As you chart the waters, each bay and inlet promises a new sight, making the journey as mesmerizing as the destinations.

Ideal Sailing Conditions: Zakynthos is blessed with the perfect Mediterranean climate, characterized by consistent yet gentle breezes, making it an ideal destination for both novices and seasoned sailors.

What Choose

Sailing boat or Catamaran, what to sail in Zakynthos

Navigating the Ionian Sea around Zakynthos provides an opportunity to experience the island in a unique way, and at Yachting.Rent, we’re here to ensure you make the right choice between a sailing boat and a catamaran for your adventure.

A sailing boat offers an authentic sailing experience, perfect for those who love the feeling of being at one with the sea. These boats provide a thrill as they navigate the waves and deliver a more intimate connection with the water. They are ideal for experienced sailors seeking the traditional thrills of sailing.

They offer larger living areas, making them great for families or larger groups. Their design also provides a smoother sailing experience, making them a popular choice for those who may be new to sailing or prefer a more laid-back journey.

Whichever you choose, our team at Yachting.Rent is ready to guide you, ensuring your yachting adventure around Zakynthos is as memorable and enjoyable as possible.

Explore historical Zakynthos

The Venetian Tower is a remnant of the Venetian rule over the island in 1484, who also called Zakynthos the Flower of the East . During this time they tried to repopulate Zakynthos as many inhabitants had fled the island. Later, even Italians escaping the civil wars, that were occuring in Italy at the time, settled here.

Beautiful monasteries like Anafonitria monastery or Monastery Panagia Skopiotissa show the deep rooted Christian history on the island.

Explore mystical Zakynthos

According to Homer, the island of Zakynthos received its name from its founder with the same name. He was the son of the king of Troy and came to the island with his fleet, where he founded his very own Acropolis. As Greeks take their mythology very seriously, there are plenty of coins and other artifacts showing the founder of the island. It is even said that Zakynthos was the one who freed the island from snakes.

Sailing conditions in Zakynthos

Despite the obvious beauty that you can find in Zakynthos, it is the perfect sailing destination for anyone who wants to go out and explore. The winds and waves are generally not as strong as in other parts of the Greek islands. This also makes it a perfect destination for novice sailors. Some bays might be deeper than you expect, so bringing a longer anchor line is advisable. You can even explore different kinds of landscapes on the island. The west coast is karstic and therefore many caves and other kinds of fascinating rocky landscapes can be found here. On the contrary, the eastern part of the island is fertile and green.

The summers are very hot and dry with the months of July and August being the most popular months to visit the island. The winters will get colder and windier. Strong South-South-East winds are dominating here in winter and early spring.

Keep an eye out for the National Marine Park of Zakynthos , where wildlife is protected.

How much does it cost to rent a boat in Zakynthos?

Renting a boat in Zakynthos won’t break your bank. In fact, Zakynthos and Greece in general are amongst the most affordable destinations for a boat vacation in the Mediterranean. Prices can definitely fluctuate between high season and shoulder season, but that shouldn’t stop you from booking your amazing sailing trip in Zakynthos .

Charter a sailboat in Greece at an average price of 50 EUR per person per day. Sailboats are the cheapest boats you can charter in Greece and the fact that they solely run on wind means that you don’t need to calculate any additional costs for fuel. The most expensive option for a boat holiday in Greece is a motorboat charter which comes at an average price of 190 EUR per person per night. Be aware that this doesn’t include the extra costs for fuel you have to keep in mind in addition to your bareboat charter. Rent a catamaran in Greece for an average price of 150 EUR per person per day. If you are a more experienced sailor and want to rent something adventurous, but still affordable, you should rent a gulet in Greece at an average price of 105 EUR per person per day. It costs 93 EUR per person per day on average to rent a RIB. However, bear in mind that RIBs are only suitable as day charters, not for overnight stays.

A skippered yacht charter in Zakynthos is a great choice if you just want to relax and not move a finger when enjoying a boat holiday on the Ionian islands.

What type of boat is best for sailing in Zakynthos?

Zakynthos has many beautiful beaches to choose from, but not every boat type is a good choice to explore them with. You would charter a different type of boat for an activity like that than the one you would go for if you want to go island hopping around the Ionian islands.

Rent a catamaran in Zakynthos

Pros of renting a catamaran in Zakynthos

Charter a catamaran in Zakynthos if you’re ready for a super relaxing beach holiday. Sail from beach to beach without a care in the world. Catamarans are perfect for this type of holiday as they have a shallow draft and no keel. This makes them your ideal partner for sailing in shallow waters and super close to all the fabulous beaches you would like to explore on your sailing vacation in Zakynthos .

A catamaran rental in Zakynthos gives you all the flexibility you would hope for. Equipped with a sail as well as an engine catamarans are the real stars amongst the many different types of boats. You can set your sail and sail with the winds if they allow to do so or use the engine if they don’t. Either way, you will never get stuck in the middle of the sea, because you have no way of moving forward should the wind suddenly stop blowing.

Rent a catamaran in Zakynthos if you are more of a comfortable type. Catamarans are generally more spacious and more comfortable than other types of boats. Standing on two hulls gives them more room to expand the bedrooms as well as other cabins on board the boat. You will feel like sleeping in a hotel room rather than a boat. Additionally, the two hulls give catamarans more stability than other types of boats. Even if the wind picks up, a catamaran will stay strong and you won’t feel the wind rocking the boat as much. You might hear the water hitting underneath the boat where the two hulls are connected, but it is a minor annoyance considering the benefits you gain from sailing on a catamaran in Zakynthos .

Cons of renting a catamaran in Zakynthos

Of course it is great to have all this extra space available on board a catamaran, but it might also come with disadvantages in the long run as it might be harder to find a spot for mooring in the marinas - and if you do, you probably have to pay extra for all the extra space you’re hogging. If that’s the case, you might be better off finding a nice and quiet bay for anchoring for the night. Isn’t it more beautiful to wake up watching the sunrise in nature anyway?

Charter a catamaran in Zakynthos town

Rent a sailboat in Zakynthos

Pros of renting a sailboat in Zakynthos

Rent a sailboat in Zakynthos if you care about the environment and want to experience a sustainable boat holiday in Greece. As sailboats run on wind, you don’t need to worry about getting your tank filled up every time you leave the marina and you can rest assured that you won’t create any extra emissions. As the wind conditions on the Ionian islands are great for sailing, you will enjoy your holiday on a sailboat very much.

Charter a sailboat in Zakynthos if you want to save a bit of money. Sailboats are generally one of the cheapest boats you can charter on a boat holiday in Greece, but the fact that they are only running on wind and technically don’t need any fuel, makes them even more affordable.

Another advantage of a sailboat charter in Zakynthos is the fact that sailboats don’t need to stop by any marinas to refuel. This makes them perfect for sailing longer distances. You can certainly discover islands that are further away without worrying about fuel or simply stay away from the touristy spots while anchoring in secluded bays for the night instead.

For the romantics amongst us, renting a sailboat in Zakynthos means that no engine noises are going to ruin the peace and serenity you get to experience on a sailboat. Simply take in the views, feel the wind on your skin and forget your everyday worries for a week.

Cons of renting a sailboat in Zakynthos

One of the downsides of a sailboat rental in Zakynthos can be the fact that sailboats solely run on wind. Sure, there might be a smaller engine which is generally used for mooring when the wind conditions aren’t right or for emergency situations at sea, but they are not made for longer distances. This means that you might get stuck in the middle of the sea, should the wind suddenly stop blowing. If you only have a week to discover the Ionian islands by sailboat, it might cause some frustration.

Another disadvantage of a sailboat hire in Zakynthos might be the lack of space on deck. As all the necessary equipment needs to be stored somewhere on deck, it might become quite cluttered and less comfortable. Sailboats are definitely not the type of boats you rent if you just want to experience a relaxing boat vacation in Zakynthos, sunbathing by the beach and swimming in the turquoise water.

Sailboat rental in Zakynthos

Rent a motorboat in Zakynthos

Pros of renting a motorboat in Zakynthos

Rent a motorboat in Zakynthos if you want to discover as many secluded, but beautiful beaches as possible. The shallow draft allows you to drive closer to the shore, meaning that you get easy access to the most stunning beaches the island has to offer.

Anyone who loves speed is well advised to charter a motorboat in Zakynthos . They are generally faster than other types of boats and often narrower. This also makes motorboats easier to navigate. Hopping from beach to beach or island to island will be a real treat - especially if your time is limited and you want to explore as much as possible.

Cons of renting a motorboat in Zakynthos

One of the downsides of renting a motorboat in Zakynthos is the fact that motorboats only run on fuel. Fuel is expensive, making motorboats one of the most expensive options when it comes to boat holidays on the Ionian islands.

Motorboat rental in Zakynthos

Charter a luxury yacht in Zakynthos

It is no secret that the rich and famous regularly vacation on the most luxurious superyachts in the Mediterranean in popular destinations like Mykonos or Ibiza, but there are many luxury yachts in Zakynthos just waiting to be chartered. If you have the necessary funds available, you shouldn’t hesitate and book your dream yacht vacation on the Ionian islands today. Generally speaking, a luxury yacht will be equipped with basics like a fridge, freezer, stove, coffee maker and kettle and extras like SUPs, snorkelling equipment and wifi for extra fun.

What kind of boat licence do you need when renting a boat in Zakynthos?

Anyone who wants to charter a boat in Zakynthos , needs to be in possession of a valid boat licence - unless you want to rent a motorboat with less than 30hp. These boats don’t require you to carry a boat licence. If you do have a boat licence and it has been issued in a language other than English or Greek, make sure you get it translated into Greek or English before coming here. It is mandated by the Greek authorities and will save you a lot of headaches as they take their rules and regulations very seriously.

If you are neither in possession of a valid boat licence, nor want to obtain one in the next while, be sure to hire a skipper in addition to your bareboat charter. It will be great to have someone on board taking care of all the work while you get to enjoy your sailing vacation in Zakynthos .

Sailing routes in Zakynthos

You can either explore all that the beautiful islands of Zakynthos has to offer or discover the other Ionian islands as well. Whatever route you choose, you will be sure to see some of the most beautiful places Greece has to offer.

Day 1 - Sail from Zakynthos town to Argostoli : Before you head out into the sea, make sure to explore the best Zakynthos town has to offer. Eat at one of the many restaurants serving traditional Greek food like moussaka and Greek salad, before going on a wine tasting tour at Solomos Wines. In Argostoli you should visit the Saint Theodoron Lighthouse and walk around the port of Argostoli .

Day 2 - Sail from Argostoli to Fiscardo : Located in the northern part of Kefalonia , Fiscardo will greet you with a line of friendly looking houses surrounded by turquoise waters and lush green forests in the background. Watching a sunset or sunrise here is truly magical.

Day 3 - Sail from Fiscardo to Atokos : The island of Atokos is an uninhabited, but private island that is owned by a shipping family. However, the public is allowed to access the island and it is a very popular destination for Italians who return here on their yachts every year. Next to all the magnificent coves, caves and white sandy beaches you can admire here, you will also come across a group of wild pigs. This makes the whole trip here particularly interesting.

Day 4 - Sail from Atokos to Arkoudi : The island of Arkoudi is famous for its long stretches of white sand. Take a break from sailing and hike up to the Frankish Castle of Chlemoutsi . You get to wander around an interesting historical site as well as take in the breathtaking views of the Ionian sea from above.

Day 5 - Sail from Arkoudi to Lefkada : Sail along the majestic coastline with its impressive cliffs standing tall against the turquoise water and stop by one of the beautiful beaches, like Porto Katsiki, Egremni Beach or Gialos Beach . The choice is yours.

Day 6 - Sail from Lefkada to Ithaka : Another island well-known for its white sandy beaches, turquoise waters and impressive cliffs giving the island its distinctive look. Visit Afales beach or Kourvoulia Beach for the most amazing experience. These beaches are best reached with your catamaran rental from Zakynthos.

Day 7 - Sail from Ithaka to Zakynthos: Your boat holiday started in Zakynthos and is going to end here, but before you sail back to the port to take your boat back to the charter, you should sail to Kako Lagadi Beach on the island of Kefalonia .

€3,190 per week during the low season

What is the best time to visit Zakynthos?

Zakynthos has a typical Mediterranean climate, with long, hot summers and short, mild winters. The most popular time to visit Zakynthos is during the summer, especially in July and August. This coincides with the summer holidays as well as the hottest temperatures. Therefore, if you want to visit at a time with fewer tourists, we recommend you avoid those two months.

Should I charter a private yacht with or without a skipper?

Many yachts in Zakynthos have the option to come with or without a skipper. While it can add an extra cost to your charter, a skipper can bring many benefits to your overall experience. For instance, they will handle all the technical aspects of sailing, including docking and anchoring the yacht. Therefore, you just have to sit back and relax and soak in the Greek sun. Moreover, a skipper will be familiar with the regional area, so they can show you around the best parts of Zakynthos. Ultimately, a skipper will provide you with a more comfortable and enjoyable experience, making for an unforgettable holiday.

The sights in Zakynthos

There is so much to see and discover in Zakynthos that it can be difficult to know where to start. For this reason, we have come up with our recommendations to help inspire your holiday.

Firstly, a luxury yacht charter in Zakynthos is incomplete without visiting the beautiful beaches on the island. For instance, the most famous beach is Navagio Beach. What makes this beach so special is that there is a historic shipwreck. The contrast between the cerulean blue waters and the old ship is guaranteed to leave you stunned. You can also visit Laganas Bay, known for its sea turtles. Apart from its various attractions, the beach is also a protected area for loggerhead turtles. If you are really interested, you can even visit the Zakynthos National Marine Park for more information on the fascinating creatures!

When you want to disembark from your private yacht charter, make sure to walk around and admire the natural scenery of Zakynthos. In fact, the Venetians used to call the island the “Flower of the East” because of the island’s abundance of flowers. With over 7,000 species of flowers in 405 square kilometres squared of land, you will be enveloped with an enchanting floral scent as you explore the island. If you want to get to know more about Greek history and culture, be sure to visit the Museum of Dionysios Solomos and the Byzantine Museum. Otherwise, you can simply wander around Saint Markos Square and discover the local shops, picturesque architecture and delicious gastronomy. Be sure to try their famous nougat and Tlilikourda.

Nearby destinations to explore

Not only is Zakynthos a great place to visit on its own, but its proximity to other beautiful islands makes a yacht charter even more worthwhile! If you have time for day trips or longer voyages, we recommend exploring other Ionian islands such as Corfu or Lefkada. Alternatively, you can see other Greek islands such as the Cyclades, the Dodecanese or the Sporades. If you want to discover more than Greece, venture to neighbouring countries such as Italy or Albania! Set sail on the sparkling waters and see all there is to see.

Rent a yacht in Zakynthos with or without a skipper

Renting a boat in Zakynthos offers you the choice of sailing with or without a skipper, catering to your sailing experience and preferences. 

When you opt for a skipper , you can access many benefits that enhance your sailing experience. Skippers are seasoned professionals with expert knowledge of the local waters and navigational challenges.

However, certain conditions must be met before you can take the reins. Firstly, depending on the size and type of boat you wish to rent, you'll need a valid sailing licence or certification. The boat owner will require proof of your sailing proficiency to ensure the safety of everyone on board.

What Ttravellers Say Aabout Us

It was excellent! The boats were clean and luxurious. Everything was being handled and very professional! From the booking till the end everything was literally perfect!! At the trip we went to shipwreck beach and the blue caves. We even accidentally saw a sealion! Did not expect that. Bottomline I HIGHLY recommend this rental!!

Deze 2 broers doen er alles aan om je een geweldige dag op het water te bezorgen! Veilige, nieuwe boten, navigatiesysteem aan boord voor als je onverwacht hulp nodig hebt, goede service en uitleg, eerlijke prijs! Rij de weg af naar de haven van Agios Nicolaos, Volimes en je vindt de heren langs de weg in hun paarse ‘kantoor’ gemaakt van pallethout met daarop de foto’s van hun nieuwe boten. Er zijn vele boten te huur op Zakynthos, maar wij raden jullie het huren bij Zante rent boats zeker aan voor een fantastische dag op het water!

Pedthegreat

The two brothers are doing a great job. They care about the safety of the people renting and they care about the boats. The boat we hired for the day had life jackets, GPS tracking, flares, spare fuel and a spare engine. Failing that it even had oars! You will not need any of these items but they show the level of care the brothers put in. The boat was new and was excellent for the days travel around to ship wreck cove, blue caves and then down to Alykanas stopping for swimming and snorkeling along the way. A great day out enjoyed by the whole family and highly reccomended.

David Riley

This was probably the highlight of the holiday, we were kept well informed by dionisis regarding times and the weather forecasts from the day we booked to the time we sailed. For our trip we travelled on a small vessel with the four of us and one other couple which in these times of covid19 we felt this was a much safer option than some of the other cattle wagon type trips. Our captain for the day was a fantastic guy called Dennis who couldn’t do enough for us from pointing out all the historical facts and sights to taking us to a secluded beach for swimming and snorkeling. In all a well organised day with safety and customer satisfaction the main focus and not just a quick buck to be made here.

Last week, we rented a boat with

, and the service was simply impeccable. First of all, we got all our questions immediately answered beforehand. Secondly, they went the extra mile in arranging an additional icebox on the boat. Thirdly, they gave us the option to postpone our trip as the weather was deteriorating just slightly – but we decided to go anyway.

So, whenever you are looking for a rental boat for a boat trip around the north side of the island, we would strongly recommend

Melanie Bantow

If you like to book a safe experience go to the Pro’ s here. Best introduction and safety always first. Such gentle guys. Thank you for the nice memories.

Dionysus and Andreas are legends. Really welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable – both sons from a fishing family born in Zakynthos (although with a few years working in London – their English is exceptional). Nothing is too much trouble and you head out having had an excellent tutorial, so you feel safe and confident. Excellent value for money – we were recommended by a friend and Zante Rent Boats definitely delivered! They also gave us top tips on where to eat/buy good local produce. Thank you both for such a great day out and for being so lovely. Will tell all our friends to use you should they head to Zakynthos!

These guys are the best! We felt perfectly taken care of and safe because of their great instructions and tipps. We would definitely rent a boat from them again. Great experience! Greetings sebastian and Judith

Samuel Götz

Best dudes ever! Really nice brothers running this family Business with world class recommendations regarding wind, sea and places to be visitted.

Testimonial

Mike is a legend! As soon as we arrived at the spot, Mike was there to greet us with a smile. He then escorted us to our boat and explained everything we need to know about driving the boat, how to move on the Ionian Sea and what some of the good places are to visit during our voyage. This all while having a laugh and joking around! Because of him, we had an amazing day on the Ionian Sea! Ευχαριστώ Mike!

Gianni Coorman

Mike is a good guy, he s not really good in answering emails therefore its better to call ;) Boat was fine, the location is impressive definitely worth doing

Patrick Marty

Very nice service and relaxing rental for a nice boat trips.

phoenix icarus

I found their website when searching for a boat rental company and was grateful to see pricing and availability on the website. Because we were hoping to rent in less than 24 hr notice, I chose to reach out on WhatsApp and received a very quick response. Mike greeted us and went over a quick tutorial of the boat. We were able to visit blue caves and Shipwreck beach! The sea is very rough once you go around the north cape. I am an experienced boat owner/driver but I could see those conditions not being ideal for anyone with little to no boat experience. Mike was careful to explain that however. Because of how busy shipwreck beach is and not being able to take the boat to shore, in hindsight I would recommend hiring a captain. My experience with Mike and Wreck and Blue was excellent however and I’d recommend them to anyone! The price was comparable to other boat rental places plus you pay for gas that you use.

Lauren Lofts

We had an amazing day today thanks to Mike! We called him yesterday to make a booking and had the most fun day today! Mike explained everything very clearly and was very friendly and funny. This day made our trip! Would recommend everyone to go see Mike for a nice boat at a good price!

Kiara Billet

We booked the a stronger 115 horse power boat spontaneously the same day and paid a really good price for 4 hours compared to other boat rentals. Mike was super friendly and welcoming and suggested a really good greek restaurant afterwards when asking as the strong sun really made us tired and hungry. Gas had to be paid extra like at nearly every other boat rental. 5/5 stars!

Perfect spot for some weekend activity! Friendly staff and great location! Cameron did an excellent job in getting my party ready for some enjoyable kayaking experience.

Cash only!! (Only reason it's not a 5!) Plan ahead.... Solid service by Bri, and the young men who launch you and help you back in. Thanks for such an affordable, reliable kayaking opportunity. Part of my summer rituals now.... Know that the website is not current, either.... But what they do, they do well!

On the River

One of our sightings

Reasonable prices but cash only. Equipments are fine and easy renting. The old man and the young guy both were helpful. 1.5-2 hrs kayak/ canoe is totally worth it. Social distancing and masks are requiredat the dock at these convos times but later can be removed in the boats.

Had lot of geese accompany us!!

This goes back some time, but had the same experience as other reviewers here with the "older man" and felt compelled to write this review. Brought extended family (with young kids) to rent some canoes. Found the front desk empty during regular hours. Stepped onto the deck in front of the river to see if anyone was around. Eventually we noticed the "older man" by himself with some canoes. He ignored us. We asked if he worked here and he went ballistic. Started yelling at us and punching canoes. Getting violent and unpredictable. We retreated quickly to our car. Absolutely confused by the incident. We reached out to the owner by phone to report the incident and she basically told us "what do you want me to do about it?" As I understand it, he is related to the owner and she is well aware of this ongoing problem. Read the other reviews, this is not an isolated incident.

I really enjoyed Canoeing here, the concord river is huge so we canoed for 3+ hours but only covered a fraction of the river. The boat house has double kayaks, canoes, and single kayaks. Be aware that this place is CASH ONLY. They had someone help us get in and out of the boat which was nice. The price I believe is changed by hour then after 3 hours, the price no longer goes up. The facilities are on the older side but did not impact our experience. I would make five stars if they accepted credit card and/or could book from their website.

Good prices, equipment is ok, but the best is the excursion to the minute man historic monument and house. Make sure you pick a good, clear, and warm day for your excursion. The rental was quick and efficient. Not much training or "friendliness", just to business and off you go on the water.

Fun expeditions to minute man historical monument

David was great. He provided us with maps of the river, advised us on some hidden gems and shallow areas to watch out for, and was generally speaking just a really kind person. I was glad we ended up here - David's warm welcome was a great way to begin a lovely afternoon paddling trip. Will definitely be back.

How can you not be excited about getting on the water in this spot?

Love this beautiful spot! The new 3rd generation owner is amazing! She is so kind, professional, and hardworking. The customer service is top notch and the views on the river are stunning. Can't recommend this place enough!

What a great place this is. The prices could be a little less, but it's still worth it. The Sudbury River water isn't the cleanest but it's all good...the boathouse has nothing to do with that. They don't take debit or credit cards like the website says. They should update the site. I know that the boathouse may have survived some massive water damage throughout the years with floods...but it still upholds its charm. My experiences have been pretty fair when it comes to the staff. There's a lot of wild life which is a plus!

This is a lovely little spot to come to and have an 1 1/2 canoe or kayak down river through Concord. It's very pretty and we had the opportunity to take some wonderful pictures. The boat house has a working bathroom and lots of boats, the staff are young but helpful. There is an easiness to renting (cash only). They offer a lunch and dinner cruise that could be nice but the menu wasn't of interest. We would recommend this and do it again!
