Rent a boat in Heraklion with a skipper!

Unless you’re an experienced sailor, we typically recommend hiring a vessel with a skipper. Skippers are experts in sailing and they handle all of the logistics, so you don’t have to worry about a thing. The best part is that they are usually locals who can show you all of the hidden gems in Heraklion and surrounding areas, and give you tips to make sure your Heraklion boat trip is the best one possible!

What type of boat is best for a Heraklion yacht charter?

Want to rent a boat in Heraklion but unsure of which type of boat to choose? The answer will depend on what type of holiday you’re looking to have. If you’ve only got a few days to spare we’d recommend hiring a motorboat or a RIB as they are typically hired by the day and they are faster than other vessels, helping you see everything in no time. For a longer holiday with family or friends, choose a vessel you can hire by the week like a yacht or a catamaran. If you’re looking for something a bit more luxurious, a gulet is a great choice and if you’re an avid sailor, a sailboat. No matter what you’re looking for, Click&Boat has got what you need for your Heraklion boat trip!
