Our Story

Driven by the love for the sea and hospitality, 12 years ago, we started in 2009 in Santorini a new company named Caldera Yachting. With a “fleet” of 2 boats and a team of 5 people, we were ready for the big journey; a journey full of experiences, difficulties, where we get to meet different people from all over the world.

Year by year more and more visitors showed us their trust and we drew even greater strength to keep going and grow. In 2019 our fleet reached 18 boats, our team exceeded 120 members and we managed to welcome on-board over 50,000 guests and become part of their unique experiences in Greece. A milestone in our journey is the ISO 9001: 2015, which sealed the commitment to what we do.

Since 2014 we receive with great pleasure and honor the Certificate of Excellence from Trip Advisor, since 2015 we have a continuous presence at the Greek Tourism Awards. In 2017 we went abroad, the company was honored with the award “Charter Company of the Year, ranking it among the best in the world, while in 2018 we came back from London with the title “Best in Luxury” from the International Travel & Tourism Awards.

2009
We start our business.
