Boat rentals in Piraeus

Renting a boat in Piraeus: what to ask

Boat rentals in Piraeus start from a working port, and the operators listed here work out of it in different ways. Spetses Cruising, based in Piraeus, runs private cruises and water limousine transfers, with boats that take up to 8 guests, or up to 6 with luggage, and it arranges bespoke itineraries and activities for special events. Ukiyo Yacht Charters, at Marina Zeas, runs private catamaran cruises around the Greek islands and presents its trips as suitable for families, couples and first-time sailors; its office is open weekdays from 8am to 8pm and closed at weekends.

All Day Cruise, near Pasalimani, operates day cruises to Agistri, Moni and Aegina with a Greek buffet lunch, drinks and swim stops included, and also handles wedding cruises and corporate boat events. Sunsail, also at Marina Zeas, works in boat hire, though the supplied information does not set out its boats or booking arrangements. Whether a boat comes with a skipper or is self-drive, and whether any can be used without a licence, is not stated for these members, so ask each operator directly. Prices, availability and trip details are not published either; request them when you enquire, and compare what is included before booking.
