License-free boat rental in Paros

Q: Do I need a license?

Paros's waters

The geometric centre of the Cyclades, between the Antiparos channel and the Naousa anchorages: that is the setting. Weather-wise: the meltemi full on in July–August — crossings made early morning, before it reaches full strength — pick the calm morning sea, and the exact area is drawn by the operator at the briefing.

Booking at the right moment

The useful season runs from May to October, the island having become the hub of Cycladic chartering. Spots go early: book ahead and aim for the morning slot.
