Renting a boat in Hydra: what to ask

Boat rentals in Hydra are run by a handful of local operators working from the island and its small harbours. Hydra Charters - Private Boat Cruises in Hydra offers fully crewed private charters, with half-day, full-day and sunset options tailored to each group. Mera Mare Boat Rentals in Gkiossi provides skippered trips and has been used for private transfers; a customer review notes a well-equipped boat and a punctual, professional skipper. Hydra Exclusive Ribs in Kamini rents RIB (inflatable) boats and is listed as open 24 hours every day. SeaStar Boat Rentals ~ Hydra, open 8:00 to 19:00 daily, says it monitors weather and will reschedule or refund in case of bad weather, and that rentals can be extended by phone subject to availability.

Questions to ask

Do I need a licence to rent a boat in Hydra?

Licence rules depend on the boat and the operator. None of the listed businesses states a licence-free option, so ask each one directly whether a licence is required for the boat you want and what documentation you must bring.

Can I book a boat with a skipper or crew?

Some operators state crewed or skippered service: Hydra Charters offers fully crewed private charters, and Mera Mare Boat Rentals provides skippered trips. For others, ask whether a skipper is included or available.

What happens if the weather is bad on my rental day?

SeaStar Boat Rentals ~ Hydra says it monitors weather conditions and will work with you to reschedule or provide a full refund in case of bad weather. For other operators, confirm their bad-weather policy when booking.

Are RIB boats available, and can I use a boat for a party or honeymoon?

Hydra Exclusive Ribs rents RIB (inflatable) boats. Party use and honeymoon trips are not stated by the listed members, so ask the operator you choose whether these are possible and what they involve.
