened name a swim, but none states a swim rule for children. A family-friendly boat cruise Santorini listing names hot springs, Red Beach or White Beach, or leaves the place out.
All 13 listings sell a catamaran trip. The swim sits in the title, the summary or a highlight line, and nine of the 13 name snorkeling. One listing names neither. The family-friendly boat cruise Santorini listings differ on where the swim happens:
- Hot springs: 7 listings, 4 of them with the word swim
- Red Beach: 7 listings
- White Beach: 5 listings, all 5 also naming Red Beach
- Mesa Pigadia: 2 listings, one as a bay and one first in a sail to three stops
- Thirasia: 1 listing, as a swim and snorkel stop
- The volcanic islet Nea Kameni: 1 listing, for snorkeling
- Two beaches with no names: 1 listing
- No place for the swim: 3 listings
None of the seven hot springs listings names Palea Kameni, so the island comes from Wikipedia. Its article says Palea Kameni contains a hot spring. Five of the seven also name Red Beach. Two name the springs and no beach by name. One listing says dip, one says feel the healing waters and one says explore.
Nine listings name hot springs or Red Beach, and four name neither. Wikipedia says the sand at Red Beach is black and red pulverized volcanic rock from the nearby caldera. Five listings name both beaches. Two of those five name no hot springs.
Three family-friendly boat cruise Santorini listings give no place for the swim. One lists swim stops in its title. One summary says swim or snorkel in the waters. One puts swimming in the title and fills the summary with views. Two other listings add sunbathing on board.
Four titles carry the activity itself: two use a swim word and two use a snorkel word. Two listings use the word stop with the swim, one in a title and one in a highlight line. The Santorini snorkeling guide covers the spots themselves, so this section counts only what each listing says.
No listing says who enters the water, who stays on deck or who watches the swimmers. A parent planning a family-friendly boat cruise Santorini day asks the operator those three questions first.
What do children eat and drink on a family-friendly boat cruise Santorini?
Twelve of the 13 listings opened name food, and 11 name drinks. None names a children menu or a food allergy note. A family-friendly boat cruise Santorini listing names a BBQ, a meal or snacks.
Four food types split the 12 listings that name food on a family-friendly boat cruise Santorini route. The tally below counts each listing once:
- BBQ: 7 listings, one a BBQ buffet and one a BBQ lunch
- A meal with no type: 2 listings
- A Greek meal with a lunch: 1 listing
- Snacks and no meal: 2 listings
Six of the seven BBQ listings also name drinks. The seventh, the BBQ lunch, names none. Six titles carry the letters BBQ, and two carry the words open bar. Eight listings place the food or the drinks on board. Three of those say it is prepared on board, and two use the word freshly.
One listing names veggie options next to meat on its BBQ. It sits in a highlight line. No other listing names a diet of any kind. One speedboat listing names no food and no drink. A parent asks about a child who eats no meat, or who has an allergy, before the day.
Eleven of the 13 listings name drinks on a family-friendly boat cruise Santorini day, and all 11 also name food. Five name wine, beer or an open bar: four name wine, two name beer and two name an open bar. Six name drinks without those three words. Two titles say meal and drinks, and two say BBQ and drinks.
Two listings use the word unlimited: one for white wine, and one for wine, water and soft drinks. One snack listing names soft drinks too. One names cold drinks, and four say only drinks. The wine, beer and open bar lines say nothing about what a child drinks.
The NHS dehydration page says babies and children are more at risk of dehydration. It lists time in the sun or in a hot place as a cause. For adults and children it lists thirst, a headache and feeling dizzy as symptoms.
The NHS heatwave page says to have regular cold drinks and to drink extra fluids. Water for a child on a family-friendly boat cruise Santorini day is a question for the operator.
What do parents ask about a family-friendly boat cruise Santorini?
Do listings of a family-friendly boat cruise Santorini name life jackets or child seats?
The listing summaries name neither. A Heraklion Port Authority notice carries Hellenic Coast Guard advice for small-craft owners. It tells a skipper to put a life jacket on a child on board. It also says to show companions how the life jackets work.
Do arm bands keep a child safe on a family-friendly boat cruise Santorini trip?
No. The same notice says arm bands and inflatable rings do not replace watching the child. It also says never to leave a child unwatched in or near the water. More checks sit in the safety tips for Santorini tours.
Can infants join a family-friendly boat cruise Santorini trip?
Eight family-friendly boat cruise Santorini listings give infants their own age group, ending at 1, 3, 4 or 5. The three private listings use one group for 0 to 99. One listing gives children one group for ages 0 to 10 and no infant group.
What eases seasickness on a family-friendly boat cruise for children?
The NHS motion sickness page says to sit in the middle of a boat. It adds to look at a fixed point like the horizon. For children it says to talk, listen to music or sing songs. It also says not to watch rolling waves.
How do children stay out of the sun on a family-friendly boat cruise Santorini trip?
The NHS says to keep children under 6 months out of direct strong sunlight. For March to October in the UK, it advises shade, covering up and at least SPF30 sunscreen. It says to apply sunscreen where clothes leave skin bare, such as the face.
How do the family-friendly boat cruise Santorini listings treat cancellation?
Each of the 12 listings carries the free cancellation label, from the 1-hour speedboat trip to the 12-hour boat day. The label is the same for private listings and for listings with adult, child and infant groups.
