The quiet side
of Pelion

The Pagasitic Gulf is a world of its own — calm, sheltered waters surrounded by tree-covered hillsides sloping down to the sea.   Jump in from the middle of the water, anchor at a beach that's yours alone, listen to the seagulls, and let the sun and sea air do the rest.

"We just had the best day thanks to Dimitris. Thorough training and fantastic recommendations on where to moor and have lunch. To top it off, we saw dolphins — and he took us out to see them up close. Best day EVER!!!"

"The best day we had in Pelion — the boats are in great condition and the service was excellent. The team was super nice and flexible with everything we wanted. We were with a 9-year-old child. Highly recommend!"

Before you go

Good to know

Do I need a boat licence? +
Most of our boats don't require any licence — they're easy to operate and we give you a full briefing before you set off. One boat (5.5m) requires a valid skipper licence and is available for guided trips or skipper rental. Just tell us your group and dates and we'll match you with the right boat.
Who can drive the boat on a self-drive rental? +
Adults only (18+). On self-drive rentals, only an adult may operate the boat — children and teenagers are welcome on board as passengers but cannot drive. No license is required for the small self-drive boats.
What does a full-day guided trip include? +
A full day is typically 7-8 hours on the water. The route includes secluded beaches, island stops, and scenic spots around the gulf. We make several stops for swimming. There's a lunch break at a local fishing village taverna (the meal is not included in the price, but the stop is). You'll be back by 18:00.
Can we bring babies (under 2) on board? +
Yes — babies and toddlers under 2 are welcome on guided trips and sunset/night cruises. For legal reasons, babies are not permitted on self-drive rentals or on charters skippered by a license-holding guest. 
What should I bring? +
Sunscreen, a towel, hat, swimwear, and shoes or sandals (required on board). We provide cool boxes with ice and water — bring food and drinks if you wish.
What documents do I need? +
A valid ID is sufficient for all rentals. For self-drive rentals to licensed skippers (5.5m boat), a valid skipper licence must be presented on arrival. Since infants under 2 are not permitted on self-drive boats, ID is required for age verification.
Is there shade on the boats? +
All boats have partial shade (a retractable canopy over part of the deck). There's space to sit in the shade or in the sun as you prefer. We still recommend sunscreen, a hat, and plenty of water.
What are the rental hours? +
All boats available from 09:00 to 18:00. Reserved boats are held until 10:30 — if you plan to arrive later, please let us know so we can hold the boat for you. Sunset and night cruises depart around 1 hour before sunset (depending on the season).
Can we jump into the sea from the boat? +
Absolutely — jumping in and swimming is one of the highlights of the trip! The Pagasitic Gulf has calm, sheltered waters perfect for swimming. We stop at spots with clear, shallow-to-deep water. Bring swimwear, a towel, and water shoes or sandals. Life jackets are on board at all times.
Can we return the boat early? Is there a half-day rate? +
Rentals are priced by the day (09:00–18:00) — we don't offer half-day or hourly rates. Of course, you're free to return the boat earlier if you wish, but the price remains the same. If you'd like to maximise your day, we're happy to suggest a route that fits your group's pace.
Can children go on a guided trip without an adult? +
No — at least one adult (18+) must be present on every guided trip with children. We can't take groups of minors alone, even with a guide on board.
When are sunset and night cruises available? +
Both depart an hour before sunset (around 20:00 in summer time). Evening cruises run when conditions allow — contact us to check current availability.
Where do we depart from? +
All trips depart from Kato Gatzea harbour, Pagasitic Gulf, Pelion. Parking available nearby. The exact location on google maps is availabe here in our website.
How far in advance should I book? +
It depends on the season. July and August fill up very fast — we recommend booking as early as possible. In June and September, a week ahead is usually enough. For specific dates, it's always worth checking early. Contact us on WhatsApp and we'll let you know what's available.
What if the weather is bad? +
Safety comes first. If conditions aren't suitable, we'll reschedule based on availability.
