Welcome to Himarë Boat Rental, your gateway to discovering the wild beauty of the Albanian Riviera from the sea. Located in the heart of Himarë, this company offers a unique and unforgettable way to explore one of the most beautiful coastlines in the Mediterranean. With two years of dedicated experience and a passion for the sea, they’ve quickly become one of the most trusted and enjoyable boat rental providers in the area.
Choose from a fleet of six modern boats, each designed for comfort, safety, and ease of use. Every boat is 3.8 meters long, equipped with a sunshade canopy, swimming ladder, and basic snorkeling gear, so you can easily dive into the turquoise waters whenever you wish. The boats are powered by reliable 5-horsepower outboard engines, which makes them very easy to handle, even for complete beginners. You don’t need any previous experience or a boating license — just a sense of adventure and a love for the sea.
Before you set off, the friendly team provides a free 10-minute training session to show you everything you need to know about operating the boat safely and confidently. They’ll explain how to start and steer the engine, anchor the boat, and choose the best places to visit along the coast. Within minutes, you’ll feel comfortable and ready to explore at your own pace.
Unlike quick tours or crowded excursions, the rentals give you the freedom to plan your own adventure. You can rent the boat for a full day, giving you plenty of time to relax, swim, and explore the hidden gems of Himarë’s coastline.
Head north, and you’ll find the famous Pirates’ Caves, a natural wonder carved into the cliffs and reachable only by sea. Here, you can navigate through mysterious sea passages, swim inside crystal-clear water caves, and feel the cool echo of the rocks above you — a perfect spot for photos and exploration.
If you prefer to go south, you can cruise along the breathtaking coastline all the way to Porto Palermo, one of Albania’s most iconic landmarks. This historic bay is home to the Porto Palermo Castle, built by the legendary Ali Pasha of Tepelena in the early 19th century. Anchoring near the castle gives you a chance to swim in calm, blue waters and enjoy the magnificent view of the fortress standing proudly over the bay. It’s a perfect combination of history, nature, and relaxation.
Throughout your day at sea, you’ll have the chance to stop anywhere you wish — whether it’s a quiet beach accessible only by water, a hidden cove for snorkeling, or a scenic cliff for sunbathing and rock jumping. The coastline around Himarë is full of surprises, and with your own boat, you’ll experience the freedom to see it all in your own way.
At Himarë Boat Rental, your safety and comfort come first. All the boats are regularly inspected and maintained to ensure the highest standards of safety. Life jackets are provided for all passengers, including children, and the staff is always available.
