Yes, you can! However, please note that bareboat rentals are subject to a basic handling skills check upon arrival. To ensure your maximum safety, if the safety requirements are not met, we strongly recommend (and may require) that the rental proceeds with one of our professional captains. Your safety is our top priority, and we want you to enjoy the Cretan waters with total peace of mind.

Dear Seaholics guests,
For a few days, we will be stepping away from the sea to welcome our newest and most precious addition to the Seaholics family.
Our office will be closed for 3 days following the birth, and during this time we will be unable to respond to messages or booking requests.
Afterwards, we will slowly return to our messages and bookings. Please kindly understand that our response times and availability may be limited for a little while, as our attention will naturally be with our newborn.
Please note: All bookings that have already been confirmed will take place as scheduled, weather permitting, of course. Should there be any changes or cancellations due to weather conditions, we will make sure to inform you well in advance.
Thank you for your patience, understanding and continued support. We are incredibly grateful to have you with us on this journey.
We’ll be back on board soon — with a little more love in our crew.
With love,
The Seaholics Team
