It was everything you could ask from a self driving boat rental. They had a Google my maps with destinations, had people help us dock so we have lunch by a restaurant, gave us cooler and snorkels. So overall all good!

Perfect afternoon ride for 4 persons. Unconditionally recommended. We would definitely rent it again! Toilet & shower head (fresh water): Very handy after a swim. Manual anchor. Cooling box (heavily used). 2 USB-A charging outlets. Fuel: 4 hours net motor usage for 50 nm needed 55 l. We were mostly going at cruising speed of ca. 3.200 rpm (15-17 kn) and at 8-9 kn für 1.5 hours due to 1.0-1.5m waves — which she took really well. You pay the consumed fuel (tracked automatically) after the trip at a very fair rate (€ 2.20/l). Tidy cockpit with a single Simrad screen. We mostly used 2 of 9 views: motor control and navigation chart. They used the Boat Angel app to track you in case of emergencies. It features locations for anchoring and picture stops. We also used a navigation chart (Imray G37) and app (Navionics) for planning and more nautical details. Interactions with the team: Very quick and flawless! Tip: Bring a car phone dash mount for your phone if you plan using it.

Amazing, all of the staff were super lovely and helpful. We felt super safe on the trip and they explained everything really well and clearly. We could call them if we needed to throughout the trip but did not need to but it was reassuring. Overall amazing experience and would go again.

The boat was immaculate and absolutely beautiful. The owners were exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and helpful in every respect. The briefing and introduction were clear and thorough, making everything easy and stress-free. Overall, it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Outstanding value for money – we couldn’t have asked for more.

Athina and the entire staff was very kind and helpful. They focused on our satisfaction, not to worry about anything just enjoy the day on the sea. They told us no need to rush if we enjoy we can stay longer for free. The boat (Greco Marine) was in good condition and comfortable for 5 of us. We had a perfect day on the sea. Thank you Athina and staff!

It was a great experience. Athina and her crew were very helpful and provided full training before the trip as well as some nice recommendations for places to park the boat and enjoy the sea and some snorkeling. Definitely an experience worth taking!

The area might be intimidating at first due to the high and rocky coastline, but there is nothing to be scared of. There are lots of nice places where you can enjoy the view and the water. Athina will tell you all the good places.

Run by a nice family business. The boat was good and big. If it’s windy you can stay more in the bay. There’s a military harbour and you can see aircraft carriers in the morning. The water has a nice colour.
