Yacht charter in Zakynthos · Olympic — 450 (2021)

Exactly as previous comments mentioned. Top notch service and communication from Manolis.

We had a great time! I recommend!

We had a wonderful experience, renting from Manolis. The boat was clean and ready. He was punctual and very responsive. He gave us clear directions and showed me how to use the boat and where to go. We had a wonderful experience and highly recommend him , thank you Manolis, we will be back!

Manolis was very kind and everything worked out great with the boat. We had a amazing day on the sea of Zakynthos! Thank you very much! 🙏🏻

We had an amazing day on this boat! The boat was great and the instructions and communication were very clear. Manolis was very kind and helped us on our way! :) Definitely a recommendation!

The rental process was nice and easy

It was a very nice day in the sea. Everything was fantastic.

Great value for money. One of the cheapest options, and we were completely satisfied with the service. We went all over the place with the boat, which served us well. Manolis is a very kind guy, too.

Thank you for a great day :)

We rent 2 times baot to Manolis and it was perfect 2 times. I recommande !

Manolis was great and the boat itself was brilliant, great time!

We had an awesome time. I was expecting it to be amazing but it was even better. Very fun day!

Excellent! Was a very nice day and Manolis is a very friendly person! Would definitely recommend this to others.

Very nice guy!! Very good instructions on the boot! We recommend Manolis!!

Prefect. Really had a blast! Had to call the guy and picked us up with the boot. Very good work of showing all the stuff around. Easy to use even for beginners. Very friendly and stress free :) thank you for a wonderful day!

Manolis was really nice, gave us all the important instructions briefly. The ice box was really handy. The boat was totally fine, took us everywhere. Unfortunately we had a stuck anchor, but Manolis came to us and set it free, so we could continue our adventure. He only asked for the price of his gas, which was totally fine.

The communication with Manolis was very good and he also explained to us how to use the boat and where to go for the nicest spots. We’ve had an amazing time and we even saw some turtles, so that was fantastic!

Had a great day on the water! Nice boat, we got some cold water :) we used it from 10u-18.30u. That was perfect! The exact location in the harbour itself was not very clear, but then Manolis called and we found him.

Recommend mr. Manolis!

The boat was well-eqiupped, clean and reliable. We had a great day on the sea!

Amazing! Manolis was so professional and super friendly. The boat was clean and spacious! Best experience ever

Everything was fine. Thank you very much 🙂

We had a great day out on the boat was a perfect activity to be out on the water driving the boat. Good service and communication from Manolis.

Manolis was really nice and helpful! He gave us a bluetooth speaker and an ice box to keep our water cold.

The boat is very nice and clean. Manolis is easy to comunicate with. He waited for us earlier because there were a storm, and he knew about it, without telling him. The boad is easy to drive and comfortable for 4 persons. Reccomend! For this price this is the best boat!

Manolis was incredibly helpful and kind. He showed us how to handle the boat. Really worth it and a great experience. On top of that, he allowed us to have our pet dog with us, which is a big plus. We highly recommend it.

We can recommend Manolis to everyone! In the morning we had a half hour delay by ourselves. Manolis was really friendly and said it was ok to bring back the boat a half hour later! He brought us a coolbox with some cold bottles of water and a music speaker. The boat was clean and has enough power to bring you to all the hotspots arround Marathonisi and the caves arround Keri. After having a wonderfull day on the water Manolis was waiting for us at the beach so we could immediately give him back the boat. 10/10!!

Perfect boat, easy and fast communication and punctual. If you are in doubt about this boat ride, you SHOULD DO IT, it's the best activity in Zakynthos. And it VERY EASY to drive.

Great boat and owner. Speaker, coolbox with water included. Very good time spent on the boat. I can recommend to rent a boat from Manolis.

Manolis was very nice, and the boat was also in a good condition. He gave us map, where we could go. He was also prepared with water and a speaker as well. We really had a great time on the boat, definetely will do it again with Manolis!

Manolis was very friendly, helpful and professional. The boat was great and had everything we needed. He even gave us bottles of water and a Bluetooth speaker to put music. I totally recommend !

Manolis is very kind and helpful person. He showed us the basics of operating the boat, gave us some recommendations where to go and also left us a few bottles of cold water. It was very nice experience, thank you!

Manolis is truly deserving of the title superhost. The boat is in excellent condition and the price for what you get is unbeatable (We asked other renters). He explained everything we needed and even gave us an extra portable minifridge packed with water! When I come back to zakinthos I'm definitely renting from manolis again.

Manolis is excellent, highly recommend.

Thank you for renting us your boat Manolis. Had a wonderful time

Excellent host, wonderful experience, great motorboat for inexperienced navigators. I would recommend 100%!

We had a beautiful day thanks to Manolis! He even had a coolbox with some drinks, a speaker and powerbank for on the boat. I would recommend it to everyone!

We had a wonderful day with the boat. Manolis was very kind and easy to contact via WhatsApp or phone. He responded very quick. I would definitely recommend him!!

Fantastic experience, great communication! Big thanks!

I was not informed upfront that we still needed to pay for the benzene although it seems logic. But for the rest everything was very much ok.

Very good, thank you

Great day! Nice man. Including a cool box wijt water en a speaker. Boat fine!

Everything was perfect!

Mamolis is super Person! Everything was perfect! Communication Price Help!!! We stock on the middle of sea one call and he coming to help us!!! If you looking good boat in good price!!!! I 110% Recommended!!! Thank you one more time Manolis !

Manolis is an excellent host. Because of bad weather forecast he offered to move the booking, and we even got at better boat. Everything went smooth both getting the boat and returning it. Highly recommended.

Very nice boat, nice guy and excellent experience. When in Zakynthos, and you want to see trouble&hassle free turtles, contact Manolis!

Mr. Manolis a super friendly, experienced and proffesional guy! The Olympic 450 is a nice tiny boat with 30 hp outboard. All as described. More suitable for flat water (more comfort). 4 hours trip is perfect but you can relax for all day long too. The cliffs are amazing! https://youtu.be/AqU9dJzLyF8

👌 Perfect - no other words needed.

Really good communication and flexible solutions.Highy recommend . Boat looked like brand new.

Really great experience. 100% will recommend. The owner was great and the boat was awesome. For us, the 4h experience was enough, we managed to see all the caves up until south of Keri caves, did some swimming and sun bath. Thanks

Spent a wonderful day on the water. Everything was perfect thanks to Manolis. I highly recommend him!

One of the best activities you can do on Zakynthos. Best boat and the owner is super friendly. He gave me water and a speaker for the trip. Recommend it!!

Hello everyone! Our experience was perfect. Mr. Manolis is very kind, symphatic, willing and humane. If you are not sure with your skills or everything, he give you advice and helps. Money are not on first place at him. We finished our trip soonly because my wife was little bit scary on open sea and he took us back ať hotel and due to our travel he stopped us on place where we saw our first and probably Last turtle here in Laganas 🙂 Thank you for that enjoyment. I strongly recommend his services because you will have what you need and you will meet fantastic human 🙂 One more thank you! O+L+N

Great day, great boat, great Manolis

Manolis was very kind with us, the boat was excellent, clean and pefect!

No words to describe him. Gentle man and professional. Next time it‘s better to detail before, the cost of fuel that you must pay extra. But I could advice for your enjoy day!!!

By far the best!! The boat was perfect fast, new and clean. Manolis was so kind and helpful the BEST host for boats. We left so happy, great experience . Thank you Manolis!!!!!!

Really nice experience! Thank you:)

5 stars reservation ! Best price and quality to enjoy a full day on boat. Manolis is very kind and all was easy with him. Perfect day on his boat.

Was great

Everything was perfect. Manolis was very responsive and flexible, we had a wonderful day on board his boat. Thanks again. We recommend.

Everything worked.

It was a great experience and everything went well

The trip on Manolis' boat was truly an unforgettable experience. He drove with us out of the harbor to explain everything and when we returned he was already waiting for us and helped us dock. All in all, an unforgettable day thanks to Manolis.

Nice boat. Box on the boat and cool box. Nice landlord

Manolis was super friendly and helpful. The boat is perfectly in order for a pleasant day exploring south Zakynthos. We were lucky to see 3 turtles less than a meter in the sea so we were all super happy with another unforgettable day, thanks to Manolis and his boat

Everything fantastic, boat equipped with everything, fuel measured at departure and arrival, cooler available. Very professional.

Alright!! A great day on the boat

Beautiful experience, we were two girls who had never driven a boat and we managed very well to drive and go to Marathonisi beach. The boat as described and as in the photos, also with a fridge where you can keep things cool and the awning to protect yourself from the sun. An experience worth having in my opinion!

Everything went quickly and easily. After a short, thorough briefing, we had a great day, just as everything had been discussed beforehand. After we forgot something on the boat, they even brought it to the hotel after we had spoken to them. We would be happy to do it again.

Manolis was very nice and uncomplicated. He immediately gave us a very understandable introduction to the boat and answered all the questions we had. He really made our experience of renting a motorboat for a day a simple and uncomplicated undertaking. You can discuss and arrange everything with him! He also immediately explains the price of the fuel and doesn't make it a surprise. I would definitely recommend Manolis to everyone!

The owner was really nice, helpful and explained to us how to use the boat. Very invested and very serious, but also very kind! I recommend 100%. We were able to see some beautiful places and have a great day.

Boat was good

Can only say great. The boat is neat and has more than enough power. You'll soon understand how to manage it. The owner Manolis is very nice man. Contact the Google Maps point the day before where we will meet. No surprises.

We had a great day and lots of fun! The facilities are great (we even had a cooler and music box on board). Manolis welcomed us very warmly and was easy to reach. Highly recommended.

Everything was perfect! We rented the boat from Manolis for the second time and were very satisfied again. There is a cool box on board that keeps things cool the whole time. A music box and power bank are also provided. Manolis is super nice and friendly and helpful.

Manolis has explained well what is expected of you about how to handle his boat. In the boat you also had a map of several routes that you could sail. Manolis also explained where it is best to spot turtles and which points are best to moor. A great experience and would like to sail his boat again! Hopefully see you in the future.

The boat trip was great! We had never been on a boat before. Manolis gave detailed instructions so that you really felt safe. We had communicated with Manolis via WhatsApp the day before and he got back to us straight away, so we were able to arrange the meeting point and everything else in advance. We can only recommend it, it was so much fun. Thank you & we'd love to do it again!

Manolis is a super nice man who immediately helps you if something was wrong, we had a great day that we will never forget, the agreed price remained as it was and it was clearly indicated that the fuel had to be paid later, which for us was €35 for 8 hours of sailing, if you are in doubt about doing it, you should definitely do it. You received a Bluetooth box and a power bank and also a cool bag, had a great day, thank you manolis

Received clear instructions, the boat was fine and the landlord very friendly.

Super friendly and helpful man with a lovely boat.

Boat in Perfect condition, everything was incredible! I really recommend

Just perfect! Super friendly, great boat. There was a power bank and a box for music from the board. Everything great :-)

Ideal rental for visiting the south of Zakinthos. The owner is extremely kind and welcoming and even has little touches for her customers (cooler, speaker, phone charging cable and battery, bottle of water). The boat is as advertised and really very practical and easy to use. We sailed the entire south coast of the island in 8 hours, apart from the protected area which is inaccessible. It is possible to make the same journey in four hours with shorter stops. Superb day at sea!

Manolis is super nice and explains everything you need to know. You get a cool box with a few bottles of water from him on the boat. The boat is in good condition. Thank you for everything!

Great time.. thank you to Manolis even if it's complicated to understand... half a day is enough given that a lifeguard is there to prevent us from going any further.. he throws the ink at us and it gets stuck at the bottom in the rocks.. and he then asks us for 20 euros to dive to unlock it.. great tourist scam! So we returned the boat at 2 p.m.. but great experience

Manolis, best man. Boat was great, communication was brilliant. Now some useful information for those who want to book: 1. Follow the rules. Manolis explains this. 2. Take provisions with you. 8-9 hours is a long time. 3. You can only drive on the southern coast from the south. Definitely book another boat for the north. Manolis has an uncle who runs a boat rental business in the north. 4. It is best to book a boat 2-3 times. This is so awesome. The boat tour is the best thing about Zakynthos! Manolis, thank you again

Incredible timeliness in responding, kindness, friendliness and organization upon arrival. Honest, precise, very welcoming. Upon our arrival we found the boat clean and comfortable (close to the beach), clear and complete directions, a fridge with fresh water inside, speaker for music and power bank included. There were two of us and we had a great time! I highly recommend it, it was a very worthwhile experience.

We wanted to enjoy a whole day on the boat in total autonomy and we chose the right person to rely on. Manolis is a truly gracious and kind person! He let us find a cooler with four bottles of water and a case to listen to music. Before leaving he made sure we understood how to drive it and he made himself 100% available. Really worth it, thank you!

Nice trip!

Wonderful trip!!!

Worst experience ever! We have never had to deal with such a bad entrepreneur. We hired this boat based on the positive reviews. First of all we were never sent the location of the boat, we had to call and ask for it ourselves on the day of the rental. When we got there Manolis was only talking to my fiancé (Greek), not a word to me not even hello, the "introduction" to using the boat was only in Greek and wasn't really detailed for us who are first time boaters drove themselves. Unfortunately we had a problem with the anchor during our voyage, we communicated with Manolis via video call, he didn't give us any solution, told us to leave the anchor there in the sea. We tried to loosen the anchor from the bottom for 1 hour without success. When we returned the boat Manolis wanted 70€ for it with no invoice or any kind of receipt, he made a huge scene on the beach and his buddies who also rented boats there came and got involved and insulted my fiancé for no reason. We have no problem paying for a mistake on our part, but €70 without an invoice as proof that it really costs that much and that the money is not simply pocketed is a cheek.

Manolis smiling and available, magnificent seats, service as advertised, without any problems.

Very kind!!!

Very good service from the owner!

very nice and helpful landlord. I had a motorboat without a license with transport from the hotel and to the hotel good price 140 euros for 8 hours plus fuel I burned fuel for 25 euros nice adventure I recommend

Totally fine! Very low profile but great boat, friendly help. Would do it again in a heartbeat ?

Everything great ??

Magnolia received us well Good explanation went a long way Cool box with water Perfect

Had a very nice day on the boat. The boat sailed smoothly, looked clean and tidy. Manolis was there on time, explained everything well and was there in no time when we suddenly returned a bit earlier. We enjoyed the surroundings and spotting the turtles. We would definitely recommend Manolis!

If I could give more stars, I would. Everything was wonderful. Manolis was always available and answered super quickly. We were an hour late and it wasn't a problem, he even let us keep the boat for an hour. Manolis was so nice and even drove to the next shop because we forgot to buy diving goggles for snorkeling. All in all we were very satisfied!!

We had a great time with the bot. Manolis was very friendly and attentive and the bot was clean and not difficult to drive. In the end he even showed us the turtles because we couldn't find them??? Everything was right for the price, we can't complain

Great

Malonis was very reliable, always answered very quickly and otherwise provided great service! With his relaxed and cool manner, he calmly explained everything about the boat and the controls, gave a few tips for side-seeing, and there were already cool packs and a few ice-cold drinks in the cool box provided??☺️ He is very flexible with the times, so that you can arrange them individually with him when you want to leave or come back... All in all it was a great trip and we immediately made the next appointment when we returned the boat ? Definitely highly recommended and would be happy to come back if we should be on Zakynthos again ???????

Everything went great! Was a great experience. ? to the girls: it's super cool and not that difficult at all ?

A very great trip. Manolis is very polite and accommodating. Everything went smoothly. Cool box with drinks was also included. In addition, Manolis is flexible in terms of the start and end times. We would book with Manolis again and again and would be happy to recommend him! Thanks for the great experience.

Manolis is very accommodating, a nice person and also flexible. We have nothing to criticize about the booking and the course of the boat tour.

Manolis is welcoming, very kind! We had a wonderful afternoon. We have the opportunity to take a great tour of the caves (from Laganas to Keri via Turtle Island)! It was magical

MANOLIS IS THE TOP!!! truly a rare person in the rental world, responds immediately, super flexible, and above all very kind !!! I recommend everyone to rent with manolis !!!!! See you soon thanks for everything!!!!

Manolis is very nice. I recommend.

The rental through Manolis went very smoothly. We were a bit late and he patiently explained the way to us via Whats App. He was friendly and the boat is in very good condition. There was also water in a cool box and tips on where to go snorkeling. We would love to come back dear Manolis!

If we could we would give 10 stars, Boat was ready on time Was super clean and exactly as stated. Very friendly owner, good explanation, and even a music box to borrow. Owner easily accessible on the road. Really nothing bad to say, and certainly worth repeating. It was fantastic

Communication with Manolis well and quick response. Boat as described. We had an amazing afternoon thanks to you. Thanks. I recommend.

Very good rental with Manoli, he is easily reachable for any information before and during the rental of the boat. He is welcoming, friendly and gives good advice. Very clean boat with everything you need on board. All for an advantageous price compared to the many rental companies on the seafront. I recommend that you rent your boat with Manoli.

Unreliability. after agreeing to rent the boat for half a day and a corresponding charge, we were asked to pay a full day's charge. We received proof after 1 day after we requested it. Very bad experience for us from the tenant and from the site.

Very pleasant owner

Perfect service manolis is a unique person kind caring and attentive to every need I highly recommend

All perfect! Super Recommended !!

I recommend it with a clear conscience. Due to bad weather, Manolis changed our hours of use without any problems. After passing the boat, he drove us to the hotel. Hassle-free, lovable man. I recommend 100% !!!!

Everything went well until, to our surprise, we reached the end of the route and I say end because when you pass the keri caves, there is a lifeguard (very rude and foul-mouthed) who demands you to stop without being able to go any further. In addition, I called him to ask what the reason was and without explanation, he started yelling at us, threatening to call the police. Manolis said that it is dangerous but nevertheless, other boats could pass (those that were not for rent). Of course, it is one more scam of the Greeks towards tourism. They do not let you pass so you can hire cruises and others to see other places on the island. If we had known, we would not have rented a boat for the whole day. In addition, he charged us €26 for fuel in addition to the €144 we paid to see only a small area, near the beach. A pity not being able to give a better evaluation, since Manolis seems like a great person. I find the lack of humility in Greece incredible, given its current economic situation in Europe.

Clean, comfortable and spacious boat. We had to wait half an hour compared to the scheduled time because he was giving another boat to other guys (he told us to retrieve it later but we couldn't). The price of fuel is separate.

The boat is new, clean, with a refrigerator, it was very well controlled, it was a great adventure, everything was great as well as great contact with the landlord, a really nice person Manolis thank you once again ?

10/10
