Stunning - Absolutely brilliant. Spiros was so helpful with us pair of sea sickers. Great atmosphere with the guys. Views were stunning. Abit choppy and we got soaked sat at the top on the left ( think we got stitched up by the crew 🤣🤣) symi is fantastic and so old greek. Lots of shop, restaurants and cafes to go in. It was worth €45 each. Thanks guys for memorable trip. Can't upload my photos but it was stunning

Brilliant trip to Symi Island - The trip was very well organised and punctual. We didn’t realise how far Symi is from Rhodes but the boat is fairly quick and before you know it you’re in a beautiful bay before moving on to Symi Island. Symi Island is both charming and beautiful and a place like no other. We didn’t find it too busy anywhere and our 3 hour stop was perfect for a browse in the many local shops before a lovely dinner at Seame. The return journey gives a generous view of the sunset towards the back of the boat. There’s plenty of time to take photos and videos. The only down side is that there are some sections of the boat where you do get rather wet. We didn’t mind as it was so hot but worth noting as there is nowhere to move to once you are seated. We are very glad we did this trip.

Recommended - Wonderful trip, nice and fresh air on board. See Rhodes from the water. Symi is very picturesque, you can walk through the town in half an hour. NB; in October the swimming stop is already on the way there! Very nice staff, online booking system is clear, easy and runs smoothly.

Rhodes Sea lines - Super smooth service. Really worth the money for a day trip. Symi is so beautiful. We are group of 8 friends. Speed boat arrived smoothly at Symi, remarkable Greece island houses , building s, churches all painted in different w cheerful colours and stanfing oon the hills. We had sea foods lunch by the water front. Strolling the roads with creamy delicious Ice cream by the bridge before heading to St. George bay for a swim. The scenery is so serene and the water is so warm and crystal clear. We enjoyed our trip very much and promised to come back again next year. Thank you for your superb service Rodos Sea Lines.

Great experience but awful organisation - Absolutely loved our trip to Symi and the sunset on the way back to Rhodes was amazing, An issue we had was when waiting to get on the boat the gentleman organising the queue was trying to keep everyone in the shade by splitting the queues which was much appreciated but then certain people who turned up later decided they weren’t going to go to the back of the queue and just stood at the end of the first line, this wasn’t really handled well by the staff as he gave up combined the queues and they were just allowed to push in and enjoy the shade and then the rest of us had to stand in the baking hot sun!!!

Nice excursion - Very nice trip and good crew. The only downside: the ship did not go to the agreed place, but a bus picked us up at this place and drove us to the ship (about 5min drive time). This was communicated to us at the agreed place.

Needs better boarding process - The trip across to Symi was lovely, fast and efficient and just long enough on Symi. However, the actual process of getting on the boat at Rhodes was absolute and utter chaos. Just a total shambles. Form a queue to collect boarding cards, even though when you book you get cards to add to your wallet on your phone, then form another queue to then go round in a circle to then board. But then staff just tell people to go anywhere and everywhere so when the gates open it’s a free for all and those queuing are last on. Staff did nothing and just added to the problem. Grown men and women pushing children out of the way. Disgusting. Added to that we arrived by the company’s bus transfer and were stood on the dockside in queues in temperatures of 34 for 45 mins. If I didn’t want to see symi and hadn’t have been going home so unable to rebook with anyone else I’d have asked for a refund. For this reason I won’t use again when we come back and wouldn’t recommend.

Symi cruise - Superb cruise Journey that goes by quickly Symi is beautiful and. Abaihnade from the superb boat Negative point: departure from the port, little signage to find the departure point Little communication on the taxi boats to take on the island of Symi to swim nearby. In the end the times did not correspond with our departure time. We therefore had to eat and visit the village which is superb. Swimming too short Excursion to do all the same
