Why Capitano

A small local operation, not a booking desk

Capitano runs out of Alipa Port in Paleokastritsa. You deal with the people who own the boats.

  • No license required

    Rent a boat and drive it yourself. You don't need a boat license to take one out.

  • Straight to us on WhatsApp

    Message us directly with your dates and your questions. Nothing in between.

  • A proper handover

    We go through the boat, the controls and the safety kit with you before you cast off.

  • Local to Paleokastritsa

    We're at Alipa Port. The coastline we send you out on is the one we know.

Private tours

Discover Paleokastritsa with a Skipper

Three ways to see the coast with someone else at the wheel. Every tour is private, the skipper and the fuel are included, and the route is agreed with you.

A sea cave opening in the cliffs along the Paleokastritsa coast.

1-Hour Cave Tour

A private hour along the cliffs and sea caves, with a skipper at the wheel.

Private

1-Hour Cave Tour

A short private run along the Paleokastritsa coast with a skipper at the wheel — the rock formations, the small coves, and the sea caves cut into the cliffs. Around an hour on the water, and the route is worked out with you rather than fixed in advance.

  • About 1 hour
  • Private
  • Skipper included
  • Fuel included

Possible highlights

Blue Eye Cave La Grotta Cave of Love Marble Cave Iliodoros Cave Agios Nikolaos

The programme is flexible — nothing above is a fixed itinerary, and the route is agreed with you.

Want more time by the water? By arrangement, we can leave your group at a beach reachable only by boat after the tour and come back for you at a time you agree with us.

2-Hour Cave Tour

The same coast with time to stop — more caves, more coves, and swimming can be arranged.

Destinations

Where you can go

How it works

Three steps to the water

  1. Message us

    Send a WhatsApp with your date, how many people are coming, and whether you want to drive or go out with a skipper. It is a booking once we confirm it back to you.

  2. Come to Alipa Port

    Come to the Capitano office at Alipa Port about 30 minutes before you leave, and bring a valid ID. Parking at the port is free. If you're driving, we run through the controls, the coast and the safety kit first.

  3. Cast off

    The coastline is yours — at the wheel yourself, or with a skipper at it.

    For rent a boat with tourguide we recommend to go here because Viktor was amazing!! He explained us everything and was very kind also had good recomendations. This tour is a MUST if you go to this area you cannot leave without the tour with Viktor.

    Absolutely recommended! Capitano has an incredible team of very friendly, helpful and positive members. They provided us with the best prices compared to other agencies and the boat provided by them was up to all the expectations! Unforgettable sightings of the island from the boat make the boat trip a MUST. Also, if you have no experience, their instructor will teach you how to drive and they will also give you the map of best beaches to visit in a close range. Enjoy:)

  • Ірина Чичила
    Amazing experience! The staff gave us a clear and simple briefing, so operating the boat was easy and stress-free. The boat was in great condition and very comfortable for our group of 8. We loved exploring the coast and even stopped at a hidden beach accessible only by sea. Truly unforgettable — highly recommend!

  • Filip N.
    The whole experience, from arranging the boat, to communicating, giving us tips, safety precautions and handing over the boat at the end was very professional. The boat was rented at a competitive and reasonable price. We forgot our speaker at the boat and the boat rental owner called us to let us know and even brought it to the near by restaurant. Superb client service.
