Had a great half day charter with Costas in Santorini. Boat was well stocked (towels, snorkel gear, water, wine, etc) and Costas gave us an informative tour of the caldera and its geological history...stopped at several spots to snorkel/swim and other points of interest. Important to us was the convenience factor: Costas brought his bought to the pier where the cruise ship tenders disembark and we did not have to deal with riding the cable car up to Fira, and then getting a taxi to a boat rental place. Costas was a great host, communicated well before the charter, and was engaging with local history and knowledge. Strongly recommend.

Everything went perfectly, a private two days, sailing and discovering beautiful bays, with an experience sailor. She understood our group needs, took us in away from crowded Santorini bays, using all the time at disposal. Full of initiatives and good service including fishing and cooking fresh fishes. This is her boat, it makes a lot of difference in her dedication to ensure you enjoy at the maximum.

Cannot suggest this charter anymore ! Absolutely incredible day spent on the water. Husband and wife team and made my partner and I feel so welcome and enjoyable. She cooked on board and was respectful of my dietary restrictions and some of the best food I’ve ever had in Greece ! Don’t hesitate to book with them - you will not be disappointed.

We had a spectacular day out on the water! Contact with Elianna was great, she’s very friendly, takes the time to explain everything about the boat and she knows all the good spots around the island. We highly recommend booking your boat through Seascape, you’ll have the best day

We had an excellent day out on the boat. Nikos explained everything in detail and gave us all the information we needed to head out for the day. The boat was clean and in great condition and a nice touch with some drinks and a snack. Highly recommend booking! Thanks for such a great experience.

We stopped for lunch at Thirasia which we really enjoyed. I loved snorkeling at White Beach where the fish were so interested in me, that more and more of them started to follow me around. It was really interesting to see Nea Kameni up close, as it's like a prehistoric world.
