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!
