Do you want to explore the beautiful Greek islands but don't have a boat licence? Don't worry, you don't need one! Under Greek law, you can drive a motorboat up to 30 hp without a licence or any prior experience. However, if you want to charter a yacht in Greece, there must be at least one certified skipper and one experienced crew member (both over 18 years old) on board. The skipper must be competent in navigating tight spaces, anchoring and mooring under different conditions. They should also be able to use their navigation and piloting skills to plan the day's navigation and know their position at any time.
If you want to rent a bareboat in Greece, you'll need a valid international sailing licence to demonstrate your experience. You'll also need an auxiliary crew member with sailing experience who is at least 18 years old. It's not necessary to have a VHF radio certificate. Zizoo is the leading boat vacation platform, offering more than 30,000 ships in 500 destinations around the world.
If you don't have a boat licence or even if you're an experienced captain looking for a stress-free vacation, you can rent a boat in Greece with a skipper. We cater to both licensed boaters who only want to book a boat and those without sailing experience who are interested in renting a boat together with a captain and an optional crew.
