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 had a stress free and thoroughly enjoyable experience hiring a boat from this company. We hired the ‘black Passos’ which was clean, comfortable and very manageable for those with little/no experience on the water. The boat induction and check over was simple and comprehensive which gave me confidence in the service and in using the boat. The team were extremely friendly and accommodating as we had to delay our booking by a day as we were exhausted from travelling. You only pay for the fuel you have used and the team show you the amount they are putting in so you can be sure you are being charged correctly. I am usually nervous about hiring vehicles due to hidden costs etc. but I can highly recommend this company as they are honest and there are no hidden costs. Excellent service, thanks

This is the second time we have used them. I would highly recommend! They are very punctual and all of the boats have been great!

This is a must do. We rented the nicest self drive boat and it had a nice large area in the front to lounge around on. The beaches that you can access are very nice and it is a great way to see coastline that you can't get to via auto. Ampelaki was awesome - I forgot my wallet/cash/credit cards on teh other side of the island and instead of telling tough luck they just said "don't worry we will work it out". Which we did, saving the day.

We stayed 2 days in the area and found this opportunity on Tripadvisor. After a brief instruction we were able to discover the area. The boat was clean, stable and luckily had shelter against the ferocious September sun. We fully enjoyed the experience. Where in other places it's quite expensive to rent a boat we found it to be very doable with this company. The surroundings are breathtaking and to be able to approach a lonely pristine beach with nothing but azure blue sea around us. It is absolutely something we will do again when on Corfu.

We were 2 couples and rented the larger Lux 5.7m for 6 hours . We had a fantastic time even though we are frequent boaters as we live on a lake and own a 28' boat. Not much can compare to the stunning clear water, picturesque beaches and overall scenery you will enjoy in this area . Don't hesitate to contact Ampelaki Boats if you are considering a boat rental in this area . Their timely communication to email questions & easy online booking was a good sign of their commitment to customer service before we even got there. Once we were there, we encountered boats that were clean and appeared well cared for and a team of staff members that were all knowledgeable, friendly and efficient . Bravo Ampelaki Boats !

Had the most wonderful day, highly recommend! Best experience of the whole holiday. It was my partners birthday and they were kind enough to give us an extra couple of hours for free. Great staff, great service and great boats!

Amazing!!!
We booked this as it was my 27th birthday.
Cannot fault the service we had from start to finish. Online booking system really easy to use, boats are clean and we had no issues at all. The girl that showed us how to use the boat was super friendly and really knew her stuff. Fuel cost is €25 but we did go quite far exploring and was driving above the average speed. The beaches you can visit are breathtaking. I went to re book for a couple days later I enjoyed it that much but they were unfortunately fully booked so make sure you book in advance!
Thanks again to everyone there for making my birthday so special I’ll always remember it!
Would 100% recommend to anyone!

Wonderful experience, a must do trip. Team are amazing, boat was great and reasonably priced. Got to go where we want, see the beautiful coastline and crystal clear waters. Just stunning. Definitely worth a trip with a trusted team. Thanks for the experience.

Superb service from Ampelaki Boat Rental at the far end of Paleokastrista today. All the staff were very clear in their instructions. Lovely, gentle-speaking guys who were keen that we had a great time but kept safe. We hired a full day’s boat but the time went quite quickly. Fuel is calculated as an extra when you return the boat - we were charged 10 euros for ours but it depends, of course, on how fast you go and weather conditions.
There was a slight problem with our engine at one point and ringing the staff from one of the bays resulted in a really fast response from them coming to fix it.
I would absolutely recommend this company. They came across as genuinely helpful, expert in their knowledge and very honest.
Tips: take lots of water (they provided a cool box with ice); food; snorkelling gear and suncream!

Hi, How long (on average) would it take to go from Ampelaki to Porto Timoni and would the boat have enough fuel to do a round trip there?
Thanks

Hi. Its should be around 10-15 mins as far i remember. And trust me you got more then enough fuel. We went from Ampelaki to Porto Timoni, then few small beaches on way to paradise beach and paradise beach itself. We had queiet big boat as was 5 of us and use i think 14 liters of petroil. And when back was still plenty in tank. Enjoy

Hi, how much fuel was used for 5-6 hours sailing?

Hello and sorry for this delay. It all depends on the type of boat and the way you drive the boat. So from 10 euro per day up to 80?
