Yacht Rental in Zakynthos with Oceans Evasion

Zakynthos is a gorgeous island in the Ionian archipelago and home to one of the most stunning coastlines in all of Greece. Because of the striking diversity of the northern and southern parts of the island, Zakynthos offers something for everyone. In the northwest, you’ll find an imposing and rugged mountain landscape, full of white limestone cliffs that shelter inlets and coves which are only accessible by boat. In the southwest, you’ll find the majority of the island’s beaches which serve as a habitat for rare animal species such as loggerhead sea turtles. See the island in all of its glory and take advantage of everything that it has to offer; there’s no better way to explore Zakynthos than with a yacht rental. If you want to have the holiday of a lifetime that the whole family can enjoy, rent a yacht in Zakynthos with Oceans Evasion.

What is the best time of year to rent a yacht in Zakynthos?

If you’re considering a yacht rental in Zakynthos the best time to visit would be between April and November when you’ll have optimal sailing conditions such as warm weather and clear skies. However, it’s important to be advised that the summer months are the high tourist season in Greece since you have high average temperatures of 28°C, which are perfect for swimming and going to the beach. If you want to avoid large crowds and you don’t mind slightly cooler weather, we’d recommend visiting in May or September. The best part? You’ll also get better deals on boats!

What can you see and do while on a yacht rental in Zakynthos?

Because this island is chock full of things to see and do, it can be hard to know where to start or what to add to your Zakynthos sailing itinerary. Here are some of our favourite things to do in this Ionian gem!

• Discover the iconic “Shipwreck Cove” and sail to Navagio to see bright blue water surrounded by blinding white cliffs. Swim in the ethereal water and deep dive to see the awe-inspiring sight of MV Panagiotis, a shipwreck from 1980.
• Go sea kayaking and float through the Blue Caves of Skinari and see intricate natural arches painted in an eerie blue glow.
• Sail to Turtle Island in Laganas Bay and explore the hatching ground where the loggerhead sea turtles lay their eggs. If you’re lucky, you might even spot a turtle! You can also see hundreds of baby turtles scramble into the water at Gerakas Beach.
• Practise water sports at Vasilikos beach. You can snorkel amongst the rocks or ride along the waves by water-skiing, wakeboarding or paddle surfing.

What type of boat is best for a private yacht rental in Zakynthos?

You might be wondering which type of boat you should choose for your Zakynthos yacht rental and the answer will depend on the duration of your sailing holiday. If you only plan to sail for a few days and you want to sleep on board, consider a daily charter such as a motorboat or RIB. However, if you plan to spend a week or more out on the water, you’ll need a larger vessel which has amenities on board to make your stay more comfortable. In this case, we’d recommend a weekly charter such as a yacht or a catamaran. For avid sailors who want an authentic sailing experience, we’d recommend a sailboat but because they are unstable vessels, they are not recommended for pregnant people or people who get seasick easily.

Whatever sort of boat you’re looking for, you’re sure to find the perfect vessel for a yacht rental in Zakynthos that the entire family can enjoy!
