Boat rentals in Fira

Renting a boat in Fira: what to ask

Boat rentals in Fira work from a town perched above the caldera, so most operators here start their trips from the old port below or from nearby marinas. The businesses listed on this page are cruise offices and boat rental agencies based in Fira itself, and several run private trips rather than fixed group departures. ALEX Private Boat Rental, at the old port, describes its service as a fully customised private boat tour and asks customers to get in touch to plan the cruise. Nomikos Yachting Santorini, a cruise office in Fira, offers boat and yacht rental and sailing trips along the caldera, with visits to the hot springs, Thirasia, the volcano, Red Beach and White Beach, plus catamaran cruises. Santorini Exclusive Sailing Odysseas Sailing Yacht runs sailing tours of five or more hours in the Caldera gulf and along the coast. Santorini 24hr Private Tours & Cruises on Marinatou Street arranges private trips by boat, and Caldera Yachting Santorini on 25is Martiou handles boat rentals and tours.

Ask each operator whether the boat comes with a captain or crew, whether any boat can be used without a licence, and what type of vessel is used. Prices are not published here, so request a quote for your dates and group size.
