If you fancy playing skipper for the day, why not embark on your own private speedboat cruise? With no licence or experience needed, you can set sail on a three-hour trip around Marathonisi Island – Zante's major nesting ground for loggerhead turtles. You'll be in charge of your own itinerary on this memorable day at sea, exclusively for you and your party.

Really good trip made it enjoyable and took time did not feel rushed

We had a fabulous time. The trip was brilliant.

We had a great experience chartering a boat. Alex was in charge, he was very competent and knowledgeable about the area. We had only just left the beach when we encountered three turtles, which we observed and photographed. Our trip took us round Turtle Island and along the coast to The Blue Caves entering them and looking at the crystal clear waters. We.were also able to take a swim stop too. We spent all morning on the boat and on our return were fortunate to observe another turtle. 🙂

Nice staff, good information, good service, the boat worked well and we had a good experience as a family. But I think the price is to high.

Our rep Alex was amazing! As soon as we arrived he was very helpful in explaining the activities in the area, where the best places to go are and was great at answering our questions and giving any advice we needed. He was also very kind and approachable which made us feel more comfortable and at ease during our stay as we felt we were able to go to him if we needed anything. 10/10 for sure!
