Where to start: We met Sabrina and Andreas at the pier to find out about the terms and conditions for renting a boat. They greeted us very friendly and we soon found ourselves in an interesting conversation about boats, the sea - and life in general, with its unpredictable twists and happy accidents. Their approach to the people and the nature they work with is respectful, generous and loving. Sabrina will explain to you all the details you need to know (in 6! languages, if you wish), Andreas will show you the details of the boat - professionally and charmingly handing over the boat, Aliki, in the best condition. They will tell you the best spots to drop anchor and go swimming, and the spots are just that: the best. We had the best time on the Mani boat, heading straight to a great restaurant Sabrina had recommended to us (she actually sent us several places Andreas and her love, and we tested several of them, all were nothing but amazing). Long text, short recommendation: rent a boat with Sabrina and Andrea’s, you will have the best time, I promise!

Mehr oder wenig zufällig sind wir auf den Bootsverleih von Sabrina und Andreas gestoßen, doch nach einem kurzen sehr netten Gespräch war klar, dass wir dort ein Boot mieten werden. Für einen halben Tag sind wir auf der "Aliki" (30PS, kein Bootsschein notwendig) die von Sabrina empfohlenen Punkte auf der Karte abgefahren, mit einigen Stopps zum Schnorcheln und Schwimmen, und es war ein absolutes Highlight! Die Boote sind im einwandfreien Zustand. In Verbindung mit den Tipps und Tricks der Vermieter war es eine unvergessliche Erfahrung, die ich nur jedem ans Herz legen kann. Die Preise sind mehr als fair! Auch abseits des Verleihs sind Sabrina und Andreas für gute Gespräche und auch den ein oder anderen Geheimtipp in der Gegend zu zu haben. Bis zum nächsten Mal!

The boating with Mani Boats was a great experience! Sabrina was so kind and helpful, we rented a small boat with our two little children and got the best guidance, and all we needed for a perfect sail! We felt safe to sail alone for the first time, and even got a text from Sabrina who monitored our sail, when we were in shallow water. Thank you for the perfect sail!

My wife and I had an incredible time renting from mani boats! We called and asked to rent with a few hours notice, in early season, and they were totally accommodating and got us on the water without issue. The boat was clean and worked flawlessly. Seeing the town and countryside of the area from a boat was priceless and we lucked out with some lovely snorkeling in the cliffs. Highly recommend this experience if you’re in the area!

Sabrina and Andreas were terrific and our boat was perfect for 4 adults. They provided us with good information about where to go and instructions about boat operations. Highly recommend.

Definitely recommend renting a boat from Mani Boats! Andreas and Sabrina are very kind and helpful and will give you all the information you need to enjoy a day along Mani coast! They also gave us a list of nice spots where the sea was absolutely stunning! Overall, one of the top activities to do in the area!

We rented a boat for the day and the experience was superb. The owner Andreas shared all the spots worth to visit, which were a lot! It was a fantastic day and the coast looks amazing from the boat. The boat was spacious, clean, big motor, they also gave us an extra piece of tent to cover the boat from the sun, which was great. The customer service is 5* Andreas also gave us several tips on restaurants in the area. We highly recommend Mani boats.

Thank you very much for this beautiful day Sabrina and Andreas! You gave great advice on which boat suited us best and thought along well to choose the best sailing day. Because there were quite a few days with a lot of wind. Thanks to you we had a very nice day today and were able to sail to Limini. There we saw two very beautiful and large turtles 🙂

We rented the Myra boat last minute for 2 people and had the best day of our entire italy/Greece trip. The team at Mani boats were absolutely wonderful supplying many places on our map for us to go and explore. The boat itself was incredible and a brand new motor with no issues and very easy to use as we had very little boating experience. We drove from limeni for the day and were so glad we got to explore another side of the peninsula. We spent the day roaming from place to place, dropping anchor to swim off the boat, snorkel as well as sunbaking and reading our hooks on the boat. We were lucky enough to see a turtle and flying fish! They provided us a cooler with ice which kept our drinks and food ice cold. They were super flexible with us on the day and transparent about pricing with no attempt to upsell or take advantage. A beautiful couple inside and out running the business we cannot wait to return again one day! Go see mani boats if you are in the area.

We rented a boat from Mani Boats for 2 hours tour which was one of the best tours we've ever had. Andreas has lots of experience and knowledge about the region and it was just stunning (and very fun). Highly recommended:)

Sabrina and her husband were amazing to hire from. We (group of 4) hired a boat for half a day with very little notice given to Mani Boats. The team organised a great boat and showed us the best locations to go to. We were the first hire for the season and still managed to go for a swim! Great company and boats to hire from.

A brilliant day out for the 7 of us on a rented Mani boat. Sabine and her husband were so friendly and helpful - we had no boat experience but they explained everything and we felt very safe. There are so many gorgeous coves to explore on this bit of coastline and we were able to snorkel from the boat. We took a picnic in the cool box they provide (they also provide water). They can help provide you with snorkelling gear too (we didn’t need it but this is something they do).

We hired Agia Marina, a 30hp (no licence required) boat with 2x 25l fuel tanks, for a full day, and spent about 7 hours on it, 2 adults and 2 children, traveling all the way down to Limeni and back on just over 1 tank full. The boat was clean, spacious, comfortable and more than powerful enough to bounce the passengers around a bit for fun! Sabrina and the team were great: we were sent a link to places of interest a day or two before that downloaded onto google maps on our phones, and were given more information, as well as instruction on using the boat, when we picked up the boat. It was really hot in August and this was a perfect way to spend the day. We stopped to snorkel in a few places, in crystal clear waters, and even swam with turtles opposite Limeni! The kids loved the boat ride, the snorkelling and jumping off the boat. And the turtles! All in all a great day!
