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.

So glad we rented from them! They were so professional, explained everything about the boat that we needed to know and even told us some spots to go to on the other islands. They made the whole process easy and smooth

We had a really great experience! The price was the best we found on the island, and all the instructions were very clear and easy to follow. Captain Thomas guided us perfectly and was extremely friendly, helpful, and always happy to give us advice. He recommended beautiful beaches to visit, as well as great places to eat and things to do around the island. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and we would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to explore the island by boat!

We had such a fantastic day with George exploring Paxos, Antipaxos and the beautiful coastline around Corfu. George was an amazing captain! Professional, incredibly kind and friendly, and clearly very experienced. From the moment we set off, we knew our family was in very good hands. His local knowledge made the day particularly special, taking us off the beaten path to gorgeous bays and quiet, tourist-free swimming spots we never would have discovered ourselves. We had so much fun exploring and swimming throughout the day. We capped it all off with the most picturesque local lunch back on Corfu, sitting right on the bay and enjoying incredibly fresh local snapper and seafood. It was the perfect ending to a beautiful day. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend George and Jonny’s Boats. We hope to be back on board with him for another adventure soon! Highly recommend.

"Manolis and his team are ready for you. It was a pleasant introduction and a super fun experience on the boat. You first receive a clear explanation and then you are free to go sailing. We recommend renting from Sams boat to everyone. And definitely a boat from Manolis."
