Mojo Water Sports is a boat hire and private tour operator based in Platanias, Greece. The company provides a variety of small boat rentals and private tours that cater to family outings, island visits, and scenic coastal cruises. Boats listed include several 30HP licence-free models such as the Compass 165cc, Poseidon Blue Water variants, Poseidon 510, and the Weezie models, plus a higher-powered 90HP RIB option that requires a driving licence.
Trip descriptions emphasize comfort and safety: shaded seating, swim ladders, comfortable seats, and on-board safety gear are documented features across the fleet. For customers seeking private sightseeing, Mojo Water Sports offers Mamma Mia private tours — full-day and half-day options that sail around Skiathos, visiting Lalaria’s white pebbles, sea caves, hidden beaches, and filming locations associated with the Mamma Mia movie.
Featured on The Adventure Collective, Mojo Water Sports publishes clear trip summaries and practical details for each offering. Booking confirmation and trip specifics note licence requirements where applicable; many small-boat hires are advertised as not requiring a licence, while the 90HP RIB explicitly requires a licence.
