Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The trip was amazing and as probably the highlight of our stay. Nikolas was an excellent skipper and made sure we had as much privacy as possible when stopping in bats to swim. He made sure he took us to the most beautiful locations and his obvious love for the island was clear which made it even better and more interesting. The boat was fully stocked and nothing was too much trouble. Would highly recommend as a very professional company. Will definitely go again when we are back.!

We are a family of 5 who love the sea and we rented Eritia with Andreas as our captain. It was a fabulous day out in coves around the south of the island. We had plenty of time to snorkel and as we were out early we didn’t feel overcrowded by other boats. We stopped for lunch at Porta Romo which was a delight! We did see a couple of turtles in Laganas but it was a shame to see them hounded by all the glass bottom tourist boats so we moved on quickly!
But overall our best day out on the island!

What a wonderful experience!! Andreas from
Ionian view took myself and my family all around Zakynthos by boat. From 6 month old to 60 year old the boat was ready with life vests if needed and snorkeling equipment. After swimming twice off the boat into the most beautiful crystal clear water we were treated to fresh fruit and all the beverages we needed. Thank you for a memorable day.

We were looking for a sublime way to end our trip to Zakinthos. And I think it’s done thanks to Ionian View Luxury Yacht 👍
Our young and dynamic captain listened to our desires, finding peaceful coves with water as clear as that flowing from a glacier (It feels like we are in the deep blue with Jean Reno). We discovered a breathtaking shade of blue. Beyond his dexterity and ease at the wheel of a very beautiful boat, the captain also suggested a sublime place to eat.
Very nice family day!

This is my 2nd trip with Ionian View but it is my first trip on the Annita. We were a group of 12 and had a really beautiful experience on this yacht. Dennis and Natasha were very attentive and helpful to our group. We explored the blue caves and swam in magnificent coves on our full island adventure. The color of the water is incredible and changes as you move around the island. It was an extremely memorable day for everyone on board. It was at the beginning of our 8 days on Zakynthos and it really set a very positive tone for the week. We opted to take a box lunch so that we could spend the entire day on the water. I suggest doing this. I highly recommend this excursion to anyone looking for a spectacular outing.

We had the most fantastic day with Nat and Denis travelling around the island,
They looked after our every need and spoilt our little girl with Nat letting her help with the anchor to Denis letting her steer the boat. Snacks and drinks were always on hand and we stopped at what was the best restaurant we ate at on the island.
We will be back and definitely will be booking again
Thankyou

Both our cruises with Annita and Alma were a delight. Beautiful boats both ample to take 6 passengers, the 2 crews professional and pleasant, customised schedule and flexible adjustment when the sea and wind were not with us. Would go back when in Zakynthos.

The highlight of our trip! We were in Zakynthos for our honey moon in July of 2020
despite the Covid restrictions we managed to travel and enjoy the beauties of this island which was highly recommended by our friend in the USA. Prior to our arrival we had arranged our activities so that we we would be able to see and visit as much as we could. We came across the Ionian View yacht rentals and we decided to book a daily cruise with "ANNITA" so that we could explore the beaches of the island on a private cruise. We were absolutely amazed by the size of the boat and how luxury it was. The cruise was FANTASTIC not only did we get to see all of the island's best spots, but the captain Kostas who is local was so well aware of the secluded beaches that we got to spend most of the cruise at a beach which is exactly the same as the famous Shipwreck beach, except from the hundreds of people and the rotten boat! All in all we were absolutely mesmerized by the tour, the beaches, the safety we felt {since we had our two babies with us} and the amazing Greek food we had at the taverna! The fruit platter with the wine and the soft drinks which were offered to us by the hostess were absolutely a plus. Definitely a must do if you ever visit Zakynthos! Thank you Ionian View for such a lovely experience!

I hired the Alma yacht with Ionian view and the whole experience from initial enquire, to booking to going on the cruise was phenomenal. Maggie and the captain’s hospitality was out of this world. They were patient with us as we got lost on the way to the port and they offered direction. Upon boarding we received an amazing welcome complete with refreshments. They indulged in our antics with taking videos and pictures. We went around the whole island and they offered history of the places too. We stopped at different points on the island and enjoyed a swim. ( they had life jackets cause we aren’t the most confident of swimmers). Maggie set up a lovely lunch for us. Her bruschetta was so delicious, best we have ever tasted. It was my birthday so we got to pop the champagne on the yacht and they helped me and my friends take so many pictures. The yacht was so spacious, downstairs had a booth seating area and a bedroom where some of us went to nap. The overall experience with the company was amazing. I would recommend hiring them to have that luxurious experience. Thank you again Ionian View colleagues.

We had a very great time with Ionian view. Nickolas and Maggie were very friendly, they told us a lot about the different places, they were very attentive but also they let you in private. It was an amazing experience we saw places and beaches that you couldnt see by car. Excellent service!
