Great trip with a very knowledgeable captain highlight of the entire trip was the Greek salad he made the only downside is we’ve been trying to find something similar ever sense and we’ve not been able to all restaurants here have the Greek salad but not like what he made highly recommend this trip.

Great sailing to three bays with a wonderful captain Georgia. My wife even got to steer the boat on the way back. Food was good too.

The yacht was slightly chaotic as our skipper was single handed and also provided us with a lovely meal comprising Greek Salad and chicken with fresh bread. He did a great job but the head could have been cleaner. The sail was lovely and we had the chance to swim in all 3 bays. I would recommend this trip but I feel that a 2 person crew would have made the trip even better.

We had high hopes for this trip being on a lovely boat not too crowded and able to comfortably decide to sit in the sun or shade comfortably like shown in the images and described in the description. Unfortunately, we didn’t get this.
The images on the advertisement show a completely different boat to what we were on today. This boat could hold comfortably 5-6 people and we were a group of 11. When contacting the tour operator I was advised by ‘law’ it can hold 15 people which I appreciate but that may be safe in law terms for an hour trip to one destination but isn’t comfortable for a 6 hour trip to enjoy for the price you pay.
The only good thing was the guides on the boat with us. They were super accommodating, lunch was good and they communicated really well how long we had at each stop and how to be safe on the boat.
If your looking for a spacious boat where you are able to sunbathe whilst having personal space and being comfortable, I would recommend booking a different trip.

This was our favorite day on the trip. Cruising around was so peaceful and so what we wanted to get from Greece.

We booked this trip with a party of 14, I would say comfortably this should have been for a party of 8 MAX. I told them we had 14 people so not sure why they chose such a small boat for our trip. The boat actually never sailed because the sails were broken. The beer was not cold, which was a little disappointing to those that drank the beer. But the biggest issue was the back ladder was broken so several in our group didn’t enter the water after the first stop because it was way too difficult to get back on the boat. It was absolutely amazing, the water was breathtakingly beautiful and the crew was super nice, but it just seemed like this was the bottom of the barrel when it came to a sail boat. Like how can you call it sailing if you never raise the sails?

The trip was absolutely fantastic!! There was easy communication so that if I had any questions I could reach out and ask, the trip was amazing and we got to swim in 2 beautiful places. Lunch provided was also great, and filling so don't worry about bringing snacks unless you really want to. They also have tons of water and soda and beer so not much need for beverages either. The boat can get rocky so if you get sea sick, keep that in mind. Overall, it was an amazing time that I would recommend to anyone!

We had a WONDERFUL day in Rhodes on a sailing yacht under the command of Captain Dimitri and First Mate Despina. They made us feel welcome, took us to three beautiful swimming coves, and treated us like royalty. The highlight was when our group floated in a beautiful little cove with Greek bazoukia music playing in the background, followed by a delicious lunch of pastischio, Greek salad, and birras! We were on a seven day cruise to the Greek islands and all 10 of agreed our day with Captain Dimitri and Despina was the highlight of the week. Efharisto Para Poli!

Enjoyed this trip. Beautiful weather!!!several stops! Time for swimming. Lovely Greek lunch. There were 10 total guest -six in our party but it felt very personal.
Susan_L, Sep 2023
Lovely trip to the bays, 2 gentlemen polite helpful, picked up on time from our hotel.
Plenty of fish to see when snorkeling and a swim into the cave was a fav for me. Drinks flow on request and a lovely lunch provided followed by fresh fruit on our last stop. Only minor gripe a small boat so no room to lay & sunbathe.
Brian_C, Aug 2023
We had a wonderful half day’s sailing along the Rhodes coast , stopping frequently for swims in the deep blue water in spectacular coves. Demitri and crew were relaxed and knowledgeable hosts making it a special day.
There are a number of ways to explore the island via boat - some are loud and fast speedboats , some “pirate” type booze filled cruises. This small group option was ideal for a younger family / teens , kids even got a chance to helm for a short while.
Super day out , thanks George and team.
Michael_L, Aug 2023
Lovely sailing boat. Crew were excellent. Only eight people on the trip. Food and drinks offered were very good. Exhilaration sail back to Rhodes harbour. Would recommend this trip to anyone wanting a beautiful trip round the north coast of Rhodes.

Anthony Quinns Bay! And 3 swimstop!
Very good pick up and return! Nice to see Rhodes from the seaside
Nichole_G, Jul 2023
We were on our honeymoon and it was our favorite activity of the week! We had a blast with the captain, food was delicious and the coast was beautiful!
Tony_T, Oct 2022
This excursion was great. If there's any complaint, it's that the food that was offered was very basic. Also, the locations we stopped at were mostly occupied by many other people. It would have been nice to stop at some more secluded locations.
Abigail_D, Oct 2022
Cannot recommend this experience enough. Excellent communication from start to end. I wouldn’t book with shine other than Half price tours. The experience itself was such good fun, very relaxing and got to see parts of the island I wouldn’t have. Great seeing all the bays and having a chance to swim in different areas of the ocean around Rhodes! Book now, you won’t be disappointed.
Bernard_G, Jul 2022
Food is poor and not enough, the boat was overbooked. It is for 6-8 people max but instead we were 11. Toilet was disgusting and wouldn’t flash
Benoit_C, Jul 2022

jodie_h, Jun 2022
Amazing 5* the staff of board and the whole communication the day before and morning of the trip was brilliant, they looked after my girls all day and I would highly recommend this boat trip if in Rhodes
Clay_M, Jun 2022
Great experience. The guides on the boat were very hospitable and nice. Respect was there and there was no sabotage. They were cool too and made it as adventurous as I hoped/prayed it would be. Would highly recommend this tour to outdoor folks and swimmers/snorkeling. Good sights. Cool boat when you get back on.
Lina_M, May 2022
The skipper was brilliant and has a true love for the sea, you could see that. He was amazing company and made our day unforgettable.
The swimming sites were beautiful.
We will indeed do it again.
Violetta_P, Apr 2022

An excellent trip. Lovely bays and scenery, a friendly crew and great company. I would recommended my friends.
Jennifer_B, Oct 2021
Best part of our trip to Rhodes. Our captains George and Maria were so friendly and welcoming. They really made it even more special. The food is amazing, I have a few dietary restrictions and they were able to work around that and let me know what I could and couldn't eat which was great. Drinks whenever you want and the best part was seeing the fish while we were snorkelling in the bays. We went on a really windy day so it was a little choppy but you get used to it after 30 mins or so. I would definitely definitely recommend!
Jane_Y, Oct 2021
Excellent motor yachting experience… Captain Yannis (aka Poseidon) was an excellent host and cook and being a small group experience shared some excellent company for the day… but people must be prepared for yachting experience with waves and all!

This cruise was amazing! The perfect length of time, and we visited beautiful bays. The captain is very friendly and it was easy to converse in English for those of you who are English-only speaking travelers. The captain shared background on the bays, sailing, Greek culture, etc. Truly lived up to Greece's hospitality reputation! The boat was the perfect size for the group of 12 of us who had reserved. There were shaded portions of the boat for those weary of the sun. They had a couple of inflatables and snorkel gear for added fun during the swimming stops. They also let you jump off the side of the boat! The lunch was perfect. Fresh, hearty, and light enough to keep swimming and exploring caves without weighing you down. We would totally book this again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a day on the sea!
If you can book it directly through the captain to avoid a transfer from your cruise ship, I would recommend that. We booked this excursion through Half Price Tours and the company was not the most organized as they were receiving guests for many different excursions at once and did not have enough staff to direct guests quickly or efficiently. No reflection on the sailboat crew, who were amazing! Just a tip for the potential traveler, if you want to do some extra digital leg work.
