The Captain was fun and kept the energy going with his dancing and Playlist. The crew was nice and cooked delicious food. My friends and I had a blast on this boat and met other ppl that were on our Virgin Voyages cruise. I highly recommend. It was just enough time at each stop.

The name of this tour is 100% accurate! The boat had two decks and was not crowded. We were allowed to pick a couch for our exclusive use throughout the cruise. We asked for a shady spot and one of the crew helped us with our selection. Soon after we settled in, they offered us a drink and showed us an ice chest full of local Zythos lager beer and bottled water. Crew told us to help ourselves to the open bar on the lower deck which had a menu with a dozen or so cocktails. We enjoyed Ouzo and cherry among other drinks. We cruised along the coastline before stopping at a protected cove, the first of three we would visit, and swam in sea. Snorkeling equipment, foam float “noodles,” and life jackets were provided. The beautiful blue water was so clear you could see your feet. The next stop was close enough to easily swim to shore and collect souvenir rocks. The lunch was fabulous; definitely gourmet! Shrimp spaghetti, salad, bread with tzatziki sauce, mussels, and a brownie-like dessert with a delicious sauce. The last cove was near large resort. We got adventurous and jumped into the water from the top deck! One of the crew brough out a floater of Zythos canned beers and playfully tossed them to swimming guests. On the way back we were entertained rock music with nice dance moves by one of the crew. The hospitality was wonderful. We enjoyed every minute of this! We highly recommend this cruise!

Wonderful day trip!

Demi_R, Sep 2025
The trip was wonderful. I booked this boat based on the reviews and I didn’t disappoint, the boat wasn’t oversold and there was enough beds/loungers for everyone to sit spaciously. For lunch there was a wide selection of mussels, prawn pasta, chicken, breads and salad. All the drinks and cocktails on board you can image. We got to the stops ahead of all the other boats so lots of photo opportunities without being crowded. Staff were great and dancing along the whole trip. I don’t normally write reviews but this definitely deserved one. Thanks all!!

Highlight of my 2025 Greece trip

Lawrence_S, Sep 2025
This was the highlight of our Greece trip. The crew definitely made sure everyone was comfortable and had a good time. Plenty of beverages through out the boat and bartender who made some tasty drinks. Exceptional excursion would recommend and do again.

Shawn_L, Sep 2025
Good vibes, good swimming, good drinks, good food. Not overcrowded like some boats can be, they ensured everyone had a spot. Anthony Quinn Bay was the highlight. Pleasant way to spend half a day.

Our Favorite Captain Alexander

Chris_S, Sep 2025
The entire team of Romantika did a fantastic job! Props to Captain Alexander for making sure everyone had a great time and turned up the party while keeping us safe and comfortable. Captain has got some dance moves!!

Be Aware…

Dap721, Sep 2025
We were expecting a serene boat ride, gourmet meal and time to relax. This is not that excursion- the music is so loud you cannot carry on a conversation with the person next to you. The “gourmet” meal was decent- an over salted cole slaw, steamed mussels, crusty bread so hard that one can literally not bite through, spinach pie, chicken salad, and a brownie, That all being said, the captain was very charming, he danced for us on multiple occasions including a Michael Jackson performance! The three beaches we stopped at were lovely, water was pristine and the crew were very efficient. Additionally, for drinkers, alcohol flowed freely. If you are looking for a party, this is the trip for you; if you want peace and relaxation I would not recommend.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thank you very much for your feedback and for joining our cruise. We are glad to hear you enjoyed the captain, our crew, and the beautiful beaches. Just to clarify a couple of points: The “crusty bread” you mention is in fact a traditional Cretan dish called Dakos, a barley rusk topped with fresh tomato sauce, Manouri cheese, oregano, capers, and extra virgin olive oil. It has been awarded twice by Taste Atlas as the best salad in the world. There was no spinach pie served on board. Most likely you are referring to spanakorizo (spinach rice), a light and authentic Mediterranean recipe, common in Greece but also enjoyed in variations across Southern Italy, the Balkans and Turkey. As for the music: our program is designed with relaxed background music. However, since guests are on holiday, when the atmosphere is cheerful, the rhythm sometimes adapts to the group’s mood, creating a fun and festive experience. We truly appreciate your detailed review and hope we may welcome you again in the future, whether for a lively cruise or for a more serene day at sea!

Must do!!!!!

Tara_F, Aug 2025
This was the perfect excursion and a highlight to our trip! The boat was clean and accommodating. Lots of space for everyone. The staff were beyond helpful and delightful. The food was more than expected and very yummy!!! The beverages were delicious and plentiful. We got to experience different coast lines and see the beautiful island of Rhodes from the gorgeous ocean. I would give this ten stars if I could!

Relaxing and fun trip

Samantha_G, Aug 2025
The boat was really lovely and spacious, great seats & great crew! The seating was really comfortable and the boat wasn’t at all over crowded which can be the case on some other boats! It felt really private and very luxurious! Great food, drinks and music!

Best boat trip

Louise_C, Aug 2025
This is a fabulous boat trip, they brought us to the most beautiful places to swim, their cocktails were delicious....also one of the crew really made it a great experience with his dancing 🤩

This is the best day trip in Rhodes!!

Adam_S, Aug 2025
This was the highlight of our holiday!! Everything about it was incredible, not too crowded as promised even though it was fully booked, the food was amazing, the drinks were great and actually unlimited, the music was great, and most of all the team who looked after us were incredible. A special mention to the dancing Captain who got everyone up dancing and having the best time! You will not regret this trip!!

Awesome day on the water

Beth_S, Aug 2025
We had a great day sailing. The boat was very comfortable with lots of space for everyone onboard. The best part was all the fun we had. The music was fun and Alexander really knows how to keep the good times going.

Must book

Jake_T, Aug 2025
If you only get to do one thing in Rhodes it MUST be this . Incredible food, comfy seats , attentive staff, beautiful water spots. I think Rhodes has the most sapphire blue water in all of the Aegean. Alex the captain is hilarious

Fun, Wind, Waves, and a Dancing Captain

Eileen_H, Aug 2025
Well worth it and then some! A whole bunch of fun to fill the day , very windy that day but Captain Alexander still managed to find us crystal clear and blue water snorkeling and swimming locations. Most excellent crew took good care of us, service and safety wise, food was excellent too. Plenty of iced down coolers full of drinks. Open bar! This is the fun ship for you, especially when Captain Alexander starts with his dance moves. Highly recommended!! Thanks All!

Fun boat trip

Worthwhile trip

Layal_C, Aug 2025
Very nice trip! Great food, the hostess was great. Captain was fun. The places we stopped at were beautiful. Lots of space and great seating arrangements. Wine and beer were good. So were the drinks, even though the options were limited to some preset cocktails and the alcohol in them was weak. The barman could be more accommodating.

Angela_F, Aug 2025
This tour was an absolute highlight of our trip to the Greek islands. The crew were fabulous, the food was amazing, and those Aegean waters 🤩🤩🤩 10/10!!

Amazing

PETER_V, Aug 2025
The crew was amazing. Both helpful and entertaining. The boat was in great shape and the food was authentically Greek. Do yourself a favor and spend a couple of dollars more and book this excursion. You will not be disappointed. Other boats we drove by were extremely crowded while this on was limited on the passenger count. The food was freshly made and the bartender was a professional. Please bring lots of sunblock.

Fun and memorable

elzak, Jul 2025
We had a great time. The beer was cold and the trip fantastic. We were on the upper deck and did not hear what the guide was saying. Little bit more information about the tour would be helpful when we were on deck. The toilets were clean, good music, good food. Captain was a fantastic dancer and got people of the comfortable beds and dancing. Best money spent in Rhodos. In Anthony bay the captain served cold beer in the water, this is something you do not want to miss.

Perfect day trip

Gabrielle_H, Jul 2025
The best part of our trip to Rhodes! We had so much fun and the beaches we visited were all absolutely beautiful!

An amazing experience,...

Domantas_M, Jul 2025
An amazing experience, good atmosphere worth every penny. Me and my partner really enjoyed it and would highly recommend it. Service was amazing drinks and food were great too. I am not much of a swimmer however they have life jackets so i could still go into the water and feel super safe! My partner on the other hand loves swimming and enjoyed all the spots!

Wonderful island excursion

Jo_B, Jul 2025
One of the best boat island excursions I’ve been on. The team on Romantika couldn’t do enough. Complimentary drink as we boarded and so much food. Unlimited drinks, great cocktails, beers, water. The snorkelling and caves were amazing. The captain was very funny with his dance moves. The boat was very spacious with double sunbeds. I would definitely recommended this trip in terms of value for money and island destinations.

Wonderful experience

Aurora_G, Jul 2025
Me snd my psrtner came for s few days holidays in Greece, and this has been one of the best experiences we've done. Staff and perople working in the boat were very nice and friendly, they take care very well of you. The Captain was amazing too, very friendly, and funny, he did a great dance for sll the people in his boat then a lot of people joined him in some choreographies. He took all to beautiful spots for swimming in the ocean, they provide snorkeling equipment if you want to use it, the food was delicious.... nothing i would chnge for this trip, and I would do It again so yes its 100% recomended.
