Fancy playing skipper for the day? Why not embark on your very own private boat cruise, exclusively for you and your party? With no licence or experience needed, you can set sail on a seven-hour trip along Kefalonia's sun-kissed coastline. Choose your own route and while away the hours making memories with friends, family and loved ones. Before you set off, you'll get a full safety briefing, showing you the ropes, and helping you plot a course. All set, you can cast off into the bright blue Ionian Sea and cruise Kefalonia's coastline and by her tiny islands – where and when you stop is at your leisure. Putter past hidden bays and into shimmering coves, and cool off with a swim.

Our first time hiring a boat and we loved it. The guide really helped us get to grips with how to drive the boat and showed us places to go to, we had a very enjoyable day.

Wij werden heel goed ontvangen en geholpen, er volgde een goede uitleg over de boot en randzaken. We hebben genoten van het varen, de stranden en de dolfijnen en schildpadden. Voor ons was het het geld zeker waard.

Very good value for a full day rental. We had the boat from 9am until 2pm. The guide shows us a route to take which saw the White Rocks, rabbit Island and a I Beach. Can stop off as and when for a swim and take it at your own pace. Worth noting that you do have to pay for the fuel used after (as you would with any rental) and only cost around €25. Brilliant day out and definitely worth the money.

Amazing experience best bit of our holiday. Guys were very friendly super informative and went through all the safety and maps throughly. We had the boat from 9am to 430pm. We visited all the sites, white rocks beach being the best. It’s a must do. It was very reasonable and the fuel was 30 euro on top but we gave 40 euro as they were so good. 10/10 thank you.

We had such a fantastic day! Kris, who arranged our boat hire was extremely helpful, sent us all the locations and explained everything we needed to know and kept in touch throughout the trip. We loved the freedom of staying as long as we wanted at each of the stops. This is such a great way of seeing a little more of the island.

Never driven a boat in my life. The instructions on how to drive to boat were clear. All safety equipment was provided, flares, life jackets etc. we where also given a route to take and shown on my google maps as I wouldn’t of had a clue and they where very easy to follow. The people that own/work at the boat company. I cannot remember the two guys names but they were very friendly. The also answered the phone when we needed them as we were stopped by the coast guard for checks.
