Absolutely perfect experience!
My wife and I had an amazing day on this boat tour, visiting five beautiful beaches. Everything was simply perfect, from the organization to the hospitality. The two captains were extremely kind, friendly and professional, and their explanations throughout the trip were interesting and genuinely relevant. We felt very welcome from the very beginning, and the whole experience was relaxed, fun and unforgettable. The beaches were beautiful, the atmosphere was fantastic, and the hospitality made the day even more special. I highly recommend this tour to everyone visiting Lindos, it’s absolutely worth it! Don’t miss it!

Perfect day
I cannot recommend this boat trip highly enough. As a group of friends we arranged with Thomas, to hire the boat solely for our group. Thomas (Captains son) was lovely, and so helpful from start to finish, arranging a taxi collection from our hotel, lunch venue and birthday cake for our celebration. His communication by email was very responsive and on the day he made everything feel perfect for us all, he really was the best. The swim stops were the right amount of time, and we were given flexibility as to how long or how many bays we wanted to visit. We could also Bluetooth some of our chill out music for the trip, although most of it ended up being ABBA 😄. We also had some drinks on the boat and a delicious fruit salad was prepared for us. Captain Vasilis was a lovely gentleman and chatted a little when he wasn't steering the boat. We all agreed, it really was the best day of our holiday and it exceeded all of our expectations. If you are looking for a relaxing boat trip, I would not look any further. We will definitely use Vasilis Boat Tour in the future ♥️ Thank you Thomas and Captain Vasilis 🙏

Perfect day
Such a wonderful day. Boat was comfortable with easy sea access. Thomas & his Dad were super kind and Thomas pointed out the history and facts of the sights. The bays we stopped & swam in were stunning with clear turquoise waters. Relaxing Greek music all the way so felt very traditional. Beverages offered if wanted. Lunch stop in Haraki was fabulous and we made some lovely friends to eat, chat, & laugh with. Highly recommend this day trip it was the perfect ending to our holiday. Thomas also kept in touch to update on meeting times & place beforehand so all super well organised. Thank you Captain & son 🥰. Annie & Martin Poulter

Relaxed
It was a wonderful and relaxing day. We intentionally chose this small romantic boat to see a part of Rhodes from the water side in a relaxed way. The swimming spots were very nice. It is worth snorkeling for a while. The lunch break was appropriate and delicious. Many thanks to Vasilis' boat tour.

Traditional greek boat trip
Highly recommend for something different to do on holiday. This boat trip has a traditional greek feel and was run by a lovely father & son. It is a slow ride and a little bumpy if there is some wind (we went in September). There are 3 amazing swim stops which are only really accessible by boat, we saw a goat on one beach. There is some equipment onboard such as float noodles and you can bring your own snorkel/bag etc. The stop for lunch is a lovely touch, the place recommended is very nice or there are lots of other tavernas to pick from. You can also arrange collection from your hotel which we found helpful. Would suggest getting to the first pickup location as then you might get one of the best spots on the boat, being able to sit with your legs out. Really reasonable value too.
