Licence Free Boat Rental to Lindos and Nearby Bays

Licence Free Boat Rental to Lindos and Nearby Bays is a one-hour self-drive boat experience departing from Kiotari for groups of up to six, with no boating licence required.

After an introductory briefing, take the helm and explore the east coast at your own pace. Potential places to discover include Pefkos, Fokia Bay, Navarone Bay and the coastline around Lindos. You decide whether to spend your time cruising, admiring the cliffs or pausing for a swim, subject to the permitted sailing area and sea conditions explained before departure.

A full tank of petrol is included, so there is no separate fuel calculation after your hire. Snorkels are provided for looking beneath the clear water, while the cool box is useful for keeping your own drinks chilled. With capacity for six people, the boat suits couples, families and small groups seeking privacy without committing to a crewed cruise.

This is a hands-on rental rather than a guided excursion: your group operates the boat and chooses its pace. No licence is needed, but the designated driver must follow the operator’s safety briefing, local navigation rules and instructions about anchoring and swimming. Reaching every named bay cannot be guaranteed within one hour; your route will depend on conditions, speed and how long you stop.

Why this rental stands out

The Kiotari departure is convenient for guests staying around Kiotari, Lardos and Pefkos, and the no-licence setup makes independent boating accessible to beginners after instruction. The appeal is simple: your own boat, your chosen pace and a scenic stretch of coastline leading toward Lindos.
