26 boat rentals in Vlichada, Greece

On Sailo, Vlichada pricing reflects Santorini's luxury status: Motorboats (RIBs) average $600–$1,200 per day; Sailboats range from $800 to $1,500; Catamarans (the most popular choice for stability) start at $1,100–$2,800; and high-end Luxury Yachts for groups over 12 generally start at $3,500 to $6,500+ per day including a professional captain.

A private charter allows you to escape the crowds at the Red Beach and the White Beach (accessible only by boat). You can sail into the heart of the Caldera, swim in the sulfuric Hot Springs of the volcano, and experience the world-famous Santorini Sunset from the water, directly below the cliffs of Oia.

The Caldera has unique maritime regulations and deep, volcanic waters that can be challenging for visitors. A local captain handles the technical anchoring in deep water and ensures you maintain a safe distance from the jagged volcanic rocks, allowing you to focus entirely on the views of the Cyclades.

Most Sailo hosts pick up from the Vlichada Marina (also known as Santorini Marina). It is easily recognizable by its dramatic moon-like carved cliffs. Many hosts also offer free hotel transfers from Fira or Oia to the marina as part of your private charter package.

Absolutely. This is the hallmark of a Vlichada-based trip. Your captain will navigate to the islets of Palea Kameni and Nea Kameni, where you can jump from the boat into the warm, orange-tinted therapeutic waters of the Hot Springs.

Yes! Most captained listings on Sailo in Santorini are all-inclusive. You can typically expect a full Greek BBQ lunch or dinner prepared on board, featuring local Santorini cherry tomatoes, fava, grilled meats, and an open bar with Assyrtiko wine and local beer.

For standard 5-hour or 8-hour private cruises around the Caldera, fuel is almost always included in the Sailo price. If you request a custom long-distance route to nearby islands like Ios or Anáfi, the host may calculate an additional fuel surcharge based on consumption.

Most private catamarans and sailboats are certified for up to 12 or 16 passengers. If you are planning a larger event, such as a wedding rehearsal or a corporate trip, look for traditional wooden 'Kaiki' ships or large motor-sailers in Vlichada Marina that can accommodate up to 40 guests.

A Day Cruise typically runs from 10:00 to 15:00, offering maximum sun for swimming and snorkeling. A Sunset Cruise starts around 15:30 and ends after the sun goes down; it is considered the most romantic option, as you watch the sun dip below the horizon from the lee of Ammoudi Bay.

Your safety is the priority. If the Santorini Port Authority deems the sea state unsafe, your Sailo host will assist in rescheduling your trip or providing a full refund. Because Vlichada is on the southern side of the island, many captains can still offer a sheltered route along the southern beaches even when the northern side is choppy.
