Boat rentals in Thessaloniki

Renting a boat in Thessaloniki: what to ask

Boat rentals in Thessaloniki are handled by a small group of operators working out of the city, most of them on or near the waterfront, and the choice comes down to what kind of boat and crew you want. Diamond Yachting, on Leof. Nikis, arranges charters of sailing boats, catamarans, super yachts, motor boats and RIBs, with or without a captain, and takes bookings through its online platform. Sailing Thessaloniki by Flying Sailship is listed at Marina Aretsou and runs skippered day sails and sailing holidays, mainly around Halkidiki and the Sporades, with private charters for groups of up to 9 people.

Others take a different angle. BoatGreece.com, on Skiathou Street, describes itself as family-run with 17+ years of local experience and offers a hand-picked fleet of yachts and catamarans, quoting per enquiry. Nautilia Yachting organises yacht charters, management and sales, and states that it is licensed by the Greek National Tourism Organisation. Aquatrotters, on Politechniou street, puts together bespoke luxury vacations and also takes on corporate and MICE events. Boats, routes and prices are not published for every operator, so it is worth asking each one directly about the vessel, the crew and what the quote covers before you book.
