Boat rental in Zakynthos · Ranieri — Blue Water (2023)

Extremely professional service and excellent service. Certainly would recommend them. Krzysztof

After we called Xristos he gave us a warm welcome. He explained us everything in detail on the water and showed us where we could go. During our boat trip we had a great time, the island is very pretty! When we got back a friend of Xristos welcomed us back and asked us if we saw any turtles. When we said no, he took over the boat and searched for one he saw earlier that day. We saw the turtle twice and he told us about the turtles. Over all a great experience and would book a boat again at Xristos!

The introduction at the beginning was very informative and well done. You could really tell that the guide was passionate and motivated, he clearly enjoys his job and does it very well. We had a great tour and spent a wonderful day out on the sea. Everything was well organized and we truly had a beautiful time on the boat. What stood out the most was the guide’s commitment. Since we did not spot any turtles during the tour, he took us out again after we had already returned, just so we could see some turtles up close. That was incredibly kind and made the experience even more special. If you are planning to do a boat trip in Zakynthos, this is definitely the right place to go. Highly recommended

A Truly Beautiful Boating Experience! This wasn't my first time renting a boat, and when I tell you it was a beautiful experience, I truly mean it. Denis, our instructor, was incredibly precise and explained all the boat rules and what to do on board exceptionally well. He also gave us great tips on what to see. In the end, since we didn't manage to spot any turtles during our rental, he personally took us out beyond our scheduled time. And that's where we found them! The kids were absolutely thrilled, and so was I. The boat itself was perfectly maintained and came with all the necessary gadgets like snorkeling masks, extra fuel if needed, and life vests. What more could we ask for? It was a really positive experience for my entire family, including my two children aged 10 and 11. Best regards, Cristian Clemente

We really enjoyed our day on the boat, it was well organized and we sailed nicely. Very friendly people!!!

We had a great experience with the boat rental today! The communication from the owner beforehand was excellent—very clear and helpful. As beginners, we really appreciated the easy-to-follow instructions on how to use the boat. He also gave us great recommendations on where to go, which made the day even better. Overall, it was great value for money and a smooth, enjoyable experience. Highly recommend!

Review: 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an absolutely amazing day with the rented motorboat! Everything went smoothly from start to finish. The boat was in excellent condition – clean, well-maintained, and fully equipped. You can really tell that safety and quality are a top priority here. A special thanks to the owner for the warm and professional service. The briefing was detailed and easy to follow, and all our questions were answered patiently. We felt well taken care of from the very beginning. The time on the water was a true highlight – beautiful scenery, a smooth ride, and total freedom to explore. We would definitely rent here again and can fully recommend this boat rental to anyone looking for a great experience. Thank you for also an unforgettable day!

We had a really nice trip on Xristos boat and he gave us all the information we needed!

Great hospitality and experience!

We had a great day out visiting all the sites, I would highly recommend, Xristos is really friendly and welcoming, thank you again

Overall a good boat, however since there was no sundeck it was not that comfortable. He was telling we had an “upgraded” boat, he is a smooth talker. But if you want more comfort and a place to lay down in the sun this is not the boat for you. The pictures in this advertisement are not accurate, it is not the boat you rent.

Great boat with a very nice owner, gives good explanations and is extremely friendly. Definitely recommended and worth repeating

Thank you Xristos !

Boot is top, Xristos is top. Communicatie was soepel en snel

Great experience

Professional, polite, very responsive and supportive, made me and my wife feel at ease hiring the boat and we would not hesitate to anyone looking, definitely the best in zante! Thanks!

I was a little bit disappointed that we could not go further than Myzithres. We started in the harbor Agios Sostis. The rest was perfect.

brilliant services xristos was super helpful and we had enjoyable day on the boat .

Anytime again

xristos was direct and made sure we were safe throughout our trip, he taught us how to drive the boat, where to go, where to swim etc. i recommend him!

I recently rented a boat from Xristos, and it was an unforgettable experience! He was incredibly helpful and professional, providing clear instructions and ensuring that we felt confident before setting out. The boat itself was clean, well-maintained, and had all the necessary safety equipment, which gave us peace of mind. The process of renting was smooth and hassle-free, and we were able to explore some breathtaking spots on the water. The scenery was stunning, and the overall experience was just perfect for a day of relaxation and adventure.

We had an amazing time in Zakynthos and the boat was one of the highlights! Our original plan was rescheduled as Xristos advised us to postpone due to windy weather. I was hesitant at first because upon checking the weather update on my iphone, it doesnt say its windy… and voila! the weather changed and its actually windy! Xristos was actually right. i really thought we were scammed but he maintained good communication and constant update which gave me reassurance. He taught us how to operate the boat very clear and you can say he’s been doing it for a while and is an expert. Just a tip, if you’re going to rent for a whole day, just bring your own water and a bit of food. And a speaker if you want some music! I would love to come back!

absolutely amazing guy , helped to Surprise my wife by buying Cake for me , 5 stars for the boat as well

Xristos is just the best! Very good communication, very friendly & a perfect boat as well! I can only highly recommend him!

The owner was very nice and friendly, he explained everything very well and we had an amazing time. We could not choose any better. Everything was fantastic!

Boat ok, 6 persona not confortable, grate preparation and service, thank you Xristos

Professional boat rental. Excellent communication, everything without problems.

Good communication, professional owner, resolved our requests. Highly recommend to anyone renting a boat without captain.

Amazing Day on the Water with Xristos’ Boat! The boat was in excellent condition, clean, and equipped with everything we needed for a perfect day out on the water. Xristos made the whole rental process super easy and was incredibly helpful. He took the time to explain everything we needed to know, making sure we felt confident and comfortable before heading out. I highly recommend renting from Xristos if you’re looking for a smooth, enjoyable experience on the water.

We had a great day on Xristos’ boat! He was very welcoming and explained how to drive the boat well. We were left to it after that and had a fab day - would highly recommend and would use again!

Xristos was really kind and professional, I recomend his service!

Good boat, perfect service and warm welcome! We spotted 4 turtles and the Area is nice. The Boat is easy to handle and the communication with Xristos is perfect👌🏼

Xristos was extremely professional, kind and helpful. He gave very clear instructions on safety and regarding the boat prior to our journey. All in all, a great experience and we would recommend anyone to book a boat with Xristos - 10/10 experience.

I had the best day ever! The owner was very nice and the boat was perfect. Highly recommended!!!!

We rented the boat from Xristos, and on that day, he offered us an upgrade, which was quite awesome. Overall, our experience with booking and communicating with Xavier was very pleasant, and his explanation about the boat and the area was helpful. The boat worked well, and we had a great time. P.S. Not related to the boat itself, but don't forget to check if there are a lot of rocks at the bottom before putting down the anchor. It seems to be a common mistake among renters in this area (including us xD).

Everything was perfect! Very reliable and a great introduction to the boat! We would book a boat with this company again at any time.

It was all great!! Xristos is an excellent guy and his instructions for our trip and knowledge of the island made our experience unique!

We had an excellent experience with the boat hiring accommodation. The service was top-notch from start to finish. The boat was in pristine condition, well-equipped, and ready for our adventure. Special mention to Xristos – he was incredibly helpful and friendly. He ensured we understood all safety protocols and gave us a thorough orientation on the boat’s features.

Great experience! The communication with the host was great, we were instructed well and felt well looked after. We even got a boat upgrade because it was available that day. Amazing!

The best service we have ever received. The owner is very patient, kind and caring. The boat is in perfect condition. He is available throughout the day to answer questions and help if needed. I highly recommend.

Everything was great! Thank you so much!

It was an all-around spectacular experience. Xristos welcomed us very warmly, and since none of us had any previous boating experience, he took the time to explain everything to us in great detail. It was a challenging day, but we felt at ease the whole time, as the boat was equipped with a GPS tracker, allowing Xristos to track our exact location at sea. With a little more practice, I would do it again anytime!

We had a wonderful afternoon sailing. We were able to see everything. Xristos was very helpful. He communicated well via email and WhatsApp. We also got an upgrade, a beautiful boat. He joined us for a short while to explain everything. Upon our return, he was waiting for us to put the boat back in the right place. Highly recommended. Thanks for this wonderful experience. Dennis and Jolanda

It was an incredible experience. We're very grateful to Xristo for his treatment, advice, and trust. We'll definitely come back and repeat.

It's a beautiful boat, complete with a good cool box and music system. The service and communication were excellent; we received helpful assistance and good explanations about the boat. Regards, The Butterflies

All in all, just as you would wish.

We had a great time!

Everything was very professional, and Xristos was very helpful. Everything was explained to us in detail. We would book again.

A complete disaster. The boat was probably thirty years old and dirty. None of the gauges worked. The engine barely ran, and the throttle and gear levers were terribly sluggish. The anchor was mounted on a thin line, which ultimately broke. The only positives were the beautiful views and friendly people, but the equipment was terrible. I was so dissatisfied that I canceled the second day of the rental! I don't know who's writing these glowing reviews; I think it's the owner's fault...

We can't give more than 5 stars, because everything was excellent: good communication, a friendly welcome, and a good explanation of the boat and sailing. The return trip was also excellent; they took their time and were super friendly. The boat is in top condition, there's a cooler on board, and music via Bluetooth. Absolutely fantastic! Highly recommended!

Owner kind and available for everything, boat excellent conditions. Top experience

Xristos explained to us very well where we could go with the boat and the necessary warnings. Everything was very clear, he is super friendly and professional. I will definitely book again! We were lucky enough to get an upgrade, and a great recommendation for the restaurant for the evening. Book without hesitation!

Everything went perfectly! We were absolutely thrilled with the boat and the fantastic introduction to how to drive it and where we were allowed to go! We were even shown the turtles on the way back. We can definitely recommend Xristos! We'll be back next year! Thank you so much!

A wonderful experience! The owner gave us a warm welcome, explaining the itinerary, the must-see coves, and the pitfalls to avoid. The boat was very well maintained and very clean. On return, we paid for the fuel in cash. Expect to pay €40 for 20 liters of gas per day.

We had a very nice experience. The contact with Xristos went very well. He clearly indicated where exactly we had to be. He explained a lot: how the boat works, how to sail along the most beautiful places, etc.. we would recommend it to everyone!

Had a great experience on the boat! Xristos is a very friendly man. We kept in touch during the boat trip, which gave us a safe feeling when something unpleasant would happen. Explanation about the use of the boat was clear. The only thing we missed was the refrigerator on board, which was indicated on the website. Furthermore, we had a nice day at sea and saw beautiful things.

The contact was very good and knew on time where we had to be. The reception was very friendly and Xristos is very friendly and helped us well. Really a top experience!

Incredibly friendly owner! Spotless boat!

It was a wonderful trip with great and helpful instructions. Xristos is very friendly and gave us valuable tips for an unforgettable day. Thank you for this great experience! We'd be happy to do it again :)

Very friendly and easily accessible landlord. We received clear explanations and the service was excellent. When we returned early due to bad weather, the landlord actively thought along and came up with a suitable solution. A thoughtful and customer-oriented approach, absolutely recommended.

What a great experience! Clear explanation of the boat. Nice owner. And also got one upgrade and a bigger boat. Life jacket for baby included. Thanks! I would recommend it to everyone:)

Xristos is simply the best. We spontaneously decided to rent a boat - in the absolute off-season. We contacted Xristos the evening before the planned tour and he made it possible. We had a wonderful day on the boat. Also because Xristos was super friendly and gave us detailed training on how to use the boat and showed us exactly where we could and couldn't go. Ευχαριστώ, Xristos :) We can't thank you enough!

Communication with Xristos went well, was immediately reachable and responds quickly. A clear explanation is given so that you can set off with a confident feeling. Definitely worth it because there are such beautiful places to see via the water. Even spotted a turtle twice!

excellent and reliable landlord responds immediately to questions on WhatsApp provides sufficient explanation about the boat and what is and is not allowed where to sail had a perfect day in short a topper "

Very friendly landlord, easy to deal with and a great boat. After a short briefing, we were able to explore the island. Great value for money! I can definitely recommend it!

Friendly landlord, easy transaction and a great boat. Great value for money!

We had a very nice day on the boat from Xristos! ☀️ After a comprehensive briefing, we set off towards Pisines Beach with a stop at many beautiful bays and small caves. The boat sat great on the water and was even much bigger than we thought! All in all, our day couldn't have been better. Thank you, Xristos! ☀️?

Nice staff and everything well arranged. Had a great day!

Excellent services!!

Nice boats and had a great day!

Positive! Me and my partner both didn't have much experience with a boat. We received good and clear help, which made us have a very nice day!

The contact with Xristos was great! The boat exactly as described, clear explanation and good tips! Xristos himself took us to look for turtles. Recommended!!!

We had a great day with the boat and the rental! Xristos was always available, helped us with everything, explained everything calmly, gave us an upgrade and even showed us turtles? Everything was perfect! I would recommend it at any time!

Perfect

Fantastic experience! Had a wonderful day. Everything went well, from booking to the petrol settlement at the end. Xristos was very friendly and gave very good explanations so that we could start our trip prepared and confident. Recommended!!!!

Upon arrival we received an upgrade because a better boat was not rented, we were allowed to use it all day. Good communication and good explanation so that we could go out all day. We really had a great day. Also well supervised upon return. Would highly recommend this boat!

Received super good service from Xristos. Beautiful boat, received good explanation and even a free upgrade. Highly recommended!
