Boat tours in Agios Nikolaos, Ionian Islands

Boat trips in Agios Nikolaos, Ionian Islands: what to ask

Boat tours in Agios Nikolaos start from a small harbour on the north-west coast of Zakynthos, and the operators listed here all work from the same settlement. Zante Rent Boats runs private trips, with or without a skipper, and its own description points to day outings to Navagio (Shipwreck) beach and the Blue Caves; the boats are described as carrying life jackets, GPS tracking, flares, spare fuel, a spare engine and oars. Fr Yachting offers daily cruises and sailing from the port, led by a captain with more than 25 years in the business, and welcomes wedding proposals on board. Theodosis Cruises, based in the Volimes area, lists both boat rentals and boat tours. Seafinity works as a service-area business rather than from a visitor premises, so arrangements are made directly with the operator.

Trips differ in shape: private charters against shared departures, sailing against motor boats, full days against shorter outings. Ask each operator what a trip includes, where it goes and what happens if the weather turns, rather than assuming one company's arrangements apply to another.
