    Fantastic boat and great staff. Communication around meeting in the morning could have been better but otherwise it was perfect. Thanks

    What an INCREDIBLE day! Giorgos Is a wonderful guide and skipper - he knows the most perfect landing spots and beaches. He took wonderful care of us and is extremely knowledgeable about the area! I can’t wait to visit again - the boat experience was beyond incredible but Giorgios was the MVP of the day! Thank you for your hospitality!!

    An incredible private boat experience in Crete! This was one of the highlights of our honeymoon! We rented the boat privately for just the two of us, and the entire experience was fantastic from beginning to end. Everything was explained clearly before we left, the boat was in great condition, and we felt completely comfortable heading out on our own. Having the freedom to captain the boat ourselves and explore the coastline at our own pace was such a unique experience. We could stop wherever we wanted, swim in beautiful water, and enjoy places without being tied to a group tour or schedule. It truly felt like we had our own little piece of Crete for the day. Sifis was friendly, helpful and easy to work with, and everything went smoothly. If you’re comfortable operating a boat and want a private, unforgettable way to experience the coast of Crete, we absolutely recommend renting from him. One of those honeymoon memories we’ll be talking about for years! 🇬🇷❤️

Yacht Charter Without License in Crete

Crete is the largest of Greece's many islands and is also the most populated. It is also the 5th largest island in the Mediterranean seas and so it no surprise that it is another hotspot for boat rental. Lay back and let your captain do all the work as they guide you calmly through the waves whilst you enjoy the warm Greek sun. Renting a boat with a captain can sometimes alter the price of your booking. Sometimes a captain is an added extra and sometimes it is included in the initial price. We always recommend talking directly with the boat owners via the Click&Boat platform so that you know exactly what the role of your captain will be and how to best organise your yacht charter without license in Crete, Greece.
