This is a must! If you are looking for a special way to explore the natural coastal beauty of Zakynthos, then hire a private boat with a skipper. We chose to hire a private boat with a skipper to celebrate my partners 30th and it was one of the most magical, memorable days ever. Our skipper tailored the trip to our wants and needs but used his local knowledge to take us to the most beautiful places before other boats arrived. He took us right into and through the caves and showed us a local natural spa (where collagen and sulphur meet the ocean). We both got to have a go at driving the boat but it was also lovely being able to relax and take in the breathtaking views as we were being driven around. Our Skipper was so accommodating, he took lots of photos and videos for us, made sure we topped up our suncream and shared his knowledge of the local area. Being able to play music through the boat and having a cool box on board for food and refreshments was a lovely touch. We really couldn’t recommend hiring a private boat with a skipper enough and we can’t thank our skipper enough for being so kind, accommodating, knowledgeable and for making an already amazing day even more incredibly memorable. Whilst hiring a private boat isn’t cheap and it’s extra with a skipper, the day we experienced was worth every penny and more. If your looking to do something really special during your stay in Tsvili, this is it. We used Abba travel for two trips and both were very well organised and the family who run the business genuinely want you to have a nice time and show you the beauty of Zakynthos. Thank you Abba travel for helping us create such magical memories!
