- If you are looking do to anything on Zakynthos look no further than Abba Travel. Andreas and Alex are extremely helpful and professional and they take care of you every step of the way. We booked our rental the day before, and they coordinated our hotel pickup smoothly. We were treated like royalty the entire t
As for the boating, we rented a four person boat for the two of us and cruised around the island all day. If you have any boating experience you should be completely comfortable without a skipper. The boat was well maintained, easy to use, and very clean. They have an entire fleet of these boats that are high quality so rest assured that you will have a great time.
They take care of all the permits and licensing required and make sure you know how to manage the fuel, first aid kit, anchor, and SOS kit on the boat as well so you are sure to have a great experience.
Definitley will be going back to Zakynthos just to rent these boats again!

Abba Travels were GREAT!! - The tour operators Abba Travels, and the captain they assigned to us for our private boat "Mario" were all excellent. Mario was patient with us, showed us North side of Zakynthos Island with multiple stops to take swims and snorkel. Also stopped at Shipwreck beach and waited for us patiently.
Amazing experience of Zakynthos made even great by a great team.

They're crooks! - After a day of sailing a speed boat, the final reckoning came: 90 euros for a little gas! So a day with this organization costs you 300 euros...... you can also rent a car for half a week. However, after saying something about it.... Are they looking at you if they burn water (sea) and that the petrol price is 3 euros but at the pump 1.93😎

Total oversold rental of boat - We rented a boat for a trip, which was sold as an opportunity to put on the beach and sail into the caves on the south coast!
When we got the boat, it didn't have to get closer to the coast than 100 m and only 30-40 meters from the beach.
It is very disappointing that we do not keep what is promised when the agreement is concluded.
Never gonna recommend Abba Tours to anyone

Dodgy dealings - Poor communication from the beginning left us wondering had we made a mistake booking with them, but eventually sorted it.
Mini bus picked us up (late) from our villa, took us to the dock where we stood around for a while until other groups appeared.
Ten minute tuition course followed, which was ok but a little rushed for my liking.
Our boat turned up last as the dock isn't the biggest, but that's not a problem.
Off we set, boat performed ok if a little tired looking, but for what we paid we didn't expect a luxury boat at all.
The problem occurred when we were charged for the fuel we'd "used". A very dubious explanation followed with rudimentary maths explaining how he'd got to his sum. Apparently we'd used 70 litres, when each tank held 30 litres. Only one full tank was used, and possibly two thirds of another. Who knows if all three were full from the off - no opportunity to check was offered. In hindsight we should've asked, but it's a great thing isn't it??? We were charged €180 for 70 litres. Nice little sideline.... Seems they want to eek every last cent out of you.
Oh and the final laughable insult was when we were taken back to our villa in a 5 seater truck, which wouldn't pass an MOT in the UK. Two of our party had to sit in the back of an open truck whilst Schumacher drove us back. Hairy
Would definitely NOT recommend
