In the listings read for this page, a romantic boat cruise Santorini for couples lasts 4 to 6 hours. Eleven of the 12 name the sunset and nine name a dinner, from a buffet to a BBQ.
If the sail is one evening of a longer trip, the Greece Tours homepage sorts the days on land and the island hops by region.
Which listings sell a romantic boat cruise Santorini for couples?
Of the 12 listings read for this page, two use the word romantic. One uses it in the title and one in the summary. Eleven name the sunset. No listing sells a romantic boat cruise Santorini for couples as a category of its own.
The title with romantic also names the sunset and the dinner. The summary with romantic calls the trip a romantic 5-hour sunset cruise on a luxury catamaran. Two of 12 is one listing in six, so the word itself is rare in this group.
To judge any romantic boat cruise Santorini for couples, read the booking form and not only the title. No title, summary or form uses the word couple or honeymoon. Each form sorts guests into adult, youth, child, infant or a plain count of participants. None has a band for two adults.
Ten titles use the word cruise, one says tour and one says experience. Eleven titles carry sunset, and eight carry dinner. Only the wooden-boat listing has a title with neither word. Its title names a meal and wine.
The summaries add words that the titles leave out. Dinner reaches nine listings once the summaries are counted, and one of the nine says lunch or dinner. Wine shows in three listings, in one title and two summaries. A romantic boat cruise Santorini for couples is sold through sunset and dinner words in these listings.
Other selling words sit beside sunset. Two summaries use luxury, and one of them is the summary that says romantic. A third summary uses exclusive and small group in one sentence. A wooden-boat listing carries a Small group label.
The listing types differ. Eight of the 12 carry the cruise type, shown as a Water activity label. Two carry the private tour label and one the guided tour label. One listing shows no type.
Titles and summaries name the vessel behind each romantic boat cruise Santorini for couples in four ways:
- Catamaran: five listings.
- Sailing cruise: one listing, which also names a catamaran.
- Traditional boat: two listings, one of them saying wooden.
- Speedboat: one listing.
Four listings name no vessel. Wikipedia says a catamaran rides on two hulls of the same size. Five of the 12 listings name that kind, and no other kind appears in more of them.
How big is the party on a romantic boat cruise Santorini for couples?
Each booking form states the largest party it takes. Ten of the 14 listings read for this section cap a booking between 10 and 32 guests. Four set 999. Those are the party limits of every romantic boat cruise Santorini for couples here.
Two listings cap a booking at 10 guests, and one caps it at 12. Two cap it at 15, and one caps it at 20. The caps then climb to 25, 28, 30 and 32, one listing for each number. Five caps sit at 15 or below, and five sit from 20 to 32.
The cap is the largest party that the form accepts. On a form that stops at 10, two guests are a fifth of the full party. On a form that stops at 32, they are one sixteenth. Check that figure before you pick a romantic boat cruise Santorini for couples.
Four forms set 999 guests. The next cap down is 32, so the figure of 999 gives no boat size. For those four listings the party on board is not stated.
Each of the 14 forms sets a minimum party of 1 guest. Two guests choosing any romantic boat cruise Santorini for couples clear that minimum on every form.
The adult band starts at 11 on two forms, at 12 on two and at 13 on four. It starts at 18 on three forms. For a romantic boat cruise Santorini for couples, three other forms sell one band for every guest from age 0.
The three forms with an adult band from 18 still sell tickets for younger guests. Two of them add a child band that runs from 0 to 17. The third adds three bands: youth from 13 to 17, child from 4 to 12 and infant up to 3. The age of 18 sets the adult band only.
None of the 14 listings names a crew, a skipper or a captain. A romantic boat cruise Santorini for couples has no stated crew count in this group. Ask the operator for the number of people who sail the boat.
Two of the 14 listings carry the private group label. Our Santorini private boat cruise guide reads the limits of every listing sold to one party.
When does a romantic boat cruise Santorini for couples start and end?
No listing states a clock time for the start or the end. Eleven of the 12 listings read for this section state a length from 4 to 6 hours. The twelfth states none. That length is the only timing these listings give for a romantic boat cruise Santorini for couples.
Four listings state less than 5 hours: two state 4 hours and two state 4.5 hours. All four have dinner in the title. Five state 5 hours. One states 5.5 hours, and one states a range of 5 to 6 hours. None of the 12 says at which hour of the trip the sun sets.
The listing with romantic in its title is the one that shows no length. Its form shows a validity of 1 day, which is a ticket term and not a trip length. A romantic boat cruise Santorini for couples sold under that listing has no stated hours. The listing with romantic in its summary states 5 hours.
Four listings give a choice of time of day. One sells the morning with lunch or the evening with dinner. One sells morning or sunset hours. Two sell a day cruise or a sunset cruise, one in the summary and one in the title.
Each listing with a choice states one length for both hours. Three of the four state 5 hours, and the fourth states 5 to 6. A guest who wants the sunset picks that option on any romantic boat cruise Santorini for couples listing. The stated hours stay the same.
The longest sunset trip among the listings read runs 7 hours. Its summary adds a hike to the summit of Nea Kameni before the dinner. Three listings state a length past 5 hours. They are the 5.5-hour trip, the 5 to 6 hour trip and the 7-hour trip.
The end time of any romantic boat cruise Santorini for couples follows from its start and its length. A 4-hour trip ends an hour before a 5-hour trip that leaves at the same time. Wikipedia gives Santorini the time zone UTC+2, and UTC+3 in summer time.
The listings state hours only as lengths, so the clock hour comes from the operator. For a romantic boat cruise Santorini for couples, ask for it first. Our Santorini sunset cruise guide follows the sunset route that these hours cover.
What do couples eat and drink on a romantic boat cruise Santorini for couples?
Dinner is a buffet, a Greek dinner or a BBQ. The drinks run from one glass of local wine to an open bar. Nine of the 12 evening listings for the romantic boat cruise Santorini for couples name a dinner. Eight name a drink.
Among the romantic boat cruise Santorini for couples listings, four serve a buffet dinner on board. One is titled a romantic sunset cruise with dinner. One calls the buffet Greek. Two of the four add drinks to the buffet, and two name food only. One traditional wooden boat serves a Greek lunch or dinner instead.
The BBQ is the second dinner type. Five listings name a BBQ, and all five put the word in the title. Three of them say dinner in the title, and two say meal. One title lists dinner, BBQ and drinks together.
The drink lines for the romantic boat cruise Santorini for couples listings are short. Three listings name an open bar. One lists unlimited drinks, and one lists unlimited wine. One offers a glass of local wine. One offers beers and wine. One serves local white wine with the meal.
One open-bar listing lists a sparkling wine as the sun sets and a special wine with the food. None of the 12 names a Santorini wine. A couple choosing the romantic boat cruise Santorini for couples asks the operator which bottles are on board.
For the island’s own wines, Wikipedia describes Santorini as a Greek wine region in the southern Cyclades. It names three classified wines: Santorini, Nykteri and Vinsanto. A wine sold as Santorini holds at least 75 percent Assyrtiko, with Athiri or Aidani for the rest.
Wikipedia adds that the vines grow close to the soil in a basket shape. The shape protects the grapes from strong wind and heat. It calls Assyrtiko the flagship grape of the island, a high-acid grape with citrus and mineral notes. About 1,200 hectares of the island are under vine.
Vinsanto is the sweet one. Wikipedia says the grapes are sun-dried for 12 to 14 days before crushing. The wine then ages at least 24 months in oak. A bottle labelled Vinsanto holds at least 51 percent Assyrtiko.
Wikipedia says Nykteri was traditionally harvested at night, and its name means working the night away. After fermenting, it ages at least three months in oak. Like Santorini, it holds at least 75 percent Assyrtiko.
How do couples spend the hours on a romantic boat cruise Santorini for couples?
Swimming, sunbathing and the sunset fill the hours. Five listings of the romantic boat cruise Santorini for couples name a swim. One lets guests steer the wheel, and one gives free time on Thirasia.
All 11 romantic boat cruise Santorini for couples listings name a sunset in the title or the summary. For 10 of them the sunset is the trip itself. One listing makes it a choice: the guest picks a sunbathe or the sunset. A couple who wants the sunset as the point of the trip picks from the 10.
The swim in the romantic boat cruise Santorini for couples listings comes in three forms. One listing names swim stops and no place. Two name a beach, and two name the waters of Palea Kameni. A couple who wants a swim in the springs reads the two Palea Kameni listings first.
Two listings name snorkelling. One puts it at the volcano and also offers the sunbathe choice. The other lists snorkelling at a beach stop on a luxury catamaran. Two guests who like the water read these two first.
One listing adds a sunbathe on deck and calming music. Another sells a sunset sailing trip where guests steer the wheel if conditions allow. That listing suits a couple who wants to do something on the boat, not only sit on it.
Four listings name the sail around the caldera or the volcano. Two of those four also sell the view. One promises panoramic views of the ocean, and one promises volcanic scenery.
Two listings put the sunset in the same sentence as the dinner. One says the sun sets over the island. One says it sets over the Aegean Sea. A couple who wants dinner and sunset in one line reads these two. A third listing says guests sail into the sun.
One dinner cruise gives free time on Thirasia. One sunset cruise lists photos of the volcanic islands. Five listings add a soak in hot springs. Each of these is a single line in a summary. The time spent at each stop is a question for the operator.
The romantic boat cruise Santorini for couples is one evening of a longer week. For the other days, the Santorini honeymoon guide covers hotels, villages and the other things couples book.
Which boats suit two guests on a romantic boat cruise Santorini for couples?
Speedboat listings set the booking minimum at 2 guests on two boats. Two more cap the party at 4 and 6. On the romantic boat cruise Santorini for couples, the catamaran and sailing listings set a limit of 10 to 15.
Four listings sell a speedboat. All four carry the Private group label and sit in the Private tour category. Two of them run in English and Greek, and two run in English only.
With the romantic boat cruise Santorini for couples in mind, a booking minimum of 2 fits two guests exactly. Two guests meet it, and a single guest does not. Both of those forms stop at 7, so a couple can add up to five more guests.
Each speedboat listing sets its own hours and party:
- 3 to 5 hours, a party of 2 to 7.
- 5 hours at sunset, a party of 2 to 7.
- 3 hours in the morning, a party of 1 to 4.
- 3 hours, a party of 1 to 6.
Food on the speedboats is lighter. One title lists food and drinks. One listing names local treats, and one names snacks and soft drinks. One adds premium snacks, fresh fruit and an optional lunch stop.
The larger boats sit at the other end of the range. One is a sailing tour, and three are catamaran cruises. The three catamaran listings are filed as Water activity. They run 4.5 to 5 hours, and the speedboats run 3 to 5 hours. The small-group catamaran sets the highest party limit of the eight.
Three of the four larger boats name a dinner, and one names lunch or dinner. A couple who wants dinner from the romantic boat cruise Santorini for couples listings reads the larger boats.
Only one speedboat listing names a sunset in its title. A couple who wants a sunset on a small boat has one listing to read.
A day on a yacht is a different booking from the romantic boat cruise Santorini for couples. The Santorini private yacht cruise guide covers it, so the boats above stay on the speedboat and the catamaran.
Which stops do the evening listings of a romantic boat cruise Santorini for couples make?
Nine of the 11 evening listings name a stop or a swim. Five name the hot springs, two name Thirasia, and two name the Red Beach and the White Beach. Two name no stop at all, so a romantic boat cruise Santorini for couples differs by listing.
An evening listing here means a listing whose title or summary names the sunset or a dinner. Eleven bookable listings fit that rule, and none names Oia as a stop. Guests who want a trip built around the village can read the Oia sunset tour options.
The hot springs are the one stop that five listings share on a romantic boat cruise Santorini for couples. Two of them name Palea Kameni, which Wikipedia translates as Old Burnt Island. One pairs the springs with a hike to the volcano. One offers a bath in warm sulfur waters, and one names the volcano’s hot springs.
Two listings name Thirasia. One gives guests free time on the island. The other lists a swim, a meal and drinks amid its scenery. Wikipedia files the island as Therasia and calls it the second largest of the Santorini group.
Two listings name Nea Kameni on a romantic boat cruise Santorini for couples. One has guests snorkel at the volcanic islet, and the other sails to its active volcano. Wikipedia calls Nea Kameni a small, uninhabited island of volcanic origin inside the flooded caldera.
Two listings name the Red Beach and the White Beach. One swims off them and sails by the Akrotiri Lighthouse, which no other evening listing names. The other offers swimming and snorkelling at Mesa Pigadia Beach and names the Indian Rocks. Wikipedia calls the lighthouse one of the oldest lighthouses in Greece.
- One listing names six places: Thirasia, the hot springs, Mesa Pigadia Beach, Red Beach, White Beach and the Indian Rocks.
- No other listing names more than four places. The next longest names Nea Kameni, both of those beaches and the Akrotiri Lighthouse.
- Two listings promise swim stops and name no place for them.
- Two listings name no stop at all: the one with the word romantic in its title and a sunset dinner cruise. Both summaries stay with the caldera and its volcanic scenery.
- Two listings add a bullet list of highlights, and the other nine give their stops in the summary alone.
One of the two swim-stop listings calls its trip a small group. The Santorini small group boat cruises guide compares the boats behind that label. Couples who want a smaller party on a romantic boat cruise Santorini for couples can start there.
