The permitted area, in practice
The day's playground: the inner Ionian between Lefkada, Meganisi, Kefalonia and Ithaca — short, sheltered passages, within the boundary drawn in the contract by the operator. Sky-wise: glassy mornings and a north-westerly afternoon thermal — paradise for novice crews — schedule around the morning sea.
When to go in Lefkada
The season stretches from May to October, with flotillas thick on the water at high summer. Outside peak season, rates ease a little and the pontoons breathe.

Frequently asked questions
How much does license-free boat rental cost in Lefkada?
Expect €100–250 per day — where you land depends on size, the boat's year and the platform. Prices shown here are those actually published at the time of your search. Demand peaks from May to October, with flotillas thick on the water at high summer.
Do I need a license?
In Greece, operators commonly rent boats up to 30 hp without a license, after a briefing and a signed waiver; above that, license or skipper. The local port police always has the final say on its waters — your operator knows the exact rule for their bay, ask when booking.

Yes for most listings: open hulls of 5-6 metres for 4-6 people, on the inner Ionian between Lefkada, Meganisi, Kefalonia and Ithaca — short, sheltered passages — daytime cruising at gentle speed.
