About Boatify

A small crew, a whole coast to share

We're a handful of locals who'd rather you remember the swim than the paperwork — running captained cruises and self-drive boats across Halkidiki.

— The Boatify crew, Halkidiki

Our story

It started with one boat and a stretch of coast we love

Boatify began the way most good things in Halkidiki do — on the water, with friends, on a boat that had seen a few summers. We knew the coves the tour boats skip and the light that makes people go quiet.

So we started lending the boat out, then another, always with the same idea: hand people a beautiful day and stay out of their way. Today that's captained cruises and self-drive boats anyone can take out — but it's still the same coast, and still us at the dock to meet you.

Why us

How we do things

  1. Boats we'd take our own families out on

    Every boat is kept clean, serviced, and ready — no surprises at the dock.

  2. Local routes, not tourist loops

    We point you to the quiet coves and swim spots we actually use, or take you there ourselves.

  3. No licence? No problem

    Our self-drive boats need no licence, and we never let you leave without a proper briefing.

  4. Honest cancellation

    Bad weather or changed plans? We reschedule or refund — no fine print games.

Hundreds of swims, sunsets, and slow afternoons later — here's what guests took home.

★★★★★

Best day of our whole trip. Our captain knew every quiet cove and we had three of them to ourselves.

Marta K. Captained cruise · Sithonia
★★★★★

We'd never driven a boat before. Ten minutes of briefing and we were off — easy, and so much fun.

Tom R. Self-drive · Kassandra
★★★★★

Booked the night before, confirmed in minutes, on the water by ten. Exactly what a holiday should be.

Elena P. Captained cruise
★★★★★

The kids didn't want to get off. We're already planning next summer with Boatify.
