Captain for a Day!
Trip Description
Experience the ultimate freedom with a RIB boat rental in Lesvos from Fish & Chill Private Cruises. Our 5.5-meter RIB can accommodate up to 6 people, but for maximum comfort it is recommended for up to 4. It is the perfect choice for couples, small groups of friends, or families who want to enjoy a special day at sea.
For those holding a valid boat license, the vessel can be rented without skipper (bareboat), giving you the chance to be the captain of your own adventure and design your ideal sea experience.

What should I wear and bring with me?
From June 15 to September 10, we recommend bringing a swimsuit, towel, sunscreen, and a hat, as the weather is typically sunny and warm. If you’re joining a cruise before mid-June or after early September, it’s best to bring a light windbreaker or long-sleeved clothing, especially for afternoon trips or when the weather is cloudy or breezy.
You're free to bring your own personal items and supplies. Each boat is equipped with a portable cooler with ice, so feel free to bring bottled water, soft drinks, snacks, or fresh fruit to keep refreshed throughout the trip. If you plan to be out for several hours, we also recommend bringing a powerbank to keep your mobile devices charged.
What is the cancellation policy?
If the customer cancels the booking 8 or more days prior to the cruise, 50% of the deposit will be refunded. For cancellations made 1–7 days before the cruise, the deposit is non-refundable.
Fish&Chill Private Cruises reserves the right to cancel the cruise due to technical issues or safety concerns. In such cases, a full refund will be issued.
What deposit is required and when is the remaining amount paid?
To confirm your reservation, a 20% prepayment is required. The remaining balance is paid at the departure point, before boarding the boat.
What happens in case of bad weather?
In case of bad weather or other necessary changes, you will be informed promptly and we will make the required adjustments to ensure passenger safety. The available options are:
- The cruise is rescheduled to another date.
- The departure and return point may change, based on mutual agreement.
- Alternatively, Fish&Chill Private Cruises will refund the deposit.
What are the safety measurements?
Your safety is our top priority. The boat is equipped with all necessary safety equipment, including GPS, depth sounder, life-saving gear, a first aid kit, floating anchor, and a backup engine.
What happens in case of any damage or wear to the boat during the rental period?
The boat must be returned in the condition it was received. Any damage caused by misuse or negligence will result in a repair fee based on an official invoice.
How far from the shore can I sail with the boat?
The maximum allowed distance from the shore is 3 nautical miles. However, for safety, communication, and quick access to land in case of emergency, it is strongly recommended to remain within this range.
If weather conditions change or waves increase, it’s best to gradually return closer to the coast.
Please also note that certain areas may have specific navigation restrictions, such as swimming zones. A safe distance of at least 50 meters must be kept from swimmers.
Is fuel included in the final price?
For boat rental without a skipper in Lesvos, fuel is not included in the price. At the end of the rental, you will be charged for the fuel you have consumed.
