Super Professional Operation - What a wonderful way to see the beauty of Crete. The communication and briefing were on point and very professional. The boat was in excellent shape and the support you have from Notos Mare while you're out on the water is great! Thanks for a wonderful day!

Rental boat for a great day - Already from home I had rented a boat. Easy booking process, secure payment. Afterwards, the confirmation and further information came immediately by mail. Good directions for mobile via Google Maps. Very nice welcome, patient briefing including first short ride with escort, I liked that. On return we were expected including Help center for “parking”. A great day, highly recommended

Marathi Boat hire - We had a fantastic half day boat hire from Marathi beach. The hire was from 9.30 until 2pm which for us as a family of 5 was more than enough time in the hot summer heat. We were given precise instructions on how to use the boat, they do take the captain(main driver) out for 10 mins in the bay just to get your confidence up with the boat and everything felt very safe. There were plenty of lovely areas to anchor the boat and go snorkelling, you can hire snorkels from the boat hire for 5 euros each. Fuel is not included so you start with a full tank and they then fill it back up once you have finished and you are charged for how much you used, in our case it was 16 euros, this obviously depends on how far you decide to travel. Would highly recommend and will certainly be using again when we return. One other thing, on returning the boat you receive a free gift which is a coupon for a free chocolate desert from a Coffee/Desert Koukouvaya restaurant which is on the way back from Marathi beach just off the main road past the airport, you just pop in and hand them the coupon and they hand it over, amazing cake and equally amazing place and the views over Chania are amazing. Forgot to mention Veranda Taverna when you return the boat, well worth stopping in for a drink or food.

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’.
