You push off from Adamas harbor with the motor’s steady hum and the island’s white cliffs sliding starboard, the Aegean opening like a blank page. The Blu Water 185 Aphrodite — a 2023 model — responds with simple, predictable power; the sea dares you to pick a direction. In one afternoon you can thread through sea-carved tunnels, anchor in a glassy cove and watch sun-warmed rocks radiate heat back into the salt air.

Confirm fuel policy before departure
Fuel is not included; estimate consumption from engine specs and distance to plan a fuel budget and avoid surprises.
Practice handling in calm harbor

Protect the seagrass
Anchor in sand only; avoid Posidonia meadows to preserve underwater habitat and reduce fines.
Sun and sea protection
Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a hat and spare water—shade is limited and reflection off the water intensifies exposure.

Provided on most rentals but bring a personal one for fit and comfort while offshore.
Waterproof phone case / dry bag
Protects phone, documents and keys from spray and accidental drops into the sea.
Non-slip deck shoes
Helps with footing on wet surfaces when boarding, anchoring or swimming from the boat.
Reef-safe sunscreen and hat
