Sea Adventure

Friendly staff, nice boats but very pricy when it comes to fuel and they don’t tell you upfront. Paid 2.3 euros per mile, for 40 miles they have charged me 90 euros. I’ve rented boats in the past and never had to pay more than 25-30 euros for the fuel.

(Edit to your reply)

I wasn’t made aware of the fuel charge per mile when renting the boat.

Anyway,

Assuming the following:

• The boat cruises at a speed of 20 miles per hour (this is a common cruising speed for small boats).
• The average fuel consumption at cruising speed for a 30hp engine is around 2.5 gallons per hour (approximately 9.5 liters per hour).

Here are the steps to calculate the fuel consumption for a 40-mile trip:

1. Determine the duration of the trip:

Time = Distance : Speed = 40 : 20 = 2 hours

2. Calculate the total fuel consumption:

Fuel Consumption = Time * Fuel Consumption Rate = 2 * 9.5 (liters per hour average) = 19 liters

Therefore, a 40-mile trip with a 5.6-meter boat powered by a 30hp engine cruising at around 20 mph would consume approximately 19 liters of fuel. 19 * 2.3 = 43.7 euros. Not 91.7 euros that i was charged. Thank you for your reply but i think you overcharge for fuel.

We booked a day trip to tour beaches on the west side of the island. Getting there was a bit long (1.5 hrs) and bumpy, but well worth it- pristine beaches, magnificent mountains, goats climbing dizzying verticals, snorkeling, WWII bomber at 5 meter depths and a leprasorium island. Our skipper Kostas knew all right places and was a great guide and a companion.

Had a great time hiring a self-drive boat today for me and my two late teenage sons. Can't fault this operator at all. I had very limited experience of boating, but the tuition and whole experience was great! The boat was great fun and the coves/islands lovely. Plus the price was very reasonable for 4 hours, plus 30 mins tuition at 150Eur. Can't this recommend enough. Thanks for the experience!!

Even though it was my first time, I had the best experience at this company— IT WAS SO FUNNNNN. I will definitely be returning.

Great experience highly recommended for a personal trip with no detail too difficult, not low budget but the boat and our captain were first rate. Take their advice on weather and location to get the best of the time.

Really amazing experience and price correct no scam or surprise at the end.

The French captain was happy to explore blue caves

Fantastic trip, we originally booked a no license boat. I’d never driven a motor boat before, so I was shown how to use the boat by one of the members of staff. Due to the sea conditions combined with my lack of experienced, after the training I was advised by their staff that it would not be a good idea to take the boat out.

I appreciated the staff looking out for us and caring about our health and safety and I also agreed it would not be wise to take the boat out on my own in the choppy sea.

Instead of cancelling, Sea Adventure resolved the issue by providing a solution of going out with a skipper for a discounted price. The No license boat was in our budget whereas the original skipper price with a different boat was not, so I appreciated them offering this as this was a big part of our holiday.

We were then given Nikolas as our skipper. A reason I wanted to take the no license boat was due to the privacy, however Nikolas was great company and did not ruin the experience whatsoever, in fact improved it. He was of a similar age, spoke perfect English and was a joy to have around. He provided suggestions of where to go, was happy to take us wherever we wanted, allowed us to connect our music to the Bluetooth speaker and was a laugh. He even showed us some magic card tricks which was fantastic. Without Nikolas I think our experience would have been a lot worse. He took us to a great spot in the sea to watch the sun go down which was beautiful and a memory I’ll hold on to with my girlfriend forever.

Overall, a worthwhile experience that will be a highlight of your holiday and fantastic customer service from the Sea Adventure team.
