About Sotos Boat Rental
Sotos Boat Rental offers self-drive boat hire from Faliraki on the east coast of Rhodes, giving visitors the freedom to explore the island's coastline at their own pace. Based on Posidonos street in the heart of Faliraki, the operation is built around simplicity: no boating licence is needed, so anyone over 18 with valid ID can take the helm after a safety briefing.
The fleet spans several vessels to suit couples, families and small groups, and every rental comes fully equipped with insurance, adult and child life jackets, GPS navigation, maps, a cooler and a pre-departure briefing on handling and local waters. Weather-affected bookings are rescheduled or fully refunded, and reservations can be made online, by phone, email or WhatsApp.
The real draw is what a boat unlocks: coves and swimming spots that road-bound visitors never reach. From Faliraki, renters can cruise to Anthony Quinn Bay, Ladiko Bay, the Traganou sea caves, Afandou Beach and the springs at Kalithea. By putting an easy-to-drive boat in the hands of complete novices, Sotos turns a day at the beach into a private coastal expedition.
