What people are saying about Symi

The day trip was amazing, 4 hours for Symi are really enough… more free time is not needed. The vessel is clean and brand new. The interior of the boat looks like business class of airplane, but we choose to seat on the outside deck as the weather was sunny. I suggest you to seat on the outside deck as the view when departing from Rhodes and arriving at Symi was astonishing. Thank you for the great memories.

Great experience, though time is short, which for us was also an advantage. Must say that the drivers/hosts didn’t say a word, and didn’t mention that the order of stops would be altered. Found it out only when the boat stopped at St George’s Bay, before arriving in Symi.

As an experience, wonderful. Cheerful, professional crew. Astonishingly good value. We had a fantastic time. Thoroughly recommend if you have a spare day in your holiday and want to see Symi for a short time, and relax and enjoy for the rest of the day.

Enjoyable sail to Symi. On time arrival and vice versa, we would go again. Symi is beautiful and worth going anytime

We recommend this experience as everything was perfect.
