They were so accommodating! The day of our original rental was sooo windy. We were contacted the night before and they graciously rescheduled for the following day. It was lovely on the water!! My 9 &11 year old boys had fun. Perfect family day activity in Santorini.

This was amazing!!!!! The best experience of my life thus far. Dimitris & Dimitris are phenomenal. These two guys made it so easy for me to sail a boat without any previous experience. I booked for my son and I and we both just loved it. If you come to Santorini, THIS IS A MUST!!!!

The owner and staff are very friendly and responsive. The address is unknown street, Vlychada. Not very helpful but with a little common sense I googled Vlychada port and found it easy enough. No signage to direct you once you arrive but everyone is very helpful. Just ask for unlicensed boat rental Sanorini boat rental. The boat is very nice. They provide water, ice and soft drinks. Bring your own snacks and alcohol or arrange this before hand. They views from the water are spectacular. We stayed in Oía and rented a car. It was about a 20-30 minute easy drive and well worth it.

Great time on the water - good advice on where to go! I wouldn’t recommend for first time boaters because there is some choppiness, but the calmer coves were incredible!

Dimitris and his team were very professional and gave us good guidance.
Seen some great sites along the coast, white and red beach, snorkelling around the volcanos and Thirasia island for lunch.
A memorable experience!!

If you are comfortable with driving your own boat, this is a must do!! The highlight of our trip!
Dimitris was great and he also offered so many recommendations for restaurants, activities etc for the rest of our time on the island. Would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Santorini!!

If you are traveling to Santorini this is a must do! Staying in Fira, it cost about 20 euro to travel to the marina in Vlychada. There we boarded our full day boat rental. Staff was pleasant, friendly and gave us all the information needed to operate the 15ft vessel, where to go and swim, have lunch and enjoy the day. Just motoring around close to shore is a great way to see the unusual rock formations and it gives you a completely different perspective of the island. We spent some time in the volcano where the water is warmer due to the underground spring. You can grab any bouy you see and tie up. Then went on to the island of Thirasia where we hung out in Korfos Bay. Here again, tie up to any bouy you see and swim, sunbathe and enjoy this beautiful spot. While there we had a great lunch at qhera restaurant. Although pricey the food was amazing and the experience was worth every penny. We then headed back to Santorini and motored the coast back to the marina. For all the motoring around we did we used about 50 euro in fuel which you pay for yourself. I would definitely recommend a full day as opposed to a half. You can't believe how fast time goes by on the water. You have the boat till sunset but we returned to the dock around 7pm. Plenty of time to make it back to Fira for dinner and the 8:30 sunset. Next time I definitely would add Oia to my destinations. Looks like they have a wonderful marina there. This was a great value for the money.

We saw White beach and went to goat island. Both Dimitri’s explained where to go very well and the instructions were very clear allowing us to have a great safe time.

Great adventure and best way to see the Island. This was the highlight of my trip to Santorini, the boat is equipped with a GPS that has all the hot spots mapped out for you. Even had the opportunity to dock the boat and have lunch on another island where you can swim and relax. Driving the boat is easy and I am thankful for Dimitris and his team. They even arrange pickup up for me and even the driver that picked me up was informative and just all around great person to have. If you do rent a boat I would inquire with them first as they have it all. Large boat with a skipper or the smaller boat that you can drive yourself.
