Boat Rental in Agios Nikolaos: 4.5–5m Boats, Optional Skipper

Your own boat on Mirabello Bay, or a captain to run it for you.

Rent a small motorboat (4.5–5m) in Agios Nikolaos for a half-day or full-day cruise on Mirabello Bay, with the option to skipper it yourself or hire a captain. Boats come with fruit, bottled water and soft drinks. No boat license is required if you choose the skipper option. You pick the vessel and the duration at checkout.

The experience

The boats here are 4.5 to 5 meters long: small enough to handle alone if you have a license, but compact enough that a hired skipper makes the whole day hands-off. You can rent for four hours or eight hours, and the choice of boat (Karel Ithaca, Nireus 490 Optima, or Parydor Y45) stays yours at checkout. Mirabello Bay is the water around Agios Nikolaos, and it's the route you'll cover: no fixed itinerary, no stops dictated for you.

If you take the skipper, he handles navigation and docking while you sit back. If you drive, you're in control of where the boat goes and how long you stay in any spot. Either way, the rental includes fruit, bottled water and soft drinks. The boats suit all fitness levels, and infants can come along in a pram or stroller. Service animals are welcome too.

Parking fees and snorkeling gear are separate costs. A skipper runs an extra 20 euros per hour on top of the rental price. Book now and pick your boat model and your role (captain or passenger) when you confirm.
