Boat hire for 6
The boat was easily big enough for 6, we booked the full day and could have had it from 10-sunset if we had wanted to stay out that long. The demonstration on how to use it was very thorough and not hard to get the hang of it. Would highly recommend it, brilliant day

1 issue besides that a 10
The boat was amazing very easy to use and the instructions were l0 min. This would have got all the stars but when we came back I had 1 five gallon tank gone and the kid that checked us in charge me 60 euro. $2.6 euro a liter the math did not work for me I didn’t want to argue than he insisted the cc machine was broke. So there was no way to track what he took. The owner needs to be aware besides that an amazing day.
Response from the operator: Hello and thank you for your review . If you felt that there was any mistake regarding the fuel charge, you could have contacted us directly and we would have been more than happy to look into it and resolve it with you, especially since you mentioned that you otherwise had a great experience with our boat and service. Just to clarify, one fuel tank contains approximately 25 liters. Based on a fuel price of around €2.40 per liter, the total comes to approximately €60, which is you were charged (25 x 2.4 = 60 ) We are always available to discuss any concern directly and find a fair solution together. Thank you again, and we are very happy that you otherwise enjoyed your day with us.

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Santorini Boat Rental: License Free and Full or Half Day Options: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santorini.
How much does Santorini Boat Rental: License Free and Full or Half Day Options cost?
+
Prices start at $401 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Santorini usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Santorini Boat Rental: License Free and Full or Half Day Options take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Santorini is not rushed.
Is Santorini Boat Rental: License Free and Full or Half Day Options worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 135 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Santorini, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Santorini Boat Rental: License Free and Full or Half Day Options?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Santorini Boat Rental: License Free and Full or Half Day Options suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Santorini Boat Rental: License Free and Full or Half Day Options?
+
Around 47 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Santorini can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Santorini and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Santorini Boat Rental: License Free and Full or Half Day Options start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Santorini within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Santorini?
+
On Outty we rank every Santorini experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Half Day Premium Catamaran Cruise in Santorini including Oia, Private Santorini Tailor Made - Choice of the Guest!, Private Tailor-Made Santorini Land Tour with a Local Driver. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Santorini?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Santorini?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
