Το καλοκαίρι που μας πέρασε νοικιάσαμε μια βάρκα 30hp που δεν χρειάζεται δίπλωμα και κάναμε το γύρω του νησιού και είδαμε όλα τα αξιοθέατα του νησιού ,περάσαμε τέλεια και σίγουρα θα ξανά επισκεφθούμε
We enjoyed a day out with a skipper who took us around the island. Great day with friendly people. We have visited Skiathos many times and wanted to hire a boat, it was great to have a boat with a skipper for the day. We visited our favourite places and nothing was too much trouble. Give these guys a try...
Oke..you wanne see all cool and beautiful places in Skiathos??..go to these guys for newest and perfect boats they rent..easy acceptance..easy explanations..and of you go to all the beautiful secret places you can only find by boat..Fair prices for boat and fuel 👍👌 #beAcaptainforAday😁
We hired a 30cc from Yiannis and it was definitely the best day of our trip. We also took kayaks a couple of days to nip to other beach bars. Would highly recommend this for a day out to anyone in Skiathos. Thanks Yiannis, see you next year!
Ioannis è molto cordiale e professionale. Le sue barche soddisfano le esigenze più svariate. kolios Beach tra l'altro è una delle spiagge più belle di Skiathos, con colori pazzeschi. Sicuramente consiglio di noleggiare una delle sue barche per arrivare in punti altrimenti irraggiungibili e godere del mare da una prospettiva diversa.
Yannis provided our two families with two excellent boats - brand new and very well looked after. He also has a very good approach to his customers, being very flexible about everything we needed and couldn’t do enough for us. We’ll be back - highly recommended!
We had an incredible day with the family, cruising along the south part of the island, from Tsougkria to Banana! Comfortable boat, engine quite strong in the 30hp category. Many thanks Giannis!
We hired a good quality rib boat for 8 people for a tour around the island, stopping the boat wherever we wanted to get a dive in the water or to have some food. The captain Kostas showed us some hidden pearls as well. Very friendly owner Yannis as well as the skipper. Correct prices as well. Highly recommended to rent a boat with them.
The service was amazing the boat was so easy to drive, and to maneuver. The price was reasonable especially for this boat and for the time of year however, pricemay increase later in the season. I will certainly recommend them to every one and uses them again.
That was our best experience on the island ! We rent it the boat for a day ! It was me and my girlfriend. At first I thought that it would be difficult but Yiannis made it very easy for me ! He told me exactly what to do and gave me some advices as well! That was our best day on the island so far. Thank you Yiannis for your hospitality! See you soon ! We definitely will go back !
For me the highlight would be the day trips, such an amazing experience to be shown Lalaria, caves and secret swimming spots, all the best the island has to offer. I’ve now been on several trips both on my own and with groups of friends - always fun, never the same program and great entertainment for everyone. Even my friends who were never keen or worried about boat trips have loved every minute. Being able to visit beaches you’d never reach by road, swim in waters you never knew so beautiful and hop around the small islands and see the magical sunset! We’ve also spent many days just at Kolios beach as it’s perfect for relaxing and then when we feel adventurous there are canoes, standup paddle boards or pedalos to hire for some fun. So even when we don’t go out on the boats for a full day there’s still plenty to enjoy.Thank you so much Giannis!
Skiathos è un'isola magica, cambia a seconda dello sguardo con cui la si osserva, guardarla dal mare è di certo l'esperienza più completa ed emozionante. Visito Skiathos ogni anno e Consiglio assolutamente di affidarsi a Joannis e tutto lo staff del servizio di noleggio barche per goderne tutte le meraviglie.
Me and my girlfriend hired a boat ,it was a nice boat with 30hp engine no licence needed , we eplore all the island and had an amazing day,highly recommended
La cosa migliore da fare a skyatos è visitarla via mare,in barca o gommone. Noi eravamo 4 adulti e 2 bimbi di 4 anni ed abbiamo affittato un gommone comodissimo e nuovo. Giannis molto cordiale ,ci ha concesso anche un extra time dalle 10 alle 16 circa ,il nostro marinaio ci ha condotto su spiagge deserte meravigliose,abbiamo fatto bagno in una grotta....i bambini sono stati benissimo....tanto lo spazio sul gommone...prezzo contenuto....esperienza più bella della vacanza. Consigliatissima
We hired a boat to explore all around the island the guys provide brand new boats with new engines, we just had the best day and definitely we will visit them again , highly recommended
Last july I visit Giannis and I’m amazed by the nice service minded approach and the very nice boats. We had a great day at sea and with the recommendations from Giannis we got to see very nice places around Skiathos.
My family & I have known Yannis for over 10 years, & have only good things to say. Yannis will go above and beyond to help with anything, nothing is too much trouble. 🏖️🍷🏝️🚣☀️🍹
Ο Γιάννης σε βοηθάει πολύ με τις βάρκες εξηγώντας τα πάντα για αυτήν και για το που να πας. Ξεκινήσαμε 10:00 Το πρωί πήγαμε σε αρκετές παραλίες,φάγαμε σε ένα ταβερνάκι στο τσουρέκια και 18:00 γυρίσαμε πίσω! Το προτείνω ανεπιφύλακτα!
We hired a boat from here for the day in Aug 2018. Brand new boats and the owner took the time to show my husband how to drive and park etc which was really handy as never driven a boat before. Brand new life jacket for our 3 year old. Fun way to see the island. The owner showed us on map where we could and couldn't go due to wind and recommended places to go. Visiting again this summer and will definitely rent from here again
Me and my girlfriend decided to rent a boat and giannis the owner gave us a brand new boat with a 30hp motor and we explored all island, we would like to thank him because we had the best day of our holiday, we will visit definitely again. Highly recommended. Thank you for such a wonderful day
We hired the 50hp boat which was perfect for the two of us. We got to see the whole island and also visited two other islands. We had lunch on one of the islands called Arkos, where there is a great taverna for seafood! We were advised of all the best beaches for swimming and snorkelling. Such a great experience.
We rent a good quality boat, Karel, a whole day. Good price and very good service. Highly recommended to try this during your holidays. We were even picked up and returned to our hotel!
Capitan Costas is the best!! Proprietario davvero molto disponibile a venire incontro alle nostre esigenze. Nonostante il mare decisamente mosso, il capitano Costas è riuscito a portarci a Lalaria per vivere un'emozione unica: essere gli unici sulla magnifica spiaggia. Grazie al gommone più potente di quello richiesto, siamo riusciti ad affrontare il difficile tragitto, che tutte le altre barche non hanno praticato. Sono stati gentilissimi a cambiare, su nostra richiesta, il piano di viaggio per portarci in zone con mare più calmo e goderci la giornata ugualmente. Davvero consigliato a chi vuole relax, tranquillità, esperienza, simpatia e professionalità.
Myself and two friends went on a trip to Tsourgia Island and it was such an amazing day. It was definitely my favourite day in skiathos. The experience as a whole was excellent and the boats were in pristine condition so we felt really safe and comfortable. They were great with communication and really flexible to our schedule. We felt very relaxed in their hands and the whole experience was second to none. I would highly recommend and it is a must do when visiting Skiathos.
We hired a boat for the full day and got to see the whole island... it’s absolutely brilliant and a great day out. Very reasonably priced and great service. Highly recommended.
Lunedì 26 agosto era il penultimo giorno di vacanza. A Skiathos puoi vedere la parte sud agevolmente, spiagge comprese, in autobus o in automobile ma, se vuoi vedere alcune delle spiagge piu belle del nord ci devi arrivare via mare. Ma, come spesso accade a luglio e agosto, c'era il Melteni ed un "po' di mare" tutti i giorni. Con un efficiente gommone Orizon di 6,10 mt equipaggiato con un 150Hp abbiamo sfidato una mare in alcuni punti Forza 5. Un'esperienza emozionante con alla guida l'ottimo Costas che, da buon Capitano non si è distratto un istante e, dopo aver provato la circumnavigazione in senso anti-orario ha invertito la rotta e ci condotto in tutte le spiagge più belle dell'isola. Mare troppo mosso a Lalaria beach per fare il bagno ma uno spettacolo indimenticabile! Ci torneremo per ripetere, speriamo con il bagno stavolta
Very good experience. Iannis was not only professional and helpful but also really kind explaining where to go. Easy to contact and communícate in english. The boat was in really good condition and we were provided with portable cooler and ice . Really nice boat and people . Highly recommend!!
A holiday on Skiathos wouldn’t be complete without hiring a boat, and these guys are highly professional, most competitively priced on the island, with a great selection of well maintained boats. Giannis was a pleasure to deal with, with a wealth of useful information about where to go and where to eat. We hired a boat for 3 separate days. Two adults and five kids and everyone loved it. Wouldn’t go anywhere else. Thanks guys. Jamie & Lisa
Recomend with all the trust ! Great guy, great boats, cheap ! Best day activity from 10 to 6 pm ! You should go with at least a day before to make reservation for the boat !
Abbiamo affittato una barca con motore 30 cv e abbiamo potuto godere del magnifico panorama di tutta l'isola. La barca era nuova e dotata di una mappa dove sono segnati i posti da evitare e quelli consigliati. Un servizio eccellente, il ragazzo del noleggio è stato gentilissimo a spiegarci rapidamente come si pilota il mezzo (semplicissimo). Così siamo partiti alla volta di Lalaria circumnavigando tutta l'isola e fermandoci anche nelle due isolette di Tsougkrias ed Arkos. Il meteo è stato clemente e abbiamo potuto godere dell'intera isola ritornando al punto di partenza. Consiglio vivamente questo noleggio.
We had a perfect day on the rib. The owner is very professional and give us a lot of advice to discover the interesting beaches and had a great moment with my family. Price are very reasonable. Do not hesitate to rent a boat with them. Thank you again
Reasonably priced hire. Great communication in advance of trip and a very friendly and knowledgeable team. We had a fab day thanks to the help of the staff and owner who were kind enough to sail us back to the hotel at the end of a great day. We were out from around 1030 until 1700. We navigated the entire island of Skiathos, stopped for a long lunch, visited the airport to watch the planes landing as well as stopped off a handful of times at some of the amazing beaches. Lalaria being something we’ll not forget. Great day.
Δυο φανταστικές μέρες στον κολιό με τα κανό και το φουσκωτό!! Υπέροχη εμπειρία στα πιο όμορφα μέρη του νησιού με την καλύτερη εξυπηρέτηση από τα παιδιά!!! Αξίζει!!!! Ευχαριστούμε για τις υπέροχες στιγμές!!!
It was an unbelievable and super experience! We went to the most beautiful beaches of Skiathos island with a gorgeous boat (as the bus and cars can not reach these beaches). The man who rent us the boat was so helpful and kind but so humorous at the same time!! We really enjoyed our time there and our little trips. **Very GOOD prices**-very GOOD and SAFE boats !!!! BIG TIME!!! I believe that all tourists need to do boat little trips around the island as this is a unique experience and specially i so much recommend you people to rent a boat from this amazing guy Johny!
Väldigt trevligt bemötande med bra förslag på destinationer och tydliga instruktioner för båten. Båt i gott skick och fungerade helt felfritt. Kostar lite, men en fantastisk upplevelse väl värt pengarna.
We hired a 50hp boat for the day, just 2 of us but 4 would have fit in the boat fine. A good, stable boat & plenty fast enough for fun. Top day out, really friendly owner and helpers. Great recommendation for a lunch stop. Plenty of time to go around the island with a couple of stops. We were kindly picked up from Skiathos town which was much appreciated. Well maintained boats and excellent local advice. The best day of our holiday.
We booked a 30hp boat and when we get there because i have a licence they upgrade me to 50hp without extra ....during the day the weather changed and we got back ...they gave us 50 % refund .....they where so kind ... The boat was exlent..thank you so much
What a fantastic day - really well looked after equipment and the guys went out their way to make sure we were confident with the boat and how it worked!
Great service, amazing boats and simply an amazing day! We did a boat trip with Giannis and also we tried the stand up paddel board. So much fun!! If you go to Skiathos, rent from Giannisl!
I arranged for a 3 hour trip with Rafaele and Giannis and boy was it worth every Euro . From the 8 Meter inflatable we were able to swim in Private Coves, and access beaches that you could never see by car . Lalaria was breathtaking and Mandraki where we swam, was divine . Something to be said about swimming in waters where you and possibly a few others who had access to a boat, are the only ones . I always told people that one of the gifts about eating in expensive restaurants was,aside from the food , you sort of chose whom you are seated near . This is as close to having your own Yacht that many people are going to get , so pick this place to have a truly memorable experience. There was a narrows where we were between two spots of land were the waters were really choppy but predictable, with views one could never get from the larger Touring Boats . Rafael was very knowledgeable , informative and patient . He took us to a small Island across from KASSANDRA Bay where we were staying, and never rushed us rather we stayed a little longer than scheduled . No clock watcher which I hate . He made everyone feel comfortable including my friends which don’t really have any Sea Legs at all . My only regret is that we didn’t plan for a longer tour , where we could have stopped at that small Island and had a small snack. Want to feel rich for a Day , plan your Tour with these 2 great guides. Wed definitely be back !
It was by far the best day of our holiday, so good that we came back to rent the speedboat again! . Giannis was so helpful and gave us guidance on where to visit, we had the boat for the day which was such good value. We visited some beautiful bays around Tsougaris island and even had Lalaria to ourselves. The boat had a Bluetooth sound system and loads of space, we were also given a cool box for the day. Definitely the best way to see Skiathos & the surrounding islands :)
We recently hired a boat from Giannis whilst on holiday on Skiathos. Giannis was so helpful in organising the day and the boat itself was amazing. It was our favorite day of our holidays I would highly recommend Giannis to anyone thinking of hiring - you won't regret it. 5 star service!
Yannis provides a top class rental service. We rented the 150HP rib and the boat was on great condition, well maintained. Can recommend him highly enough.
La isla tiene muchas calas solitarias y pequeñas islas, alquilar el barco fue buena una experiencia fantastica. Barcos en perfecto estado, muy buen servicio, serio y seguro. El personal es muy agradable. A repetir.
I had a wonderful private boat trip to Tsougria! Nice boat, nice spots with views, Some music - if you like! It was amazing! Giannis speaks good English which is very nice! .....
Brilliant day had by hiring a motor boat for the day. It's great value for money,the boats are clean and well looked after. The owners are fantastic hosts and give great instruction and helpfull advice. Me and my wife had a great day with plenty of laughs and a great meal on the island of Arco Highly recommended this. You won't be disappointed.
We rented the boat for the day my husband and I. We we’re picked up at the pier and driven to the Kolios beach where our boat was waiting. Very clean, just the right size for two. Lots of great introduction. And off we went into the wild blue ocean. It was a wonderful day without all the people. We stopped a few times and had our own private beach. We were able to see Lalaria up close. No one was there. I think going out on a Wednesday is great, there are no tour boats. We went around the whole island and only used a half a tank of gas. This was by far one of the best day trips in Skiathos. Thank you.
Everything ran smoothly, he operates a very slick and efficient service. The boat was brand new and of an excellent quality. Giannis provided us with the essential weather and tidal information, which was spot on. We cannot recommend Giannis highly enough, had the weather been better we would have taken the boat out again. Great value for money.
Giannis looked after us perfectly providing exactly what we wanted and when we wanted it including picking us up and returning us to our hotel at Maratha beach. Snorkelling one day just for a couple of hours and a trip to Tsougrias another day with the return time up to us on the day by simply making a call when we wanted to return. Giannis even offered snorkelling equipment for free. All the other boat hire companies I asked were only able to offer full trips with a fixed schedule of set hours and depending on numbers of other people which we didnt want. Giannis and Rafael provide excellent customer service tailored to your exact needs and are also very professional. They are also very nice guys too!
On a “cloudy days” in Skiathos we decided to do something a little different. Raffi picked us up from the hotel and drove us over to the boat hut, Giannis got all of the paperwork together and in under 30 minutes we were trained up and ready to hit the water. Now if you’ve never piloted a small motor boat before - and I hadn’t, it’s a little daunting, you’re suddenly much more aware of all of the rocks that jut up from beneath the water. But we’d been told to stay 200m out from shore and in doing so we avoided all of them!! It was a bit tricky anchoring the boat, and you might want to try it whilst Giannis is nearby so you get your head around the 3-Point procedure: “slow the boat”, “motor up”, “drop the anchor”. Sure sounds simple til you forget to lift the motor and drop the anchor too late and anyway...practice practice practice! But the island was spectacular from the water. Even the choppy section around the North of the Island was fun to navigate - those small waves feel much bigger when you’re not used to them - and we managed to see the whole island, and stop off at Arkos taverna for lunch in under 5 hours. If you’re worried about piloting the boat yourself, Giannis and his team can do it all for you, all you need do is sit back, relax and let the expert take you to all of the marvellous beaches on the island.
We had a perfect day cruzing around Skiathos island by ourselves. The boat was in mint condition. Yiannis the owner is super friendly and most helpful. Treat Your Self for an unforgetable day out!
We hired a small motorised boat for the first time in our lives! And what a trip! My husband did the piloting; I just sat back and enjoyed the view(s). We circled the entirety of Skiathos and docked for lunch at Akros (where they parked the boat for us). It was an adventure — even more so when we managed to run out of fuel, mainly because we did more non-stop cruising than stopping to swim! Oops! But we messaged the proprietor, who immediately came out and rescued us with a fresh supply of fuel! Definitely recommended. (The life vests aren’t obligatory — worn by us only because we’re scaredy-cats!)
My boyfriend and I hired a speed boat out for the day.The owner was so helpful and kind when we arrived and explained everything to us very well which made us feel at ease. We drove all around the island and were out in the boat from 10am until 5.30pm! You’re allowed to stop off at different beaches around the island and we also stopped at a little island for a lovely lunch recommended by the owner. The boat was in very good condition and was super easy to drive - and if you wanted to stop and just have a sunbathe on it you just pulled near a beach and put the anchor down. AND WE SAW DOLPHINS!! who decided to swim right underneath our boat and move with us which was magical 🐬Overall it was a fantastic experience and I highly recommend! Thank you x
First visit to Skiathos with our 3 children 13, 8 and 10 months. We hired one of the boats for 3 days and it was amazing. The boats are new, clean, fully equipt with all safety equipment. Giannis was amazing and nothing was too much trouble. We found the most amazing beaches that could only be accessed via boat and explored the whole island. The children loved it! Can’t wait to come back and of course rent one of these amazing boats again ! Thank you Giannis !
Giannis is a great guy with excellent service! My girlfriend had her birthday and Giannis immediately took the initiative and put some balloons on the boat, very nice!! Excellent explanations and very friendly/thoughtful. I recommend this boat rental to everybody!
Had the most amazing experience which I had to share with you guys! I highly recommend to rent a boat with Giannis.. he is extremely friendly and professional! I am absolutely going back this summer!!!!
We rent a small nice rib boat with my friends from Giannis. He was very helpful and also he gives us good tips and a good picture with the functions of our boat we may need. Value for money choice. Definitely we will return and also recommend it without doubt.Thanks you Giannis.
Really nice people to deal with the boat was fantastic, nice quiet engine, comfortable, ice box, snorkeling kit and comprehensive safety equipment. We spent the day exploring quiet bays with crystal clear waters, swimming and snorkling. Better than joining the hoards on the big day tripping boats by far. Thank you my friend Giannhs for everything 👍🏻🙂
Wonderful place very kind people. The boats were amazing even if you don’t know much about boats they will explain you everything. It Worth a visit around the island. We thank you a lot. See you next summer
We hired a boat from Giannis on june ,it was a totally new boat and the the staff was very kind , they explained us everything about the beauty of skiathos island , we did all the circle and enjoyed a lot, it was the best day of our vacation!
Είμαστε πολύ ευχαριστημένοι απο την εμπειρία μας με σκάφος καί πολύ καλή εξυπηρέτηση απο τον φιλο μας τον Γιάννη, που μας ξενάγησε γύρο από το όμορφο νησί της Σκιάθου και μας εξηγούσε με κάθε λεπτομέρεια τα τοπία όπου περνάγαμε και κάναμε την βόλτα μας, σας συνιστούμε να επισκεφτείτε καί εσείς τον φίλο μας τον Γιάννη για να έχετε μια ωραία εμπειρία !!!
It was the last day of my vacation for my friends and I. Everything was perfect,we managed to see the entire island and not a single thing was looking that could go wrong.Highly recommend you rent a boat if you visit the island.Not a thing to be missed.
Very nice experience.The guys there were very outgoing and polite and they helped us with the map and some informations that we needed.The price was good.I totally recommend it to anyone!
In September I decided to take a rib boat trip to 2 little lonely islands I haven't been since 1977. Far away from tourists... I couldnt do it on my own so I asked Giannis and Raphael for help. They took me on one of there big and fast rib boats there and back. It was an experience for life time. Boat and engine were in a fantastic condition!!! Very good price and exquisite service. I will definitely use their boats and service again. Can highly recommend those two guys... Thank you so much for everything!!! You made one of my biggest dreams come true ❤️
Μια απίστευτη εμπειρία,θέλαμε να κάνουμε το γυρο του νησιου και μας συστησαν τον Γιάννη,ένας πραγματικός οικοδεσποτης,μας βοηθησε σε ολα για το που να πάμε πως να πάμε της παραλίες που πρεπει να επισκεφτούμε,για το που θα πηγεναμε για καλό φαγητό,θα το συνιστούσα σε όλους άφοβα,και πάνω από ολλα η βάρκες ολοκενούριες..σε ευχαριστουμε για ολα Γιαννη,εάν επισκεφτούμε ξανά τη σκιάθο ενοιτε θα σε προτιμήσουμε και παλι.....
I went there to rent a boat with my girlfriend for her birthday,was an amazing day,giannhs was very friend with us and helpful what you needed, recommend for sure....looking forward again for summer 2019
5 stars services. Me and my friends had a very nice experience in skiathos island. Bright new boats ,comfortable driving . Giannis was very friendly and helpfully, he showed us everything we needed to have a good time around the island. The places he recommended us were perfect. We had a nice day in paradise. Thank you Giannis, hope to see you again. Strongly recommended!
This was probably the best time we had on the island. We first rented a speed boat with a captain which had an extra cost which is reasonable and had an amazing time, there were not enough hours in the day so we rented it again a few days later this time without the captian and it was easier than what we thought. At first we were very skeptical as neither of us had a speed boat license but it is not required by law for boats with under 40 HP engine, so after some basic training with Giannis which was super friendly and very helpful we set off and had continued to enjoy the island. Tsougrias beach was our favouite spot which we basically spent most of the second day because we fell in love with the place. It is a must ! Definately worth every penny spent, we highly recommend renting a boat yourself than going on one of those lousy daily excursion boats that start off from the town port. All necessary training is provided but if you are unsure about driving the boat yourself you can always get a captain to futher more relax and fully enjoy the day with no stress at all since some spots around the island have very shallow water with rocks which need much attetion plus the anchorage may be tricky for some as we noticed other boats struggling to do so.
Είμαστε πολυ ευχαριστημένοι από την εξυπηρέτηση! Ο Γιάννης μας έδειξε που ακριβώς να παμε, μεροι που πρέπει να προσέχουμε γιατί έχει βράχια άλλα μεροι που δεν θα μπορέσουμε να παμε λόγο του ανέμου, μέρη που θα βρούμε ταβέρνες παραλίες και οτιδήποτε μας χρειαστεί στην διάρκεια τις βόλτας μας... επισεις μας ενημέρωσε πως οτιδήποτε χρειαστούμε βα επικοινωνήσουμε μαζι του για κάποια βοήθεια ενδεχόμενος ή για οποιαδήποτε πληροφορία που μπορεί να εχουμε ξεχασει!!! Πολυ ευγενικός!! Πολυ καλές τιμές!!! Ευχαριστούμε Γιάννη θα σε προτιμήσουμε πάλι οταν ξανά επισκεφτούμε το νησί!
First of all, this owner is great professional and very very polite. His approach to every customer is detailed and with a lot of patience. Boats are great and new. Everything is very tidy. This experience was absolutely perfect and it was the best part of our vacation.We took a boat around 10 in the morning, went around the island, docked on few beaches, visited Tsougkrias for lunch, went snorkeling and we were back around 18h.
This was the highlight of our holiday. Took a boat with a captain, Costas, who was absolutely fantastic. His knowledge of Skiathos is incredible and he took us to some fantastic hidden places - unspoilt islands, caves, obviously Lalaria, a gorgeous taverna on a small island for lunch and provided cool boxes of beers, soft drinks and fruit. Can't recommend this day highly enough.
Me and my wife had a wunderful time during our stay! Super clean boat with an overall high standard and great seating. The trip took us to a lot different locations which was super interestering! This is the perfect boat to rent, espcially if you are 2-6 persons even though the boat most likely can take more passangers than that due to its capacity! Thanks to the powerful engines you can chose to travel with speed from island to island or just cruise and enjoy the company! Definiately worth both money and time and we highly recommend everyone to take this trip!
As soon as we got off the boat, we wanted to do the day all over again! We had a rib for the day with Costas as our captain. We would recommend taking the bigger boat with a captain because Costas showed us so many hidden gems around the island. We started out by visiting some hidden beaches and having a swim in crystal clear water. Following this we went to another island which had an old light house on it. It was once a lived in lighthouse but is now automated. We jumped off the boat and hiked up to the lighthouse and went inside. The view was incredible and something we wouldn't have done without Costas. We had lunch on a beach which is only accessible via boat, which was booked for us. It was delicious and such a treat to sit and look out over an unspoilt beach with a few boats in the water. After lunch we went down to Lalaria which was so special. We also went to a little island that had an abandoned olive oil factory, which you can walk around. We went to hidden coves and learnt about various greek myths, including an old woman who stole babies and kept them in a cave! Costas was born in Skiathos so his knowledge of the island was second to none. Not only this but we were given a cool box full of beer and fresh fruit which just topped the trip off! Thank you so so much. If we come back to Skiathos we will definitely be doing this again.
We rented a Rubber boat for 7 people, 150 Hp, perfect, well kept, very clean. Ianis and Rafael have been very professional and friendly. We have been in Lalaria, had lunch in Arkos and final swim in the wonderful Tsougkrias, after a walk On the beach to the church. A fantastic day. Thanks a lot
We are a family of four and always go on holiday for two weeks. We usually hire a car for a few days when we're away to explore the area and break up our holiday, not stuck with the same beach. We've always found that it makes the holiday appear longer some how. This is our first time in Skiathos and as the island is quite small and has so many beautiful beaches we decided to hire a boat for 3 days instead. Giannis was very friendly and helpful. I've never 'driven' a boat before and he explained that anything above 30 horse power needs a boat licence. They have a canopy to shade you from the sun. Giannis gave me a quick instructed session loaded up my family and off we went. We immediately LOVED it! It was such a great feeling to be able be away from the crowds and have the freedom to go where we wanted. Despite being an apparently low powered boat it was capable of going pretty fast, although my wife wouldn't allow it!😜 There are loads of nice beaches to stop at. It was a bit tricky at first to get to a beach and get everyone off but I soon had the hang of it. It was just a case of getting the front of the boat onto the sand, then backing the boat into the sea again. This left 'dad' to wade or swim back to shore once the boat was anchored. Sometimes we just anchored off a nice beach and chilled for a while, sometimes we landed to explore. Our favourite beach was on an island, Tsougrias. At certain times if the day tourist boats unloaded loads of people, but when they weren'
Decided we didn’t really want to go on the tour boats so took a punt and decided to hire a boat for ourselves. Giannis explained how where we could go was dependant on the weather but it was looking pretty good for the day we wanted to hire. Gave me the full A-Z of how everything worked and where was safe to go and where there were too many rocks. Luckily on the day we hired the wind was low so managed to do a full circuit of the island. A really good day, just stopping when we felt like it for a swim or to have a drink or just moored up at little beaches that would otherwise be inaccessible. Had lunch at one of the small islands nearby (can’t remember the name) All in all a great day, a bit more expensive than going on a tour boat but well worth it for the freedom. The price of the hire didn’t include the fuel so was a little worried that we would be overcharged for the fuel, but shouldn’t have been, turned out we only used 2/3 of the tank so didn’t get charged for a full tank. Top day, top fella, definitely recommended
We hired a boat from Giannis and had a phenomenal experience.He told us how to get to some of the most secluded and breathtaking parts of Skiathos, and we were able to go all the way to Kastro and Lalaria on the other side of the island. We also ventured to the pristine island of Tsougrias and had a wonderful lunch at the beach taverna. Another great recommendation from Giannis. We especially appreciated the comfortable seating for our entire family and very efficient 4-stroke Suzuki outboards. Most importantly, Giannis is a wonderful person who sincerely cares about his customers and treated us like family. He embodies the Greek virtue of filotimo and is one of the main reasons we will be back to Skiathos!
Ζήσαμε μια απίστευτη εμπειρία!! Ο Ραφαήλ και ο Γιάννης με βοήθησαν να οργανώσουμε τη πρόταση εκπληξη στη γυναίκα μου. Μας πήγαν σε πολύ ρομαντικά μέρη και περάσαμε μοναδικά! Τους συστήνουμε ανεπιφύλακτα!! (Ευτυχώς δέχθηκε..)
Μια βόλτα με σκάφος είναι ότι καλύτερο για να γνωρίσεις το νησί από μια άλλη όψη Κ μέροι που το σκάφος είναι ο μόνος τρόπος επίσκεψης... Με βάρκες καινούργιες καλή εξυπηρέτηση ... Η απόλυτη ικανοποίηση για μια τέτοια εμπειρία!!!
John was very helpful and kind and took us around the island and we visited some secluded beaches at Skiathos that had no access to vehicles. He then took us back and we finished our day trip with supper at the town. It's worth mentioning that the prices were reasonable and John kept us safe all the time. Will definitely suggest him to others and will visit again in the future.
The price was resonance, the boat was brand new, and the service was excellent! Before we get on the boat “Giannis” teach me how to drive, how to approach at the places we like and how to react in emergency situation! “Rafael” the other guy, filled up the tank with fuel and prepared the boat for us....After our first time we rented out a boat again and again! There are many hidden gem places you can approach “only by boat” *Once I found my self in Kolios with my family, we decided to have a tour all together around the island and see Lalaria beach and Kastro! So!!! We did it! They drove us to there with a big high spead boat and Giannis was the captain!!!
Excellent experience!!! Beautiful boat trips around Skíathos and Skópelos!!! The guys take you to beaches you can't reach with car.. You can go to Mama Mia Beach and Agios Ioannis chapel from Mama Mia for example! Logical prices and super service!!! I recommend it for sure!!
Σήμερα ήρθα με την κοπέλα μου και περάσαμε όμορφα.. νοικιάσαμε σκάφος από τα παιδιά τα όποια πολύ ευγενικά κ πρόθυμοι να σε εξυπηρετήσουν.....σας το προτείνω ανεπιφύλακτα

Το καλοκαίρι που μας πέρασε νοικιάσαμε μια βάρκα 30hp που δεν χρειάζεται δίπλωμα και κάναμε το γύρω του νησιού και είδαμε όλα τα αξιοθέατα του νησιού ,περάσαμε τέλεια και σίγουρα θα ξανά επισκεφθούμε
Darren
We enjoyed a day out with a skipper who took us around the island. Great day with friendly people. We have visited Skiathos many times and wanted to hire a boat, it was great to have a boat with a skipper for the day. We visited our favourite places and nothing was too much trouble. Give these guys a try...
Ayold
Oke..you wanne see all cool and beautiful places in Skiathos??..go to these guys for newest and perfect boats they rent..easy acceptance..easy explanations..and of you go to all the beautiful secret places you can only find by boat..Fair prices for boat and fuel 👍👌 #beAcaptainforAday😁

Friendly and great service for novice sailors. Boat great quality and felt they answered all our questions. All good quality equipment
Cheryl
Really impressed with the quality of the boats and the cleanliness. Helpful, friendly staff as well. A great day out - much recommended
The
We hired a 30cc from Yiannis and it was definitely the best day of our trip. We also took kayaks a couple of days to nip to other beach bars. Would highly recommend this for a day out to anyone in Skiathos. Thanks Yiannis, see you next year!
Alkis
Εξαιρετική εμπειρία. Ο ιδιοκτήτης ήταν πολύ βοηθητικός και επαγγελματίας. Το σκάφος καινούριο και άνετο. Περάσαμε πολύ ωραία!
Chiara
Ioannis è molto cordiale e professionale. Le sue barche soddisfano le esigenze più svariate. kolios Beach tra l'altro è una delle spiagge più belle di Skiathos, con colori pazzeschi. Sicuramente consiglio di noleggiare una delle sue barche per arrivare in punti altrimenti irraggiungibili e godere del mare da una prospettiva diversa.
Microy
14 Personen, 3 Boote, sehr freundlich, gute Einführung, tolle Tipps, eine Taverne am Strand für uns reserviert,..., alles top
Anna
Είχαμε μια υπέροχη μέρα ! Πολύ ευχαριστημένοι και από την εξυπηρέτηση και από το σκάφος που νοικιάσαμε !
Matt
Yannis provided our two families with two excellent boats - brand new and very well looked after. He also has a very good approach to his customers, being very flexible about everything we needed and couldn’t do enough for us. We’ll be back - highly recommended!
Victoria
Such a friendly and professional service.
Georgios
We had an incredible day with the family, cruising along the south part of the island, from Tsougkria to Banana! Comfortable boat, engine quite strong in the 30hp category. Many thanks Giannis!
Molly
We hired a good quality rib boat for 8 people for a tour around the island, stopping the boat wherever we wanted to get a dive in the water or to have some food. The captain Kostas showed us some hidden pearls as well. Very friendly owner Yannis as well as the skipper. Correct prices as well. Highly recommended to rent a boat with them.
Keven
The service was amazing the boat was so easy to drive, and to maneuver. The price was reasonable especially for this boat and for the time of year however, pricemay increase later in the season. I will certainly recommend them to every one and uses them again.
Michalis
That was our best experience on the island ! We rent it the boat for a day ! It was me and my girlfriend. At first I thought that it would be difficult but Yiannis made it very easy for me ! He told me exactly what to do and gave me some advices as well! That was our best day on the island so far. Thank you Yiannis for your hospitality! See you soon ! We definitely will go back !
Ljls
For me the highlight would be the day trips, such an amazing experience to be shown Lalaria, caves and secret swimming spots, all the best the island has to offer. I’ve now been on several trips both on my own and with groups of friends - always fun, never the same program and great entertainment for everyone. Even my friends who were never keen or worried about boat trips have loved every minute. Being able to visit beaches you’d never reach by road, swim in waters you never knew so beautiful and hop around the small islands and see the magical sunset! We’ve also spent many days just at Kolios beach as it’s perfect for relaxing and then when we feel adventurous there are canoes, standup paddle boards or pedalos to hire for some fun. So even when we don’t go out on the boats for a full day there’s still plenty to enjoy.Thank you so much Giannis!
Lore
Skiathos è un'isola magica, cambia a seconda dello sguardo con cui la si osserva, guardarla dal mare è di certo l'esperienza più completa ed emozionante. Visito Skiathos ogni anno e Consiglio assolutamente di affidarsi a Joannis e tutto lo staff del servizio di noleggio barche per goderne tutte le meraviglie.

Me and my girlfriend hired a boat ,it was a nice boat with 30hp engine no licence needed , we eplore all the island and had an amazing day,highly recommended
Marota
La cosa migliore da fare a skyatos è visitarla via mare,in barca o gommone. Noi eravamo 4 adulti e 2 bimbi di 4 anni ed abbiamo affittato un gommone comodissimo e nuovo. Giannis molto cordiale ,ci ha concesso anche un extra time dalle 10 alle 16 circa ,il nostro marinaio ci ha condotto su spiagge deserte meravigliose,abbiamo fatto bagno in una grotta....i bambini sono stati benissimo....tanto lo spazio sul gommone...prezzo contenuto....esperienza più bella della vacanza. Consigliatissima
Thomas
Everything was perfect,the boat was very clean and powerful. The owners very polite and respectful.
Vio
We hired a boat to explore all around the island the guys provide brand new boats with new engines, we just had the best day and definitely we will visit them again , highly recommended
Arlind
Last july I visit Giannis and I’m amazed by the nice service minded approach and the very nice boats. We had a great day at sea and with the recommendations from Giannis we got to see very nice places around Skiathos.
Coastal
My family & I have known Yannis for over 10 years, & have only good things to say. Yannis will go above and beyond to help with anything, nothing is too much trouble. 🏖️🍷🏝️🚣☀️🍹

Ο Γιάννης σε βοηθάει πολύ με τις βάρκες εξηγώντας τα πάντα για αυτήν και για το που να πας. Ξεκινήσαμε 10:00 Το πρωί πήγαμε σε αρκετές παραλίες,φάγαμε σε ένα ταβερνάκι στο τσουρέκια και 18:00 γυρίσαμε πίσω! Το προτείνω ανεπιφύλακτα!

We hired a boat from here for the day in Aug 2018. Brand new boats and the owner took the time to show my husband how to drive and park etc which was really handy as never driven a boat before. Brand new life jacket for our 3 year old. Fun way to see the island. The owner showed us on map where we could and couldn't go due to wind and recommended places to go. Visiting again this summer and will definitely rent from here again
Panagiotis
Me and my girlfriend decided to rent a boat and giannis the owner gave us a brand new boat with a 30hp motor and we explored all island, we would like to thank him because we had the best day of our holiday, we will visit definitely again. Highly recommended. Thank you for such a wonderful day
Dougie
We hired the 50hp boat which was perfect for the two of us. We got to see the whole island and also visited two other islands. We had lunch on one of the islands called Arkos, where there is a great taverna for seafood! We were advised of all the best beaches for swimming and snorkelling. Such a great experience.
FrodeOe
We rent a good quality boat, Karel, a whole day. Good price and very good service. Highly recommended to try this during your holidays. We were even picked up and returned to our hotel!
sueellen
I would recommend - good quality boat and great service from owner with tips for where to go and where to eat.
Marco
Capitan Costas is the best!! Proprietario davvero molto disponibile a venire incontro alle nostre esigenze. Nonostante il mare decisamente mosso, il capitano Costas è riuscito a portarci a Lalaria per vivere un'emozione unica: essere gli unici sulla magnifica spiaggia. Grazie al gommone più potente di quello richiesto, siamo riusciti ad affrontare il difficile tragitto, che tutte le altre barche non hanno praticato. Sono stati gentilissimi a cambiare, su nostra richiesta, il piano di viaggio per portarci in zone con mare più calmo e goderci la giornata ugualmente. Davvero consigliato a chi vuole relax, tranquillità, esperienza, simpatia e professionalità.
Georgina
Myself and two friends went on a trip to Tsourgia Island and it was such an amazing day. It was definitely my favourite day in skiathos. The experience as a whole was excellent and the boats were in pristine condition so we felt really safe and comfortable. They were great with communication and really flexible to our schedule. We felt very relaxed in their hands and the whole experience was second to none. I would highly recommend and it is a must do when visiting Skiathos.
Daneb
We hired a boat for the full day and got to see the whole island... it’s absolutely brilliant and a great day out. Very reasonably priced and great service. Highly recommended.
Giufio
Lunedì 26 agosto era il penultimo giorno di vacanza. A Skiathos puoi vedere la parte sud agevolmente, spiagge comprese, in autobus o in automobile ma, se vuoi vedere alcune delle spiagge piu belle del nord ci devi arrivare via mare. Ma, come spesso accade a luglio e agosto, c'era il Melteni ed un "po' di mare" tutti i giorni. Con un efficiente gommone Orizon di 6,10 mt equipaggiato con un 150Hp abbiamo sfidato una mare in alcuni punti Forza 5. Un'esperienza emozionante con alla guida l'ottimo Costas che, da buon Capitano non si è distratto un istante e, dopo aver provato la circumnavigazione in senso anti-orario ha invertito la rotta e ci condotto in tutte le spiagge più belle dell'isola. Mare troppo mosso a Lalaria beach per fare il bagno ma uno spettacolo indimenticabile! Ci torneremo per ripetere, speriamo con il bagno stavolta
Wand
Leiet båten en hel uke! Ferien vår hadde ikke vært den samme uten båten fra Yiannis :-) Mange takk!!!!!
Simon
Na een duidelijke en goede uitleg het water op gegaan om een fantastische dag te hebben gehad. Goede prijs! Één woord: TOP!!
Beatriz
Very good experience. Iannis was not only professional and helpful but also really kind explaining where to go. Easy to contact and communícate in english. The boat was in really good condition and we were provided with portable cooler and ice . Really nice boat and people . Highly recommend!!
Jamie
A holiday on Skiathos wouldn’t be complete without hiring a boat, and these guys are highly professional, most competitively priced on the island, with a great selection of well maintained boats. Giannis was a pleasure to deal with, with a wealth of useful information about where to go and where to eat. We hired a boat for 3 separate days. Two adults and five kids and everyone loved it. Wouldn’t go anywhere else. Thanks guys. Jamie & Lisa
Petrus
Had an incredible time with the boat we rented from Giannis. Could easily go to anywhere we wanted, and received top service. Will be back!
Andrei
Recomend with all the trust ! Great guy, great boats, cheap ! Best day activity from 10 to 6 pm ! You should go with at least a day before to make reservation for the boat !
Thilolele
Best, and very recommended transfer service!
Ahura
Abbiamo affittato una barca con motore 30 cv e abbiamo potuto godere del magnifico panorama di tutta l'isola. La barca era nuova e dotata di una mappa dove sono segnati i posti da evitare e quelli consigliati. Un servizio eccellente, il ragazzo del noleggio è stato gentilissimo a spiegarci rapidamente come si pilota il mezzo (semplicissimo). Così siamo partiti alla volta di Lalaria circumnavigando tutta l'isola e fermandoci anche nelle due isolette di Tsougkrias ed Arkos. Il meteo è stato clemente e abbiamo potuto godere dell'intera isola ritornando al punto di partenza. Consiglio vivamente questo noleggio.
Ed
We had a perfect day on the rib. The owner is very professional and give us a lot of advice to discover the interesting beaches and had a great moment with my family. Price are very reasonable. Do not hesitate to rent a boat with them. Thank you again
Matt
Reasonably priced hire. Great communication in advance of trip and a very friendly and knowledgeable team. We had a fab day thanks to the help of the staff and owner who were kind enough to sail us back to the hotel at the end of a great day. We were out from around 1030 until 1700. We navigated the entire island of Skiathos, stopped for a long lunch, visited the airport to watch the planes landing as well as stopped off a handful of times at some of the amazing beaches. Lalaria being something we’ll not forget. Great day.
Christina
Δυο φανταστικές μέρες στον κολιό με τα κανό και το φουσκωτό!! Υπέροχη εμπειρία στα πιο όμορφα μέρη του νησιού με την καλύτερη εξυπηρέτηση από τα παιδιά!!! Αξίζει!!!! Ευχαριστούμε για τις υπέροχες στιγμές!!!
Lorena
It was an unbelievable and super experience! We went to the most beautiful beaches of Skiathos island with a gorgeous boat (as the bus and cars can not reach these beaches). The man who rent us the boat was so helpful and kind but so humorous at the same time!! We really enjoyed our time there and our little trips. **Very GOOD prices**-very GOOD and SAFE boats !!!! BIG TIME!!! I believe that all tourists need to do boat little trips around the island as this is a unique experience and specially i so much recommend you people to rent a boat from this amazing guy Johny!
Sverige
Väldigt trevligt bemötande med bra förslag på destinationer och tydliga instruktioner för båten. Båt i gott skick och fungerade helt felfritt. Kostar lite, men en fantastisk upplevelse väl värt pengarna.
Suepete
We booked a 30hp boat and were able to visit the nearby islands. Giannis was excellent in his instructions and training before I took the boat out.
Matt
We hired a 50hp boat for the day, just 2 of us but 4 would have fit in the boat fine. A good, stable boat & plenty fast enough for fun. Top day out, really friendly owner and helpers. Great recommendation for a lunch stop. Plenty of time to go around the island with a couple of stops. We were kindly picked up from Skiathos town which was much appreciated. Well maintained boats and excellent local advice. The best day of our holiday.
Yair
We booked a 30hp boat and when we get there because i have a licence they upgrade me to 50hp without extra ....during the day the weather changed and we got back ...they gave us 50 % refund .....they where so kind ... The boat was exlent..thank you so much
rne7
What a fantastic day - really well looked after equipment and the guys went out their way to make sure we were confident with the boat and how it worked!
Mariam
Great service, amazing boats and simply an amazing day! We did a boat trip with Giannis and also we tried the stand up paddel board. So much fun!! If you go to Skiathos, rent from Giannisl!
Peterpnyc
I arranged for a 3 hour trip with Rafaele and Giannis and boy was it worth every Euro . From the 8 Meter inflatable we were able to swim in Private Coves, and access beaches that you could never see by car . Lalaria was breathtaking and Mandraki where we swam, was divine . Something to be said about swimming in waters where you and possibly a few others who had access to a boat, are the only ones . I always told people that one of the gifts about eating in expensive restaurants was,aside from the food , you sort of chose whom you are seated near . This is as close to having your own Yacht that many people are going to get , so pick this place to have a truly memorable experience. There was a narrows where we were between two spots of land were the waters were really choppy but predictable, with views one could never get from the larger Touring Boats . Rafael was very knowledgeable , informative and patient . He took us to a small Island across from KASSANDRA Bay where we were staying, and never rushed us rather we stayed a little longer than scheduled . No clock watcher which I hate . He made everyone feel comfortable including my friends which don’t really have any Sea Legs at all . My only regret is that we didn’t plan for a longer tour , where we could have stopped at that small Island and had a small snack. Want to feel rich for a Day , plan your Tour with these 2 great guides. Wed definitely be back !
Hayley
It was by far the best day of our holiday, so good that we came back to rent the speedboat again! . Giannis was so helpful and gave us guidance on where to visit, we had the boat for the day which was such good value. We visited some beautiful bays around Tsougaris island and even had Lalaria to ourselves. The boat had a Bluetooth sound system and loads of space, we were also given a cool box for the day. Definitely the best way to see Skiathos & the surrounding islands :)
Jem
We recently hired a boat from Giannis whilst on holiday on Skiathos. Giannis was so helpful in organising the day and the boat itself was amazing. It was our favorite day of our holidays I would highly recommend Giannis to anyone thinking of hiring - you won't regret it. 5 star service!
Riverhouse
Yannis provides a top class rental service. We rented the 150HP rib and the boat was on great condition, well maintained. Can recommend him highly enough.
Viajer
La isla tiene muchas calas solitarias y pequeñas islas, alquilar el barco fue buena una experiencia fantastica. Barcos en perfecto estado, muy buen servicio, serio y seguro. El personal es muy agradable. A repetir.
Jill
I had a wonderful private boat trip to Tsougria! Nice boat, nice spots with views, Some music - if you like! It was amazing! Giannis speaks good English which is very nice! .....
Soiley
Brilliant day had by hiring a motor boat for the day. It's great value for money,the boats are clean and well looked after. The owners are fantastic hosts and give great instruction and helpfull advice. Me and my wife had a great day with plenty of laughs and a great meal on the island of Arco Highly recommended this. You won't be disappointed.
Kathy
We rented the boat for the day my husband and I. We we’re picked up at the pier and driven to the Kolios beach where our boat was waiting. Very clean, just the right size for two. Lots of great introduction. And off we went into the wild blue ocean. It was a wonderful day without all the people. We stopped a few times and had our own private beach. We were able to see Lalaria up close. No one was there. I think going out on a Wednesday is great, there are no tour boats. We went around the whole island and only used a half a tank of gas. This was by far one of the best day trips in Skiathos. Thank you.
Dimitris
it was a great experience.The boat was new with good engine and the guys there were very friendly and kind.I definitely recommend it
Claire
Everything ran smoothly, he operates a very slick and efficient service. The boat was brand new and of an excellent quality. Giannis provided us with the essential weather and tidal information, which was spot on. We cannot recommend Giannis highly enough, had the weather been better we would have taken the boat out again. Great value for money.
Mid
Giannis looked after us perfectly providing exactly what we wanted and when we wanted it including picking us up and returning us to our hotel at Maratha beach. Snorkelling one day just for a couple of hours and a trip to Tsougrias another day with the return time up to us on the day by simply making a call when we wanted to return. Giannis even offered snorkelling equipment for free. All the other boat hire companies I asked were only able to offer full trips with a fixed schedule of set hours and depending on numbers of other people which we didnt want. Giannis and Rafael provide excellent customer service tailored to your exact needs and are also very professional. They are also very nice guys too!
MFC
On a “cloudy days” in Skiathos we decided to do something a little different. Raffi picked us up from the hotel and drove us over to the boat hut, Giannis got all of the paperwork together and in under 30 minutes we were trained up and ready to hit the water. Now if you’ve never piloted a small motor boat before - and I hadn’t, it’s a little daunting, you’re suddenly much more aware of all of the rocks that jut up from beneath the water. But we’d been told to stay 200m out from shore and in doing so we avoided all of them!! It was a bit tricky anchoring the boat, and you might want to try it whilst Giannis is nearby so you get your head around the 3-Point procedure: “slow the boat”, “motor up”, “drop the anchor”. Sure sounds simple til you forget to lift the motor and drop the anchor too late and anyway...practice practice practice! But the island was spectacular from the water. Even the choppy section around the North of the Island was fun to navigate - those small waves feel much bigger when you’re not used to them - and we managed to see the whole island, and stop off at Arkos taverna for lunch in under 5 hours. If you’re worried about piloting the boat yourself, Giannis and his team can do it all for you, all you need do is sit back, relax and let the expert take you to all of the marvellous beaches on the island.
Warwick
Great day out and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Remember to save cash to pay for the fuel you use
Thomas
We had a perfect day cruzing around Skiathos island by ourselves. The boat was in mint condition. Yiannis the owner is super friendly and most helpful. Treat Your Self for an unforgetable day out!
Mark
We hired a small motorised boat for the first time in our lives! And what a trip! My husband did the piloting; I just sat back and enjoyed the view(s). We circled the entirety of Skiathos and docked for lunch at Akros (where they parked the boat for us). It was an adventure — even more so when we managed to run out of fuel, mainly because we did more non-stop cruising than stopping to swim! Oops! But we messaged the proprietor, who immediately came out and rescued us with a fresh supply of fuel! Definitely recommended. (The life vests aren’t obligatory — worn by us only because we’re scaredy-cats!)
Katie
My boyfriend and I hired a speed boat out for the day.The owner was so helpful and kind when we arrived and explained everything to us very well which made us feel at ease. We drove all around the island and were out in the boat from 10am until 5.30pm! You’re allowed to stop off at different beaches around the island and we also stopped at a little island for a lovely lunch recommended by the owner. The boat was in very good condition and was super easy to drive - and if you wanted to stop and just have a sunbathe on it you just pulled near a beach and put the anchor down. AND WE SAW DOLPHINS!! who decided to swim right underneath our boat and move with us which was magical 🐬Overall it was a fantastic experience and I highly recommend! Thank you x
Mason
First visit to Skiathos with our 3 children 13, 8 and 10 months. We hired one of the boats for 3 days and it was amazing. The boats are new, clean, fully equipt with all safety equipment. Giannis was amazing and nothing was too much trouble. We found the most amazing beaches that could only be accessed via boat and explored the whole island. The children loved it! Can’t wait to come back and of course rent one of these amazing boats again ! Thank you Giannis !
Gaston
Giannis is a great guy with excellent service! My girlfriend had her birthday and Giannis immediately took the initiative and put some balloons on the boat, very nice!! Excellent explanations and very friendly/thoughtful. I recommend this boat rental to everybody!
Maria
Had the most amazing experience which I had to share with you guys! I highly recommend to rent a boat with Giannis.. he is extremely friendly and professional! I am absolutely going back this summer!!!!
Akis
We rent a small nice rib boat with my friends from Giannis. He was very helpful and also he gives us good tips and a good picture with the functions of our boat we may need. Value for money choice. Definitely we will return and also recommend it without doubt.Thanks you Giannis.
Edi
Really nice people to deal with the boat was fantastic, nice quiet engine, comfortable, ice box, snorkeling kit and comprehensive safety equipment. We spent the day exploring quiet bays with crystal clear waters, swimming and snorkling. Better than joining the hoards on the big day tripping boats by far. Thank you my friend Giannhs for everything 👍🏻🙂
Gerald
Wonderful place very kind people. The boats were amazing even if you don’t know much about boats they will explain you everything. It Worth a visit around the island. We thank you a lot. See you next summer
Euglend
We hired a boat from Giannis on june ,it was a totally new boat and the the staff was very kind , they explained us everything about the beauty of skiathos island , we did all the circle and enjoyed a lot, it was the best day of our vacation!

It was the last day of my vacation for my friends and I. Everything was perfect,we managed to see the entire island and not a single thing was looking that could go wrong.Highly recommend you rent a boat if you visit the island.Not a thing to be missed.
Constance
Very nice experience.The guys there were very outgoing and polite and they helped us with the map and some informations that we needed.The price was good.I totally recommend it to anyone!
Fraularus
In September I decided to take a rib boat trip to 2 little lonely islands I haven't been since 1977. Far away from tourists... I couldnt do it on my own so I asked Giannis and Raphael for help. They took me on one of there big and fast rib boats there and back. It was an experience for life time. Boat and engine were in a fantastic condition!!! Very good price and exquisite service. I will definitely use their boats and service again. Can highly recommend those two guys... Thank you so much for everything!!! You made one of my biggest dreams come true ❤️

I went there to rent a boat with my girlfriend for her birthday,was an amazing day,giannhs was very friend with us and helpful what you needed, recommend for sure....looking forward again for summer 2019
Nomad
5 stars services. Me and my friends had a very nice experience in skiathos island. Bright new boats ,comfortable driving . Giannis was very friendly and helpfully, he showed us everything we needed to have a good time around the island. The places he recommended us were perfect. We had a nice day in paradise. Thank you Giannis, hope to see you again. Strongly recommended!
Giorgos
This was probably the best time we had on the island. We first rented a speed boat with a captain which had an extra cost which is reasonable and had an amazing time, there were not enough hours in the day so we rented it again a few days later this time without the captian and it was easier than what we thought. At first we were very skeptical as neither of us had a speed boat license but it is not required by law for boats with under 40 HP engine, so after some basic training with Giannis which was super friendly and very helpful we set off and had continued to enjoy the island. Tsougrias beach was our favouite spot which we basically spent most of the second day because we fell in love with the place. It is a must ! Definately worth every penny spent, we highly recommend renting a boat yourself than going on one of those lousy daily excursion boats that start off from the town port. All necessary training is provided but if you are unsure about driving the boat yourself you can always get a captain to futher more relax and fully enjoy the day with no stress at all since some spots around the island have very shallow water with rocks which need much attetion plus the anchorage may be tricky for some as we noticed other boats struggling to do so.
Anna
Είμαστε πολυ ευχαριστημένοι από την εξυπηρέτηση! Ο Γιάννης μας έδειξε που ακριβώς να παμε, μεροι που πρέπει να προσέχουμε γιατί έχει βράχια άλλα μεροι που δεν θα μπορέσουμε να παμε λόγο του ανέμου, μέρη που θα βρούμε ταβέρνες παραλίες και οτιδήποτε μας χρειαστεί στην διάρκεια τις βόλτας μας... επισεις μας ενημέρωσε πως οτιδήποτε χρειαστούμε βα επικοινωνήσουμε μαζι του για κάποια βοήθεια ενδεχόμενος ή για οποιαδήποτε πληροφορία που μπορεί να εχουμε ξεχασει!!!

First of all, this owner is great professional and very very polite. His approach to every customer is detailed and with a lot of patience. Boats are great and new. Everything is very tidy. This experience was absolutely perfect and it was the best part of our vacation.We took a boat around 10 in the morning, went around the island, docked on few beaches, visited Tsougkrias for lunch, went snorkeling and we were back around 18h.

This was the highlight of our holiday. Took a boat with a captain, Costas, who was absolutely fantastic. His knowledge of Skiathos is incredible and he took us to some fantastic hidden places - unspoilt islands, caves, obviously Lalaria, a gorgeous taverna on a small island for lunch and provided cool boxes of beers, soft drinks and fruit. Can't recommend this day highly enough.

Me and my wife had a wunderful time during our stay! Super clean boat with an overall high standard and great seating. The trip took us to a lot different locations which was super interestering! This is the perfect boat to rent, espcially if you are 2-6 persons even though the boat most likely can take more passangers than that due to its capacity! Thanks to the powerful engines you can chose to travel with speed from island to island or just cruise and enjoy the company! Definiately worth both money and time and we highly recommend everyone to take this trip!

As soon as we got off the boat, we wanted to do the day all over again! We had a rib for the day with Costas as our captain. We would recommend taking the bigger boat with a captain because Costas showed us so many hidden gems around the island. We started out by visiting some hidden beaches and having a swim in crystal clear water. Following this we went to another island which had an old light house on it. It was once a lived in lighthouse but is now automated. We jumped off the boat and hiked up to the lighthouse and went inside. The view was incredible and something we wouldn't have done without Costas. We had lunch on a beach which is only accessible via boat, which was booked for us. It was delicious and such a treat to sit and look out over an unspoilt beach with a few boats in the water. After lunch we went down to Lalaria which was so special. We also went to a little island that had an abandoned olive oil factory, which you can walk around. We went to hidden coves and learnt about various greek myths, including an old woman who stole babies and kept them in a cave! Costas was born in Skiathos so his knowledge of the island was second to none. Not only this but we were given a cool box full of beer and fresh fruit which just topped the trip off! Thank you so so much. If we come back to Skiathos we will definitely be doing this again.

We rented a Rubber boat for 7 people, 150 Hp, perfect, well kept, very clean. Ianis and Rafael have been very professional and friendly. We have been in Lalaria, had lunch in Arkos and final swim in the wonderful Tsougkrias, after a walk On the beach to the church. A fantastic day. Thanks a lot

We are a family of four and always go on holiday for two weeks. We usually hire a car for a few days when we're away to explore the area and break up our holiday, not stuck with the same beach. We've always found that it makes the holiday appear longer some how. This is our first time in Skiathos and as the island is quite small and has so many beautiful beaches we decided to hire a boat for 3 days instead. Giannis was very friendly and helpful. I've never 'driven' a boat before and he explained that anything above 30 horse power needs a boat licence. They have a canopy to shade you from the sun. Giannis gave me a quick instructed session loaded up my family and off we went. We immediately LOVED it! It was such a great feeling to be able be away from the crowds and have the freedom to go where we wanted. Despite being an apparently low powered boat it was capable of going pretty fast, although my wife wouldn't allow it!😜 There are loads of nice beaches to stop at. It was a bit tricky at first to get to a beach and get everyone off but I soon had the hang of it. It was just a case of getting the front of the boat onto the sand, then backing the boat into the sea again. This left 'dad' to wade or swim back to shore once the boat was anchored. Sometimes we just anchored off a nice beach and chilled for a while, sometimes we landed to explore. Our favourite beach was on an island, Tsougrias. At certain times if the day tourist boats unloaded loads of people, but when they weren'

Decided we didn’t really want to go on the tour boats so took a punt and decided to hire a boat for ourselves. Giannis explained how where we could go was dependant on the weather but it was looking pretty good for the day we wanted to hire. Gave me the full A-Z of how everything worked and where was safe to go and where there were too many rocks. Luckily on the day we hired the wind was low so managed to do a full circuit of the island. A really good day, just stopping when we felt like it for a swim or to have a drink or just moored up at little beaches that would otherwise be inaccessible. Had lunch at one of the small islands nearby (can’t remember the name) All in all a great day, a bit more expensive than going on a tour boat but well worth it for the freedom. The price of the hire didn’t include the fuel so was a little worried that we would be overcharged for the fuel, but shouldn’t have been, turned out we only used 2/3 of the tank so didn’t get charged for a full tank. Top day, top fella, definitely recommended

We hired a boat from Giannis and had a phenomenal experience.He told us how to get to some of the most secluded and breathtaking parts of Skiathos, and we were able to go all the way to Kastro and Lalaria on the other side of the island. We also ventured to the pristine island of Tsougrias and had a wonderful lunch at the beach taverna. Another great recommendation from Giannis. We especially appreciated the comfortable seating for our entire family and very efficient 4-stroke Suzuki outboards. Most importantly, Giannis is a wonderful person who sincerely cares about his customers and treated us like family. He embodies the Greek virtue of filotimo and is one of the main reasons we will be back to Skiathos!

Απίστευτη εμπειρία στο γύρω του νησιού της Σκιάθου με ένα ολοκαίνουργιο σκάφος ευχαριστούμε πολύ τον Γιάννη και τον Ραφαηλ γιαυτην την εμπειρία
Giannis
Μια βόλτα με σκάφος είναι ότι καλύτερο για να γνωρίσεις το νησί από μια άλλη όψη Κ μέροι που το σκάφος είναι ο μόνος τρόπος επίσκεψης... Με βάρκες καινούργιες καλή εξυπηρέτηση ... Η απόλυτη ικανοποίηση για μια τέτοια εμπειρία!!!

The most amazing thing to do in Skiathos!Rent a boat and explore the beautiful nature of Skiathos and hidden beaches.

John was very helpful and kind and took us around the island and we visited some secluded beaches at Skiathos that had no access to vehicles. He then took us back and we finished our day trip with supper at the town. It's worth mentioning that the prices were reasonable and John kept us safe all the time. Will definitely suggest him to others and will visit again in the future.

The price was resonance, the boat was brand new, and the service was excellent! Before we get on the boat “Giannis” teach me how to drive, how to approach at the places we like and how to react in emergency situation! “Rafael” the other guy, filled up the tank with fuel and prepared the boat for us....After our first time we rented out a boat again and again! There are many hidden gem places you can approach “only by boat” *Once I found my self in Kolios with my family, we decided to have a tour all together around the island and see Lalaria beach and Kastro! So!!! We did it! They drove us to there with a big high spead boat and Giannis was the captain!!!
Christina
We spend all day with giannis the captain of the boat we make a trip of the island it was amazing experience we do it for sure when we come back
Eleni
Excellent experience!!! Beautiful boat trips around Skíathos and Skópelos!!! The guys take you to beaches you can't reach with car.. You can go to Mama Mia Beach and Agios Ioannis chapel from Mama Mia for example! Logical prices and super service!!! I recommend it for sure!!
