Great trip along part of the East Coast - Excellent boat trip, with open bar and great BBQ food etc. The boat itself is easy to spot in Rhodes Harbour, it’s the only Gallion! All staff were very friendly, including the Coach driver transfer. The service and information provided while on the boat, was interesting and the stops we had provided ample time to swim and relax in the sunshine! Would definitely go again!

A fun day out - An absolutely amazing day. From start to finish, the crew were friendly and nothing was too much trouble.
3 swim stops, unlimited drinks and a few snacks, Greek BBQ for lunch.
I was very nervous about going in the sea on the first swim stop as im not that strong a swimmer, but one of the crew members, Vamos (apologies if that's wrong), spoke to me about it and I 'pinky-promised' with him that I would go in on the next swim stop. I did go in the sea for 10 minutes with a couple of noodles and am really glad I did 😀
Vamos still checked on me a few times whilst I was in the sea, to make sure I was ok even though my husband was with me. Once I got out, he high-fived me and said well done!
A brilliant day out- would highly recommend.

Relaxing, fun and comfortable - Jumping off the boat! Though I was too anxious to jump from the top of the boat, a lot of people did and it looked like great fun!
The staff on the boat were lovely and the food they made fresh was also lovely, highly recommend this boat trip!

Good experience - Very very friendly and helpful crew
Good for value Strongly recommend
However. They can do little better by explaining to customers how and where to locate their reception desk at the pier Because there are several booths

The staff really helpful and supportive top which is nice. Good food , drinks and music throughout.
Thanks so much! We wouldn't have been able to see as much as we did ourselves and the pick up/ drop off very efficient from hotel.

The best cruise in Greece - Here's my experience at the Aphrodite Duchess...
Me, my mum and stepdad was picked up by a minibus which is one of the optional extras when booking for the 6hr cruise. The minibus was on time and got us to our cruise booking on time too. The driver was very friendly asking how we are ext, and also very helpful in ensuring we were comfortable and. When we arrived at the Aphrodite Duchess, we queued up for roughly about 25 minutes whilst we waited for other people to turn up.
When we did board the Aphrodite Duchess, we was offered coffee, drinks, alcohol and donuts. All of which was very good, especially the donuts. All the drinks were nice and cold, especially the beer which is kept in a barrel that's full to the brim with ice and cans of beer.
We arrived at Anthony Quinn bay for our first swim and snorkel session. This location was probably my least favorite out of the 3 locations, this being because the water wasnt too clear but I'm not going to blame that on the host as water visibility can chance due to weather, temp and disturbances on the sea floor, however I did swim out a fair distance towards the rocks near the cliffs and you do see quite a few fish lurking there, som big ones I might add but plenty of little ones too. It's very calming.
After 45 minutes of swimming around and snorkeling everyone headed back to the Aphrodite Duchess to head to the next location. Whilst on our way to traganou caves, the host and the staff prepared hotdogs for all the passengers. These were actually very nice, quite large, the hot dogs was maybe 12inch long, the hotdog buns were nice, soft with a hint of sweetness, similar to a brioche. They had ketchup and mustard as well which was also nice too. Eventually we arrived at traganou caves. The area was populated with other boat cruises, that's not a bad thing, it was quite nice seeing the other boats filled with people having a good time.
The water here was a lot more clear than the first location. There wasn't much fish here, much less than the first location however, being able to see the sea floor and the light from the sun reflecting down into the ocean was much more visually pleasing than the first. Another 45 mins here before we got back on the boat.
On our way the the 3rd and last location, the chef prepared the Greek BBQ and cooked some chicken on a stick along with a side of Greek salad and some bread, sounds simple but it's was very nice, the chicken was juicy and full of flavor, the Greek salad was refreshing and crisp and the bread was sort of like the cherry on top.
We arrived at the last location which is falaraki. Here the water was incredibly clear, the best for underwater selfies, not much under the water other than sand but still very nice. This review is too long so I'll jump straight to my conclusion
You should try this cruise out, the staff are incredibly friendly and I do believe it's family run too so it's nice to support a family that's in it to give people the best experience rather than just the money. We tipped on the way out, and to the bar maid, if you read this, this review is from Harry potter who only drinks pesi 😂 you may remember me. Thank you for the experience.

Missed it- but heard this is fun!! - Sadly because we had a few in our group not feeling well this day, we missed this tour. However, I’ve heard this is a fun day on the water!

Boat tour is not recommended - The boat is in a bad and dirty condition. One toilet broken, the other unclean. Everything is very old, worn and there is something lying around everywhere. Windows in the lower deck fell out. Snorkeling equipment is not cleaned after use. Only 2 bays were approached instead of the 3 described. Cheap drinks and no German speaking tour as actually described.
