Rhodes: Symi Yacht Tour with Unlimited Drinks and Transfer

3.Symi Yacht Tour with Unlimited Drinks and Transfer

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 380 reviews · 8 hours · from $141

Spend eight hours sailing from Rhodes to Symi with a crew of up to 25. You’ll have about two hours in Symi Town, Greek lunch and unlimited drinks aboard, plus swims at St. George Bay and Seskli Island. Crew members including Anna, Antonio, and Emily have been praised for warm, attentive service.

“memorable experience. The three different locations were all unique and offered something special. Symi Island was absolutely stunning, and the snorkelling in the bay afterwards was a real highlight. The staff made the day even more enjoyable — they were genuinely warm, friendly, and full of positive energy. You could tell they love what they do. A quick tip: if you’re prone to seasickness, definitely bring tablets with you. The journey out can be quite rocky and takes a bit of time — but it’s 100% worth it once you arrive.”
