FAQs
Do I need a boating license to rent a boat from Sotos Rentals?
No, all our boats are designed to be operated without a boating license.
Before you set sail, our team will provide you with a complete safety briefing and basic operation training, so you'll feel confident and in control from the moment you leave the dock.
The minimum age to operate one of our boats is 18 years, and a valid ID or passport is required.
How many people can fit on one boat?
Boat capacity varies depending on the model. Our fleet includes boats suitable for couples, families, and larger groups of friends.
Each boat is clearly marked with its maximum passenger capacity, and our team will recommend the best option based on your group size and plans for the day.
Contact us in advance to ensure the right boat is available for your preferred date.
What is included in the rental price?
Every rental includes full insurance coverage, life jackets for all passengers (including children's sizes), GPS navigation, maps of the area, a cooler box for your drinks and snacks, and a complete pre-departure safety briefing.
Fuel is provided according to the selected package. We aim to make your experience hassle-free, so everything you need for a safe and enjoyable day at sea is taken care of.
What happens if the weather is bad on the day of my rental?
Your safety is our top priority. In the event of unfavorable weather conditions (strong winds, rough seas, or storms), we will either reschedule your rental for another available day or offer a full refund.
We monitor the weather closely and will contact you in advance if any changes are needed. Greek summers are generally sunny and stable, but the sea can occasionally be windy.
Which destinations can I visit with one of your boats?
From our base in Faliraki, you can easily reach some of the most beautiful spots on the Rhodian coast, including Anthony Quinn Bay, Ladiko Bay, Traganou Caves, Afandou Beach, and Kalithea Springs. Our team will help you plan the perfect route based on the day's conditions, your group's preferences, and how much time you have. All trips are within designated coastal zones for your safety.
Do I need to book in advance, or can I rent a boat on the same day?
While we sometimes have boats available on short notice, we strongly recommend booking in advance - especially during the peak summer season (June to September) when demand is high. You can reserve your boat through our website, by phone, email, or WhatsApp.
A small deposit may be required to confirm your booking. The earlier you book, the better selection of boats and dates you'll have.
Are children allowed on the boats?
Yes, children are very welcome and our boats are perfect for family adventures. We provide life jackets in children's sizes and will share important safety guidelines before departure.
Many families consider a day on the water one of the highlights of their Rhodes holiday, calm bays like Ladiko and Anthony Quinn Bay are especially great for swimming with kids.
