Additional Information

Our boats are available for hire for a minimum period of one full day. If you don’t have a license, our 30 horsepower boat is an option you can self-drive. It can accommodate six people, both kids and adults, and is equipped with a sunshade. To hire for a day in Marathi Bay, this boat is at your disposal from 9:00 AM onwards and should be returned by sunset on the same day.

You can take a trip from Marathi Bay to the beaches of Seitan Limania, Kalami, Kalyves, Almyrida, Kera and almost the entire Souda Bay. Upon your arrival, we’ll provide an in-depth briefing about the travelling routes, must-visit places, best beaches, and areas to steer clear of rocks (we will illustrate on a local map, a copy of which is also available on the boat). A comprehensive guide about the boat’s functioning and operations will also be provided.

A sea adventure we won’t forget!!! - What an awesome adventure. We were given a very thorough explanation of how to drive the boat, after which we were set out to explore Mirathi Bay. What a beautiful area! And I really felt like a captain out on the open water! The bays are magnificent. Aqua blue water, steep cliffs and we had it all to ourselves (not too many boat rentals in November). We certainly had a day we won’t soon forget!

Best part of our time in Crete no doubt! - We had such a perfect day when we rented this boat! It was super easy to drive and they explain it really well. The GPS app gave us a great sense of security too that we knew where we were at all times and there’s some absolutely stunning places you can dock the boat at and enjoy the turquoise waters without all the tourists that crowd the beaches. Best thing to do in Crete!

Family of 5 (7, 9, 11 y/o) All Day Boat Rental. - Easy parking (4€ all day). Short walk from parking to office, 100 m to boat. Friendly/informative staff. Simple to use boat with all safety equipment and extra fuel (just in case). Large area to boat in Souda Bay. Several inlets to anchor your boat and swim with the fish. Clear blue water. Some areas were restricted due to moderate winds. This was the best part of our trip! BRING LOTS OF SUNCREAM!

Superb experience - What a fantastic experience we all had. 4 hours out in the bay where we got to choose where we went to. Before we set off, I was given full instructions from from very helpful, thorough and friendly staff. It’s so important to do this and it really helps you enjoy the day, We set off using their App which tells you some of the best places to visit anchor up, where you can enjoy the beautiful turquoise seas and spot fish and other aquatic life. The App also tells you out of bound places which keeps you safe, and out of trouble. This is excellent value for money, and one of the best experiences you could have. And when you get back to land there are some wonderful restaurants to enjoy the fantastic food and drink on offer. And a big thank you to them for tracking us down and bringing my phone back, which I somehow managed to leave on the boat. Thanks to all at NotosMarine for a truly wonderful day. Steve Miles (UK)

Very nice team at Notos Mare! - We rented a boat with 80 HP: excellent and friendly instructions, boat and technology in very good condition. All safety equipment on board. The engine ran reliably and started without any problems. Great!

To do ! - To explore the true southern coast of the ridge, it is recommended to take a boat. Navigation is simple and learning with the teams will allow you to quickly master the boat. We opted for a cooler (perfect if you bring your drinks and a picnic) as well as masks and snorkels. Then enjoy the freedom of sailing, making stops, swimming in small coves and caves. A truly magnificent memory! Allow between €50 and €70 fuel supplement on arrival depending on your route.

very accomodating - We wanted to rent a 30 hp boat but they called and had to cancel due to the weather. They were in touch with me a number of times to see if they can reschedule or else refund my money. They were very professional and accomodating

Summer 23 - Good value for money . Watch out for the weather, because of the wind we weren't able to make the most of it. Nice team except the boss who could be friendlier!

No money back - The appointment was cancelled due to waves and postponed to the next day. But since we had already made other plans for the day, we cancelled the boat tour 26 hours in advance. Now, 8 days later, we still haven't received our money back. There is no response to emails. Bad customer service.
