From the grey hull and leather seats of a Stinger 700GT, Skiathos’s shoreline resolves into cliffs, beaches and secret coves best appreciated at speed and from the water. This full-day, private Rib Boat rental offers a sustained window on the island — a modern, safety-equipped platform that lets groups of up to ten trace the coastline and drop anchor where the island reveals itself.

THE BOAT

A modern 7.0m Rib with a 150HP outboard

The ride is anchored by a 7.0m Stinger 700GT hull powered by a Mercury 150hp four-stroke outboard, with cushioned leather seating, MP3 audio and practical fittings such as an electric windlass and depth sounder for confident navigation.

THE COASTLINE

Long days of shoreline and hidden coves

The itinerary is built around an 8.5-hour expedition that follows Skiathos’ coastline, giving time to explore secluded bays and scenic anchorages that are otherwise inaccessible from land.

SAFETY & RANGE

Equipped for comfort and emergency readiness

The boat comes with life jackets, flares and third-party insurance, plus conveniences like an icebox and small waterproof bag, allowing a full day on the water with essential safety and storage handled.

What the day feels like

What the day feels like

Set out from Achladias and spend the day skimming the island’s edge: brisk stretches of open water punctuated by quieter coves where the crew drops anchor for swims and shoreline exploration. The Rib’s responsive 150HP outboard lets you cover distance quickly and return to each chosen spot with ease, while onboard comforts make the long day feel purposeful rather than exhausting.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this rental suits — and who should think twice.

1
Active Small GroupsIdeal for groups wanting a private, full-day exploration of Skiathos’ coastline — the rental accommodates up to ten people and is organized around a sustained day on the water.
2
Families with older childrenSuitable for families who can handle a full day afloat; the platform is family-friendly but requires attention around anchors and swim stops.
3
Experienced SkippersThose with a valid speedboat licence can take the helm and benefit from the Rib’s agility and 150HP power; licence is a booking requirement.
4
Travelers without a licenceNot an ideal choice for those who lack a speedboat licence unless hiring a licensed skipper — a licence is required to operate the speedboat.
