Where to sail to in Zakynthos?

There are so many beautiful destinations to discover in Zakynthos. Here are some of our favorite places in Zakynthos:

The city of Zakynthos

Despite the fact that the island's main town was hit by an earthquake in 1452 that left much of the city in ruins, it has still managed to preserve some of its idyllic architecture. The town is the commercial and cultural center of the island and the promenade that runs alongside the town is lined with a wide variety of shops, taverns, and restaurants. There are also interesting museums to visit in the town.

Argassi

Argassi is a stunning village within sailing distance of the town of Zakynthos. The village has a long narrow beach that runs alongside the resort where you can take a dip and even try out various water sports! For the history enthusiast, there are also ruins of churches and ancient buildings to explore.

Keri

The picturesque village of Keri lies 10 miles southwest of Zakynthos and has managed to escape the worst of the tourist crowds. It is a genuine and charming mountain village that still retains a strong sense of tradition. The most beautiful part of the village is the central square where you have a great view of the Aegean Sea.

Kambi

Kambi is a cozy and authentic village on the west side of Zakynthos. The village's population consists of about 60 inhabitants who are mainly engaged in agriculture and livestock farming. The village is famous for its wonderful sunsets which are at their best at the top of the hill next to the town.

How much does it cost to rent a boat in Zakynthos?

The price for a yacht charter will vary depending on several factors. In general, you can expect to pay around $150 to $300 per day when you rent a sailing boat in Zakynthos, a price that is shared between everyone on the boat so it will be cheaper per person. The price of renting a boat in Zakynthos can also vary depending on the owners and the type of boat you want to book.

On average you can rent a motorboat in Greece for $150 per day and a catamaran for $600.

Harbors is Zakynthos

The main marina for small boats is in Zakynthos town, and this is also where Click&Boat has most of its fleet on the island. But we also have some boats in Keri. Other ports where we have boats are Alikanas, Tsilivi, and Agios Sostis.

Sailing conditions in Zakynthos

Sailing in the Ionian Sea is characterized by turquoise waters and stunning scenery. When sailing on the eastern side of Zakynthos, the waves are usually small, and even night trips tend to go well as the wind tends to mellow in the late hours.

Docking is usually easy as there are plenty of large, private marinas where you can get help, but it can sometimes cost a bit extra (around $50 per day). One thing to bear in mind when sailing around Zakynthos and in the Ionian Sea is that some bays can be deep, so a slightly longer anchor line may be a good idea.

What is there to do/see in Zakynthos

The number one attraction on Zakynthos is Navagio Beach, also known as Shipwreck Beach for the wreck that lies washed up there surrounded by rocks and the turquoise sea! The beach has become a trademark of the island and appears on the cover of travel magazines worldwide. Take a short ride to see the blue caves from Navagio Beach.

Another must-see location is the National Marine Park of Zakynthos. This is a great spot to see sea turtles and other marine life. Also on the island is the Keri Caves, which is a great snorkeling spot. Anchor your boat and explore the marine life while swimming through the caves!

Rent a boat with or without a skipper

Do you not feel comfortable maneuvering the boat all by yourself? Or do you not have a boat license for the boat you want to rent? With Click&Boat, this is no problem as a large part of the boats we rent in Zakynthos are available for rent with skipper.

When you rent a boat with a skipper, you can fully enjoy the beautiful scenery around Zakynthos and spend time with friends and family on the boat. The skipper can also give you great tips for the best places to visit, as they are often from the local area.

When is the best time to go?

The ideal time to embark on a sailing adventure in Zakynthos is during the spring and summer months, from May to September. During this period, the island basks in glorious sunshine, offering pleasant temperatures and calm sea conditions that are perfect for sailing enthusiasts.

In the spring months of May and June, Zakynthos welcomes the arrival of warmer weather, with temperatures ranging from 68 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit. The island is relatively less crowded during this time, allowing you to explore its hidden treasures without the hustle and bustle of peak tourist season. The seas are calm, making it an excellent time to set sail and discover the enchanting coastline and secluded bays of Zakynthos at your own pace.

As summer approaches, July, August, and September bring their own charm to Zakynthos. The temperatures rise, reaching highs of 86 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit, creating the perfect climate for swimming and sunbathing on the deck of your rented boat. The sea remains calm, inviting you to dive into its inviting waters and explore the vibrant underwater world through snorkeling or diving. With longer days and stunning sunsets, summer in Zakynthos offers an unforgettable sailing experience, allowing you to soak up the Mediterranean beauty and unwind in the serenity of the sea.
