We went on a sunset trip on Blue Lagoon I. Fantastic experience with captain Thomas and George. Professional and well-organized, always make sure we are having a good time and safe. There were 10 guests in total. I initially booked a trip on Triton but was moved to this boat. Definitely a highlight of our trip.

My wife and I went to Greece for our honeymoon and in Santorini we had the good fortune of booking a boat ride with Captain Ted's Santorini Sailing. It was THE HIGHLIGHT. Our trip had so many memories but they did not compare to the sailing excursion. The boat captain and first mate were lovely people and knowledgeable seamen and exercised a perfect blend of engaging with my wife and I while also letting us enjoy each other's company. Every aspect of the excursion - the incredible views, the refreshing and scenic swimming holes, the delicious dinner (prepared on the boat), and the one-in-a-million sunset, made this part of our trip extra special. Thank you, Captain Ted!

We highly recommend 😀 Probably the most beautiful day on Santorini. Everything was just perfect, from the reservation to the transfer, to the fantastic captain Ted and his great crew. The best thing for us was that they sailed.
