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.

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.

No one was around opposite DASH cafe at 9am as instructed. I had to contact TUI at 920am to find out what was going on. Kris then appeared around 5-10 mins later and instructed us to wait in his office which is the office down from the cafe called Kefalonia Private Rental/Sightseeing. Kris was very knowledgeable providing us a detailed map and instructions. We didn’t get on the boat under after 10am which was disappointing as we had an early start to get there however the day was lovely.

We had a fabulous day out. Kris gave excellent advice and was really thorough. He gave us excellent advice about routes and where to visit. We spent time at White Rocks, the island, XI and then saw giant turtles near the fisheries. We were provided with a cool box which kept drinks and snacks cool. I’d highly recommend. We’ve done many boat days on Greek Islands but this was definitely the most impressive.
