First time hiring a boat abroad and didn’t know what to expect from these sellers. But we had a very good day hiring the boat from Fotis. Very kind and good explanation from using his boat. Recommend 100%!

Got to marina with no problems - using google maps as suggested by Redon. Its a bit off the beaten track otherwise. We were met by Remy who showed us the boat and ran over the equipment before taking 2 of us on a induction run. Then we picked up remaing 4 and set off. The on-board GPS was not working but Remy set up a shared app so that he knew where we were and we knew as well (need a charged phone). The boat was comfortable and clean and easily took us 6 adults. The 60hp engine was fine. The trip up to the blue caves was easy and we stopped for coffee on the way. Carried on around to the west coast for Shipwreck beach (still closed to landings and swimming) but a bit choppy so stopped in fantastic bay halfway down and had a swim. All in all a great day out and would thoroughly recommend Redon/Remy for this type of outing

Had an amazing day with Captain Thomas’ boat. We didn’t need a skipper as my husband was able to drive the boat, Thomas’ team explained fully how everything works and had a test drive to see how comfortable we felt with the boat. Plenty of space for five people. We were out from 9:30 till around 16:30. Reasonably priced and if we needed to speak to Thomas he replied instantly! The boat was in a great condition and clean. Would recommend 100%

We booked a private boat tour with Thomas in September 2025. First things first: Thomas and the way he handled the tour were very professional and absolutely trustworthy. Of course, we were also concerned, as there are very few reviews, but that's because Thomas opened his own business this year. However, he has years of experience as a skipper and guides us wonderfully through the popular destinations. All in all, an absolute recommendation.

We took a self rental. Raphael gave a superb run through of the boat prior to departure and did not try to overcharge on fuel which I have read is a common occurrence. Would definitely use again

The area were you can sail is small enough to fully explore in one day, and is very beautiful with multiple swimming/snorkeling spots.

We saw Marathonisi (turtle island) as well as the Keri Caves. We went swimming on both places. Amazing view and incredible places to swim. Must see for everyone.

Zakynthos is generally very crowded, including the bays where you can stop...people squeeze into every little gap.
Zakynthos ist allg. Sehr überlaufen somit auch die Buchten in denen man halten kann...es wird sich gequetscht in jede kleinste Lücke.

The area north from Agios Nikolaos is amazing. We ran out of time a bit toward the end because I needed to catch a plane, but it’s great to spend the day.
