Boat trips in Kalamata: what to ask

Boat tours in Kalamata leave from the town's central port, with several operators running private and shared trips along the Messenian Gulf and the southern Peloponnese coast. Messinia Yachts, based on Posidonos, runs guided day cruises from Kalamata, Pylos and Kardamyli using sailing catamarans, motor boats and sailing boats, and lists private trips among its options. Alegria Sailing Catamaran operates the Fountaine Pajot Saona 47 catamaran of the same name from the marina, describing its outings as private boutique cruises focused on the landscapes, castles, gorges and caves of the southern Peloponnese. IGOR Daily Cruises offers private cruises on a high-speed catamaran, and notes that the captain may adjust the route in bad weather or unforeseen events, with departure and arrival times possibly shifting by up to two hours for safety. Nautic Holics, on Navarinou, organises boat trips in the Messenian Gulf with or without a captain and also arranges events on the water.

Trips range from day cruises to catamaran sails, and some operators also take bookings for private events. What each trip includes, how many people it carries and what it costs are not set out here; ask the operator directly before booking. The same goes for departure points and timings, which can vary by trip and by weather.

Questions to ask

Can I book a private trip rather than a shared one?

Several operators list private trips: Messinia Yachts, Alegria Sailing Catamaran and IGOR Daily Cruises all describe private cruises, and Nautic Holics offers trips with or without a captain. Ask each business whether a given departure is private or shared, and how many other guests would be on board.

What is included in the price of a boat tour?

The listings do not set out what is included. Confirm with the operator whether food, drinks, snorkelling gear or transfers are part of the trip, and what the price covers. Alegria Sailing Catamaran mentions Greek traditions as part of the time on board, but details should be checked directly.

Where do the boats depart from?

Most operators are based at the central port of Kalamata: Messinia Yachts on Posidonos, Kalamata Yach Tours at Pier 29, and Kalamata Yachting at the central pier. Alegria Sailing Catamaran is based at the marina. Messinia Yachts also lists departures from Pylos and Kardamyli. Confirm the meeting point when booking.

What happens if the weather turns bad?

IGOR Daily Cruises states that the captain may adjust the route in case of bad weather or unforeseen events, and that departure and arrival times may shift by up to two hours for safety. For other operators, ask about their policy on weather and changes to the itinerary before you book.
