免許不要でボートを借りてパロス島を発見

Booked boat for the day. Staff explained functions, safety and explained map that showed island, places of interest and as importantly where not to sail - ferries, rocks, etc. all very enjoyable.

Very clear instructions and good directions for the best places to visit. Plenty of room for the 6 of us. The swimming and snorkeling was absolutely fantastic!

Our family had an awesome day riding a motorboat between Paros and Antiparos in August 2025. It was so much fun to cruise around and swim off the boat whenever we “parked”. The gem swimming stop was definitely the Blue Lagoon, where we stopped twice to enjoy its crystal-clear waters. This boat day was a true highlight of our entire trip to Greece, and we highly recommend this activity. As for The Sailor's Ride boat rental company, our experience was mixed. On the positive side, the booking and registration process were quick and smooth, the instructor on the boat was friendly, and the training was clear and effective. However, the directions to the meeting point and parking were vague, with Google Maps leading us to a wrong location. The shore instructor explaining the map was rude and unfriendly, and the boat itself, while functional, could certainly benefit from some maintenance. Overall, the day on the water was unforgettable, but the company could improve its communication and equipment upkeep.

The boat was perfect for our day out on (and under) the water. The guys at the dock told us what we needed to know and we had no trouble exploring the island. Make sure to bring snorkel gear as there are plenty of fish to see.

We rented a small boat for half a day to explore the south of Paros and it was one of the highlights of our trip. The instructions were really clear and we never felt worried or unsure of what we were doing, even on a slightly windy day. It was incredible to explore the island by sea and see it from a completely different perspective. Pirates Cove was our absolute favourite, we have never seen anything like it, it completely took our breath away. We went as a couple which gave us plenty of space to relax and enjoy the experience on the small boat. If you get the chance to do this, I would highly recommend it, especially as it also led us to discover Aliki, which became our favourite town on the whole island, a real hidden gem.

They made this such an easy process, staff were so friendly and got us started and out on the water right away! Definitely recommend to get out on the water and explore all day.

Great fun in the little boat! We cruised all along the coasts of Paros and Antiparos. Beautiful scenery. The only catch was staying clear of the swimmers. There’s a narrow channel called Blue Lagoon that you must pass through and it was filled with boats and swimmers off the boats. It was a challenge but we made it through! We also wanted to see the caves close up but the entrances were blocked by boats letting off swimmers who were swimming just outside the caves. But the boat was still totally worth it - easy to operate and the water was clear, calm, and beautiful.

first of all - i would recommend this 1000x to anybody, it was very fun and unique. it was just 2 of us on the boat and i think that is the perfect amount of people. while extremely fun and beautiful, it had its scary moments. they let anybody do this, it doesnt really matter if you have experience driving a motorboat and when we went it was quite windy so the water was "choppy" (bumpy if you are a passenger, my husband felt secure in the drivers seat). due to the wind, we were limited in where we could go - they pointed out what we could and could not do on the map - one of the things that would have been nice, but we couldnt do, was exploring antiparos. we stayed on the water for about 4 hrs which was sufficient going about half as far as we could before turning back. we stopped/anchored 4 times, and got stuck 3 of those times (luckily we were able to get the anchor out from under the rocks). they were very responsive when we called the third time when we thought we'd have to untie the anchor and leave it in the water which was good, but they didnt really effectively warn against anchoring by the rocks, and we were trying to be safe by avoiding the shore so we anchored at 4 meters depth, but i think if you anchor at 3 meters you are more likely to hit sand and not have the stress of potentially being stuck. then, some of the locations they mark on the map are beach clubs, they gave us the phone # to whatsapp/call someone from these places to pick us up in a water taxi - since you cant dock or get close to the shore. we were not successful reaching out to anyone - the number didn't work, no one answered calls or messages. we saw another boat from our same rental service anchored, those people swam to shore. so if you want to grab a bite/drink i recommend bringing a waterproof bag of some sort, noodles and/or a water tube because you're swimming. I would definitely do again but its not without some scary moments!

Freedom to tour and stop at the beaches you want for as long as you want. Excellent experience and very simple to drive. We will definitely repeat it!

We had a wonderful day on the water! Our tour operator was there to greet us and recommended places to see and stop at. The boat was well equipped with safety equipment and we always felt safe. If we had any questions we could text our tour operator. We made some great memories with our teenage grandchildren swimming and snorkeling too.
