Speedboat rental in Mykonos
A Greek-built RIB that shows you more coves in three hours than some yachts manage all day.
Speedboat rental in Mykonos is for people who count their hours. The Technohull Omega 41 is a rigid-hull inflatable from a Greek yard, and a 50-knot top end puts Delos and Rhenia roughly thirty minutes away. Its deep-V bottom slices through short, steep chop — handy in meltemi season, when the sea off the north coast roughens quickly.
She measures 12.5 metres and carries up to 12 passengers. A canopy shades the cockpit, the bow sunpad sprawls wide enough for several people, shock-absorbing seats soften the ride and a compact cabin hides a toilet. Bluetooth audio and a transom shower for rinsing off salt complete the picture.
Couples, small groups and beach-club regulars get the most from it: the skipper drops you at Psarou or Platis Gialos and returns at the agreed hour. Three hours is the usual minimum, enough to tick off nearly the entire southern shoreline or nip across to Delos.

When to go
The boat operates from May until October and is at its most comfortable in the calm spells of June or September. On blustery midsummer days book a morning slot, while the swell is still low, and save the evening for a slow pass along Little Venice.
Speedboat rental in Mykonos: FAQ
Is it a bumpy ride when the wind is up?
The Omega 41 has a deep-V hull and shock-absorbing seats, so it copes well with short chop. The skipper eases off in the waves and favours the sheltered south coast. In a strong meltemi the trip may be moved.
Are three hours enough?
For the southern beaches with two swim stops, yes. If you also want to walk round Delos, allow four or five hours, as the site is explored on foot and takes a while.
Can we spend the afternoon at a beach club and ride back by boat?
Yes, it is a popular plan. The skipper lands you at Psarou or Platis Gialos, then waits nearby or comes back at the agreed time. Club tables are reserved separately.
