We are a family of 3 staying in Greece in June. Santorini for 3 nights & Naxos for 5 nights.
I am looking for a fun way to transfer from Santorini to Naxos without return if possible and can hold our luggage... a boat excursion with snorkeling or stops at one of the islands along the way. Anyone have any experience with something like this? Somewhat reasonably price, maybe $500 ish. Or is this too long of a trip for a smaller boat?
Will do the ferry If I not,
Thanks
Since I assume that this kind of private transfer will cost you much more than $500, you should take the ferry to Naxos. Once in Naxos you will have plenty of possibilities to do boat excursions.
Some options from Naxos (private boat trips, tours & excursions), with prices

There are also larger tour boats that will take you to small Cyclades islands, also an excursion to the ancient site at Delos and a couple of hours in Mykonos. Any travel agency has information. Boats are Naxos Star and Alexander. As I recall the cost was much less than private tours.

From Santorini to Naxos, I definitely recommend taking the ferry. It's an open sea trip, usually rough, without much to see like small islands or wild nature along the way. However, you can enjoy a fun catamaran cruise to the volcanic island while you're in Santorini. So, take the ferry to Naxos; there are numerous options.
