Crucial regulations from the Port Police for all boat leasing services
If you violate any of the listed regulations, the Port Police are authorized to issue you a fine. The Port Police reserve the right to halt you for a check at any moment. They will inspect the boat’s safety gear and documentation. It is mandatory to carry an identification document with you on the boat.
- Maintain a slow speed at all times, avoid reaching maximum speed, and refrain from making abrupt, hazardous turns.
- Do not drop anchor within the yellow buoys that mark the swimming zone.
Avoid anchoring in areas where individuals are swimming. Ensure the boat is kept at a safe distance from swimmers.
The boat’s captain is strictly prohibited from consuming alcohol.
On the rare occasion that we must cancel a tour due to severe weather conditions such as strong winds or heavy rain, we always propose rescheduling the tour for an alternate date. If rescheduling is not feasible, we ensure a full refund of the booking fee.
An online reservation is governed by our Terms & Conditions. Full refunds, excluding processing fees, are granted for cancellations made no later than 11 days before the tour date. However, any cancellations made within 10 days of the tour departure are not eligible for a refund.
Our boats (Compass 150cc and Selva D5.3) with engines up to 30hp do not require a license to operate.
However, if you wish to rent our boat Nireas FG600 150hp (with an engine exceeding 30hp), you must possess a valid boat license or you can hire a skipper.
Prior to setting off, you will participate in a comprehensive safety briefing conducted by our team.
We will impart all necessary knowledge to you, ensuring you are fully prepared for your journey.
It’s advisable to secure a boat reservation a minimum of one month in advance, particularly during peak season when options may be scarce.
Absolutely, upon request, we can supply a skilled and certified skipper for an additional cost.
Payment can be made using either a credit card or cash. If you opt to make a reservation online, an immediate deposit via credit card is required. The remaining balance can be settled in person using your preferred payment method.
Preparation
The cost of fuel is not incorporated in the price (refer to the boat tour for an estimate of fuel expenses).
Every unlicensed boat is equipped with a full 48-liter tank. Given that the engines are new and operate on a four-stroke system, they are highly fuel-efficient. The typical fuel consumption is around 50 liters, meaning you have more than enough for a day’s journey. When compared to the older two-stroke engines that used a mix of oil and gasoline, these engines run much more quietly and efficiently.
Beginning with sun safety, each of our boats is outfitted with a bimini top, so sun exposure is not a concern! Additionally, all our boats come with life vests, including specially designed ones for children.
Initially, it’s beneficial to review the most frequent types of damage that happen during the summer season.
The most prevalent and severe damage is the propeller breaking. We haven’t experienced any other significant damages, which is why we’ll provide you with detailed instructions on how to prevent this.
Up to now, we haven’t encountered any serious damages. If you exercise caution and steer clear of shallow waters, we’re confident that you won’t face any issues.
Indeed, if you choose to operate the boat, we require a cash deposit of 500 euros prior to your cruise departure. This security deposit will be refunded to you upon the boat’s return in its original condition.
However, if you opt for a boat trip with a skipper at the helm, no deposit is necessary as clients are not held accountable for any potential damage.

While it’s beneficial for everyone on board to know how to swim, it’s not a requirement. If swimming isn’t one of your skills, we strongly advise wearing the life jackets we provide for your protection throughout the duration of the cruise.
