Founded in 1989 by my parents, DD Boat Hire was the first boat rental service in our village and the entire island. Our story began when my father traded his bike for a sunken boat, restored it, and started renting it out. Since then, we’ve been dedicated to sharing the beauty of our coastline with visitors from all walks of life.
Our fleet of boats has grown, each with its own name and story — as if the names have shaped their unique “personalities.” Despite being inanimate objects, they all carry a sense of character, a spirit born from the sea and nurtured by our hands.
This year, for the first time, we decided to bring our presence online, a step forward from the single stand we operated from for decades. Every boat in our fleet has been refurbished, equipped with brand new engines, and maintained with love and care. From family outings to secluded cove explorations, we’re here to provide a warm, personal experience on the waters we know so well.
Join us and become part of a story that’s been written on these waves for over three decades.
Our entire fleet has been refurbished, and all engines are brand new, ensuring a smooth and reliable ride. Safety and enjoyment are our top priorities – we believe that if our clients don’t feel safe, they can’t fully enjoy themselves. Before departure, we provide a comprehensive lesson on boat operation and a full explanation of all safety gear, making it perfect for absolute beginners who have never driven a boat before. Each boat is equipped with coolboxes to keep your drinks and snacks chilled, and snorkelling gear for those who want to dive in and explore beneath the surface.
We’re here to make your Kefalonian adventure unforgettable. Whether you’re ready to book a boat, ask a question, or just say hello, we’d love to hear from you.
Or visit us in person at our stand by the water’s edge in Fiskardo – the same spot where it all began in 1989.
