    Amazing trip

    My wife and I did a private tour (hidden gems) from Keri. Great comms beforehand and easy to find. We left at 9:30 and were at Keri by 9. Ample free parking in harbour area when we arrived. Our captain was fab and it was a great way to see the south of the island. Some great swimming opportunities too. Would thoroughly recommend

    Brilliant experience

    Totally recommend this boat trip. Very well organised and professional. We were taken to so many gorgeous caves, hidden beaches etc. Stunning. Our skipper was fabulous, he had the ability to steer the boat into tiny caves with total confidence, he was very polite and friendly and really knew the area well. We saw two turtles and he got us really close without bothering them. We were very confident in his expertise which made the trip very relaxing. He made some great suggestions including swimming through the Cave of Love which was just incredible, a real experience, it felt like we were in a Pirates of the Caribbean movie! Worth the money.

    An amazing lifetime experience 🗾✨

    The boat tour was incredible. At the very beginning, the staff greeted us with a smile and introduced us to our captain. He was very pleasant, explained to us about the beautiful locations and even took group pictures and videos for us. The whole sailing was a wonderful experience and the nature and the ocean were breathtaking. I would recommend everyone to visit the caves as well as the beautiful private sandy beaches. 🇬🇷🏖️🐢

    Zante Private Boat: Marathonisi, Caves, Myzithres, Pisines (max7): questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Zante Private Boat: Marathonisi, Caves, Myzithres, Pisines (max7) cost?

    +

    Prices start at $570 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 Zante Private Boat: Marathonisi, Caves, Myzithres, Pisines (max7) take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 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 Zante Private Boat: Marathonisi, Caves, Myzithres, Pisines (max7) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 16 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 Zante Private Boat: Marathonisi, Caves, Myzithres, Pisines (max7)?

    +

    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 Zante Private Boat: Marathonisi, Caves, Myzithres, Pisines (max7) suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Zante Private Boat: Marathonisi, Caves, Myzithres, Pisines (max7)?

    +

    Around 6 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Zante Private Boat: Marathonisi, Caves, Myzithres, Pisines (max7) 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 Zante Private Boat: Marathonisi, Caves, Myzithres, Pisines (max7)?

    +

    Included: Fuel; Swimming Masks; and Life vests. Not included: Towels; and Food & Drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
