boat hire in Paros · Compass — 160e (2024)

The boat itself was amazing. The island was beautiful. The only reason I give this 9/10, is because the employee responsible in explaining everything to us was a F**ka**. He told me the boat fuel was full, it wasn’t. He forgot to give us a map, until I asked him and he goes “oh I forget, but you have iPhone”. He was rushing and was not good. Our trip itself was amazing until the engine died on the way back, causing us to be stranded on the water in the tourna inlet. The current pushed us within minutes into the rocks and the boat crashed. Luckily I got my wife in a life vest. Vested out book bag, and jumped off the boat and pulled the rope onto the small area after we tried to anchor down before hitting the rocks but the line snapped. Within 20 minutes the owner and his family came and towed us out with his yacht, he jumped in the water with his wife and worked his a** off to ensure our safety. Upon getting us to safety he / captain mentioned the gas was finished that’s why the engine chocked. However I found the gas tank and the spare gas filled it and pumped the motor, it still didn’t start. It would start then die right away. After he came on board he started it about 10/12 times and it finally turned on and got us back to shore safely. Upon reaching back, captain asked me To detail what happened to translate to the owner. Then after he explained the gas was finished, the employee who set us up was at fault and he proceeded to yell at the employee. To be honest, we did take the boat insurance but being in a foreign country, I expected him to charge me , but he didn’t. He felt terrible , and also explained we weren’t supposed to go to that beach area, however I explained to him We specifically asked the employee if we could visit blue lagoon and the inlets and the employee stated “do it on the way back after 4pm it’s too busy there now and a lot of parasailers” only for the owner and captain to tell me we weren’t supposed to go that route. All in all, we’re glad we’re safe, we’re happy the owner/his wife, and his captain, rushed out there, acknowledging the issue , ensuring our safety and not charging us anything. Even offered a refund ( the captain ). If this was any other country they would’ve held us in contempt and made us pay thousands. So thank you the the owner and amazing person, his family, and captain. Would I rent again after this experience from him - absolutely, because they care. Very rare to find in a company or people.

Great boat for the 4 people we had. A lot to see and a great map of places to go and places to avoid. Would recommend.

What an unforgettable experience, what a great team & super helpful! The vessel was absolutely world-class – spacious, smooth and perfect for exploring Paros by sea. We cruised to breathtaking spots and soaked in some of the most beautiful sights we’ve ever seen. Service was exceptional from start to finish – highly recommend! If you are coming to Paris THIS IS A MUST!

Zisis and team was great, they were friendly and arranged a bottle of champagne, hidden in the boat, as a surprise as I proposed to my fionce. They made the moment even more special. We got stuck and were quick to offer advice on how to quickly get going again. Would recommend to anyone!

Boat was clean, in great shape, easy to use and let us get to some really cool spots on the island. I would recommend!

Perfect, everything we needed for a fun day boating.

It was a very nice day and the boat was perfect.
