From booking all the way to the end of our trip Karolos was incredibly helpful. His training on operating the boat was clear and left you leaving the harbour with confidence in driving on the sea. The boat was easy to operate and came equipped with everything to make our day enjoyable. This has been the highlight of our trip to Santorini! A highly recommendable experience.

What an amazing day! We love hiring a boat when going abroad to see the island, Petros and his bother were amazing, He was ready for us when we arrived and was very knowledgeable, he told us everything we needed to know for our day out. The boat was in very good condition and was just like the image online. I would highly recommend Petros and his brother very professional company. If we can back to Santorini we will definitely be hiring a boat from Petros. Keep up the good work.
