Description

Cruise the legendary Caldera of Santorini aboard the elegant Azimut 42, a 13-meter motor yacht offering refined Italian design, comfort, and performance.

Departing from Vlychada Port, this private cruise takes you past iconic spots like Red Beach, White Beach, and Black Mountain, with plenty of time for swimming and snorkeling in Santorini’s crystal-clear waters. You’ll also stop at the volcanic Hot Springs for a warm, mineral-rich dip.

Enjoy a traditional Greek meal at a seaside taverna on Thirassia Island, then return to the yacht for fresh seasonal fruits, a cheese and meat platter, and a bottle of semi-sweet sparkling wine.

With features like a sunbed at the bow, spacious cockpit, stylish lounge areas, and a smooth cruising speed of 25 knots, the Azimut 42 is perfect for relaxing in luxury – whether by day or during a breathtaking sunset over Oia.
