Billy's Boat Hire

Billy's Boat Hire is a boat rental business at Gouvia Beach on Corfu, Greece, operating directly from the beach. The company has been renting boats since the late 1980s and today offers four new self-driving boats and two new Yamaha jet skis.

You can choose between boats such as the Valory 520 and 525 (up to five guests, Hidea 30hp engine, no licence required, from 150 €) or the larger Valory 550 (up to five guests, Hidea 30/40hp, from 150 €). Jet skis cost from 80 € for a Yamaha Wave Runner and from 90 € for a Yamaha VX Cruiser, both for up to two riders and requiring a speedboat licence. Before heading out you get a safety briefing and local advice on routes along the coast.

There is no information on berths, depths or fixed boat slots, as this is a rental business rather than a traditional marina.

The starting point is Gouvia Beach on Corfu, from where you can head to bays along the coast, including the roughly 45-minute trip to Agni Bay, recommended for swimming and watching the fish.
