What Ttravellers Say Aabout Us

It was excellent! The boats were clean and luxurious. Everything was being handled and very professional! From the booking till the end everything was literally perfect!! At the trip we went to shipwreck beach and the blue caves. We even accidentally saw a sealion! Did not expect that. Bottomline I HIGHLY recommend this rental!!

Deze 2 broers doen er alles aan om je een geweldige dag op het water te bezorgen! Veilige, nieuwe boten, navigatiesysteem aan boord voor als je onverwacht hulp nodig hebt, goede service en uitleg, eerlijke prijs! Rij de weg af naar de haven van Agios Nicolaos, Volimes en je vindt de heren langs de weg in hun paarse ‘kantoor’ gemaakt van pallethout met daarop de foto’s van hun nieuwe boten. Er zijn vele boten te huur op Zakynthos, maar wij raden jullie het huren bij Zante rent boats zeker aan voor een fantastische dag op het water!

Pedthegreat

The two brothers are doing a great job. They care about the safety of the people renting and they care about the boats. The boat we hired for the day had life jackets, GPS tracking, flares, spare fuel and a spare engine. Failing that it even had oars! You will not need any of these items but they show the level of care the brothers put in. The boat was new and was excellent for the days travel around to ship wreck cove, blue caves and then down to Alykanas stopping for swimming and snorkeling along the way. A great day out enjoyed by the whole family and highly reccomended.

David Riley

This was probably the highlight of the holiday, we were kept well informed by dionisis regarding times and the weather forecasts from the day we booked to the time we sailed. For our trip we travelled on a small vessel with the four of us and one other couple which in these times of covid19 we felt this was a much safer option than some of the other cattle wagon type trips. Our captain for the day was a fantastic guy called Dennis who couldn’t do enough for us from pointing out all the historical facts and sights to taking us to a secluded beach for swimming and snorkeling. In all a well organised day with safety and customer satisfaction the main focus and not just a quick buck to be made here.

Last week, we rented a boat with

, and the service was simply impeccable. First of all, we got all our questions immediately answered beforehand. Secondly, they went the extra mile in arranging an additional icebox on the boat. Thirdly, they gave us the option to postpone our trip as the weather was deteriorating just slightly – but we decided to go anyway.

So, whenever you are looking for a rental boat for a boat trip around the north side of the island, we would strongly recommend

… See the picture for a quick impression of what you can see from their boat!

Melanie Bantow

If you like to book a safe experience go to the Pro’ s here. Best introduction and safety always first. Such gentle guys. Thank you for the nice memories.

Dionysus and Andreas are legends. Really welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable – both sons from a fishing family born in Zakynthos (although with a few years working in London – their English is exceptional). Nothing is too much trouble and you head out having had an excellent tutorial, so you feel safe and confident. Excellent value for money – we were recommended by a friend and Zante Rent Boats definitely delivered! They also gave us top tips on where to eat/buy good local produce. Thank you both for such a great day out and for being so lovely. Will tell all our friends to use you should they head to Zakynthos!

These guys are the best! We felt perfectly taken care of and safe because of their great instructions and tipps. We would definitely rent a boat from them again. Great experience! Greetings sebastian and Judith

Samuel Götz

Best dudes ever! Really nice brothers running this family Business with world class recommendations regarding wind, sea and places to be visitted. The boats are brand new and fast enough to see all places in one Day. Also lots of recommendations for other places on the Island. That the boat rental you are looking for!

Best boat trips on the island We had high expectations before the trip and it didn’t disappoint. Captain Andy was superb. My wife, myself and my children (9 & 14) had the times of our lives. Saw wild turtle and as a bonus dolphin’s. Beaches were beautiful too. Will definitely book up again

Highly recommended Had a fantastic time on the trip to the shipwreck, blucaves and back. We were picked up from our hotel and dropped of at the end of the trip in a very nice and clean VIP car. The captain, Andy, was very friendly and he even saved my hat when it fell in the sea.....The trip was worthwhile given the month of the season too. I cannnot recommend it enough....

Vip feeling! Super boattrip We did have an amazing trip with Seascape Vip cruises. We visited the shipwreck which was very impressive, and later we went to the blue caves and other paradise beaches where we could swim and chill. In the afternoon we got homemade snacks and champagne, sitting in the sun. We had so much luck because there were dolphins in the sea while we were sailing, so we went after them to see them.The service was very good, with a nice captain who told us a lot about the island and made us feel very comfortable. It was a great experience we can recommand for sure!

“ This was a great day out with our guide Theodore who was friendly and helpful, giving us lots of information about the area and answering all our questions… … The minibus tour was great but the highlight of the trip had to be the boat excursion to Navagio (shipwreck) beach where you get to spend an hour before being taken to the blue caves. I was amazed how far they took the boat into the caves, we were lucky that at one of the caves the water was not too choppy and we were able to take a quick swim here too… … After the boat trip there is a quick lunch stop at a local taverna which was okay – my wife says her prawns were amazing. A quick stop at the oldest olive tree on the island and then back to be dropped if at our accommodation. A thoroughly good day and I felt it was great value. “ GetYourGuide Traveler from UK (Read More  Reviews ) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The mix of the bus and boat was definitely a bonus because we were able to see the island from two different viewpoints.

It was a great trip! We were picked up from our hotel and taken to the port, where our captain Stella welcomed us on the boat. We were fortunate to spot the first turtle 5 minutes into the cruise. After a few minutes of watching the turtle, we went for a ride around the coastline. We had a 20-minute stop for swimming. After, we headed to the turtle-shape island Marathonisi to see the caves and for another swimming stop (1h), this time at the beach. We still had a few minutes left on our way back, so Stella showed us Laganas beach. We were very lucky to spot another turtle! When the cruise was over, we were dropped off at our hotel.

This is a tour around Kefalonia. It contains lots of transportation, via ferry, bus and even more bus. It focuses on the sights, skipping swimming and beach-strolling. This must be understood. If you know this, you will have a wonderful time, like I did. I especially wanted to do it like this, as I have spent my other days on the beach and in the sea. No need to do it again here. For me the highlights were the visit to the monastery (I love beautiful churches) and Melissani lake (simply, it is magical), the rest was just bonus (do not miss the Kefalonian meat pie for lunch). Our Guide explained us history, culture and many more, without getting boring, did it in two languages, I enjoyed listening both explanations. GetYourGuide Tour Participant (READ MORE REVIEWS )

Zakynthos is a beautiful island located in the Ionian Sea, and it’s known for its crystal-clear waters, stunning beaches, and natural wonders. One of the most popular attractions in Zakynthos is Navagio Beach, also known as Shipwreck Beach, which is known for its picturesque landscape and the rusted remains of a shipwrecked freighter that has been stranded on the beach since 1980. Another must-see attraction is the Blue Caves, which are natural sea caves carved into the cliffs that line the island’s coastline. Visitors can take a boat tour to explore the caves and admire the stunning shades of blue and turquoise of the water. Cameo Island is another popular spot that’s worth a visit. This small and charming island is connected to the mainland by a narrow strip of sand, and it’s a perfect place to relax and soak up the sun. Finally, the island’s capital, Zakynthos town, is also a must-see. It has a rich history and is home to many beautiful buildings, including the Venetian Castle, the Solomos and Kalvos Museum, and the Saint Dionysios Church. The town also has a lively nightlife, with many bars and restaurants to enjoy.

Zakynthos offers a wide range of tours that allow visitors to explore the island’s stunning natural beauty and experience its rich culture and history.

The best way to see Navagio Beach, also known as Shipwreck Beach, is through a boat tour. There are both private and large group tours available, depending on your preference. A boat tour allows you to get up close to the iconic shipwreck and explore the crystal clear waters and stunning cliffs that surround the beach. Swimming at the beach is also an option if you prefer to get closer to the water. Another option to see Navagio Beach is to visit the viewpoint at the top of the cliff. This viewpoint offers a panoramic view of the beach and its surroundings, and it’s a great option for those who prefer to stay on land.

The peak tourist season in Zakynthos is from June to August when the weather is the hottest, and the island is crowded with tourists. During this time, the beaches and restaurants are bustling with activity, and there are plenty of events and festivals taking place. If you prefer a quieter experience, the shoulder seasons of May and September are a great time to visit. The weather is still warm and sunny, but the crowds are thinner, and the prices are more reasonable. The off-season from October to April is the quietest time on the island, and many businesses close down during this period. However, the island’s mild winter climate makes it a great destination for winter sun-seekers, and there are plenty of cultural events and festivals to enjoy during this time.

The water around Navagio Beach, also known as Shipwreck Beach, often has an electric light blue color due to the numerous sulfurous caves around the beach. The sulfur that is present in these caves can radiate into the water when the sea level rises, creating a beautiful blue glow. This phenomenon is especially visible during the early morning and late afternoon hours when the light hits the water at a certain angle. Visitors to Navagio Beach can take advantage of this unique photo opportunity and capture stunning images of the blue glowing water, adding to the already impressive beauty of the beach.

The story behind the Shipwreck Beach

The history of the Zakynthos Shipwreck Beach has always been full of contradictions and mysteries. The complete and detailed reportage by Sotiris Skouloudis puts an end to all the rumors and gossip that have created an aura of mystery around one of the most emblematic shipwrecks in the world. The reportage is the result of many months of research in four countries (Greece, Italy, Tunisia and Malta). During these months the data, autopsies and testimonies of the subjects involved in the 1980 events that led the ship “ Panagiotis ” to shipwreck on the coast of Zakynthos were analyzed. Thanks to the testimonies of nine crew members, of which seven were Greeks and two Italians, it was possible to reconstruct the history of the Shipwreck Beach.

The 13th September 1980 the merchant ship “Panagiotis”, was anchored in Kefalonia at the port of Argostoli, preparing to set sail for the Piraeus port of Athens. But at the last minute the plan changes. The owner and captain seem to be making an under-the-counter deal with the Camorra and the ship sails to a destination off the coast of Tunisia to collect 1,895 boxes, each containing 50 packs of cigarettes. During the voyage the ship “Panagiotis” passes through the control of the Italian coast guard off the coast of Naples, but no irregularities are detected. Shortly thereafter, two Italians board the ship, playing the role of intermediaries and controllers, to ensure that the cargo from Africa reaches Italy. Having reached the Tunisian coasts, the Panagiotis ship docks next to the “San Giorgio” boat where it transshipped the 1,895 boxes. At this point the Greek captain, on the pretext that the ship’s ticket has not been paid by the Italian partners, in agreement with the owner, takes the two Italians hostage and the ship begins to head towards Greek territorial waters, with destination still unknown (it seems that the captain previously tried to obtain an additional $ 16,000 from his Italian partners). According to the testimony of Vartakos, a member of the crew, the cargo would not have been stolen from the Italians adding “We were back in Greece waiting for them to pay for the ticket”.

The Shipwreck

During the return voyage the engine is giving some trouble and, on the evening of Octorber 1st, the ship “Panagiotis” becomes unmanageable off Zakynthos. The weather is bad and the wind is strong. Most of the crew sleeps inside the ship. The winds push the “Panagiotis” towards the rocks of the steep bay of Zakynthos. The radio emits one last SOS, before the batteries run out and stop working. Then a naval rocket is launched into the air, but it is not seen by anyone.

A description of the dramatic moments before the collision. “At 04:30 on 02/10/1980 I woke up from a jolt and saw that the boat was crashing into the rocks. I shouted to the captain to drop anchor so that the ship could remain standing. He replied not to do anything. The boat pushed by the sea ran aground – we had thrown two lifeboats overboard before it ran aground. I woke up just before grounding, that’s why we were saved. Pilos and I went down to the engine room and our efforts helped the ship to turn 10 ° and the result was that the ship avoided the rocks so we ran aground slowly on the sand”. It should be noted that the ship’s cook, although he had orders to the contrary, released the two imprisoned Italians in time to be rescued together with the others. “They are people too,” he replied to the commander when he began cursing him for this action.

Shipwrecked in Zakynthos

The whole crew, lucky in their misfortune, is on an unknown beach, in the dark, but they are all fine. “We took some blankets to sleep and the next day we discovered that the cargo had taken water. With the first light of dawn, “We brought 280 cartons of cigarettes ashore, which we covered with the ship’s tarpaulin”. However, the weather continues to be bad and walking access to the beach is impossible. The nine men remain on the beach and wait two whole days, unable to move either by land or on the stormy sea with their rafts. “We stayed there until 03/10 in the morning, when the sea calmed down and then we left with the lifeboat”. After six hours of paddling, we reached a bay to the north. “The captain had previously ordered them to save what remains of the hold of the ship which is now full of water and under the protests of the two Italians they unload 280 crates on the beach.

The report of the shipwreck

The nine men, in two “installments” and with the rafts, reach another bay, and from there the village of Volimes and then to the port to report the event. In the meantime, news of the shipwreck has already spread. During the bus ride, one of them manages to throw the revolver (which has never been found) from the window into a field. It should be noted that the 280 surviving crates remained unchecked on the beach. The customs arrived at the beach a few days later, however, only 28 were found. The crew reported that during their stay on the beach they had noticed at least two boats, at a distance of 300 meters, observing them from a distance. The rest of the boxes were allegedly taken by the locals.

So, as is well known, in the space of a few years this accident that left irreparable marks on one of the most beautiful bays of Zakynthos has made this bay famous all over the world.
