    Top-notch rental company. We wanted to rent a boat at short notice without any problems and made the perfect choice with the rental company. Communication was quick and friendly. The boat briefing, in particular, was very detailed and well-done. The boat itself was clean and had everything you need. The price for the fuel was also fair. Overall, we highly recommend the rental company!

    Everything was absolutely fine. Something that I'd like to add if you rent a boat, and not only from Damulis, is that they can't dock/anchor the boat to close to the beach at Balos, because of the law, so if you're like me, with camera equipment and a drone, you ain't got a choice but to fly it from the boat, so you can't enjoy the actual beach. If you want to enjoy the beach, just book a trip with the commercial ships. *There is a dock at Gramvousa though. I can't say anything about our captain, Lefteris (I hope I didn't wrote it wrong). A well mannered greek lad, with good knowledge about the area, that even showed us some "hidden" spots along the way. I can't recommend him enough.

    Gorgeous day of boating in Crete courtesy of Notos Mare Marine Adventures. Rented through them this gorgeous self drive 8.5 metre RIB with a self trimming 250 hp outboard engine out of Kolymvari marina; very satisfied and highly recommended!👍🏻👍🏻

    Although I didn't meet Damulis personally, communication was flawless! The crew at Notos Mare was very friendly. Unfortunately, the office at the port of Kissamos isn't shown on Google Maps. But if you walk towards the marina, you'll find it ? The briefing was short and sweet. The boat was great for me as a beginner, it was really fun, there were no difficulties at all. We had a great time on the island of Gramvousa. Many thanks to Notos Mare!
