Set along the rugged coastline of Kolymvari, Greece, Notosmare Marine Adventures offers an exceptional way to engage with the southern Aegean’s crystal-clear waters. Their Compass 165cc 100hp motorboats provide a thrilling yet accessible experience for those holding an EU member state motorboat license. With a sleek 5.5-meter build and seating for up to six passengers, these 100hp vessels strike the perfect balance between power and maneuverability, opening doors to hidden coves and quiet beaches unreachable by larger boats.
Kolymvari serves as the launching point for these aquatic excursions, a gateway to a coastline marked by limestone cliffs, patches of pine forest, and the serene bays that pepper Crete’s northwestern shore. The area is noted for its diverse marine life—including pods of dolphins and colorful shoals of fish—and ancient archaeological sites scattered along the shorelines. Operating your own vessel here means not just witnessing these sights but shaping your journey on the water.
Notosmare’s motorboats feature a sunroof, adding a layer of comfort and enjoyment during your voyage, whether you’re soaking up the Mediterranean sun or sheltering from a sudden breeze. Trips can be booked for half a day, ideal for a focused outing, or a full day if you prefer a slow, unrushed adventure among the sea’s hidden gems.
