I thought I'd start up a separate thread here now after hearing that there won't be boat hire available from Arillas Beach .
What was the boat company called that used to hire from there , I fairly confident it was San Stephanos Boat Hire , is that right ?
I was going to E mail them to see if they will transfer you to and from Arillas if you hire from them but came across a couple more companies that hire boats from San Steph as well ?
We'd walk but we'll probably be carrying quite a few provisions for the journey !
I wonder if they would bring them over like they do every year all tied up although I suppose if there is none there for them there is little point
Hi Karl
San Stef Boats are the outfit that came to Arillas Beach - George ran the Arillas hire but Leo is the man to speak to - 00306937423946
We exchanged texts over the last few days -
Hi
Good Morning
I hope you are well?
We are staying in Arillas - Arrived Tuesday bit no sign of George or boats - Are you still operating from Arillas.
Regards
Neil
Hi, unfortunately you have to come to Agios Stefanos beach to hire a boat, thank you Leo
OK thanks - Do you pick up?
No I am sorry,we hire boats only from here Hi Leo
Could you tell us how much for 1/2 & full day hire please?
Good evening, did you get my pictures with the prices?
No - sorry I didn't.....
Ok, 4 hours 80€ plus fuel
All day (8 hours 150€ plus fuel)
So I then contacted San Stef Travel to see if it was possible to book boat & transfer package but this isn't possible either - They will arrange transfer separately at circa 10 euros each way.
TBH it's looking to be a non starter - As much as we like a day on the boat I'm not sure 200 euros is worth it!!
If you do come across any alternatives could you let us know please?
Thanks
Neil & Jill
Really appreciate the above ! I'll have a look into it and come back to you . There are 5 of us so the 200 Euros doesn't sound nearly as bad .......
No worries...
Had a car Today - up to Old Perithia then back along the NE coast road - Stopped off @ San Stef @ took a walk on the beach.
Leo had a set up but no one to speak to - further up the beach a 2nd outfit - Thomas's but again no one to speak to but the prices seemed much lower..

Folks
Sorry for the mess of figures on my previous posts! - Just not sure how to add photos?
Anyway...Finally booked boat hire with Thomas for Sunday.
Picking us up and returning by boat at the jetty - €10 extra each way but works out the same price as previously from the beach so happy with that.
If you want to do the same send a WhatsApp message to +306980756129
Thanks
Neil & Jill
Cheers for letting us know! 👍
Quick update re boat hire.....
As mentioned we'd booked through Thomas & arranged for him to pick us up from the jetty.
Boat arrived & we hopped on - surprised to see it Was George from Leo's outfit but didn't think too much about it - Thought perhaps he now worked for Thomas?
However got chatting on the way back to San Stef & turned out we'd got on the wrong boat - Someone else (Stefan) had booked this boat - This could only happen to us!!
Quick u-turn & back to Arillas where our boat was waiting for us.
Whilst chatting it transpires that George is setting up in Arillas but waiting for papers etc - Will be to the left of Jetty & I wonder if it is George who has bought the business from Pedro?
Any way - Home now & once again had the most wonderful time but god it was sooo HOT the 2nd week.
Thanks
Neil & Jill
It could also happen to us in fairness ! lol
Glad you had a good time , hopefully they will be set up in Arillas in a months time when we go.
Thanks for the update
Hi all
Any news on if the boats are running from Arillas now?

No mate. We got one yesterday but had to go to San Stef to pick up and then came round to Arillas to pick the girls up. Had a great day out, went over to Mathraki but then had to drop the girls off at Arillas beach before returning to San Stef.
Rumour is they will have it all sorted for next year in Arillas.
HTH.
Cheers Timbo! Whats the score with picking up at Arillas Beach? Pedros used to go mental if you got within 100 metres of the shore ! 🤣

Quite easy really, just need to find a spot that's not busy with swimmers or any rocks.
We moored up just by the slope down to the beach at the end of the road near Kaloudis & managed to get pretty close so that it was only knee deep to get on & off the boat.
Cheers 👍
