    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! 🇬🇷❤️

    Very good service, this was like our 4th boat booking in greece and the service was outstanding, better than any previous boat bookings. Hosts provided detailed instructions, a plan for a whole area and they were available throughout our whole trip, recommending and booking a restaurant for us to have lunch. If you are looking for a boat hire in the area I highly recommend this.

With so many yacht charters to choose from in Crete, Greece, you are sure to find an option suitable for you, even without a boat license. Depending on the size and type of the boat, you may not require a license to drive it - you should always check this with the boat owner via the Click&Boat platform's messaging system.

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.
