We had a lovely experience! Reasonable price, good communication with us- they had to cancel our original day due to bad weather but they quickly sorted it and rescheduled! When we got there they showed us the important bits of how to use the boat and we set off! It was so much fun, a highlight of our holiday! Thank you Chania Boats Rental!

Perfect! Booked online in advance and paid on arrival. Lots of useful and confidence building instruction online before you become a captain yourself! WhatsApp messages arrived the day before outlining the details of the following day and where we could take the boat/route.

Very easy to find at the port. I can’t remember the name of the Gentleman who was there but he was absolutely fantastic! Gave us a full briefing, loaded with useful tips, information and safety related rules for the sea. He showed us everything with the boat and how to operate it and after a quick driving lesson we were on our way!

We had a fantastic day around Chania and Theodorou Island. We dropped anchor and jumped off the boat into the sea and went snorkelling! Cruised around the bay on the green routes provided and also anchored up at Kalathas Beach.

The Garmin GPS system on the boat told us exactly where we were, how fast we were going and how deep the water was which great!

We took a big bag of ice, plenty of drinks and food. The ice lasted the day in the cool box provided keeping everything nice and cool.

Fuel paid in cash on return was within their rough estimate for the fuel cost on the day.

Overall fantastic and will return in the future! 😄
