A Fantastic Sailing Adventure
We booked this one day out trip at our hotel which was reasonably priced and came highly recommended. Taxi pickup was on time and took us directly to the boat’s gangplank where we were warmly greeted by our skipper Alex who welcomed us all aboard. After a few relevant safety tips we were underway for what turned out to be a brilliant day out. The trip comprised of three stops along the coast affording ample time for a swim in the crystal clear warm waters or just to lay back and sunbathe on the boat. Goggles and float aids are available if required for the swim. A snack and drinks are provided on the second stop. The highlight of the eight hour trip was sailing back to port along the picturesque coastline completely under sail which was fantastic in almost total silence apart from some really pleasant background music which Alex couldn’t remember where he got it from. - Sorry Alex, couldn’t resist. Talking of the skipper, if you read Alex’s sailing history on his website you’ll know you’re in very capable hands at all times. I can see why this trip came highly recommended and if you’re holidaying on Zante island this is one trip not to be missed.

Fantastic Day -Private Charter
We stumbled across Alex (@zakynthossailing) while wandering around the marina on our trip to Zakynthos, actively looking for a boat to take us to the shipwreck and the Blue Caves. As a family of eight, we wanted our own private charter — something more relaxed than being packed onto one of the bigger commercial boats with a crowd of strangers. It turned out to be the best decision of the holiday. The day was fantastic from start to finish, and Alex made it an experience we'll all remember. Highly recommended if you're after something personal - also at significantly cheaper cost than the bigger brand boats ..

Fabulous day out sailing
We hired Alex and his boat for a private charter for the day. We had an excellent day out, Alex took us around the south coast to various swimming spots where the kids were able to snorkel (Alex provided the snorkels). It was a hugely enjoyable day, we felt very well looked after, safe and it was great value for money. We even got to see some turtles! We'll do it again if we return to Zante!

Excellent full day sailing trip south of Zakynthos
Alex, the friendly skipper of the Soliton, took care of an excellent sailing trip for a group of five consisting of grandparents, adult children and one grandchild. The baby could sleep inside the ship in a baby bed we brought ourselves. Chilled drinks (including beer and wine) and a good sandwich lunch were provided as well. The car could be parked very nearby on a large and almost empty parking lot (this was early May). Alex turned out to be a very capable navigator who took us to some very beautiful spots with seals and caves along the southern coast.
Response from the operator: Thanks for the nice comment 😀⛵️

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Zakynthos Sailing Private Day Charter: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Zakynthos.
How much does Zakynthos Sailing Private Day Charter cost?
+
Prices start at $913 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Zakynthos usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Zakynthos Sailing Private Day Charter take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Zakynthos is not rushed.
Is Zakynthos Sailing Private Day Charter worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". 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 Zakynthos, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Zakynthos Sailing Private Day Charter?
+
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 Zakynthos Sailing Private Day Charter suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Zakynthos Sailing Private Day Charter?
+
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 Zakynthos 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 Zakynthos and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Zakynthos Sailing Private Day Charter 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 Zakynthos 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 Zakynthos?
+
On Outty we rank every Zakynthos experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ceramic Making Experience in Zakynthos, Half-Day Greek Cooking Class of Zakynthian Culture with Lunch, Zakynthos Turtle Tour Small Group Turtle Spotting & Turtle Island. 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 Zakynthos?
+
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 Zakynthos?
+
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 Zakynthos Sailing Private Day Charter?
+
Included: Stand Up Paddle board Sup; Use of snorkeling equipment; Skipper; and Καύσιμα. Not included: In-vehicle air conditioning; Private transportation; Snacks; and Alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Zakynthos Sailing Private Day Charter?
+
opposite Dionysis Solomou Square at the Zakynthos Marina Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Zakynthos Sailing Private Day Charter offered in?
+
It runs in 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 Zakynthos Sailing Private Day Charter?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Zakynthos Sailing Private Day Charter wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Zakynthos Sailing Private Day Charter if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Zakynthos. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
