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.

We rented a boat in 4.
We wrote to the number on the site and they responded very quickly. The guy who greeted us and gave us explanations was very nice.
The prices are super honest, the cheapest we found (then it depends on how much gas you use and how fast you go) Anyway it is absolutely worth it!

We rented a boat from Kaminaki Boats for 4 days in September. The owners, Dimitri and Jess, were charming and very helpful. Good instructions were given and life jackets provided if ever needed. We hired the boat rather than a car as our mode of transport and I would highly recommend doing this. Much more fun than driving on winding roads and you get to see so much more.

Rented a boat for a day from Dimitri and Sam, both lovely guys and absolute gentlemen. Dimitri gave us a comprehensive guide to the boat on collection, with some great advice on where to stop for the best swimming locations. We honestly cannot praise them highly enough, should we return to Corfu we will 100% use them again. P.S. Good luck with the rest of Uni Sam, we hope you smash it!

We've been hiring boats from this wonderful family business for the best part of 30 years and it's an essential part of our holiday. There's absolutely no better way to slow down and explore this part of Corfu and its secluded coves and waterside tavernas.
There's always the warmest welcome from Dimitri, Jess and Bella. If you're new to boating, Dimitri will carefully teach you all you need to know to enjoy your time on the water. If waterskiing is what you're after, he's there again with expert (and very patient!) instruction. And then there are the thrilling inflatable rides!
We can't wait to be back again later this year.

We stayed in Corfu in early July and rented a boat from here for a day. The owner Dimitri is a very friendly and helpful man. I emailed before we left the uk to enquire and he replied with all the details and booked us in for the day and boat that we wanted. On the day, a quick informative lesson on boat handling and off we went. The boats are very easy to handle and we had a fantastic day cruising the Corfu coastline and calling in to some lovely places along the way. Highly recommended and thank you again Dimitri.

I do not understand how this business operates !!!
On the very rare occasion they did answer the phone I was told none of the numerous boats anchored in the bay were available on what would have been a beautiful day boating.
This is after trying many times on many days.
Mostly the 'kiosk' on the jetty is abandoned, apart from customers wondering how to hire a boat lol !!!
I would hate to have to call up if the boat broke down - I would have drifted to Athens by the time somebody answered !!

I am very disappointed to read this review.
We are a family business that has been operating for nearly 50 years and we take great pride in our customer service.
At the time that you wanted to rent a boat we were closed for a few days for personal reasons.
This was explained to you when you called and spoke to us and was also clearly written on the large laminated sign in our 'kiosk'. We also advised you on alternative companies that could provide you with a boat on one of those days.
I really don't understand why you think we would be avoiding renting people boats for any other reason.
I would just like to adress your last remark. Safety is always our primary concern.
We always answer the phone promptly, especially when boats have been rented out, which as you admitted wasn't the case when you called us. What is more our boats are of the highest standard with new engines and undergo regular safety checks so very rarely break down. Finally we are one of the only companies on the island who have built in GPS trackers on all our boats so we always know where to find you if there is a problem.
I still hope you did manage to get out on the water during your stay in Corfu and experience our beautiful coastline.

The best way to see this part of Corfu is idling in a boat over the sparkling turquoise water, stopping for swims in coves that can’t be reached by car and long lazy lunches in the tavernas. You couldn’t find nicer or more friendly people to hire a boat from. Don’t be put off if you’re a novice, the boats are easy to handle and Dimitris’ tuition is fantastic.
If you’re feeling more energetic, their water skiing is brilliant, and the flyer rides are unavoidable (repeatedly!) with kids. Kaminaki Boats and Watersports made our holiday magical. Thank you, we’ll be back x

What an amazing way to explore the coastline and secluded bays of Corfu in a boat supplied by Kaminaki Boats.
The owner was so helpful. A full explanation and demo of how the boat operated, do’s and don’ts, and showing us a good route in a map supplied with hidden coves and drinking holes with places to stop and eat.
The coastline and bays of the national park are amazing.
Just a wonderful way to spend a day.

A very pleasant experience, dealing with native English speakers who provide a courteous and efficient service. We had a problem with our anchor and phoned the number given for help/advice which was as swift and unambiguous as it was helpful, which allowed us to continue to enjoy our day.
For the record, the solution was to discard the anchor and return to base for a new one to be provided, with no hassle whatsoever.
€60 for a decent sized boat and €20 on top for petrol - as good as, if not better, than anywhere else locally that we looked.

Hi all,
I am trying to price up a holiday in Kaminaki and want to include a rough idea of the cost of boat hire in I last went there in 2005 so I imagine prices have changed, but hopefully the resort is still as lovely and unspoiled.
Could you give me a rough idea of the costs and size of boat you hired? We would only need very smallest (only 2 of us). The office for the boat hire is closed so I cannot get through to them until tomorrow but need to know costs this eve if possible.
Thank you!
Kind regards,
Juliet

Hi Juliet,
We needed a boat which could seat 4 which cost 90 euros plus 10 euros for petrol. We went up north east coast as far as kassiopi, stopping a few times along the way, so quite a way. I'm not sure on size of engine.
Have you tried to email them?
Regards, Jane
