We had an amazing family trip to turtle island and caves and made lots of lovely memories. Our skipper was very friendly and nothing was too much trouble for him. The booking process was quick and easy. I would highly recommend.

Redon and his team are amazing. We had Dennis as our captain and he’s been on the island for 25 years and took us to all the perfect spots.

Extremely friendly skipper who showed us all of the very best spots around the island. We nearly decided to rent the boat without him, but are very glad we did in the end!

Absolutely amazing! We had the best day EVER. We hired the boat from 9:30am to 4:30pm and had a captain for the day. He knew exactly where to take us to swim in the most beautiful spots. I highly recommend!

Had a lovely full island cruise, great and unique experience, provided by a great team our host and driver were very accommodating and kept an eye on our needs, clean and good boat with comfy sun loungers on front, nice breaks for swimming and sight seeing and got great photos from our host who took some great candid shots at our request. The only downside was that the SUP was broken last week and was not fixed in time for our visit so we could not paddleboard but not completely within the hosts control. As a couple it was fun and intimate with good interactions when needed from crew. Took us to some very secluded spots and allowed us to throw our drone up for some wonderful sky shots of our trip. Thank you to our captain and host. Would recommend and would book again wish we could have kept our visit going even longer.

The area were you can sail is small enough to fully explore in one day, and is very beautiful with multiple swimming/snorkeling spots.

We saw Marathonisi (turtle island) as well as the Keri Caves. We went swimming on both places. Amazing view and incredible places to swim. Must see for everyone.

Zakynthos is generally very crowded, including the bays where you can stop...people squeeze into every little gap.
Zakynthos ist allg. Sehr überlaufen somit auch die Buchten in denen man halten kann...es wird sich gequetscht in jede kleinste Lücke.

The area north from Agios Nikolaos is amazing. We ran out of time a bit toward the end because I needed to catch a plane, but it’s great to spend the day.
