Have you explored our entire island? Would you like to diversify your holidays on “solid ground” and admire the beauty of Santorini’s caldera on a private catamaran? Charter a Lagoon 450 catamaran in Santorini and its skipper and crew will help you get the most out of your sea experience!
The Lagoon 450 catamaran was built in 2018. It is a mid-sized catamaran, measuring 45 feet (13.5 meters) in length. The Lagoon 450 features state-of-the-art equipment, a luxurious interior, and spacious saloon and deck areas.
Compared to shorter models, the hull of this catamaran has increased not only in length but also in width, so it can please with significantly more spacious areas both in the stern as well as in the cabin and in the bow. The Lagoon 450 comfortably accommodates 10-12 people on board, and the maximum number of guests is 14. In short, this is an excellent catamaran, which is suitable not only for cruising around the Santorini caldera, but even for a multi-day trip to the nearby islands.
When it comes to Santorini, in the case of renting a Lagoon 450 catamaran the itinerary includes:
When chartering a Lagoon 450 catamaran, you have the option of three excursions: a morning and an evening tour, both lasting about five hours, and a full day cruise, which will allow you to spend about 10 hours at sea. They all start from the seaport of Vlychada in the south of the island and end there too, so it will be a kind of circular route around the caldera of Santorini with stops at the most interesting places.
All catamaran cruises also include free transfers from the hotel to the sea port and back, snorkeling equipment and, of course, lunch or dinner on board, as well as our local Santorini wine, beer and soft drinks for all guests.
If you choose to rent a sailing catamaran in Santorini and choose Lagoon 450, you can follow the five-hour route as the main program. It can be done in the morning and in the evening or you can explore the caldera in a very relaxed mode and spend about ten hours at sea. It’s all up to you!

IMPORTANT NOTE: the number of catamarans in Santorini is limited and they are always in high demand. It is better to rent a catamaran in advance – 2-3 weeks before the dates you need. During the high season (from May to September) a catamaran can be occupied every day for several weeks in a row.
If you are booking a catamaran close to your desired dates, please ask our managers about the availability of a free catamaran for the desired day before making payment.
In 2024, the sailing catamaran Lagoon 450 can be rented in Santorini from 01/05 to 31/10. Available days – daily.
Please note that the schedule of the catamaran trip is subject to change. Changes are extremely rare and are usually due to weather conditions on the island or at sea. These can be strong winds, storms, rain or other force majeure situations. We try to inform you about all changes in advance.
Program at the beginning of the season
ATTENTION: at the very beginning of the summer season (01.04 — 15.05) the program may be changed (rescheduling of dates, times or languages of accompanying). Please check the details you are interested in with the customer care managers before purchasing.
Please read Cancellation and Refund policy.
In case there are less than 24 hours left before the trip, please book only after agreeing with the manager on availability.
Before going to sea, it is necessary to issue some special documents (forms with information regarding route, crew and all passengers). To do this, we need the full name (as in the passport), gender, age and citizenship of all participants. If you already have this information, you can write it in the comments field when placing an order.
You will receive your tickets by email or WhatsApp – whichever is more convenient for you.
Please keep all documents and tickets until the end of the trip!
It depends on the location of your hotel or villa. Some cities of Santorini are famous for their narrow streets, which are not so easy to walk even on foot. So in some cases you will need to walk to the main road, some nearest square or parking place, where a car or a tour bus can pick you up. If your hotel has good road access, then the transfer will be able to pick you up directly from the hotel.
After placing an order, you will receive detailed information about the place and time of the meeting, as well as all the necessary documents. Please read them carefully beforehand.
During the season in Santorini there is a lot of sun and very little shade. So you will definitely need sun protection: special cream, glasses, headwear, and so on. If there is a possibility of motion sickness in transport, we recommend that you take appropriate pills an hour and a half before departure. If you plan to sunbathe and swim, bring your swimwear. There are towels, masks, snorkels and flippers on the catamaran. If you choose the sunset option, make sure you have some warm clothing with you, as even on a hot day it can be chilly in the sea at night.
All passengers on board should have their passport or ID card with them in case the port authority performs a check of the ship. A paper copy or a photo on a cellphone will be sufficient.
If the weather does not allow you to make the catamaran trip in Santorini, we will try to reschedule it for the next day with good weather. If there is no such date, we will refund the entire amount of your payment.
