Best Day Trip of our Holiday - Our favourite trip of our holiday, fast capable boat, very relaxed crew lots of fun and Symi is so beautiful it’s well worth the 20min stroll to the small beach lots of fish to be seen, we will be back!

Perfect, thank you! - Stable, fast and comfortable boat (choose the bucket seats rather at the back at the bottom to be a bit protected from the wind by the front backs). Provide sweater and scarf all the same, because with speed, the wind is important. Clear and respected schedules. It was perfect and very convenient to leave directly from Faliraki Beach! (online booking and additional card payment possible directly on the beach).
The island of Symi is very pretty. We regret to have gone upstairs, it wasted us time for the rest and the best view is rather halfway up the stairs.
The bay is beautiful.

Fabulous boat trip with incredible swimming and exploring opportunities. Highly recommended. - Amazing trip! Safe a speedy boat trip offering stunning views of the islands. Swimming in St George’s bay was incredible, 1/2 hour is just long enough to enjoy the stunning water and venture onto the beach… to see the goats!
Sumo island is a must see, lots of time to explore, eat and relax before enjoying the trip back. The crew are brilliant, ensuring safe passage, providing fleeces for warmth and a map to explore!
Definitely will be coming back to do it all again! 😀☀️

Great trip - Left on time and seats were comfortable. People at front were wind swept. We sat near back and they were great seats. They stopped for swimming on way there but never told people so there were queues for loo to change. Booked on 9am but they cancelled it at last min and we went on 11am instead

Great Trip despite the Weather! - I have given this 5 stars even though we didn't get to St George's Bay! Unfortunately we couldn't get this speed boat back due to it being very choppy so had to get a ferry 4 hours later. BUT the company handled this issue great plus a bonus in that we had extra time in the beautiful Symi. The boat on the way to Symi was very fast,but because of the wind and the chopiness it was a little like a 60 minute rollercoaster ride. We however enjoyed it but if you have young children, I would check the weather first! As I said, we were 4 hours delayed coming back but as soon as we got off the ferry, the company were there with a bundle of cash and refunded us 1 third of the price,nice touch. Top tip,book a transfer with them. We paid just 5 euros per person to pick us up and take us back to our hotel (Atki in Ixia).

Fast boat to Symi - Can’t fault this trip. We wanted to get to Symi as quickly as possible ( was worried about being sea sick), have a good amount of time in Symi and an option to swim. This trip ticked all the boxes at a good price, but even better was the booking system that allowed you to be picked up and dropped back at the hotel at less than the price of a taxi. Service was great on time and a text message to confirm pick up time. Would definitely book with this company again. ❤️

Very nice - It was very nice 3 hours are also totally enough there. It could have been a little longer at the bay but otherwise top

A day adventure to Symi - I suggest spending a bit more time in St. George's Bay. There isn't a lot to do besides eat lunch and look at the tourist shops. We were waiting for the boat to let us back on. Thus spend one and half hours + at Saint George, ideally going after Symi because you don't really want to be walking around wet in Symi.

A must do day trip! - Great boat trip with easy pickup and drop off from right next door to our hotel. Worth noting that from October 1st the swim stop is before you get to Symi which we were not aware of prior so make sure to pack a change of clothes. We were informed after boarding that the cove is in shade towards the end of season in the afternoon hence the change around. Symi is beautiful and we highly recommend and the 3 hours on the island is plenty time to grab a bite to eat and explore.

Well organised boat to beautiful Symi - My trip was rescheduled due to strong winds in Symi, and had to be moved to another day.
This meant my pick-up from Esperides Boat Station wasn’t available, but instead a rep from Rhodes Sea Lines met us at the pier and took us to their main terminal in Rhodes to meet the boat.
The boat was really comfortable, seats like a sports car which add to the ‘fast’ feel but also made it a comfortable crossing as we skipped across the waves.
We stopped for 30 mins to swim at St George’s Bay on the way to Symi, so wear your swim stuff and change in the toilets afterwards. NB it’s easier to climb down the ladder at the back if you just want to kick back and bob around, rather than jumping in at the front and having to swim around the boat that keeps moving with the breeze.
Symi is beautiful, far quieter than Rhodes or Lindos without the coach loads of German pensioners. The free time here was just enough for a bit of an explore, some lunch, and a beer watching the world go by.
The return crossing dropped off at the hotel just up from me, so I hopped off and walked along the beach instead of taking the transfer bus they’d laid on.
