One of the best things we did in Greece was renting a boat and if you want to rent a boat in Zakynthos, it’s one of the best islands to do so. Renting a boat in Zakynthos is easy.

But if you’re not careful, you could end up with a shady company that charges you extra or gives you an unreliable boat without the proper safety equipment inside.
