The perfect day out on the water! We hired a boat last minute from Dinos after reading the great reviews of him. Honestly, Dinos was so helpful, immediately sending through pictures of the boat so we could choose and book it in. When we got to the pier he was waiting to check us in, his colleague was really great at the brief overview of how to use the boat (we had done this before) and suggesting places for us to snorkel and we love snorkeling. There was a point where we got our anchor stuck and Dinos found us within minutes of calling, had the anchor out in seconds and we were back on our way. Having had a look around, the boats Dinos has seem to be much newer that others, we loved ours - it could even play music! I would 100% recommend to anyone considering hiring a boat and have already booked with Dinos again for when our friends come in a few weeks. He was so fast at responding it was done in minutes. Thank you Dinos!

I highly recommend this company. We had a great time on the sea. Dino’s communication was very good and prompt on WhatsApp when we were trying to arrange the boat hire.
He told us about the prices of the different boats and how many people they fit. You pay for the boat hire and fuel separately. The boat we hired could fit 7 people maximum and it cost €160 for a full day and it was a very good quality boat, far better than other boats we saw out at sea. We paid €25 for the fuel at the end of the day. The fuel cost can vary depending on how much you use the boat. We paid for the boat hire with debit card but the fuel payment is cash only.
Dino was very good at explaining how the boat worked. During the day our anchor got stuck on the sea bed twice and Dino was very quick to come and get the anchor back for us.

We had an absolutely fantastic time when we hired a boat with Dinos Boat Rentals and would definitely recommend booking with Dinos.
Dinos was extremely helpful. He sent us pictures of the boats available via WhatsApp together with a map of where we could go on the boat. We arranged to meet him at the harbour on the morning and after going through the details of the rental agreement we were ready to board our boat for the day.
His colleague gave us tuition as to how to operate and moor the boat and the do’s and dont’s of what to do when anchoring the boat and what to watch out for regarding rocks. A cool box is also provided.
We had never done this before but it was so easy! A thoroughly enjoyable day and we would definitely recommend, even for the novice!

This was easily the highlight of the trip. We came as a group of 6 students for a 4 hour afternoon boat tour, but you can have any amount of time between 2 and 4 hours. Dino does a fantastic job - really friendly, really flexible on trip start times and a good laugh. He strikes a great balance of telling you about all the best spots on the island while also being good fun, so would suit all types of people. He’s really relaxed and happy to facilitate whatever you want to do on the trip - happy to stop on a beach or a snorkelling spot for a while whenever you want. He provides snorkels and takes you to some great spots for fish. You can also bring any food or drink onto the boat as he has a coolbox to have it all. As for the sights, the coast was beautiful with some great secluded beaches and coves. For trips in Paleokastristas I couldn’t recommend this more, particularly for smaller groups and young adults, and for anyone staying in Northern Corfu this is an absolute must-do.

5* simply isn’t enough for this guy.
I’m always cautious about renting cars boats etc but from the minute I spoke to Dino via WhatsApp that worry was gone. The reviews are all true, he’s very knowledgeable of the best spots to visit, his boats are immaculate (sailing around me and my wife kept saying to each other “our boats easily the best” when near other boats. We had a brilliant new Yamaha engine, Bluetooth built into the boat with great speakers (as a musician I’m always critical of any cheap tinny speakers but these were full, bassy and crisp). Spent the entire day from 9:30 till 6pm and only used €20 of fuel. Dino was such a friendly bloke too and spoke great English. He was also on hand to give us more holiday advise recommendations. When we came near the harbour he was clear in his instruction on to help us park the boat too and always on hand if we needed anything.
Another shout out to the young lad with him who have us a 15min lesson on how to manoeuvre the boat and all the features. Forgot his name but a lovely lad and also crystal clear instructions.
Overall price was very good, boat was top spec, communication was brilliant and I wouldn’t hesitate to come back again. Already told a few people at our hotel to use him.
Cheers Dino, from Dave and Sarah

Wonderful experience! I love boats in general and i feel really great at sea, but this was by far the best thing ever! Dinos is a master when it comes to sailing and his boat is so fast that we felt like flying. Dinos was asking us when he saw how much we enjoyed the speed “are you ready to fly?” Writing this made me break out into a huge smile. He had the perfect playlist both times cause we liked the first tour so much we wanted to get another one during our stay and we were so lucky he told us someone cancelled!
He told us everything during the tour, about the rock formations, the castle on the hill, the houses of billionaires we passed by :))
He even took us directly into tiny caves! He truly is a master of the sea which is why we nicknamed him “God of the sea”! We had such fun and such a great time. He’s a wonderful person and we were never scared one second. As soon as you see how skilled he is in maneuvering the boat you understand that you’re completely safe, but still in shock: i’ve never seen such a skilled skipper! And i have plenty of experience with boats.
Highly recommend Dinos! Brilliant tours!

One of the best experiences in my life. Started off by renting a boat but 3/4 of us became sea sick so came back to port where Dino offered us to take a break and then he'd give us a tour on his bigger boat. The afternoon was just amazing! He's so great and kind. Highly recommend this company

Amazing experience!
We made a reservation via email very easily and Dinos was always reachable via Whatsapp, both before we got the boat to tell us about the weather as well as during the rent to help us in case of any issues.
We received a lot of tips and explanations about the boat and the region. Dinos and the staff are very friendly and offered a perfect service.
Would definitely recommend and come back!

My girlfriend and I wanted to rent a boat to explore paradise beach and heard of Dinos Boats via TikTok. We Whatsapped Dino who replied quickly about prices and sent over a map of where we could explore. Following this, we booked a boat for the day well in advance of our holiday. The day before we had booked, Dino messaged us letting us know that strong winds were expected and that it would not be safe for us to sail. We then re arranged to the weekend where we upgraded our boat for the same price due to this change, even though it was out of his control which we really appreciated. He sent very clear instructions of where the pick up point was before the day so we could plan ahead. Once on the boat, we received a 20 minute tutorial by one of his colleagues on how to drive the boat and anchor etc which we really appreciated with it being the first time we had rented a boat. From then on, we were left for the day to explore and we absolutely loved it. The boat had a cool box for drinks & food, a Bluetooth stereo and a shade cover. We got to see some of the most beautiful beaches that are only accessible by boat, snorkelled with fish and had the best day. By far our favourite day of the holiday. Huge Thankyou to Dino and his gang.
