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.

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!

We loved it - Alex our Captain was fab

Although the boat tour was organised through TUI, we had to organise our own taxi there and back. This could have been organised for us including an indication of price when we booked.

We hired a private boat with a skipper who's name was Panagiotis. We had the most wonderful experience. We were taken to see the turtles at a respectful distance, we stopped on turtle island to see the nesting grounds, we swam in the most beautiful turquoise waters and swam through caves to find hidden beaches. We even went off track to check out some of the impressive yachts nearby. Panagiotis absolutely made this experience for us and was worth every penny.

Excellent company, excellent captain, hhighly recommend Mistral
