boat hire in Athens · Beneteau — Oceanis Clipper 361 (2010)

I recently had the pleasure of embarking on an unforgettable sailing adventure, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. We rented our boat from Nikos, and Thomas was our exceptional skipper. The experience was nothing short of spectacular! Our group consisted of three guys, and each of us had our own cabin, providing ample space and privacy. The boat was impeccably clean and well-maintained, equipped with all the facilities we could possibly need, including a SUP board and snorkel gear, which added an extra layer of fun to our trip. We had the chance to explore 4-5 different islands, each more beautiful than the last. The itinerary was well-planned and executed, giving us plenty of time to enjoy each destination. The highlight, however, was the outstanding service provided by Nikos and his crew. They were professional, friendly, and attentive to every detail, ensuring our trip was smooth and enjoyable. A special thanks to Thomas, our skipper, who truly made our first sailing experience unforgettable. His expertise, knowledge, and friendly demeanor put us at ease and made the journey even more enjoyable. We felt safe and well-cared for throughout the trip. If you're considering a sailing trip, I can definitely recommend Nikos and his team. This was a top-notch experience from start to finish, and I can't wait for the next adventure!

Amazin, the best decision is to spend a day with Captain Christos and his boat. So nice and safe and on time.

Description says Dingy (and motor for dingy) included in price. There was no dingy, we had to swim a ways to get to any beach we wanted to visit. I paid extra for a sea scooter for snorkeling (kids were soooo excited) & I wasn't informed until we boarded that it wasn't available. He didn't charge me for it, but some communication would have been nice. We've sailed with other companies in the past and had a great experience. I don't think I'd trust going this route again.

All perfect!

We chose to spend a day in Athens taking a private boat tour with Nikos! The knowledge and experience was very evident and we really enjoyed our time. The water is crystal clear, refreshing, and beautiful for snorkeling!! The whole experience was so easy and wonderful to relax for a few hours in the middle of a very busy vacation. Nikos is very knowledgeable and can provide excellent recommendations for your time in Athens as well. The boat itself is also gorgeous and I would definitely recommend booking this unique boat experience while in Athens!

Nikos and his brother were the best!!! We had a super day. We asked them to decide what would be te best to do since it was very windy. They made a plan and it was perfect! Thanks guys 🙌🙌

It was such a nice experience, we enjoyed every second of it.

An amazing experience with excellent communication. We chartered the boat for a 3-day trip. Although we weren't very lucky with the weather, we still had a fantastic time and adventure with our skipper, George - amazing professional, human and now just our friend in Greece. Nikos, the owner, is also wonderful and was always available to answer any questions we had before the trip. Everything was smooth and perfectly organized. A few details to note for the future: the boat isn't brand new but is in great condition, there is a lack of working USB ports, and no 220/110 ports . Nonetheless, the overall experience was outstanding. Totally recommended.

If you are looking for the best Greek sailing trip , look nowhere else! Nikos and his team will make sure you have the time of your life. The services they provided exceeded our expectations! First of all, the communication with Nikos was excellent even before we book with them. He was 24/7 available and patient enough to answer any questions we had and dealt with all the logistics in a very efficient way. He took care of every little detail! We spent 4 days sailing in the Saronic gulf and it was the most joyful sailing trip we ever had. The boat was fully equipped, clean and very comfortable. We didn't encounter any issues. Stelios and Christos (skippers) were friendly and experienced and they made us feel safe from the very first moment. They were easy going to talk and always willing to do tour guide talks about the places we visited while also being discreet and let us enjoy our time. They are all experienced sailers, have been doing this job for many years with ‘meraki’ ( = doing something with a sense of care and pride). We literally felt the greek whole-hearty hospitality at its finest! Last but not least, after the sailing trip Christos and his son were kind enough and took us to their family tavern to have lunch and say goodbye! If you are staying more days in Athens make sure you visit their Tavern in Agios Dimitrios - another greek fusion food experience we will never forget! We will 100% recommend their services and we will choose them again on our next trip to Greece! Euxaristw!

Highly recommend this boat and wonderful skipper Nikos and his father. We had a wonderful day on the sea with their excellent suggestions for swimming spots. It was a really relaxed and excellent day - nothing was too much trouble for Nikos and communication before the trip was excellent. The boat is perfect- well maintained and clean with ample refrigeration for beverages and food. Niko also supplied towels which was really great too. Highly recommend this operator- wonderful experience.

If you're coming to Athens and want to spend a day on a boat, do yourself a favor and call Nikos. My family of 6 plus a 1 year old scheduled a full day with Nikos and crew and they showed us a most wonderful and outstanding time in the Aegean Sea. They brought us to the most amazing swimming spot and even offered to show us more locations(unfortunately the 1 year old made us turn in early for the day with nonstop crying, but the crew were so accommodating and wonderful and supportive of him). Nikos also gave us many, many recommendations for food, drinks, & dessert in the area and each of his choices we went to were outstanding. If I find myself or my family back in Athens in the future, I will make sure to reach back out to Nikos to schedule another wonderful day on the seas

We had an amazing day on the boat! We were so grateful to book just the night before. NIKOS was great with communication and very flexible with allowing us to change the time of the boat. Onboard he and Chris made us incredibly comfortable. They even allowed us to bring my two small dogs, and cared for them when we went swimming! When some swimmers had a hard time they didn’t hesitate to jump in and calmly tow them back to the boat. We had a great tour of the coast and had a sunset swim to a gorgeous beach bar. My friends said it was by far their best day in Greece. I cannot recommend them highly enough! Thank you for everything.

Great crew and boat took us to wonderful places we had so much fun

Brilliant day out. Nikos went above and beyond to make our experience memorable and to help us with any queries we had. The boat was perfect. Highly recommend Nikos

Amazing sailing trip ! The owner and tour skipper were very polite and knowledgeable and they planned all details to make sure we had the best experience ever ! I totally recommend them for a day trip or even longer.

Our stay fully met our expectations, especially thanks to Giorgios our skipper who accompanied us and took us where we wanted to go while making suggestions, he integrated very well into our family life, it was very pleasant. Nikos also managed the logistics and communication well and the boat was very good for us. Only the wifi did not work. A superb experience to repeat!

We booked a one-day excursion to Aegina for a bachelorette party of 8 people. The guys were excellent in organization and communication, the skipper incredibly helpful, discreet and kind. Very good choice!

On Nikos' boat we had a wonderful 4-day adventure. We traveled as a big family with 4 adults and three teenagers. Despite our lack of experience, we wanted to sail to the Cyclades. On the first day we experienced wind and waves (3-4Bft) and learned about seasickness. After an overnight stay on the water off Cape Sounio on the second day, everyone felt like experienced sailors) We sailed around the island of Kitnos and Kea. We discovered wild beaches and views of exceptional beauty that cannot be seen from land. We experienced many water sports activities Special thanks to our skipper Georgius who was there to give us advice, was always ready to answer any of our questions, taught us how to anchor and hoist the sail. Thank you very much and see you next time.

Everything was great and the boat fantastic. Although the weather wasn't ideal, the skipper was very accommodating and accommodating, making our trip enjoyable. Very friendly atmosphere, with a positive attitude for additional destinations, even if it led to exceeding the "standard hours". We will definitely prefer it again.

We were a group of 5 friends and we spent a wonderful day aboard Nikos’ boat! This experience was everything one could hope for from a private excursion! We recommend 1000% :) Thank you for this great day!

Great day with Nikos and his father for the bachelorette party of one of us! We were a group of 6 girls and we had a blast! The boat is great! Nikos and his father are adorable and caring! They welcomed us with breakfast and a bottle of champagne! Then, despite the bad weather, Nikos adapted the itinerary so that we still had a great day! Thank you for everything, we will be back!

The service was impeccable, beyond all expectations! The guys on the sailboat very kindly Vassiki and he gave us an unforgettable day! I highly recommend it, at the first opportunity we will definitely do it again!

Attention Always check the wind conditions before setting sail. We had the worst time of our lives on the way back to Athens 3 hours of fear the boat was shaken like a bottle I think the rental companies could have told us.

Nikos has treated us very well. He has responded quickly to all our queries and, most importantly, he has solved any problem that has arisen. Fantastic to deal with. The boat would need a little maintenance, especially the motor of the inflatable boat, but we have been able to make our journey without problem. Our captain has taken us through some wonderful places on the islands near Athens

We took a day trip to Aegina - everything was perfect, just as we had dreamed it would be! The boat is perfect, comfortable, clean! The route and the beaches carefully selected! But above all, Skipper Christos, he was excellent, attentive, kind, and although very knowledgeable about his subject, we felt 100% safe and enjoyable at every moment - I highly recommend it!

Everything was wonderful, the communication very direct, flexibility in the schedule, willingness and good mood, the sailboat very beautiful, with many facilities! Would definitely recommend, thanks for everything!
