Renting a boat in Planos: what to ask

Boat rentals in Planos are concentrated around Tsilivi, where several operators run private trips and bareboat or skippered hire along the Zakynthos coast.

Sea Gems Cruises provides motor boat rentals with or without a skipper; its boats come with GPS trackers, canopies, cooler boxes and Bluetooth, and the team advises on where to sail. Luxury Travel Zakynthos LTZ arranges speedboat rentals, private cruises and yacht charters in Zante and the Ionian Islands. The Crown Vip Cruises operates from Limanaki in Tsilivi, running boat trips and boat hire, while BLU Boat Rentals works as a service-area business, arranging rentals directly with customers and noting step-free wheelchair access and wheelchair-accessible parking. Tsilivi Boat Rentals also hires out boats and lists a wheelchair-accessible car park.

Questions to ask

Can I rent a boat in Planos without a licence?

Sunwave Cruises states that it offers boats that can be rented without a licence. Other operators may also have licence-free options, but this is not confirmed in the listings, so ask directly when you enquire.

Do I need to book a skipper or can I drive myself?

Sea Gems Cruises offers rentals with or without a skipper. Sunwave Cruises mentions both no-licence boats and skippered luxury tours. For self-drive, check with each operator what documentation they require and whether a skipper is mandatory for the boat you choose.

What should I ask about prices and what is included?

Prices are not listed here; contact the operator for a quote. Ask what the rate covers (fuel, equipment, skipper), whether there are extra charges, and what the cancellation policy is. Sea Gems Cruises, for example, lists GPS trackers, canopies, cooler boxes and safety equipment on its boats.

Are there boat rentals suitable for people with mobility needs?

BLU Boat Rentals notes step-free wheelchair access at the entrance and wheelchair-accessible parking, and Tsilivi Boat Rentals lists a wheelchair-accessible car park. Access to the boats themselves is not described, so confirm boarding arrangements with the operator before booking.
