A very nice experience, good organisation and friendly skipper Yiannis
Absolutely amazing experience! The crew couldn’t have been more friendly, knowledgeable and helpful throughout the day. We stopped at three iconic and beautiful bays, with time to swim and enjoy the beautiful water.Going in August I expected it to be busy so needed to keep an eye out for boats but plenty of space to swim and explore. It was such a great way to experience Rhodes. . The homemade lunch was delicious, and drinks were available throughout the trip. Everything felt relaxed and really well organised. A fantastic sailing experience from start to finish and definitely one of the highlights of our time in Rhodes. Thank you for an amazing day!
Wonderful! By boat, you get to visit three beautiful bays where you can swim and do snorkeling. The crew on board were kind and friendly. The transfer worked smoothly, with no delays. Would definitely recommend! I went by myself, and it was relaxing since the boat isn’t absolutely full of people. You get to see the scenery of Rhodos from the very best place - a sailboat. If you have the chance, go on this tour!
I had such high hopes for this tour based on reviews. Unfortunately, the experience didn’t live up to the promises. The day before our tour was very windy, so I messaged the operator that evening to confirm for the morning. They assured me that there would not be any wind the following day and everything was in order. They also at this time informed me that they had changed our pickup time to ten minutes earlier, which was not a huge deal but not entirely convenient either. The driver arrived on time in a dirty van that reeked of cigarette smoke, which was poorly disguised by a chemical air freshener. We asked him to open the windows, but he closed them again after about ten minutes (the drive was over an hour). He also had loud pop techno music playing the entire time, so we could not speak to each other. After three more stops the van was full to the brim with passengers and their belongings, all crammed together in this loud, smelly vehicle. The captain of our cruise was very skilled and professional, but she herself said it was too rough for swimming at two of the three stops. She told us the wind that day was even stronger than the previous day, and was surprised when o told her the operator had promised no wind. We never felt as if we were in danger, but it was quite unpleasant underway with water spraying in our face and the boat hopping around on the waves. She did the best she could, but it was simply not an appropriate day for a boat tour. The drive home was a little better in a clean car with just the two of us. However, the driver held at least six phone conversations on car speaker with a variety of people (all in Greek, so I don’t know if it was work or pleasure). And these conversations were LOUD. So loud I could hear them over my audiobook in noise reducing headphones. The tour operator contacted me and asked if it had been a good tour. When I gave my feedback about the wind, they seemed unconcerned. I think they should have informed us about the weather forecast inadvertently and given us the choice of whether or not to go.
We had a great time. I loved that it was a small group. We went to 3 bays and we had plenty of time to swim. Lunch was great. Friendly and experienced crew. Would highly recommend.
We had a great time with our 3yr old toddler
Great trip from Rhodes. Going on a sailboat is way better than some of the other options. If you like quiet sailing rather then the party music option this is the way to go. The skipper and Monica were very accommodating. All you can drink and a great lunch. One of our group recently had hip surgery a few weeks ago and was able to go and enjoy the sail. Highly recommend if you are spending the day in Rhodes.
Nice boat with a knowledgeable captain who took us to the main swimming spots around Rhodes. Small mixed group with English being spoken. I felt that the trip was a bit short, but on reflection it was just long enough. Nice lunch too.
We had a very nice day, the crew was fantastic, drinks and food were well taken care of, highly recommended
Georgia and Monika were a great crew and made the day extra special for us - we were celebrating our honeymoon and they even popped some bubbly for us. The sailing experience was fabulous on the calm med sea and the 3 stops were the perfect amount of time to swim and cool off. We also had the perfect sized group for the boat size, around 11 people. The food was also fresh and delicious and the drinks flowed. The only thing we would have added was some quiet background music. Would 100% recommend.
