“Good times and Sunset - Captains Andreas and Thannis and Host Georgia and their crew were amazing! They really were so much fun and set the mood for the cruise with their friendly welcome, their beautiful music and friendly atmosphere. We sang, we danced, we ate Greek food! It is definitely an activity that I would not miss in Santorini. And they sent transportation to pick us up!” (Reviewed on 2025-05-05)

“Amazing Sailing Experience - Experienced a sunset cruise on the ship The Overseas. Had an absolutely amazing time between the wonderful crew, delicious food, and out of this world sights. Swam in the Aegean Sea at the black beach and the sulphur hot springs. Would absolutely do this again. Thank you to the crew of the Overseas, you were wonderful!” (Reviewed on 2025-05-08)

“Cruise not to be missed! - Dream cruise team activated! Frankly, this semi-private cruise was heavy! Crew at the top, little care from start to finish. Big dedication to the young Frenchman on board who provided for the translations – you managed! Perfect music, souvenir photos taken without having to ask, chill vibes and crazy sunset… the winning combo! We ate great, we swam in postcard water, and we ended the day with stars in our eyes (and lots of Insta stories, don’t lie). If you want to live Santorini to the fullest and get pissed off, rush with your eyes closed!” (Reviewed on 2025-04-18)
