Beautiful,chilled, day
We had a thoroughly enjoyable 5 and a half hours on this lovely yacht. Our host was attentive to everyone and a really nice guy. The swim stops were great, and the food was freshly prepared and delicious. Everything, including the drinks, was served up beautifully, nice plates and proper glasses. We were able to sail for a while, which was a bonus . I now wish we had booked the longer experience and we certainly will next time . Thoroughly recommend this trip
Response from the operator: Thank you so much Karen. It's amazing you had so many highlights from the trip and thank you for pointing out the things that mattered to you. Yes please, next time will be happy to offer you the 10:00-19:00 option on our ultimate day trip.

So relaxing and private
This was our second time doing this boat trip and they’ve both been wonderful! Communication was great and so accommodating with some less than ideal October rain. The day is so relaxing and you virtually have all the swimming spots to yourself. Highly recommend and we will be back for a third visit when we’re next in Lindos!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much my dear Babita. It was lovely to see you all again and it feels great that you have equally enjoyed both trips with us!

Idyllic sailing trip from Lindos
Georgios makes you feel welcome from the moment you meet him. His boat is immaculate, comfortable and just the right size if you like sailing in the Aegean Sea’s from Lindos without too many people on board. Lunch is served at sea and it’s homemade, healthy, tasty & authentic. Water and cold beers kept us hydrated and the swim stops are delightful. Would definitely recommend, it’s one of our highlights of our holiday.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much Andrew. Glad to hear it was a highlight and would love to host you again in the future. Safe travels!

Wonderful sunset sailing
Such a wonderful sunset cruise on Gin Tonic. The boat is small, incredibly clean and beautifully kept and it felt much more like being out on a private boat than taking a tourist boat trip. George took fantastic care of us, with whatever drinks we wanted and fresh fruit. We stopped at St. Paul’s Bay and at caves where we could swim through and snorkel in absolutely crystal-clear water. The route itself was gorgeous, sailing along the cliffs and beneath the Acropolis of Lindos with incredible views. We even had the sails up, which made it feel all the more special. Everything was easy and unhurried. A beautiful way to see the Lindos coastline and spend a few hours on the water. We loved it.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind feedback Barbara. It's really to see that your enjoyed the scenic route and the sailing experience we offer. Would love to host you again in the future!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full/Half Day Small Group Boat Trip with Food and Drinks: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rhodes.
How much does Full/Half Day Small Group Boat Trip with Food and Drinks cost?
+
Prices start at $80 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rhodes usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Full/Half Day Small Group Boat Trip with Food and Drinks take?
+
Plan for about 5.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rhodes is not rushed.
Is Full/Half Day Small Group Boat Trip with Food and Drinks worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 97 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rhodes, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full/Half Day Small Group Boat Trip with Food and Drinks?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Full/Half Day Small Group Boat Trip with Food and Drinks suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full/Half Day Small Group Boat Trip with Food and Drinks?
+
Around 34 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rhodes can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rhodes and add a light layer if any part of the 5.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full/Half Day Small Group Boat Trip with Food and Drinks start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rhodes within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Rhodes?
+
On Outty we rank every Rhodes experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Makarounas Fishing Boat Trip with swimming stop and BBQ on board, Athens cruise: Agistri, Moni/Metopi, Aegina with lunch & drinks, Rhodes Sea Kayaking Tour – The Pirates Route. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Rhodes?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Rhodes?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
