A fun way to spend your day in Rhodes
akiriwe, October 2026
We had a lot of fun swimming around, playing card games, and traveling on this ship! The hosts were very friendly, and they kept us very well fed. TOO fed even haha. They had unlimited drinks and all the necessary bathroom facilities. I, as a person who considers the sun her personal enemy, personally preferred the lower deck so that we could hide from the sun, and have access to the tables. But other than that, that's a great way to spend your day, if you're quite tired of rotting on the beach. <3

Great Day on the Rhodes sea
Afua_G, October 2026
We booked this boat trip in Rhodes as a couple and loved it. The crew was friendly and welcoming from the moment we boarded, and the atmosphere on the boat was relaxed and fun. It was an easy, enjoyable way to spend a day on the Aegean.
The only downside is that the swim area at each stop is fairly limited. It makes sense for safety, but if you're a strong swimmer who wants to roam, you may want more room. It didn't take away from the day, just something to know going in.
Would recommend, especially if you're coming off a cruise ship and want a stress-free day out.
