Boat rentals in Lakka, Ionian Islands

Renting a boat in Lakka, Ionian Islands: what to ask

Boat rentals in Lakka are run by a small group of local operators working out of the port and the surrounding area on Paxos. Vaggelis - Boat Rental in Paxos is based at the port of Lakka and is listed as welcoming LGBTQ+ customers, with the business open around the clock every day. Pappas Boats & Cruises works from Lakka as a service-area business and offers both boat rental and boat tours, so you can take a boat out yourself or join an organised trip. Fasoulias Boat Rent also operates from Lakka on a service-area basis and keeps regular daily hours, 9AM to 1PM and 6PM to 12AM, every day of the week.

What each operator actually has on the water is not set out in the listings, so the practical questions are worth asking before you book. Ask whether a boat comes with a skipper or crew or is self-drive, and if self-drive, what documentation the operator requires from you. If you want a RIB, a boat for a party or a trip for a honeymoon, say so when you call and confirm what is available for your dates. Prices are best requested directly, along with what is included and how booking and handover work at the port.
