Whether you’re a boating expert who knows all the newest designs and models or a novice who knows nothing about boats, there’s a boat out there for everyone. When planning a vacation, you want to ensure that your vessel not only fits everyone but also glides smoothly into the sunset.

Here are some of our top picks for the greatest sorts of boats for your next adventure.

CRUISE DAY OR A SIMPLE BOAT RENTAL?

The first thing you should do before hiring a boat is deciding what you want to accomplish that day. Whether it is a cruise to nearby sites or a little break with friends and family, you must plan to make the necessary arrangements. 

If you decide to go on a cruise, you’ll need a large boat with a captain to accompany you and a detailed itinerary to follow.

Dreamswim offers 3 different types of skippered cruises that allow you to explore divine places and swim in emerald waters and everything is included in the price. We also give you the freedom to organize your custom-made cruise day according to your preferences and plans. 

Moreover, if you wish to not have a cruise and just go for a daily boat rental then the options are plenty for you to choose from, and have a wonderful time out on the water!

LICENSE OR NO LICENSE NEEDED BOATS

Whether you do have a boat license or not, do not worry at all! You may hire a boat with or without a license, and there are boats designed for novices who wish to enjoy the sea on their own and be the captains of their adventures.

Renting motor boats without a license is legal in various countries, including Greece, depending on the size and power of the boat. We recommend that you check the maritime legislation of your location, as well as the availability of hiring a boat without a captain and/or license, as mentioned on the boat’s page, before making a reservation.

At Dreamswim we offer a variety of boats with low engine power which do not require a license and differ according to the number of passengers they can hold. If you are a small group of up to 6 people then a 5-people-capacity or 6-people-capacity boat is the perfect choice for you to explore the area of Diaporos island. But, if you are a group of up to 12 people then we have the only 12-people-capacity boat in the area of Vourvourou waiting for you! 

However, if you are an experienced captain and have a boat license then our bigger engine boats are suitable for you to get one and visit more distant places. 

And for the ones of you who do not wish to struggle with handling the boat or wish to go a little bit further but do not have a license, then we can offer you the option to hire a skipper with your boat.

BUDGET

Boat rental fees vary based on the size of the boat and the length of time you want to use it. Small boats are less expensive than bigger ones, and you pay less if you just use them for a short period. You can choose to rent for half a day or the entire day. A half-day rental will provide you with 4 hours on the water, while a full-day rental will give you 8 hours. The cost increases if you hire a skipper for the day or go on a cruise. 

Regardless of your budget, at DREAMSWIM we always have the best option for you and your needs!

GET A BOAT WITH SUITABLE EQUIPMENT ON

When selecting a boat to hire, the boat equipment is an important thing to consider before ending up with a decision and getting on the water. The basic equipment any boat company must provide you with are:

  1. GPS and tracking system (charts, maps etc.)
  2. Life jackets for every passenger (kids especially)
  3. Emergency kit 
  4. An anchor with enough chain

Before departing make sure you have been provided with these things and “bon voyage!”

Boat ownership is similar to vehicle ownership. The two may deliver the same type of delight in many ways. But for them to function effectively, they both need upkeep. The longer you put off essential boat maintenance, the more problems you’re likely to encounter.
