Boat trips in Kos town: what to ask

Boat tours in Kos town leave from a compact stretch of waterfront, mainly Akti Kountouriotou and the marina on Georgiou Papandreou, so you can compare operators on foot before booking. The choice ranges from shared day cruises to private yacht charters. Barco de Pirata Cruises runs the Kos Pearl route to Vathi, Pserimos and the Blue Lagoon with a BBQ lunch, plus a second route to Pserimos, Kalymnos and Plati. Odyssey Boat Kos sails daily to Kalymnos, Plati and Pserimos, departing at 10:00 and returning at 17:00. For a private outing, Kos Yachting offers cruises aboard a Ferretti 57, including day trips, sunset cruises and weekly charters, with routes tailored to the customer. Sea Traveller, based on Akti Kountouriotou, lists boat rentals with both no-licence and licence boats, sunset cruises and private water taxi transfers. Sail Kos and Archangelos Michael Sailing both run sailing trips, the latter departing from Kos Harbor. Nikitas Cruise operates a green ship for day trips to Pserimos, Kalymnos and Plati and also rents boats for group celebrations and private tours. Ask each operator what is included in the price, whether the trip is shared or private, and what the day's route covers.

Questions to ask

Are the boat tours shared or private?

It depends on the operator. Nikitas Cruise and Jasmin Private Cruises state that they arrange private tours and cruises, while Kos Yachting runs private yacht cruises. Others, such as Barco de Pirata Cruises and Odyssey Boat Kos, describe scheduled day cruises that are likely shared. Confirm the format when you book.

What is included in a day cruise?

Inclusions vary. Barco de Pirata Cruises mentions a BBQ lunch on its Kos Pearl route, and Sail Kos says its sailing trips include food and drink on board. For other operators, ask directly about meals, drinks, snorkelling gear and any extras before you pay.

Can I book a sunset trip?

Sea Traveller and Kos Yachting both list sunset cruises among their services. Availability depends on the date and the boat, so contact them directly to check whether a sunset departure fits your plans.

Do I need a licence to rent a boat?

Sea Traveller states that it offers both no-licence and licence boats. Other operators on this page do not specify licence requirements in their listings. Ask the business you choose what documentation you need to bring and what rules apply to the boat you rent.
