The sheltered waters off eastern Rhodes boast some of the island's most scenic coastline. Discover beautiful bays, coves and beaches and enjoy all the things that make this boat trip so special – swimming, snorkelling, sunbathing and a tasty lunch.

Your adventure kicks off as you push out from shore and your local skipper sails around some of the highlights along Rhodes' east coast. Visiting hidden bays and long stretches of pebbly beach, you'll take in the dramatic, rocky coastline as you travel.

Ein wunderschöner Ausflug zu vier verschiedenen Badespots. Die ersten beiden waren im vergleich zu den letzten beiden Spots jedoch wesentlich schöner, da sie in sehr schönen Buchten lagen. Die beiden letzten waren im offenen Meer und bedingt durch die Strömung nicht ganz so ruhig und dadurch war auch die Sicht nicht so schön klar. Für mich hätten drei stops und dafür mehr Zeit an diesen angenehmer gewesen. Das Team auf dem Schiff war super, das Essen war in Ordnung

Det kom aldrig någon buss till vår pick up point så vi missade hela dagen och har fortfarande flera dagar senare inte fått något besked gällande återbetalning.

Very nice boat trip, was not too busy when we were on there. Plenty of shade inside and space to sunbath outside. The lunch was nice, beautiful swimming spots that felt safe to be in. Swimming aids available and helpful staff. Good atmosphere with music playing and a bar to get drinks

The trip was amazing everything well organized from Hotel pick up and drop off, the boat is very spacious with plenty of seating and some nice shade, the staff were lovely, and so was the food although is buffet style and not buffet staff will give you only 1 portion of each food there are 4 different types and you get a bitt of everything, the swim stops were amazing we had 4 stops, and they were 1 Anthony Quin Bay 2 Tsabika Beach 3 Afanadous Beach 4 Kalithea Springs no need for Booking.com

For what you pay the service offered is passable. Staff are nice and food is ok. But if you're not first on the boat, if you've booked as an excusing you won't be, then your choice of seat is very limited. We were almost first off our coach onto the boat and found what looked to be the last two adjacent seats. Boat is extremely busy with approx 200 passengers making swim stops and lunch very busy. Overall better to head to Rhodes, where this leaves from and book direct from the port.

Martina

Traveled as With family - 36 years old

The trip was good. We were picked up at our hotel and brought to the port where everyone got into the boat which was packed and everyone trying to get to top deck to catch the sun / seats limited with some people taking extra seats for their bags and no one around to supervise. There wasn’t too much interaction and chat from the reps - I thought the trip was a little impersonal, the stops for swimming breaks were good and the food provided was decent

Lorraine

Traveled as With family - 30 years old

Overall we had a lovely day but didn't feel very personal. We were collected by a coach driver, when we arrived a lady (not sure she was even from TUI) greeted us and gave us passes for the boat and just told us to walk up and get on the boat ourselves. Would have been nice to have a bit of information on the boat of where we were going etc. But we had 4 stops for swimming which were lovely and the lunch was great too. So all in all a lovely day - but not very personal.

The boat trip was very nice and the swim stops but the crew could of been abit more friendlier and interactive with us all

The Denton family

Traveled as With family - 24 years old

Fantastic value for money, boat "Triton" was perfect and the family crew were brilliant especially the mother who was so welcoming and happy, she explained she had been doing the trips for 40 years snce she was 16 when her late father was the captain and now her husband. The were 6 stops along the way ranging from 25 minutes to 55 minutes for swims in beautiful water, lunch was delicious and left no one hungry. Drink prices were fair and a good selection. Perfect day will definitely book again.

Sean A

Traveled as As a couple - 43 years old

Enjoyed almost everything, service, staff and rooms excellent, however the WI-FI in the complex is atrocious.

Sarah

The boat wasn’t too big and was comfortable with lots of shade in a particularly hot day . It was a really positive day that will stay with my teenage children for a long time. Beautiful coves to swim in, lots of lovely stops, the service by the guide and her family was great, relaxed and gave us all the right amount of space to have a chilled day. Food was amazing, plentiful and included us as vegetarian. Really special day and definitely value for money.

Dec

Traveled as With family

Great boat trip stopping off at 4 swim stops for about 30 mins. Beautiful Anthony Quinn cove was amazing. Lunch on board was fantastic. It is a long day and be careful on the top sun deck as it is really hot. Can be a little busy but well worth it for the veiws and geat memories.

Tashar

Traveled as With family - 23 years old

Having been on other boat trips with similar names I was expecting the same sort of thing, I think it needs to be made clear in the description that you will be sat on plastic chairs that are bolted to the floor so they can’t be moved and there are no sunbathing seats on the boat. It did leave us disappointed having nowhere to chill and sunbath for 8 hrs. The food however was lovely and so were the staff. The swimming stops wet e fantastic and needed after being sat up on plastic seats.

Vicky

Traveled as With friends - 8 years old

Was a lovely day. Very nice swimming spots, great weather and the guide was lovely.

Ayshea

Traveled as As a couple - 31 years old

The good points, the lunch is very nice and the sea swim stops are lovely.The bad points, it is oversold, too many people, hard plastic seats, nowhere to relax, sitting in the same position for 8 hours. Would suggest spending a little more and going on a smaller excursion.

Betty

Traveled as With friends - 35 years old

The scenery and the swim stops were good. The lunch that was of good quality and quantity. The drinks and snacks you could buy were good value and the staff on the boat were very helpful and friendly. The things to be improve would be for better more comfortable seating and space for everyone not just those who board first. There was no information given on landmarks which the boat passes. TUI also stated no children under 13 but there were a few including baby in buggy. Snorkels would be good.

Nicki

Trip very well organised. TUI rep met us at the harbour, gave us tickets and to,d us where to find the boat. Also told us which coach to come back to

Traveled as As a couple - 12 years old

Nice day out, pretty views on long the coast, good choices of swim stops and decent lunch aswell with a full bar which was a good price. Maybe more uncovered spaces to allow more people to sit in the sun, bit pricey for what you actually get.

Charlotte

Traveled as With family - 17 years old

It was so great we booked again so did it twice. My 5 year old had a great time also. Lunch was tasty and plentiful. Drinks - there were a better selection on the first boat rather than the second but still very good. Not too expensive either. Staff were a bit more talkative and helpful on first boat but rep on second trip was better. Bring goggles/snorkle/swim shoes if you want to explore the rocks and see fish. Both boats had pool noodles. Stairs come into water so easy to get back on.

Lucy

Traveled as As a couple - 14 years old

The trip was good, lovely family run, great lunch, reasonably priced refreshments. Only negative was the stop for lunch was very long !

ivor davies

Traveled as As a couple - 46 years old

Lack of comfortable seating. 6 hours on plastic seats is pretty awful.

Chris

The boat trip in itself was fine with lots of stops for swimming. It would have been nice if the guide on the boat had been able to give a bit more of a commentary on some of the beaches/villages/fortifications we passed on the trip.

Alison

Thought the trip was a bit long. But service and boat staff were pleasant and helpful.

Rosie

Brilliant day out! The service from the staff was amazing, the food they cooked on board was lovely. Everyone was so friendly, beautiful beaches, lovely boat. Overall a brilliant day out, would defo recommend??

anne&tony

Traveled as As a couple - 53 years old

Flights were good and staff professional and friendly. The hospitality and service at the hotel was exceptional from Reception to the ladies who clean the rooms. We arranged the Sun and Sea Boat Trip before departure and this was great value for money, the lunch provided was amazing. The toilet could do with updating however. Bev the Tui Rep at Lindos Mare was both friendly and helpful. The Vergina Lounge Bar was a little soleless and more could be done to make it more welcoming.

Lynne

Traveled as As a couple - 44 years old

The family boat crew were fantastic, very helpful and knowledgeable and always smiling. We enjoyed all 5 stops for swimming all offering something different. Lunch was plentiful and tasty. The boat isn’t the largest but it has plenty of character and we didn’t feel crowded. Getting in and out of the sea was via vertical ladders or jumping off the side! There were plenty of cold drinks and snacks to buy. Recommend taking water, cash, masks and snorkels and plenty of sunscreen. Great excursion!

JH

I expected a jeep not a range rover. Put in the extra seats at the back so found it very difficult to get in and out( pensioners)

Donia

Fantastic day beautiful lunch very informative guide

Shane M

Traveled as With friends - 19 years old

The trip was great. We stopped of at 5 locations to have a swim..cooked food was included at one of the stops and was tasty..plenty of food for everyone on board..the only negative I would say was the amount of people on the boat it was overcrowded. Very narrow walk ways and not much space.

Jules

The whole day from start to finish was well timed , organised and great value for money. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The food was excellent and plentiful. Great views swimming and all in all probably one of the best days x

Kimmy

I enjoyed the whole experience, it would have been helpful to be informed beforehand that we needed money for drinks. Lunch was included so I naturally assumed that meant water/drink too.. the itinerary said fetch sun block, hat & swim wear. No mention of money, we were not getting off the boat so had no reason to take cash. My aunt & I went all day without a drink (8hrs).

Det var en underbar dag till havs, där alla kända stränder prickades av vid badstoppen.

Trevor & Suzanne

A good number of swim stops and a really friendly crew and guide. Good knowledge from the guide. Food was outstanding and plentiful. Locations of swim stops were very good and a good mixture. Most enjoyable day.

JM3009

Traveled as As a couple - 16 years old

Really enjoyed this trip, great opportunity to see other beautiful parts of Rhodes. The only things that let it down was the lack of communication about the itinerary for the day, lack of organisation/coordination for the lunch provided. It also felt like we spent a very long time waiting around after lunch not knowing whether we could go back into the sea to swim or if we were waiting for the next stop and there was no guidance on this but otherwise an enjoyable trip

Mike

Traveled as With family - 25 years old

Great day jumping off the boat at beautiful locations. Friendly and relaxed crew couldn't do enough. Lovely food too. Kids said it was their favourite day of the holiday.

SKol

Traveled as With family - 29 years old

A great day out with plenty of time to swim and the food was plentiful. However there were a lot of people on the boat and the tour guide did not explain what was happening clearly eg how long we would be stopping in each location, when lunch would be - the only reason we knew was due to the tour guide for the Danes who explained this in Danish for her passengers and our family is able to speak Danish. Although we enjoyed the day we also consider this to be an expensive trip for a family.

Best day of our holiday. Staff were amazing and we loved the swimming stops

Kirsty

A fantastic day with 5 swim stops and a lovelt lunch. All staff were excellent. Would definitely recommend.

Anna

Traveled as With friends - 10 years old

The tui rep on board was lovely, boat crew was fantastic and very friendly. Stopped at 4 different locations for a swim, so lovely and refreshing! Brilliant day and good value. The only negative was the food, I didn’t enjoy the food, so I bought snacks instead.

Natasha

A great day. Our only criticism is there were too many people on the boat, we didn’t find anywhere comfortable to sit and move around. Otherwise it was a wonderful experience and nice to support a local family business - the staff were very friendly.

Luke Collinson

Traveled as As a couple - 10 years old

The boat we went on the top deck had more chairs then sun beds/loungers, a similar boat next to us had a top deck with sun beds/loungers and half covered by shade which I thought was a good idea, if this was on our boat it would’ve been more enjoyable.

Nicola

4 stop offs to swim in the sea, nice food bar available for snacks and drinks. Good value for money.

Paul Terry

Absolutely brilliant trip this one. Superb value for money. Dropping off at some excellent coves for swimming/snorkelling. Superb food and great staff. Well worth it as it's basically an all day excursion.

C Gosling

Great experience, fun day and good food.

Sam NP

Crew were really friendly. My daughter (age 9) was a bit worried about going on a boat out to sea…..however by the end of the day she was jumping in off the side of the boat and hasn’t stopped talking about it; she said it was the favourite part of our holiday. Lunch was amazing. Very good value for money. A really relaxing but fun day.

Mitul

Traveled as With family - 28 years old

Enjoyed everything. Boat staff, food and swimming stops were 10 out of 10

Louise

Lunch on a beach as opposed to at sea would have been better but other than that, it was a lovely day.

Jane Grey

Traveled as With family - 39 years old

The swimming opportunities were great, but the boat was a bit smelly. Long queues for meal, and portions sizes varied. Meal was part of trip, giving a free bottle of water would be good to include in the cost.

God oplevelse og go mad ombord. Båden stopper 4 gange alle stedet ved roligt vand i bugter og lign. Eneste minus var sæder som var noget hårde

Neil

First time to Rhodes. Lovely Island, was disappointed with the hotel we stayed in on all levels but the tui sun sand and sea boat trip was by far the highlight of our week. Brilliantly organised, staff were all great, helpful and informative and the sights we saw and areas we stopped at to swim, simply amazing. Would recommend to all.

Nick cook

Traveled as With family - 40 years old

The trip was fair and boat staff nice with food exceptional. The guide was rubbish. No guiding, no description of where we we going, things to look for. All she did it chat up the boat staff

Sister

Traveled as With friends - 39 years old

Would be nice to know the name of locations we stopped off at. Awful experience at the end, we followed the tui rep to bus 1 as advised only to find out it was the wrong 1 bus. This bus was for guests returning to a cruise ship. Therefore we had to make our own way home.

Lizzie Mae

Traveled as With family - 45 years old

Everything explained and it was family run the lunch was amazing and cooked by the lady as we cruised. Lots of swimming stops and one where we could swim to beach just an all round brilliant experience. Just would have liked less people a little overwhelming at first all packed like sardines in the heat.

Tiberiu

I enjoy boat crew hospitality and the swimming. The food was good though a watermelon desert would have been appreciated plus a water/juice/beer would have made the difference I didn’t like that the boat was fully packed on upper deck. We had to stay in the main deck where was noisy because of the boat engine and the exhaust was coming in. The trip for 2 adults and child was 120gbp. Really pricey for what was offered.

GreenB

Traveled as With family - 32 years old

Swim stops were lovely. When out at sea it was really windy and quite unpleasant. When the guide was talking you couldn’t really hear her because of the wind.

Really lovely day trip - went to 4 different coves and had between 30mins - 2 hours at each one. Lunch provided was a traditional Greek lunch with a variety of food. Had a really lovely day out

Good boat trip, run by a nice local family. Food was good and the host (mum) was very friendly. Was a nice day out.

AH

Amazing trip to some beautiful places!! Plenty of stops so well worth the money. Lovely staff and great service

Brilliant day trip - plenty of swimming opportunities, plenty of shade and sun, a great lunch and a very friendly crew on board. Definitely would recommend - we've done it twice!

Satinder Basra

Very good trip. Good guide. And very good snorkling.

We absolutely loved it! The people that run it were amazing!!! Food was wonderful as well as beautiful views ! Saw under water caves, amazing swimming spots! Love love love

The crew/owners of the boat were lovely. The food was also very tasty. negative feedbacks are: the number of people on the boat and the type of boat it was meant that space was limited. For a full day out, you would expect to be able to spread out and have some space to sun bathe.

Trip was ok, transportation home was awful, had to wait 15 mins for coach to arrive, once on board had to wait another 30 mins to leave for no apparent reason, rep was outside but did not explain why we had to wait , some members of the trip had to make there own way home using taxis.

The sun and sea boat trip was a great way to get out and about. I booked through the app and was sent an Eticket which was easy and simple however was disappointed that we weren't told we needed to bring PLF forms on the trip. We then missed out on the best seats on board whilst redoing them.

September 2021

We had the most wonderful day cruising the waters of Rhodes. 4 stops for swimming. Diving off the boat and swimming to secluded beaches. We were served a lunch that was absolutely delicious. We were out for around 5 hours. Worth every single penny. Highly recommend

Really enjoyed this trip. The boat was not too big and there was plenty of room to sunbathe. Family owned business and we felt very e welcome. Lovely lunch provided however the bar was cash only. I would recommend that you bring your own snorkel and mask as the water is crystal clear.

Great trip, fantastic food, lovely crew.

Way to many people on the boat

No social distance! Covid forms needed to be filled out before boarding and no one was told! Scramble to use pens etc this could have been done on the coach! Then no space left on board for a lot of guests! We were lucky to get the upper desk! The stops were good. Just didn’t have fun factor

Fabulous day! Well worth the trip, the crew were amazing and the lunch time as fabulous! Thank you!

maybe offer one free soft drink/coffee with the lunch.

Absolutely amazing very friendly family who run it beautiful lunch as well ..the lady goes beyond expectations really lovely

Very enjoyable trip, plenty of swim stops in the lovely clear blue sea. Very nice lunch. Would recommend highly to anyone who would like a nice day out on the water.

The title of the trip seems to suggest there will be plenty of sun and if course plenty of sea. The 4 stops where we had an opportunity to get in the sea were great. The locations were fab and the sea was so nice and warm. As for there being plenty of sun - the boat lacked enough areas to sunbathe.

Good value and great fun . Friendly people .

August 2021

Lovely boat Beautiful coves to swim Fabulous lunch

Really good trip, quite long so be prepared and if you’re covid conscious then this isn’t for you! The boat was full capacity and it was a lot of shoulder to shoulder sitting. Take your own drinks and lunch!

We really enjoyed the trip. There was not a lot of information available beforehand about the various stops and we were a bit disappointed that there were no beach stops included. However, it was still a good day! It can be tricky to get a good spot as seating on the upper deck is limited.

A busy day that was relaxing and so enjoyable. Very well organised the food was amazing and the staff were pleasant and helpful. The rep kept us informed without giving loads and loads of history about the place. Just enough so we knew a little. A very enjoyable day x

Grace the rep was lovely as were the boat/crew. Lunch was good but no water included in the meal! Plenty of other snacks and drinks available to buy. Great location and the right amount of swimming time, be aware take your snorkel, none provided. We had a lovely day- well worth it

Amazing holiday, hotel and travel experience

TUI rep was fantastic; very friendly and helpful. The trip took us to some fantastic bays and the swim time at each one was a great amount of time. The only thing that I didn't like was the overwhelming number of people on the trip during the pandemic. The boat was very full.

Was a bit concerned when we saw the boat.. not quite the fancy catamaran we expected but was really enjoyable, cheap drinks, great food, lots of stops, lovely host.

A wonderful family day jumping off the boat at 4 stops. Lunch was homemade and tasted amazing.
