    Fun and free on the sea!

    We were met at the dock by Fanis. He gave us a very detailed explanation of how to drive the boat and what to do and not to do. This was very helpful and put my mind at ease straight away as this was my first experience driving a boat! Once that was all done it was straight to action! The boat was so much fun to drive and easy to understand how it worked. We had such a good time just resting at the white beach and the red beach calmly rocked by the waves. Enjoying our beverages supplied by Fanis. We also had lots of fun swimming with our snorkels that were provided. If you’re looking for a private peaceful boat for two or 3 I would strongly recommend this experience. When coming back the team was very responsive as we decided to come back allitle earlier due to being a bit cold.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re especially happy to hear that Fanis’ detailed briefing helped you feel confident and relaxed, especially for your first time driving a boat. It sounds like you made the most of your day—swimming, snorkeling, relaxing at the Red and White Beaches, and enjoying a few drinks along the way! We’re also glad we could be there when you decided to return a little earlier. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to welcome you back to Santorini again!

    Easy and welcoming

    We rented a boat for 5 hours and everything went super well. Good communication and very new and very clean boats. Great experience!!

    Response from the operator: Merci beaucoup pour votre merveilleux avis ! Nous sommes ravis d’apprendre que vous avez passé une excellente expérience avec nous. Nous sommes heureux que vous ayez apprécié le bateau moderne et propre ainsi que notre communication. Ce fut un plaisir de vous accueillir, et nous espérons vous revoir à Santorin très bientôt!

    Wonderful experience

    We had such an amazing time renting a boat just for ourselves! The boat was beautiful and noticeably bigger and more comfortable than the others around us. Fanis explained everything so thoroughly from the very beginning, which made us feel completely relaxed and comfortable throughout the trip. We cruised along the coast, stopped for swims at several beautiful spots, and enjoyed every moment of it. And to make the experience even more special, we received a lovely gift at the end of the trip — especially touching as it was my birthday! We truly can’t recommend Santimaris enough. Thank you so much to Konstantina and Fanis for the wonderful service and for making our day so special!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your beautiful words! It was a pleasure having you with us, and we’re so happy you felt comfortable and enjoyed every moment on the water. We’re especially glad we could make your birthday a little more special! 🎂🎁 Wishing you many more wonderful memories, and we hope to welcome you back to Santorini again soon.

    Santorini Boat Rental - No License Needed: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santorini.

    How much does Santorini Boat Rental - No License Needed cost?

    +

    Prices start at €200 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 - No License Needed 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 - No License Needed worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 9 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 - No License Needed?

    +

    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 - No License Needed 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 - No License Needed?

    +

    Around 3 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 - No License Needed 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.

    What is included in Santorini Boat Rental - No License Needed?

    +

    Included: Carbonated beverages; and Bottled water. Not included: Fuel is extra (calculated upon return of boat). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Santorini Boat Rental - No License Needed?

    +

    We will meet you at Vlyhada Marina. The staff will be wearing the SantiMaris logo. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Santorini Boat Rental - No License Needed offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Greek and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Santorini Boat Rental - No License Needed?

    +

    Is Santorini Boat Rental - No License Needed wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    What happens to Santorini Boat Rental - No License Needed if the weather is bad?

    +
