Boat tours in Spetses

Boat trips in Spetses: what to ask

Boat tours in Spetses leave from a working harbour where wooden hulls still set the tone. Several operators are based at the Old Port (Palio Limani) and the Baltiza area, and most run private trips rather than shared ones, so the first thing to settle is whether you want the boat to yourselves or are happy to join a group. Spetses Maritime, for example, runs private day cruises on a 9 m handcrafted wooden speedboat built in 2016 by the family business, with a Yanmar diesel engine, 18 knots cruising and fuel included. Anassa Cruises offers day trips by kaiki and private charters to beaches and small coves reachable only by sea. Spetses Private Cruising "Doryssa" sails a 9.25 m traditional wooden kaiki built on the island, with an 80 hp Isuzu engine, and lists a sunset cruise among its trips. Katerina Rental Boat Spetses has a 9.5 m wooden boat built on Spetses in 1992, equipped for daily cruises with a capacity of 12 people. Sardela runs daily cruises and rentals on a traditional wooden boat built by local craftsmen. Ask each operator what is included, how long the trip runs and where it goes before booking.
