boat hire in Zakynthos · Nikita — 470 (2022)

Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Manolis - the boat was as expected - he even provided cool box, speaker and battery pack. We had an amazing day (avoiding the crowds) snorkelling and seeing turtles 🐢

Manolis hosted us very well, told us everything about the boat and where we can cruise. We had a great day. Thank you very much, recommend him 100%!

Manolis was very Nice. Everything perfectly arranged. Powerbank and bluetooth speaker on board. Coolbox with ice.

we had an amazing time thanks to manolis! he explained everything about the boat very well we left the have confident thanks to him! i 100% recommend.

Great day out, Manolis was very helpful and accommodating. Would use again in the future. Thanks Manolis!

We had a great day with the boat, and Manolis was very helpful at pick-up and return. €30 for fuel at the end was as expected (out to Keri caves and back with a number of stops and detours) The boat was fast, shallow and manoeuvrable enough to motor into caves, through natural arches and anchor close to pebble beaches for swimming, all of which are only accessible by boat. There were other boats around, but no where we went felt overcrowded.

We are very happy with this experience and Manolis was very welcoming and helpful. Recommended!

Great boat, Manoli even put a bluetooth speaker, battery, cold water with plenty of ice cubes etc. Very caring boat owner with quality service. Third time renting a boat from Manoli and every time it’s a pleasure!

Everything was great thank you so much !

Great boat and great experience. Such a great boat and great for the price. Manolis the boat captain was amazing and as one of our friends was badly sunburnt he drove 15 minutes to come pick us and take us to the boat and then drop us off afterwards. Definitely would book a million times over with this guy. Quite the potential W’s. Dan :)

We had a great exp. The boat was great, the owner is really helpful and kind. Really recommend! We got a speaker and a cool box too. Thank you ;)

Great experience and great boat, perfectly arranged.

We had a great time on board, we received a good explanation from Manolis before we left and were able to return a little earlier because we had seen everything and were getting a little warm/sunburnt. all the time the host was available via whatsapp, very pleasant! We were also a little later in the morning, but this was no problem for Manolis. When we returned we saw a turtle on our way into the harbor, he took us along to show us another turtle, super nice! we will definitely come back!

Excellent service. Thank you Manolis! Sorry for using so much petrol 😀 Worth every € Thank you

Manolis was amazing! He did a great job explaining how things worked, what to look out for, etc. The speaker was a nice touch. This is by far something we’ll repeat in the future and it’ll absolutely be with Manolis. It was the best way to spend our day trip. Thanks Manolis for everything! 10/10

Manolis was very flexible with the starting time. The boat is really good. It's really nice to be your own skipper! You can stop wherever you want and enjoy the nice cliffs and caves. I definitely recommend.

Manolis was very nice and communicative and it was a very nice boat. We were unexpectedly charged 30 euros extra at the end for fuel consumption which we thought would be in with the total price of rent so maybe the booking information should mention this? But all in all we had a nice time. Thank you Manolis

Very good nice guy 😁

We had a great time, Manolis was very accommodating. We struggled a little to find destination (our fault). When we arrived met Manolis he waited for us to settle and have a coffee stop also a toilet break before we boarded. Would definitely use Manolis again . 10/10

it was a pleasant experience, the owner is very kind, I recommend with all confidence

Very quick and good communication in lead up to hire, clear instructions on how to manage the boat as we were first timers. Map was also a nice touch along with a cool box for our drinks and food.

Everything was perfect the boat was easy to use.

We had a great day on the boat! We were showed how to drive it first and were supplied with water, a cool box and a speaker. Great communication and we only paid €25 for fuel at the end. We saw turtles in the bay where the boat is moored. And the little island close by was great for relaxing.

It was a great experience. The owner was very helpful.

You need to pay 25€ gasoline

A day with a boat couldn’t get better than this — Manolis warmly welcomed us, took us to a quick instructive ride after which we left to the sea. Everything went perfectly fine in the magnificent landscape of the Southern Zakynthos and could’ve not been any better! 🙌 If you’re looking for a boat, choose this one!

Very nice boat, easy to use :)

The boat is great and clean. Manolis is a helpful host. We had a great time and saw some sea turtles as well. Bring a speaker because the boat does not have any

Very good!

A perfect boat for one day! Enough space, water, music box, everything you need to spend a family day. Manolis was very helpful.

Manolis is a great and patient guy, he examined everything, took a short ride with us. He always responds very quickly, he brought us a coolbox, bottles of water, and a speaker to use, really recommend him!

Everything was good, the boat is clean and comfortable, the trip was nice, the communication with Manolis was also top!

alles top

Great person, really helpful, Manolis explains every detail that you need know. The boat is comfortable, clean and equipped with the neccesary. If I come back to Zante, I will rent again a boat with Manolis.

the owner Manolis is very polite and helps to explain all you need on the boat. Also really fair about the used fuel (25 euro) together with the good price his boats are a real recommendation. Next Time on Zakynthos we will go back to him for renting a boat to enjoy the nature and of course the turtles.

Everything was great!

It was a great day. The boat was nice and clean. There was a coolbox filled with water bottles. And there was an extra bag filled with a powerbank and a jbl box. At the end of the day he even helped us find the turtles :)

Very polite owner of the boat who explained all we need to make a tour on the boat

We had an amazing day! Everything was taken care of. On top of that, there was a powerbank and a few bottles of water (icecold) for us. Manolis is very kind and explains everything very well.

Patient. Kind. And calm. Gave us sweet spots to visit. Very much appreciated

Great, I completely recommend Manolis for this experience.

Me and my Boyfriend rented the boat for the entire day (9am to 18pm). We found the meeting point very easily. The welcome was nice, yet a little shy. He quickly explained how the boat works (we don't have any experience in driving a boat). He explained quick but well and we drove off. Unfortunately I got sea sick by 11 am and we had to return to shore. We called and explained our situation and he came to the Port and took the boat in. Here we got a little confused and agitated. We paid the price for the full day which was about 174€. He wanted an extra 20€ for the gasoline for the boat. Since we returned early and really didn't use much gasolin, we found that to be quite upsetting. He obviously didn't have to give us

Manolis is very friendly and helpful. Good price for excellent quality. The boat is very nice and fast enough for having a great day on the water! We recommend Manolis to everyone who visits Zakynthos!

Manos was very helpful, we arrived an hour late so he offered us to come back an hour later. Great boat in perfect condition. Had a wonderful.

Manolis is a very kind person and explained everything well about the boat. Thank you!

Friendly owner

It was all perfect. Thankyou.

We had a wonderful day on one of Manolis's boats. The boat was in good condition, explanation was clear. He included a wireless speaker, fast charging power bank and a ice box with 2l of frozen water bottles. Very friendly guy, plus he respondended immediately after we made the reservation. Dont hesitate because of his low prices, it is a one man operation with three boats, which makes it possible to offer these prices. Very good value for the money, I am very happy to have booked here. Thanks Manolis!

Perfect! 100% recommended, beat is fully equipped with a full tutorial of how you have to navigate the boat with a plan for places where to go. Thank you so much for your kind service

Thank you Manolis 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Perfect boat! Manolis was helpful and responsive plus provided us with a speaker, power bank and water. Had a great day would 100% recommend!

Had a super fun day! Nice neat boat and friendly owner. The boat is fully equipped and the route along the coast is beautiful. Next time we will book again! recommended

The boat of Manolis was in good shape. Manolis was very helpfully. Everything right on time. We made a nice boat trip. I recommended Manolis.

Very nice guy, everything was as expected. The boat was clean and nice, we had a very great time. Totally recommend.

We had a great day on the boat. He was very responsive and accommodating when we asked to get the boat and hour early. We will rent from him again!

The communication was perfect, Manolis showed us the boat quickly and provided us with an ice box and a speaker (both did a great job). The boat is new and in a great condition. Would recommend, don’t hesitate to book with him!

Excellent service, was very friendly and helpful with telling us about good locations and informing us on how to use the boat controls. Overall would definitely recommend!!

The best! First time we rented a motor boat, and Manolis took absolute best Care of us. Can recommend him in all points to everyone..boat is almost new in best condition, His kindness Made us newbies have such a great Trip around Keri caves in Zakynthos.. thanks a Lot!

The boat itself was great. He provided a cooler and speaker for us, which was great. However, we got bad/no instructions for someone who drove a boat for the second time. We had to pay extra for fuel (in cash), which we weren't aware of. On top of that, the provider acted very hungover.

I recommend boat 100% on time clean boat we got a fridge with bottles of water. a very pleasant surprise, USB power on board in addition, a small engine on the boat fuel reserve in an additional 5-liter tank next time we visit Zakynthos we will use the service again thank you

Manolis was extremely helpful, answered all our questions swiftly and it was great value for money. Highly recommend 5 ⭐️

Perfect, Manolis n1

It was a very nice day on the boat. The service is very good and Manolis is very welcoming and smiling. Thank you for all 👍👍👍👍

Thank you Manolis for boat, and kudos to you for great attitude and communication.

Manolis is the guy, excellent.

Renting the boat from Manolis was a delight. A fantastic boat owned by a very kind person. Manolis is ready for you at any moment and gives great instructions on where to go at which moment. He prepares the boat for you along with a cooling box, cold water and Bluetooth speaker. And there is more than enough fuel to use for a day.

Manolis is very kind and his boat is very clean, well equipped with also ice bag . We spent a beautiful day and discover the Zante coast and amazing sea .

One of the best expirience. I highly recomend this awsome guy. Thank you Manolis 🤝

Manolis was an absolutely fantastic boat owner and I could not recommend him enough. The boat is brand new, spotlessly clean and so comfortable. Manolis was so friendly and helpful- very patient showing us how to drive the boat and even gave us a speaker and an icebox with water for no extra charge. We couldn’t believe how reasonable the price was in comparison to other boat rentals in Laganas. I have rented a handful of boats before but this has been by far the best experience I’ve had with boat rentals.

We had a very nice day on the boat, brand new and very clean. The owner had a coolbox and a JBL box for us on the boat. Very nice service! Below the price of the local boat rentals to. Thanks a lot!

It was a great expierience! Evereathing was how it should be 👌

Very nice boat and good communication

Manolis is a very friendly and nice guy. He gave us all the information we needed in order to have a smooth and safe trip. The boat is brand new and we received it in a perfect shape: perfectly clean and everything functional. Strongly recommend Manolis and his little Nikita 👋

In itself fine, boat is neat and nothing else to complain about. I find the fuel story a bit vague, it seems to me that it is included in the price but that is not the case. We had rented the boat for 8 hours and had to pay an additional 45€ for the fuel, I think that this should be made clearer in advance.

Everything was great, very friendly and nice. We had a brief problem with the engine. We got a refund for the fuel and they apologized. The boat was very clean and beautiful. I can only recommend it

Well arranged, quick response and had a great day on the boat!!

The entire booking process was very straightforward. Manolis' introduction and his tips on the best places to visit were very detailed and helpful. Overall, I can only say good things about Manolis and the whole boat rental and I definitely recommend him!

Manolis was very kind both by messages and in person. The boat has all the comforts and safety systems needed for a nice day at sea. I highly recommend Manolis and will recommend him to my friends. Thanks again

Friendly contact. Responds very quickly. Explanation was good and clear. Equipment on board top. Great boat!

I recommend, everything is as described

We had a great day on Manos' boat. You are picked up and then Manos explains everything about the boat and the day. If you app him, he responds immediately to the questions. We would definitely book his boat again next time.

Great!

We had a wonderful day. Thank you Manolis!

Everything is great, 100% recommendation

Wonderful worth every day!

Had a great day on the boat. Everything was fine, a cool box was provided. Communication with Manolis via email via Click&Boat and WhatsApp worked great.

Very good experience with great service both in picking up and delivering the boat. It was worth the money we paid and I highly recommend it.

Choose someone else, we had to wait for him for about 1.5 hours in total. We asked him to drop us off at our hotel and he asked an extra €50 for this. So don't do it!

Fine !! Had a nice day. Nice guy. Good communication

Beautiful boat and nice communication with the owner!

Very good experience and very helpful.

We had a great day at sea. We would recommend all our friends to book here.

It was great to be able to discover the coast of Keri during the day we had the boat. Clear explanations and very good treatment from the owner, Manolis. Good value for money. Additional petrol cost of €40. We would definitely take it again!

The owner was kind and willing to spend a few minutes explaining how to maneuver the boat and above all super honest. Well equipped, including mini fridge with ice, portable charger and Bluetooth speaker for music. We had a beautiful day. Super recommended!!

If you have a little experience with speedboats, renting such a boat is a must. Manolis' boat was in very good condition, which allowed us to have a very nice afternoon!

At first I had some doubts about booking a boat in the Netherlands, but a super great experience!!! Manolis is very fast in his communication. Boat is clean and beautiful. Cool box with ice on board and a speaker. Don't hesitate, just book and enjoy ?

Perfect! Definitely recommended, very nice man and great for each other

Good contact with the owner. The owner is helpful and honest

Manolis is a very nice friendly man who takes the time to explain the boat. Nice boat and does exactly what it should do. Recommended to rent a boat from Manolis

We thought everything was great!

The boat was exactly as described. The owner was very friendly, punctual and correct. Highly recommended! We enjoyed our day!

Amazing experience

Top, top, top! Marolis gave us a great morning, thanks to his good communication and extras such as a box and power bank. ??

We rented the boat for the day, we were able to see exceptional places and even turtles! We are delighted and recommend Manolis for your boat rental

Made this choice after reading all the good reviews. After a quick explanation of how to drive the boat since he had someone on the phone several times, we were sent out to sea. We looked at the indicated places to go. Finished that region after 2 hours and then sailed the other way. Without knowing that this is prohibited. We then called the landlord to moor our boat at the indicated location. Once there we had to pay 50.- for the tank and take out our stuff to refuel. Then the landlord went crazy because we had broken the rules. These rules were not stated in the advertisement and the landlord did not tell us. We were then threatened and were not allowed to continue on the boat and we decided to take a taxi back. If the gentleman had taken the time to explain everything to us in detail, we would of course not have broken the rules. As for speed and zones. But if we are not told anything and nothing is indicated, how are we supposed to know? What was supposed to be a fun full day turned out to be a short day with a nasty experience... we hope that the gentleman did not have his day and this will not happen to other bookings.

Fantastic experience!

Everything was as described and went smoothly.

Was super!

Excellent service, explanation of the boat instructions could be better and more detailed.

We highly recommend it. Contact with the owner was quick and very nice. He answered all questions and doubts. Great motorboat, clean, everything functional and well-kept. Additionally, a container with ice for drinks :) wonderful views, worth all the money. ❤️

Communicated well in advance and picked up at the pick-up point. The boat was not very clean considering it was the first day of the season..? In addition, we discovered along the way that the anchor was not fixed, so unfortunately we could not moor. All in all, not a world disaster as there was not much current and we could still swim at sea. a bit of a shame. Had the boat been clean and the anchor attached, it would certainly have been 5 stars.

Thank you Manolis for the nice day. Boat is simple and well explained for beginners. Gasoline costs are not high in the end.

Responds super quickly, nice boat, just had a cool box and JBL box, great day.

Fantastic, very nice man

Very good communication, we had a great day!

Manolis is a very friendly man! Helped us a lot. We received bottled water and a cool box and JBL box were present. The boat looked super neat and was very nice. Highly recommended!!

The boat was not 2022 as written, but was much older. Upon our arrival at 9am, as expected, we had to wait a long time and then leave at 10am. Defective accelerator lever. Stereo system as written in the description non-existent but they gave us a Bluetooth speaker. We lost the anchor because it was an anchor from a ship and not from a boat rented by us, so throwing it inshore we had problems with the rocks. We paid €40 for the damage

Manolis super friendly and kind, I recommend.

Very nice and courteous landlord, cool box, cold water, Bluetooth box included.

We enjoyed it so much, many thanks to Manolis!

Manolis is a friendly man. He responds very quickly to his messages. The boat looked good and was very comfortable. He had put a cool box with cold water bottles in it. He also had a box on board.

We had a great day on the boat. The contact was uncomplicated and the reception very friendly. Gladly again!!! ??

Perfect trip !

Good boat price performance unbeatable with others is 150.- for 3 hours

Very nice experience with a good boat!

Manolis was very friendly and nice to communicate with. When we arrived the boat was already waiting. He first sailed a bit to explain how everything works, which was nice. Then we dropped it off again and the discovery could begin. There is a lot to see from Laganas. Many caves, high rock walls, clear blue water and of course turtle island (there are also boats here where you can buy a sandwich and ice cream) We also saw many turtles which was very cool. The boat was very neat and clean. We got a cool box with 4 bottles of water in it (but of course we had brought some ourselves) and a speaker. The petrol was of course not included, but that was not too bad either. We had sailed a lot, because we really wanted to see everything and had about 1/3 tank left. We had to pay € 35 for this. I would recommend everyone to rent a boat at Manolis.

I can recommend it. My experience was very nice with the boat. ??

Definitely a recommended experience in Zakynthos.

Top bloke!

Difficult to moor in another harbor for lunch or a drink. I miss jetties where you can moor for an hour for lunch or a drink for a small fee. We did this illegally and then cost us 30 euros for 1 hour or we had to leave immediately. We were also sent back to Zakynthosh by an aggressive life guard in a boat. He indicated that it was the limit without specifying why. We also had a very nice day and even saw 6 turtles up close. TOP! Yours sincerely, Family from Gerner.

It was a great boat ride and Manolis is very accommodating and always available.

Very nice, great rental!

Everything well arranged! Definitely recommended.

We were very well received and everything met expectations! Good explanation of the boat, it is easy to drive (even with little experience). You can reach the landlord at all times and he is super helpful. Have a great day!

We were helped very friendly and the boat was nice and clean! We enjoyed a lot!

Everything perfect. Boat exactly as in the pictures and handed over clean. There was also a cool box and a JBL Bluetooth box. Really great. The landlord Manolis is a man of honor and thoroughly nice and courteous. Definitely 5 stars with distinction! Χαιρετισματα Jannis & Iliana

Very good boat, the truth was a luxury to meet Zakyntos sur with the EXPERIENCE ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Value for money is absolutely right here. Unlike many of his competitors, Manolis is a completely relaxed personality who doesn't want to get rid of you as quickly as possible. If you have experience, you won't beat around the bush, which I really appreciate. Can only recommend the boat!

Great owner who took us to beautiful places. Very friendly and with a lot of humor. I highly recommend you. Reliable boats and perfectly practical to handle the Boat. Parasol included which is not trivial. A spare engine is included. The boat is very clean and new. Thanks a lot

Everything was perfect!

Really a very nice man!! Boat was great, and the experience with the beautiful nature fantastic! ? Manolis was also kind enough to drop us off at a restaurant in Laganas! Thank you

It was really great ! Manolis is adorable, he managed to pick us up by car in the center of zante, and for the return he took us to a beach he knows well! The boat was in great condition, very clean. And finally we regretted having reserved only half a day… the landscape is breathtaking, full of fish in the water, in short the dream! Thanks again :)
