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.

Full day boat 30hp without license - Thanks to Notos Mare for hosting and training the handling of a boat without a license rented by the day. By downloading the app, you will have access to the beaches and coves around Marathi. We were able to discover very beautiful sites as well as some crystal clear waters. It is a great experience and we are delighted. We paid 42€ of fuel for 20 litres consumed. These are very competitive Awards. Once again, thank you to the team.

Great company - Great company. We visited the day before and reserved the boat for half a day. Great value and great service. The boat was in good condition and everyone was very friendly. Helped us to set up using phone for navigation. We had the boat from 10-2 which was exactly the right time. Visited different areas and swam/snorkel. Remember your sun cream, we did get burnt! Highly recommend.

Day on the boat - Booked with Tripadvisor, we arrive 10 minutes before (very convenient parking at a cost of 4 euros), Vanessa welcomes us super organized who explains in clear English all the rules of the rental. Then the captain shows us how the boat works (well maintained and clean) with a quick breafing. Then we start looking for beautiful coves, not difficult to find using the app that Vanessa made us download. Beautiful places, dreamy coves without a soul, with the possibility to anchor the boat about 30 meters and reach them by swimming. Fantastic day, even if the navigation in the stretch to reach the beautiful Seitan Limania because of the rough sea was not very easy...

Choose your own Adventure! Freedom on the high seas. - The employees were super friendly, informative and helpful. A special shout out to Vanessa, who signed us in, Christo, who gassed us up at the end, and the gentleman that played the baglamas and showed us how to operate and anchor the boat (didn’t get his name). The boat was clean and in good shape, the sites AMAZING, and the freedom PRICELESS!!! Our only regret is that we didn’t take the full day. Bring a picnic lunch and plenty of sunscreen and water. Don’t forget to tip the employees for good service, and book in advance!! In a world of cookie cutter experiences where you are told what to do and when to do it, this rental really allows you to choose your own adventure. Truly an unforgettable experience. One last note: when we were parking our car in the town lot , I was having a friendly conversation with one of the locals. Without knowing we had pre booked anything, he made a point of telling us to ‘do yourselves a favor and rent from Notos Mare (Marine Adventures) because they’re the best in the Marina’.

Family Fun Day - **TripAdvisor Review for Notos Mare** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our family recently had a wonderful experience with Notos Mare, and we can't recommend them enough! We rented a 30 horsepower boat for our family of four, including two younger children, and it turned out to be an unforgettable day. From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. They provided us with a quick yet detailed introductory brief on how to handle the boat. Despite the brief being concise, it was thorough enough to make us feel confident and well-prepared. I appreciated how clear and easy-to-follow their instructions were, making the whole process stress-free. Handling the boat was surprisingly easy, even for someone without much boating experience. The boat was in excellent condition, which made our trip smooth and enjoyable. We spent the day exploring the beautiful Marmara Caves, which were absolutely stunning. The clear blue waters and fascinating rock formations were a highlight of our trip. After the caves, we made our way to Loutro, a charming and serene village. It was the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. The kids had a blast, and we all loved the peaceful atmosphere and crystal-clear waters. The price for the boat rental was very fair, especially considering the fantastic service and quality of the boat. Notos Mare made our day on the water a memorable one, and we felt it was excellent value for money. Thank you, Notos Mare, for a perfect day out on the water! We can't wait to come back and create more wonderful memories with your company. *Date of experience: June 2024*

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.
