Explore Mani by boat - rent a boat in Kardamili (no licence)

You are completely free, it is an experience you absolutely must have! Don't hesitate to bring your snorkels and swim goggles, the scenery is just as beautiful in the water as it is on the waves!

Thank you to the team for your welcome and your kindness. We are a family with 2 teenagers and opted for the boat rental without a license. A first for us and it was great 👍. Recommended spots via GPS points with magnificent landscapes and swimming breaks in very clear waters. Special mention for Sabrina who really took the time to explain everything to us, and all that in French (very reassuring for us). I highly recommend this activity with Maniboats, thanks again for one of our best days in Greece.😃

We hired a boat from Mani Boats and had a fantastic day out. It was excellent value for money and the team were friendly and helpful from the start. They gave us plenty of recommendations on the best places to visit, including beautiful coves and swimming spots that we would never have found on our own. They also kindly allowed us to start a little earlier than planned, which meant we made the most of the time. The kids had an amazing time swimming, exploring and being out on the boat – it was definitely one of the highlights of our holiday. If you’re looking for a fun family day out on the water, I couldn’t recommend Mani Boats highly enough. Great service, great advice and a brilliant experience all round.

The reservation, the welcome, the explanation and guidance, everything was top notch. Thanks to Andreas and Sabrina for the professional guidance!

Having booked the trip with the lovely and helpful Sabrina, it was everything we hoped for. We had the most wonderful day with Andreas on the rib. He knew so much about the area and its history, we felt incredibly safe and enjoyed the stop off’s, the swimming and the speed. Lovely wine and local finger foods too. Thank you both

Very warm and friendly welcome and good explanation from Sabrina and Andreas. Everything was well taken care of and highly recommended!

The whole experience was fantastic - from making first contact over WhatsApp (with an immediate and really helpful response) to the day itself, spent with Andreas on the boat. Andreas was excellent company, had great stories about the history of the area - both ancient and modern - and was really interesting to talk to. He made us very welcome and gave us a fantastic insight into the area. The scenery was simply stunning, we were taken to a beautiful swimming spot and were dropped off and picked up a stone’s throw from our accommodation in Aghios Dimitrios. It was a wonderful day trip and I would wholeheartedly recommend - thank you very much to you both.

No sooner had we arrived at our accomodation, the wonderful Palataki Studios, than we got chatting with the neighbours, B&S, who asked if we would be interested in going on a day's boating with them to share the costs. Of course we said yes and on the way out that evening we popped down to the harbour and had a good chat with Sabrina and picked up a leaflet. Our neighbour, B, had a boat licence and handled the booking, and a couple of days later, together with another couple, six of us departed on a self drive boat for a wonderful day afloat at just after 10:00am. With B doing all the boat handling, we pottered all the way down, past Stoupa to Trahila, then came back to Agios Nikolas for some lunch, followed by a cruise up to Arkoudi beach for some swimming. Sabrina will give you a list of suggested places to visit, which can be programmed into your phone as a series of waypoints. They also use your location so that if there are any problems, they know exactly where you are and will come to your assistance, which is very reassuring. We returned at about 5:30pm, so a full day out was had. On returning to base, we settled up with Sabrina. As there were six of us, and including fuel costs, it worked out at a little under 45 Euros per person, which I thought was reasonable given the level of service we had received and how much we had enjoyed ourselves.

Booked in advance. Good communication regarding facilities, parking,... Clear explanation of boat operation, possible stops,... Nice surroundings. Fuel costs will be settled separately (as reported in advance) (25 euros - only payable in cash)

Absolutely excellent. Hired boats a few times, but this is by far the best service I’ve ever received. From Sabrina‘s detailed list of suggestions, to the general condition and handover of the boat, everything was truly excellent! Would highly recommend. Maybe on the slightly more expensive end, but well worth it. Thanks to the whole team!
