Great choice of boats at the best prices. Quick to answer my queries and easy transaction so far. Let’s hope the charter company deliver, and we get good weather! ⛵️
After looking for a boat hire for our trip to Santorini I came across borrow a boat. I sent in a quote and Rebecca emailed me back. Rebecca was very helpful throughout and made the whole process easier for me. She spoke with the charter company in regards to dates, fishing equipment and timings. After everything was put in place and I was happy with what we had discussed she sent me over a link to confirm and agree to and make payment. So much easier than trolling google for what we were looking for. Thank you Rebecca for such an easy stress free experience
A big shout out to Philippa for making booking the most amazing private boat such a pleasant and smooth process. Philippa went above and beyond to give us the dream hen do boat trip and was always available with very quick replies. Couldn't recommend enough! Thank you so much from all of us. We are going to have one very happy bride to be 🇬🇷🤍
Easy to talk too even though half a world away. Willing to assist in any way asked.
Adriana was very helpful in finding us a boat to sit our dates. And with so much information in regards to the Greek Islands. Thank you and looking forward to our trip.
Natalia did a great job helping us pick out the boat and inform me of the various options she was very attentive to our needs
As always, got a great and professional service by borrowaboat team . Thank you Eray for taking care of us from the first moment.
Eray made sure every request is fulfilled, answer every question I had , and made sure that we will get the best deal for our summer charter.
The company is good and can grow but they need a good leader to shape them up. Matt Ovenden isn't a ideal leader who can help them grow with massive pace. I understand every company has a budget to operate but cost cutting just coz you are short of budget doesn't give a secured feeling to the employees (Even after performing good).
I won't recommend to work here if you want to feel secure about your place in the organization.
UPDATED THE REVIEW AFTER BORROW A BOAT REQUESTED FOR MORE DETAILS - After posting the review Borrow A Boat requested for more details so they can contact me personally but that won't happen. If anything is supposed to happen then that should be here in presence of everyone so people get well aware of your company. There's no ethics in your organization. Very unprofessional of firing people without any reason just coz you guys failed to collect funds for your company.

Good selection of boats and very helpful confirming information about options
Will be using Borrow a boat again
Thanks for your help Rob
Looking for a vessel for our dreamed sail holiday we found all we wanted to know at Borrow A Boat. At the planned location, of the desired size and characteristics and fitting into our budget. Scanning through the photo's and specs of the available yachts we were quickly down to 4 options. In a meeting with our family members, we picked the one most to our liking. All looks clear, agile reservation and payment en quick confirmation. We are looking forward to this trip.
Eray has been very helpful throughout the booking process, and really good on price. Thank you!
Natalie was super to deal with. The process was straight forward and easy. We’d definitely use borrow a boat again for future vacations.
Eray has been very helpful and extremely responsive in securing a boat for us in Corfu for Summer '25. Very good experience thus far
I recently had the most incredible boat ride, and I can't recommend it enough! From the moment we set sail, everything was perfect—the breathtaking views, the gentle sway of the water, and the fresh, crisp air. The boat was well-maintained, and the crew was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable, making sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves.
Natalia made the booking process extremely easy. She was efficient and very responsive. I can’t wait to work with her on future travel arrangements!
Have rented a boat in Rhodos, Greece this summer. I’m so exited and is looking so much forward to this trip. Can’t wait :-)
The service, information and dialogue provided by Natalia Anagnostopoulou from Borrow a boat has been outstanding. She has been so helpful and very friendly and have answered all my questions in detail, so I now feel very comfortable about this trip. Natalia and Borrow a boat is very professional and service-minded - I can therefore give my highest recommendation.

Nizar ha condotto la trattativa con garbo e professionalita. Molto disponibile e attento alle mie necessita'.
Well done and keep it up
Eraya called me to clarify the differences between the boats I was looking at and helped organise different pickup and drop offf locations to suit our itinerary
Just confirmed charter through Nicolo for September.
So I am not reviewing the yacht but as I am fairly tricky customer Nicolo was great at finding me what I was after and at a very good price.
Thank you for your help and patience
