Hire Weezie 2 Poseidon 510 Boat Rental in Platanias — No License Needed

On the northern shore of Crete, the coastal village of Platanias opens onto the blue of the Aegean Sea. Hire Weezie 2, the Poseidon 510 offered by Mojo Water Sports, is a compact 30HP day boat built to turn a single day into a private island hop. Designed for up to five passengers, the boat’s cushioned seating, Bimini shade, and swim ladder make it equally suited to a relaxed swim stop or to threading between limestone coves.

Set out from Mojo Water Sports in Platanias and aim toward the scatter of islets and sheltered bays that define this stretch of coastline. The water here runs from turquoise shallows where Posidonia seagrass beds sway beneath the surface to deeper cobalt channels where you can drift and look for dolphins. Rock formations along the shore are primarily limestone, eroded into small cliffs and pebbled beaches; clusters of olive trees and Kermes oak cling to terraces above the water.

The Poseidon 510’s 30HP engine is intentionally approachable: no license is required, and the simple helm gives confident control while the staff at Mojo Water Sports provide a safety briefing and route suggestions. Fuel is not included, so plan fuel stops; a portable cooler is supplied for drinks and snacks to keep the day comfortable. Safety gear, life jackets, and a first-aid kit are onboard, and the Bimini protects the crew during hot midday runs.

This rental stands out here because it removes the usual barrier to boat access in Crete—licensing—so small groups and families can explore hidden coves that larger charter boats can’t reach. Swim off pebble beaches, snorkel above seagrass meadows, or pull into a seaside taverna accessible only by water to sample grilled fish and ouzo. Mojo Water Sports serves as a practical local hub, offering local knowledge about tidal shallows and quiet anchorages that make the difference between a good day and an effortless one.

Practical planning matters: check fuel pricing and bring reef-safe sunscreen, water, and quick-dry towels. Weather on the Aegean can change; Mooring options are limited at remote coves, so anchor with care. For photographers, the low freeboard of the boat gives unobstructed water-level shots at dawn or late afternoon. For families, the easy boarding ladder and seating plan make the Poseidon 510 a comfortable, safe platform for a memorable day at sea.

Reservations are available for full-day eight-hour rentals through the fareharbor booking link; expect a quick check-in at Mojo Water Sports where staff will run through boat familiarization and safety checks. Bring photo ID and payment for fuel if you plan long runs. Because the boat comfortably seats five, it’s a smart choice for parents, small groups, or couples seeking paced cruising along Crete’s northwest coast.
