Fantastic day, highly recommend
We had a fantastic day with Georgios. He’s an excellent skipper. We booked directly with him and communication was fantastic. The sailing was stunning, peaceful and relaxing, and made even better by Georgios’ attention to detail. He always made sure we had drinks, and the unlimited drinks package was definitely worth the money. We had two swimming stops in crystal-clear water where we could snorkel and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Georgios took great care of us throughout the day, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would highly recommend and will certainly be booking again in the future
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your recommendation Angie and it was a pleasure acquainting you and your friends. Great bunch that will be welcome in our future cruises. See you next year!

Swimming and sailing Lindos!
Georgios is a great host and tour guide that made it such a great boat day experience. Lots of swimming and Georgios taught my friend the tips of sailing. Can’t wait to return and have another great Rodos boat day.
Response from the operator: That's great Edith. Thank you so much. It was a real pleasure hosting you all and would love to have you back.

Paradise
My new husband and I booked a private sailing trip with lunch and swimming stops with George and loved every minute of it. I have never fallen in love with the sea until now, I’ve been on boat trips on holiday before of course but not with a sail boat, watching George set up the masts was really nice to watch. We stopped off at some swimming spots and actually stopped in the middle of the sea in pure silence with no noise but the waves and we both just felt at total peace and completely relaxed. The food was great, the scenery was great, an experience I’ll never have again 🇬🇷💙🤍
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind feedback Fiona. Glad we gave you a different perspective about boat trips. Will hopefully see you again when back to Lindos!

Fantastic sailing experience
We sailed with Georgios for an evening charter, From start to finish communication was clear and Georgios was accommodating. I had my 19 month old with us and he made us all feel very welcome and safe, the spots we stopped were fantastic and everyone had a great time. Would highly recommend if you are looking for a private charter experience with family or friends.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your experience during our sunset trip Alex. Up the Hammers!

Terrible experience - book elsewhere.
Terrible experience - Georgios was rude to us, got very upset when we were unable to dock on time (not our fault - the dock was full), did not allow our children to take bottled water with them when we left. For an expensive, private charter, this was a terrible experience. STAY AWAY.
Response from the operator: Hello Michelle, Let me explain why YOU (and not your kids) were denied to take a bag full of water bottles off the boat AFTER our trip had ended. We exchanged several emails to finally help you book one of our most affordable day options (4hrs, some alcoholic drinks, no hot food for the adults). Replied in a timely manner to every single of your queries about food, parking, etc. You were served drinks throughout the trip. You even, personally had several glasses of wine, got tipsy and managed to drop the tray full of drinks and smashed some of the glasses on it. You never offered a proper apology about it. During our last stop, I informed you that you needed to get back on the boat, as your time was up. You just ignored me and carried on diving. This is why we were late. We dock back in Lindos, plenty of space, no delay here and I ask you for payment. I prepare your payment link and then you realise that you have given me the wrong email address, which in turn adds up to the delay. There has been no appreciation of my efforts (booking process, welcoming you on a spotless yacht, serving drinks continuously, serving food, safely sailing you to some beautiful places), you enjoyed your time on the boat to the fullest to get back later than agreed and then you went on to ask for a bag full of water bottles, using your kids as an excuse, which were long gone by then and playing on the nearby beach. You were politely denied and you were invited to use one of the nearby shops. You then wanted to argue that drinks were included. I think it's common sense that it's not sensible to ask for provisions for the rest of your afternoon because you just had a trip with us for a few hours. What's interesting, is that moments after our trip, you were found sat at a restaurant adjacent to our marina, having drinks and snacks. I think it's easy for everyone to draw their conclusions. Reading your review, you reinforced my view that you thought the trip was too expensive for your group. As a result, you expected to be treated like royalty, regardless of your attitude towards the skipper and the boat. But that's not how we operate. Interaction between the guests and the skipper is key for a great experience and it cannot be one way. You are definitely not welcome back on the Gin Tonic as you failed to respect the skipper and the boat.

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Full/Half-Day Boat Trip in Greece with Food and Drinks: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rhodes.
How much does Private Full/Half-Day Boat Trip in Greece with Food and Drinks cost?
+
Prices start at $525 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 Private Full/Half-Day Boat Trip in Greece 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 Private Full/Half-Day Boat Trip in Greece with Food and Drinks worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 32 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 Private Full/Half-Day Boat Trip in Greece 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 Private Full/Half-Day Boat Trip in Greece 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 Private Full/Half-Day Boat Trip in Greece with Food and Drinks?
+
Around 11 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 Private Full/Half-Day Boat Trip in Greece 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 Exclusive Swim Cruise Cocktail Open bar & Gourmet Buffet. 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.
