• HOW IT WORKS
• 10 DAY FLOTILLA

Zakynthos (Greek: Ζάκυνθος), the third largest of the Ionian Islands, covers an area of 410 km2 (158 sqmi) and its coastline has roughly 123 km length (76 mi). The island is named after Zakynthos, the son of a legendary Arcadian chief Dardanus. The name, like all similar names ending in -nthos, is pre-Mycenaean or Pelasgian in origin.

Zakynthos with its thriving tourism industry, can offer amazing sailing moments, and in order to capture them you will need the best yachts that can take you there… ours.

Sailing Holidays in Zakynthos

Zakynthos (Italian: Zante), besides Kythira, the southernmost island of the Ionian Islands, lies off the west coast of the Peloponnese. The western half of the island is occupied by a karstic plateau rising to 758 m, and the eastern half is occupied by a fertile and intensively cultivated alluvial plain with a luxuriant growth of vegetation. With its beautiful scenery and excellent bathing beaches making it the perfect setting for sailing, Zakynthos is very popular among yacht charterers and tourists in general. The big harbor of Zakynthos has a marina on the side of the jetty, where you can find any supply you might need for yourselves or your yacht. Sailing around the island, you will find many beaches to inspect, including the world-famous Navagio beach (Shipwreck Bay), a good anchorage with sandy bottom. The equally renowned Blue Caves are only accessible by boat, and in order to visit them, you should anchor in Agios Nikolaos bay and go there with your tender, tying to a small quay. In this area there are chilly underwater springs, ideal to dive in and explore the seabed. As you sail, watch out for the rare loggerhead turtles, “ Caretta caretta” , heading mainly towards the southern beaches of Zakynthos, Laganas in particular, to lay their eggs.

History of Zakynthos

Since the time of Homer, the island has been known by the name it still bears, said to derived from the wild hyacinth (Hyacinthus orientalis L.). Achaeans and Arcadians settled there since then, and soon developed the island into a center of trade and seafaring, whose in­fluence extended as far as the Iberian Peninsula, when they found­ed the col­ony of Za­kan­tha, later known as Saguntum.

Zakynthos was occupied by the Turks in 1479, but recovered two years later by the Venetians, who held it until 1797. The island has preserved an Italian and Venetian stamp, yet its eventful history and the major earthquakes of 1515 and 1953 destroyed most old buildings. Adding to these earthquakes, in 2018 there was a cliff collapse in the beach of Navagio (Shipwreck beach).

Ports and Local Amenities

The port of Zakynthos provides good shelter from the prevailing north-west winds, though, with a strong southerly, it is better to anchor in the south-west.

You should be careful in order to avoid the little reef (marked by a red buoy) just east of the entrance of the harbour. You should also note that there are few unlit mooring buoys towards the south-east of the harbour. The proposed marina is still not finished.

The Vromi bay is a deep inlet and the only anchorage on the west side of the island. In north-west or west winds, it provides good shelter, but you should still be aware of kat­abatic gusts.

Above the town, there are the remains of a Venetian Castle, which is believed to have collapsed in the 1515 earthquake.

The most beautiful beach of Zakynthos, one of the five or six most photographed beaches of all Greece, is called Navagio (Shipwreck beach), and is accessible only by sea, giving you the idea of hugeness and perfection. However you should be careful while getting closer, or attempting to anchor there, since there was a cliff colapse in September of 2018.

You can use your own boat and sail towards the Blue Caves. They consist of particular geologic formations giving life to a succession of caves along the North-West coast of the island, starting soon after Agios Nikolaos to end near Skinari Cape.

Popular Destinations

Zakynthos, also known as Zante, is a lush island with diverse beaches. Its 406 sq. km area and 123 km coastline offer sandy coves in the southeast and rugged cliffs in the west. The Venetians dubbed it "Fioro di Levante" due to its 7,000+ flower species. As the third-largest Ionian island, it's internationally recognized as "Zante." Legend traces its first inhabitant to Zakynthos, with an ancient acropolis later becoming a Venetian fort site.

Ithaca, also known as Ithaki, is a breathtaking island adorned with lush greenery and forests. Renowned as the mythical home of Odysseus, its charms captivate every visitor, making them fall in love with the island. Ithaca boasts stunning beaches with smooth white pebbles or vibrant sands nestled among verdant trees, gracefully meeting the crystal-clear emerald waters of the Ionian Sea. This picturesque paradise, sparkling under the Mediterranean Greek sun, creates an idyllic and enchanting scenery.

As the largest of the Ionian Islands, Cephalonia boasts beaches typical of the region: pristine blue-green waters, soft sands, and lush surrounding trees. Argostoli, its bustling capital, hosts a busy port frequented by yachts and boats year-round. Despite the 1953 earthquake devastating much of the Ionian Islands, Fiskardo in northern Cephalonia remained untouched. Efforts to preserve its Venetian architecture and harbour have lent it a charming atmosphere. With Venetian-style buildings and seafront restaurants, Fiskardo stands as a beautiful and must-visit destination.

Lefkada, the fourth largest among the Ionian Islands, derives its name from the Greek word "lefko," meaning white, inspired by the white rocks encircling the island. Lefkada offers a blend of everything a visitor seeks. The island boasts stunning beaches with crystalline turquoise waters, soft sands, and ample trees providing refreshing air and shade throughout.

This diminutive gem, the smallest inhabited island in the Ionian Sea, falls under the jurisdiction of Lefkada. Like its neighbor Kalamos, it maintains a connection to the Aitoloakarnania coast. Its dense greenery nearly kisses the sea, creating a unique haven untouched by the hustle and bustle. With minimal tourist infrastructure, locals primarily engage in fishing, navigation, and agriculture, preserving the island's tranquil essence. Nature thrives here, with frequent dolphin sightings in the surrounding seas, adding to the island's enchanting allure.

After, we headed to the turtle-shape island Marathonisi to see the caves and for another swimming stop (1h), this time at the beach.

There are 118 steps down into Drogorati Cave so if you are unsteady on your feet you might like to relax and sit out this part of the tour.

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 )

Here are some answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about the Zakynthos boat tours:

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. One of the most popular tours is the Glass Bottom Speed Boat Shipwreck Beach and Blue Caves & Viewpoint, which takes visitors on a thrilling boat ride to see the island’s famous shipwreck and the stunning Blue Caves. The tour also includes a stop at a viewpoint that offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the coastline. Another great tour option is the Full Day Small Group Tour to Navagio Beach, the Blue Caves & View Points. This tour takes visitors to some of the most beautiful and iconic spots on the island, including the famous Navagio Beach, the Blue Caves, and several stunning viewpoints. For those who prefer a more private experience, the Private Speed Boat Trip to Shipwreck Beach & Blue Caves is an excellent choice. This tour allows visitors to customize their itinerary and enjoy a personalized experience with a knowledgeable guide. The tour includes stops at both Shipwreck Beach and the Blue Caves, as well as other scenic spots along the coast. Overall, whether you prefer a group tour or a private excursion, there are plenty of options in Zakynthos that offer an unforgettable experience.

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 viewpoint can be accessed by car or on foot, and it’s a popular spot for taking photos. Ultimately, the best way to experience Navagio Beach depends on your personal preference. A boat tour is ideal for those who want to experience the beach up close and take a dip in the turquoise waters. On the other hand, swimming at the beach is a great option for those who want to fully immerse themselves in the beauty of the beach. Finally, the viewpoint is a great option for those who prefer to enjoy the beach from a distance and take in the breathtaking views of the coastline.

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.

Internationally known as “Zante” (its Italian name), postcard-worthy Zakynthos is one of the best Greek islands to visit . The third-largest island of the Ionian Sea (after Corfu and Kefalonia), this little slice of paradise is a place where limestone cliffs crash down to transparent turquoise waters, and where the southern side of the island never sleeps, throwing wild parties at its all-night bars and clubs.

It’s a place where you can be finding your zen on an exotic beach with sugar-fine sand one hour, away from all the worries of the world (and away from any tourists too), and be slingin’ back tequila shots and dancing on tables in a boozy British backpacker bar the next.

With its lush fertile valleys and regular temperate climate, Zakynthos’ landscape is as varied as it is beautiful. The island’s flora and fauna are also quite diverse, with over 7,000 colorful and curious species in total – some of which are found nowhere else in the world.

Naturally, as an island, you’ll find no shortage of top-notch beach and boat tours in Zakynthos. However, with so many different types on offer – departing from different places, with different themes, different price points, and different inclusions – it can be hard to know where to start.

On the one hand, you can jump on and off the water in just a couple of hours with a quick highlight reel of the island’s most coveted beaches, coves, snorkeling spots, and viewpoints on a catamaran or sailboat, learning plenty about the area along the way from local guides.

On the flip side, if time is no enemy and you just want to soak in all there is about this unique Ionian island, there are full-day options that will let you do just that, with allocated time to snorkeling, sunbathing, exploring seaside villages, and a whole lot more.

You can also find boat tours in Zakynthos to suit every budget, whether you’re looking for a high-end luxury experience or something a little more low-key and affordable.

To help make your decision easier (and to ensure you don’t end up on a tour that’s not quite right for you – although, admittedly, it’s hard to go wrong), we’ve gone ahead and put together a list of the most popular boat tours in Zakynthos, as well as some essential need-to-knows about each.

Ready to jump on board? Let’s go!

A notorious hotspot for adorable Loggerhead turtles, the National Marine Park stretches along the south coast of the island, all the way from the promontory of Marathia’s Cape to the stunning beach of Gerakas – and, as a 135-square-kilometer wildlife haven, it should be atop every animal-lover and nature enthusiast’s Zakynthos itinerary.

As well as being one of the best places in Greece to swim with turtles, the park is also home to an array of other incredible marine life, including dolphins, monk seals, sea eagles, and countless different fish species of all shapes and sizes.

What’s more, the clear turquoise waters make for some of the best snorkeling in Zakynthos. Equipment is provided on most boat tours, so even if you don’t have your own, you can still jump in and explore the underwater world at your leisure, at beautiful spots like the Golden nesting beach on the paradise island of Marathonisi.

But, if you prefer to stay dry, the glass-bottom boats offer a unique way to see everything the park has to offer without getting wet.

The best way to explore the National Marine Park is on a half-day (or full, if you want to combine it with other activities) boat tour from Zakynthos Town or Laganas, which will take you along the coast, stopping at various snorkeling spots, beaches, and lookout points along the way – including the Keri caves (accessible only by sea with private boats or tourist excursions) and the famous and Insta-worthy rocky arches.

Prices for boat tours of the National Marine Park start at around €25 per person, and, since the National Marine Mark was created in order to protect the sensitive ecosystem, spots are limited, so make sure you book in advance!

Hot tip: If you’re departing from Laganas, after your tour winds up and you’re dropped back at your hotel (win!), take an hour or two to explore the History War Museum, a very different kind of attraction but one that’s definitely worth a visit.

2 – Navagio Shipwreck Beach / Smugglers Cove

Surrounded on three sides by magnificent yet intimidating limestone cliffs, some towering well over two hundred meters high, and with a sandy beach that’s only accessible by boat, it’s no wonder that the Navagio Shipwreck Beach (a.k.a Smugglers Cove) is one of Zakynthos’ most popular tourist attractions.

The dramatic landscape and clear turquoise waters make for some breathtaking photos, but, even if you’re not a pro photographer, the simply stunning setting is guaranteed to take your breath away.

According to local legend, the shipwreck – the Panayiotis – was a smuggling vessel that ran aground in the 1980s while carrying contraband cigarettes and alcohol for the Italian mafia – hence the area’s nickname of Smugglers Cove.

The ship wrecked ashore, and the crew abandoned it as they fled from the pursuing navy. However, there are several different versions of the story circulating (including one involving terrible storms), so it’s hard to say which is the truth.

What is certain, however, is that the shipwreck has become an integral part of Zakynthos’ identity, and a must-see for anyone visiting the island.

There are several different ways to get to Navagio Shipwreck Beach on the remote northwestern side of the island, but they all involve the water: travel by boat from Zakynthos Town, Porto Vromi )on the west coast), or on a longer route from Laganas.

The journey, especially those departing from Zakynthos Town, is stretched to be a full-day affair, passing by the resort areas of Tsilivi, Alykanas, and Alikes along the way with spectacular views to boot, and then passed Skinari, the northernmost part of the island signposted by its famous lighthouse.

Once you’re at Smugglers Cove, take some time to relax on the beach and take in the incredible views, before heading back to your hotel or resort. Not before you learn a little about the area along the way and take a dip into the warm waters, of course.

Prices for boat tours to Smugglers Cove start at around €35 per person, and, since spots are limited, it’s a good idea to book in advance.

As a little bonus, this boat tour (like most of those we’ll dive into) includes hotel pickup and drop-off in selected hotels in the major resort hubs of Laganas, Kalamaki, Argassi, Tsilivi, Zante town, Kipseli, Alykes, and Alykanas.

3 – Blue Caves

Arguably the most picturesque spot on the coastline of Zakynthos, the Blue Caves – justifiably dubbed for their electric blue water – are a series of stunning sea caves and twisting rock arches accessible only by boat that have been formed over many years by the erosion of the limestone cliffs.

Not just one spot but rather a series in the one area, the best way to explore the Blue Caves is on a boat tour.

These typically depart from Agios Nikolaos Port in Volimes or Alykes Beach, and will take you on a winding journey around the coast of Zakynthos, past secluded beaches and coves, before arriving at the caves themselves – where you can swim, snorkel, dive into the magical waters, or simply take in the view from the bow of the boat.

If you’re feeling adventurous (and have a head for heights), there are even tours that will let you jump off the boat and into the water below – an experience you won’t forget any time soon!

A notable hotspot for divers too, the underwater darkness takes a magical twist, interrupted by the dancing of light that dyes the waters with turquoise shades, creating an imposing effect that you won’t find in many other spots around the world.

The biggest cave is called Kianoun, and it’s just one of the many in this long chamber of sea caves along the northwest coast of the island.

Sitting between Agios Nikolaos and the Skinari Cape, this is an area of outstanding natural beauty (with pebble beaches, and towering cliffs, that are impossible to do justice to in words – you’ll just have to see it for yourself.

If you’re looking to tick off a handful of the main attractions in one go, the good news is that the Blue Caves are usually part of an organized boat tour that also includes the Shipwreck Beach (see #2), plenty of time for swimming and snapping that like-magnet of an Instagram photo.

Hot tip: if you have the flexibility to choose a timeslot that suits you or rent your own boat, the blue caves are best appreciated at sunrise or sunset, when vibrant blues contrast with hard oranges and reds.

4 – Kefalonia day tour

An oenophile’s heaven on earth, and a magnet for nature lovers with its golden-sand beaches, verdant mountains, and lush greenery, Kefalonia is the biggest island in the Ionian Sea; sitting west of mainland Greece and just a short ferry ride from Zakynthos, it welcomes many a Zakynthos traveler in search of a day-trip getaway.

Crowned by Mount Ainos, peaking above the clouds at 1,628 meters high, and with Myrtos Beach’s mile-and-a-half long arc of white sand regularly appearing on lists of the world’s best beaches, Kefalonia is an outdoor playground waiting to be explored.

While you’ll never run out of the things to do on this paradise island (which is exactly why some vacationers choose to stay a few days here as well as on Zakynthos), you can easily experience the lay of the land with a highlights tour that will introduce you to the main sights, sounds and tastes of Kefalonia in just one day.

Departing from Zakynthos Town in the morning, you’ll board a ferry bound for the island’s capital Argostoli; here, your tour guide will whisk you away on an air-conditioned coach to some of the most coveted attractions on the island, whisking you through various resort area that plays host to some of the most beautiful beaches on Kefalonia including Makris Gialos and Platis Gialos.

Camera at the ready; on most day trips you’ll visit the 16th-century monastery of St. Gerassimos near the inland village of Valsamata (home to the tomb of the patron saint of Kefalonia); explore the 150-million-year-old Drogorati Cave, admiring the remarkable stalactites and stalagmites that line its floors and ceiling, and cruise around Melissani Lake and Cave, which you might have heard before as the Cave of the Nymphs.

A stunning feat of Mother Nature, this cave sits just outside the east coast village of Sami, and regularly dazzles visitors with its crystal-clear waters and natural light that filters in through an opening in the roof of the cave.

Depending on which particular day (or multi-day) excursion you book, odds are that you’ll have some time to see the sights or relax in the historic capital town Argostoli, as well as enjoy a traditional Greek lunch in the quaint harbor town of Agia Efimia.

Not to be overlooked is a visit to picturesque Assos – sitting just over 35 kilometers north of Argostoli, it’s one of the most photographed villages in Greece with its hilltop Venetian-style castle and prettily painted buildings.

Admire the views and learn about the island’s history before continuing to Myrtos Beach for some swimming, sunbathing, and that all-important Instagram photo.

And while the order of the activities might change depending on your tour of choice, you can catch all of this before returning to Zakynthos in the early evening on a pleasant one-hour ferry ride.

5 – Marathonisi day tour

A small, uninhabited island located just a few kilometers from the shore of Zakynthos, Marathonisi is a popular day-trip destination for travelers staying on the mainland.

An easy boat ride from Zante, and a popular one to boot (seriously, the photo says it all), Marathonisi is best known for its striking landscape; a small, sandy islet that’s home to a tiny church, and ringed by a much larger rocky outcrop with sea-plunging cliffs skirting the sides of the island.

The latter is the perfect spot for some cliff jumping if you’re feeling brave (just be sure to heed the signs that warn of danger and ask your crew for advice), or simply to take in the views and snap some photos.

Plus, with the chance to pass through the two big Myzithres Rocks, and swim in a hidden bay near the Keri peninsula, you’ll certainly have your moment of calm away from the other tour boats.

And if you’re looking to add a little more excitement to your Marathonisi experience, many boat tour operators will also offer up the opportunity to swim with loggerhead turtles – an absolute must-do for any animal lover visiting Zakynthos!

Whether you choose to go it alone or book an organized tour, be sure to bring along plenty of sunscreen, water, and snacks, as there are no shops or restaurants on the island.

That said, most boat tours worth their salt will have refreshments and local snacks available to purchase throughout the day, with some of the more comprehensive tours offering a hearty and authentic lunch in between all the loggerhead turtle selfies and sunbathing. What’s not to love?

Typically lasting around 8 hours (although you can find shorter ones too, if you need to), a Marathonisi day trip sells itself as one of the best boat tours in Zakynthos. And with the opportunity to spot a wild dolphin or two too, complimenting all of those turtle selfies, most travelers walk away grinning ear to ear.

6 – From Laganas: South Zakynthos

While you’ll uncover a treasure trove of sparkling inlets, sandy coves, and dramatic cliffs no matter where you venture to or which of the best boat trips in Zakynthos you book, those operating out of the lively resort town of Laganas tend to focus on the island’s more southern coastline. And what a majestic, wildlife-abundant coastline it is!

With several different itineraries to choose from – including everything from daytime excursions to sunset cruises and private charters – there’s sure to be a tour that suits your needs.

One of the most popular boat tours departing from Laganas is the Keri coast Cruise, which takes travelers on a journey through some of Zakynthos’ most iconic natural sights – think Marathias Cape, the Keri Caves, the truly mesmerizing Plakaki Beach, and (if your boat trip goes this far) the natural Korakonissi rock pools.

Typically lasting around half a day, these relaxing tours whisk will you around the coast to the key landmarks, while also allowing plenty of time to swim in the crystal-clear waters, sunbathe on the catamaran (or sailboat) deck, and soak in the beauty of the scenery at your leisure.

And with at least a couple of stops along the way for snorkeling (with all equipment provided), as well as refreshments on board (trust us, you’ll appreciate them – snorkeling is much more tiring than it looks), this family-friendly tour is a wonderful way to get the lay of the land without too much moving around or organizing!

After you arrive back at Laganas, unless you’ve opted for a sunset tour, there’ll be plenty of sunlight left to explore the town on foot.

With hidden gems around every corner, you could be checking out the History War Museum, meeting the local furry residents at the Little Farm petting zoo, digging into a meal at family-run eateries like the Toad in the Hole restaurant, or hitting up the bars on Cameo Island – all before pulling up a chair at the Cheers Beach Bar for a mighty refreshing beverage with a mighty impressive sunset to boot.

While you’ll uncover all kinds of pre-organized and hassle-free tour options in Zakynthos, some travelers prefer to set sail on their own terms. And luckily for them, renting a boat in Zakynthos is incredibly easy!

Whether you’re hoping to rent a small motorboat or yacht for the day, or are interested in something a little more long-term (we’re talking days rather than hours), there are plenty of reputable companies (and individuals) operating throughout the island that will be able to help you out.

In most cases, all you’ll need is your boating license and to be over the age of 18 – although some places in Greece may require you to be 21 or older, if you plan on venturing a little beyond the island.

Prices will vary depending on what kind of vessel you choose, how long you’re planning on renting it for, and the time of year (expect things to be a little more expensive during high season – in other words, the summer season), but you can typically expect to pay around €80-120 for a little speedboat or motorboat rental, and upwards of €350 for a yacht.

And when we say upwards, with some multi-level luxury yachts with all the bells and whiles and room for 10 people to sleep, or your very own glass-bottom boat (with a captain included so you don’t have to worry about a thing), you could easily pay upwards of 1000 euro a day if you really wanted to. Although when you divide those costs among a large group, it isn’t as intimidating as it might seem.

Of course, if you’re hoping to rent a boat without a license (or are under 18), there are still plenty of options available too! In Zakynthos, as in most places in Greece, travelers can sign up for so-called “license-free” boat rentals. These tours allow those without licenses to captain their own vessel around Zakynthos’ coastline.

Or, if you prefer to lean into the pure relaxation and vacation mode, a plethora of boat hires include captains too – so you can simply sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.

The entire island of Zakynthos is filled with natural beauty, but some of the most impressive sights are only accessible by boat. While you’re able to book a boat tour from an array of places, including you’ll find the vast majority of tour operators located in or around Laganas.

Laganas is not only one of the most popular tourist areas on Zakynthos but is also where you’ll find the island’s largest natural harbor. And, because many of the best boat trips in Zakynthos depart from here, it’s the perfect place to start your exploration of Zakynthos by sea!

Whether you’re hoping to go swimming with turtles, explore hidden caves, or simply relax on a secluded beach, there’s sure to be a tour departing from Laganas that’s perfect for you. Plus, as a bonus, many of the island’s best bars and restaurants are located nearby – so you can refuel after your day of exploring!

A couple of other popular places include Zakynthos town and Keri Beach. The former is the island’s main port, and where you’ll likely arrive if ferrying into the island.

Full of charm and history after being rebuilt after a fire, Zante Town lures travelers in with its traditional Greek architecture and stunning waterfront views (hot tip: head up to one of the many restaurants and cafe-bars in Bohali for great hilltop vistas).

Keri Beach, on the other hand, is a little more off the beaten path but no less beautiful. Located on Zakynthos’ southeastern coast, this beach is known for its dramatic cliffs, crystal-clear waters, and secluded atmosphere – making it the perfect place to escape the hubbub of the main tourist areas.

Despite the south being the most common departure point for the best boat tours in Zakynthos, you’ll find a few tour operators located outside of the Laganas and Zante Town area as well, spread across the less-populated and underrated northern side.

If you’re staying in Koroni in the north, for example, you’ll find a few companies offering boat tours departing from the nearby harbor. While these tours might not be quite as convenient as those departing from Laganas (after all, you’ll have to travel to Koroni first), they’re still a great option if you’re hoping to avoid the crowds.

The bottom line is, no matter where you are on Zakynthos, especially considering the fact that the pre-organized tours will usually pick you up from your hotel (and if it’s not already included in the price, can often be requested for an extra fee), you are never far from a great boat tour!

How much? The short answer is that it depends. Hiring a private boat for the day will, of course, cost more than booking a spot on a public (albeit likely small group_ tour – but it’s worth considering if you’re hoping for a more personalized experience. For those looking to stay within their budget, though, there are plenty of affordable options available too!

One-day boat tours typically start at around €30 per person but can cost significantly more (or less) depending on the operator and what’s included in the price.

For example, some companies might include lunch or drinks in the price while others will charge extra for these amenities. Additionally, as we touched on earlier, many tour operators also offer captain services – meaning you won’t have to worry about any of the directions.

If you still want to book a tour, but prefer something that’s more private – maybe a romantic evening? – then it’s expected that you’ll be looking at costs in the hundreds of euros rather than the tens.

Remember, however, that if you split the costs between friends and family (or strangers you met at the hostel the night before), then it can actually be comparable (and sometimes even cheaper per capita) if you book a private tour. This is because you’ll be paying for the boat and the captain, rather than just one person’s spot on the deck.

A couple of things to keep in mind:

First of all, even some of the best boat trips in Zakynthos (guided, that is) will likely not include gratuity, so be sure to budget accordingly.

And while a handful of trips will include plenty of delicious snacks and refreshing drinks, the more budget-friendly options tend to be bare-bones with an onboard bar from which you can purchase.

Of course, Greece is relatively affordable compared to most European destinations, so even if you want to buy a few Mythos, it won’t break the bank.

The other thing to note is, if you’re renting your own boat, check beforehand to see if they’ll charge extra for gas. When checking, it’s worth asking how much a full tank of gas will cost before you agree to rent with them, as it will factor into the overall price.

Wondering how long you should budget for your boat tour? Most tours will last between three and four hours, giving you plenty of time to enjoy the views, swim in the crystal-clear waters, and soak up the Mediterranean sun.

Of course, there are always exceptions to this rule – with some private charters offering half-day or even full-day options – but generally speaking, most of the best boat trips in Zakynthos will be somewhere between three and four hours in length.

If you’re the kind of traveler who prefers the hassle-free experience where you don’t need to organize a thing from landing to takeoff, consider a multi-day island-hopping tour. Always including plenty of time on the water, these longer options come with a wide variety of itineraries and can include nearly islands like Paxos, Paxos, Antipaxos, Sivota, and Corfu, to name but a few.

When the mercury is beating down and the only relief is to jump in the pool (or sea), a boat tour is a perfect way to escape the heat of Zakynthos’ summer days. That being said, these tours can – and should – be enjoyed all throughout the year!

In springtime, when wildflowers are blooming and temperatures are starting to climb, a boat tour provides a great opportunity to get out and enjoy some of Zakynthos’ natural beauty before the crowds descend in droves come summer.

Similarly, fall is an excellent time for a boat trip as well; not only will you avoid the busiest months but you’ll also get to enjoy slightly cooler weather and possibly even see migrating birds!

And, of course, wintertime boat tours are a must as well! While you might not be able to swim in the Ionian Sea, you’ll still get to enjoy Zakynthos’ dramatic coastline, and – if you’re lucky – even see some dolphins frolicking in the waves.

Be mindful that a number of tour operators close down for the cooler winter months, so while you won’t have nearly as many tourists to deal with, your options are a little more limited than usual too.

If you want the warmest warmers; take a boat tour in summer (June through August). For the smallest crowds, journey in winter (December through February).

But, and our pick of the bunch, if you want to experience the beauty of the region, the warmth of the waters without the huge crowds – while still meeting some fellow travelers – venture out to the Greek islands in the shoulder seasons, April to May and September to October. All that said, no matter when you visit Zakynthos, there’s sure to be a boat tour that’s perfect for you!

In addition to boat tours, Zakynthos is also a great place for other water activities like swimming, snorkeling, and windsurfing.

The island’s clear waters and gentle waves make it an ideal spot for swimming, and there are plenty of beaches where you can relax and soak up the sun.

For those who want to explore the underwater world, several companies offer snorkeling tours – many of which include a stop at the famous Shipwreck Beach – and if you’re looking for something a little more active, windsurfing is also popular in Zakynthos.

For the extra daring who want to get up close and personal with the marine life at deeper levels (pun intended), a scuba diving trip might be just what you’re looking for. With several dive sites around the island, Zakynthos is a great place to explore the underwater world – and you might even get to see some turtles!

Some of the more well-known spots to don the oxygen tank and flippers are the tourist resort of Tsivili on the northern coast, St. Nicholas Beach on the southeastern arm of the island, and, of course, the coastline and natural coves found within short boating distance of Laganas.

Even if you’re never dived before, there are plenty of tour operators who offer beginner-friendly courses and tours – so there’s no excuse not to give it a try!

Whether you’re looking for a leisurely boat ride or an adrenaline-pumping water activity, Zakynthos has something for everyone.

Travel tips

• As an affordable, beautiful, and popular travel destination, Zante can tend to get a little crowded during the peak summer months (largely July and August). While some people love the party atmosphere and the larger crowds (more people equals more potential new friends, right?), for those in search of a little more tranquility, it’s advised to come to Greece is in the shoulder season (March to May or September to November) when the sea is still warm enough to swim in but tourist numbers are lower.
• If you’re looking for a party, head to Laganas beach in July and August. For a more relaxed atmosphere, try Tsilivi or Alykanas beach. And for those who want to get away from it all, there are plenty of secluded coves and beaches waiting to be explored – you just need a boat!
• While the best boat tours in Zakynthos are quintessential — you need to do at least one — be sure to spend some time exploring all the island has to offer on land as well. In Zante town, there are plenty of tavernas, shops, and bars to keep you busy, and if you’re looking for something a little more active, there are several hiking trails that wind through the island’s interior.
• Learn a few words of Greek before you go! Even if it’s just the basics, the locals are sure to appreciate the effort (and you never know, you might get some extra friendly service as a result! To kick you off, “YAH-soo!” = Hello!, “eff-kha-ri-STOE!” = Thank you!, “para-kah-LOE!” = Please!, “POH-soh KAH-nee af-TOH?”: How much does this cost?, and probably a common one, “Mee-LAH-teh ag-li-KAH” = do you speak English?
• Always carry cash. Frequently, in smaller tavernas and shops around the island, credit and debit cards are not accepted – so it’s always best to have cash on hand. While most places will have an ATM where you can withdraw money, it’s not always guaranteed – and who wants to waste valuable vacation time searching for a bank?
• Consider visiting other nearby islands. Ferry services to and from Zakynthos are frequent and relatively cheap, making it easy to add a stop at one of Greece’s other amazing islands. And even the ferry rides themselves would be considered incredible tourist attractions in any other part of the world. From Zakynthos, you can easily visit the island of Kefalonia to the north (just over an hour) or head south to the stunning Peloponnese peninsula.

Final thoughts

Having delighted many a sun-seeking traveler to this day, and with many more to be overjoyed by the food, nature, and culture for decades to come Zakynthos is an island that begs to be explored on land and sea. For the latter, it’s near impossible to think of a better way to do it than on one of the many tours departing daily from Zante’s shores.

Whether you’re after a sailboat, Catamaran, motor yacht, or something a little more unique like a glass-bottom boat or even a pirate ship – you’re sure to find the perfect tour for you.

Now all that’s left is to choose your vessel, take your pick from the best boat tours in Zakynthos, and set sail! So what are you waiting for? Grab your swimsuit and sunscreen and get ready for an unforgettable vacation on the water!

About Zakynthos

Why is Zakynthos a good sailing destination?

Sailing enthusiasts often seek destinations that offer a harmonious blend of natural beauty, historical depth, and maritime challenge. Zakynthos, nestled in the heart of the Ionian Sea, checks all these boxes and more. At Yachting.Rent, we’ve explored countless waters, and consistently, Zakynthos emerges as a beacon for sailors. Here’s our ode to why Zakynthos is an unparalleled sailing destination.

Nature’s Canvas Unveiled: Zakynthos is a masterclass in nature’s artistry. Sailors are greeted by an ever-evolving landscape, from the iconic Navagio Beach (Shipwreck Beach) – a secluded cove renowned worldwide for its dramatic cliffs and azure waters – to the ethereal Blue Caves, where the sea mirrors the sky in a dance of colors. As you chart the waters, each bay and inlet promises a new sight, making the journey as mesmerizing as the destinations.

Ideal Sailing Conditions: Zakynthos is blessed with the perfect Mediterranean climate, characterized by consistent yet gentle breezes, making it an ideal destination for both novices and seasoned sailors. The island’s strategic location ensures long sailing seasons, clear waters, and safe harbors, granting peace of mind along with adventure.

Dive into History and Myth: The waters around Zakynthos are not just rich in natural beauty but are steeped in tales of gods, legends, and bygone civilizations. As you anchor by its shores, ancient ruins beckon, each echoing tales of heroism, love, and treachery. Every cove and bay has a story, turning your sailing journey into a voyage through time.

A Melting Pot of Flavors: After a day at sea, Zakynthos invites sailors to indulge in its culinary wonders. From quaint seaside tavernas serving freshly caught seafood to traditional eateries offering local delicacies, the island promises a gastronomic journey that satiates the soul.

Endearing Ionian Hospitality: What truly sets Zakynthos apart is the warmth of its people. Their genuine hospitality, intertwined with tales of the sea, adds a personal touch to every voyage, making sailors feel not like visitors, but honored guests.

At Yachting.Rent, we believe sailing is not just about navigating waters but immersing in the essence of a place. With Zakynthos, every nautical mile offers discovery, enchantment, and memories etched in salt and sun. Join us, as we unfurl the sails and set course towards the heart of the Ionian – where Zakynthos waits, with its arms wide open.

What Choose

Sailing boat or Catamaran, what to sail in Zakynthos

Navigating the Ionian Sea around Zakynthos provides an opportunity to experience the island in a unique way, and at Yachting.Rent, we’re here to ensure you make the right choice between a sailing boat and a catamaran for your adventure.

A sailing boat offers an authentic sailing experience, perfect for those who love the feeling of being at one with the sea. These boats provide a thrill as they navigate the waves and deliver a more intimate connection with the water. They are ideal for experienced sailors seeking the traditional thrills of sailing.

On the other hand, catamarans, with their dual-hull design, are an excellent choice for those seeking stability and space. They offer larger living areas, making them great for families or larger groups. Their design also provides a smoother sailing experience, making them a popular choice for those who may be new to sailing or prefer a more laid-back journey.

Whichever you choose, our team at Yachting.Rent is ready to guide you, ensuring your yachting adventure around Zakynthos is as memorable and enjoyable as possible. Whether it’s feeling the wind in your hair on a sailing boat or enjoying the spacious comfort of a catamaran, we’re here to bring your dream voyage to life.

What You need to Know for your Cruise

Going sailing definitely is very different to when you go on holidays ashore, a mix of adventure, luxury, tranquility and excitement which can appeal to one and all!

Sailing trips are different to any other type of holiday for a number of reasons, one of the most important ones is lack of limitless space on board! The other one is that while sailing, you may end up sweating during the daytime, but feel chilly when night falls. With this in mind we present the ideal packing list for your sailing holiday so you will enjoy every moment on board and get the most out of your yachting adventure with Aegean Sea Cruises!

Essentials: Start planning your packing by selecting the right luggage! When you come on board don’t pack excessively. A duffle bag or even a back pack should be more than enough for a week’s sailing. Any hard-cased suitcase is difficult for your skipper to bring it on board and will fill up space in your cabin that you wish you had available for yourself!

For both men & women the necessary clothing you should consider bringing is:

Ladies particulars:  A couple of strap tops, few vest tops, and 5-6 t-shirts will be enough for a week. A pair of denim shorts, a couple of dresses for a night-out and underwear will be the utmost essentials for a lady on a yacht! Sandals since you’re sailing Greece are also a must!

Men particulars:  Guys, this is mostly so you don’t forget the important stuff! So, a couple of jeans or linen trousers along with a couple of shirts will be enough for looking like a yachtie when ashore! Apart from swimsuits, flip-flops, jacket and sunnies, a pair of closed shoes will be fine for when you’re about to go for a stroll & don’t forget your undies & a belt!

• 2 or more swimsuits - Flip-Flops or Light Summer Shoes definitely for when being around the sea water
• If you have boat shoes bring them, if not then a pair of sneakers will do the job getting you around in the rough paths of the Greek Islands.
• A baseball cup will protect you from the hot sun and a pair of sunglasses is essential to keep your eyes protected.
• 2-3 shorts for the 2-4 Days Cruise should be more than enough and a T-Shirt for each day will do the job for the days we sail.
• A long-sleeve shirt will help you if you need to cover up from the sun & a light jacket for the nights when the breeze brings temperature down is a must.
• Toiletries for everyone should be kept to the minimum necessary stuff and any kind of cream, lotion, sun-screen etc

4 Days : Zakynthos (Zante) - Kefalonia - Ithaki - Lefkada

Zante (Zakythos) island is the so-called “The flower of Levant”. We kick off this private and relaxing cruise with our first stop at the Blue caves where we get the chance to go in with our tender and take stunning pictures. Then we continue cruising to the famous and breathtaking shipwreck NAVAGIO, a beach that is only reachable by the sea.

Explore the beautiful islands of Zakythos  Ithaca Kefalonia Lefkada aboard a modern sailing yacht with onboard SUP for water sports and a complimentary Go-Pro camera to record your fun in the sun!

Our crew is always at your services and you may surely ask to have a lunch on a sea-view traditional taverna with high-quality local products and meals.

What our guests say.

We had an amazing experience with Pure Sea Cruises. The Captain was very helpful and gave us information about all the places that we visited. Highly Recommended

Must do while in Zakynthos! We took a boat tour and they picked us up and dropped us off in Kalamaki. The captain was very professional and drove very carefully. Beverages were provided and the shipwreck beach was particularly spectacular!

Me and my family had a wonderful cruise along the south side of the island. We spotted many turtles and had a lovely swim in the Keri Caves. The captain is very professional and made all of us feel comfortable. Would definitely recommend!

The best trip I ever had.We saw the turtles and we were super excited by those caves and those private beatches. Thank you guys for that wonderfull adventure!! Hope I'll see you next summer again!! xx

The tour was so amazing. The boat was so clean and comfy for the half day tour. Our guide was always honest with us and gave us the best advice and recommendations to make our experience as rewarding as possible. Always remember our boat trip day like something unforgettable. Thank you very much for all.

Rent a Catamaran in Zakynthos, Greece in a few minutes!

Starting location.

Sleeping guests

Cruising guests

Hiring a catamaran in Zakynthos is one of the best ways to explore its long sandy beaches and secluded coves at the tip of the Ionian Sea. With a coastline of 123 kilometers long, you can drop anchor at any moment and enjoy the chic bars and restaurants, within the beautiful countryside. Zakynthos has several picturesque marinas where you can find the ideal catamaran of your choice. You can directly contact the owners for the ideal catamaran or simply allow a BednBlue travel expert to guide you with some suggestions. 

You have plenty of options: 

You can book and hire a catamaran with a captain--or without one, if you have a license, and enjoy a one-day cruise to Marathonisi island or the shipwreck beach of Navagio. With the option to rent a catamaran, you can tour the beaches you desire with ease. You can also book a catamaran to throw a party, family reunion events, or a romantic couple trip. Finally, you can hire a luxury catamaran and visit the neighboring islands of Zakynthos, which include Kefalonia, Ithaca, and Lefkada for the most adventurous experience. 

BednBlue Guarantee

Catamaran in zakynthos.

 Zakynthos is the third largest island on the eastern part of the Ionian sea and was among the first Greek islands in Europe to be open to tourism. The island of Zakynthos was also called the Flower of the East or “Fior  di Levante” by the Venetians. The cultural influence of the Venetians has shaped the traditional spirit of Zakynthos. This is also evident from its impressive architecture, Byzantine buildings, museums, and traditional Piazzas around the island. Before you rent a catamaran in Zakynthos, you may stroll through the town and harbor; this is where you will meet locals and tourists and experience a more modern vibe. Once you are ready to hop on your yacht with your family and friends, you can avoid the crowds and enjoy an adventurous escape to the Ionian islands.  

 A catamaran rental in Zakynthos is highly recommended. For a great day cruise, you can visit the shipwreck beach and the blue caves. Catamarans are great for overnight trips; their added stability is also a big plus for families with kids. The bay of Laganas is an excellent overnight stop, offering several swimming and snorkeling opportunities. You may even spot Caretta-Caretta Turtles (also known as loggerhead sea turtles). The shallow draft of a catamaran will also allow you to anchor relatively close to the coast, where the waters become shallower; this way, you are guaranteed a secure and safe trip. 

 With your catamaran charter in Zakynthos, you can also head to the village and harbor of Frikes, in Ithaca. Here you can stop by the beach and reward yourself with an afternoon meal in a tavern ashore. From Ithaca, you can easily make some stops in Sivota, Skorpios, Spartochori, Atoko, and Tsilivi; they are all close to each other and ideal for those seeking an oasis of peace. Your yacht charter in Zante would be complete if you head towards Lefkada and then Corfu. Both islands are connected to the mainland and offer a beautiful seaside resort with sheer cliffs, top beaches with turquoise waters, traditional villages with a cosmopolitan touch, and a vibrant lifestyle that has continuously been attracting international visitors.

Opt for the freedom of renting a   boat you can drive yourself , no boat license required, enabling you to steer through these captivating waters at your own pace. Although this option doesn’t allow you to enter caves, you may anchor nearby and jump in the blue of the Ionian Sea. Alternatively, for a hassle-free experience and a chance to uncover hidden underwater wonders, consider hiring a boat with a professional captain!

Xygia Sulphur Beach

Xygia Sulphur beach is known for its tranquil white waters due to the high sulphur content from a nearby cave. The beach has a strong sulphur smell but is a very popular stop as the water is said to have healing properties and be great for the skin.  

However, how to visit Xygia beach and avoid the crowds? 

Be the captain for a day by renting a self drive motorboat you can cruise in luxury and style with Tsilivi Boat Rentals
