We hired a boat for 2 days here and it was a great experience. The staff are helpful and the boats are good. Also very reasonably priced.

  Great boat, great service, we'll be back. Thank you Panos (not to be confused with Panos boat hire who may also be excellent?)

  Panagiotis great owner!!!!

  Unfortunately Panagiotis is not a man of his word. After contacting Captain Nikos three weeks in advance of my holiday. Panagiotis offered me deal for three days boating for 7... read more people which included the price of the fuel for €750. This price had been negotiated in the shadow of covid potentially disrupting the season. I accepted the offer and when I arrived at the office in Lagos to book a boat for the first day, I found the older grey haired man on the desk aged about 55/60 looking less than pleased. Firstly, he had decided not to wear the mask that hung in the wall to his right - although myself and my friend both wore face masks In the confined office space. He proceed to turn away a punter that arrived behind us saying he had no more boats. He then offered a boat we had specified by email at an increased rate. I then referred to the email agreement on my phone. He became then agitated claiming he had never confirmed the offer from his end and hurriedly made a phone call. Suddenly another younger staff member arrived in the office (again - not wearing a mask or social distancing) for no reason other than to add a little muscle? The conversation up to this point had been calm, civil and polite - although a little frustrating as it was clear that Panagiotis was going back on his deal. 10 seconds after the second younger man arrived, Panagiotis held up the photocopy he had taken of my power boat licence and ripped it in half in front of me in a completely unnecessary and aggressive manner and said they’re wasn’t any deal and he didn’t want to rent a boat to me anymore. I expect that business had picked up during August compared to earlier in the season and he possibly didn’t need to do a deal anymore. However - instead of honouring the deal or even being honest and saying that situations had changed he opted to make the situation out to be a misunderstanding on my part and then tried to intimidate me and act aggressively rather being polite and straight up. Whatever picture the previous “5 Star?!” reviews may paint of Panagiotis I think; like all of us in these last few challenging months, a persons true character might be revealed when situations are a little less straight forward. He was unprofessional, disrespectful, obnoxious and aggressive. So sure, go ahead - hire a boat from this fella, but don’t be too surprised if anything goes wrong - he may blame you for it and you may well end up paying for it! There are plenty of other boat hire places falling over themselves to give you a better deal with much less attitude.

  I booked the boat for 3 days giving a deposit. They cancelled the reservation when I already was on the island. Don't trust them.

  We have been going to Paxos for 10 years now and have always hired a boat from Captain Nikos. His boats are always well maintained, clean and reliable. Panos and... read more his family always look after us and treat us as part of his family. We'll be going again very soon!

  Warmly recommended! The nicest boats and Captain Nikos is a great guy. Simply the best.
