Boat rentals in Sami

Renting a boat in Sami: what to ask

Boat rentals in Sami put you on the water at the head of a deep bay on Kefalonia's east coast, with the island's coastline within easy reach. Four operators are listed here, all based in the town itself. Kefalonia Compass Rent a Boat hires out small motor boats and states that no licence is required, with a private skipper available on request; a staff member gives a 20-minute training session and a test ride before departure and advises on where to stop. Ionian Blue Sailing, on Akti Miaouli, offers yacht charter and sailing. Pirates Rent A Boat rents boats from Sami and is listed as open every day from 9am to 11pm. Ionian Captains Boat Rentals, also on Akti Miaouli, rents out boats and is listed as suitable for LGBTQ+ customers.

What separates these businesses is how you go out: self-drive in a small motor boat, a skippered trip, or a sailing charter. Ask each operator which of these they actually offer, what the boat carries, and what the rate covers, since prices are not published here. If you have no boating licence, confirm the no-licence option directly with the operator rather than assuming it applies to every boat. For a honeymoon or a party on the water, say so when you enquire so the operator can tell you what suits.
