The staff gave us extensive pointers of the best stops as well as helpful tips for managing our time and gave us snacks/water/snorkeling gear and a speaker. Excellent day out - thanks guys!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We rented a boat for 5 hours. The boat was in excellent condition, we were given a thorough talk beforehand with safety instructions and tips on where to go. We had driven past the day before but the kiosk isn't always manned, however they were extremely responsive on WhatsApp and we were able to arrange at 7pm one evening a rental for the following morning. We have rented boats in a few different holiday resorts and this one was excellent.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ein unvergesslicher Nachmittag!
Wir hatten ein richtig schönes Erlebnis mit Rodanthi Rent Boat. Wir waren von 15:30 bis 19:30 Uhr auf dem Wasser und die Zeit war perfekt.
Das Boot war super modern und ließ sich auch ohne Führerschein ganz einfach fahren. Durch die tolle Einweisung vorab wussten wir genau, was zu tun ist. Wir haben tolle Tipps bekommen, wo wir hinfahren können, und haben wunderschöne Buchten zum Schnorcheln entdeckt. Der Sonnenuntergang auf dem Boot war dann das absolute Highlight.
Kann ich jedem nur empfehlen, vielen Dank für den tollen Tag!

Wir haben uns für die Yeti Box entschieden, die war mit 2 belegten Baguettes, einem Salat, Getränken und Früchten bestückt, alles sehr lecker.

 Verified Geweldige boottrip
We hebben een geweldige ochtend gehad op de motorboot. Alles werd ons goed uitgelegd en de picknickmand was goed gevuld. De boot was snel en goed te bedienen. Een top uitje voor als het heet is.

 Verified Toller Start in den Tag ☀️
Wir haben für 4 Stunden ein Boot gemietet und waren rundum begeistert! Es hat alles super funktioniert und der gesamte Ablauf war unkompliziert und entspannt. Besonders toll fanden wir, dass uns Snacks und Getränke sowie eine Musikbox zur Verfügung gestellt wurden. Auch die Schnorchelmasken waren super und haben das Erlebnis noch schöner gemacht. Die Buchten, die uns vorher gezeigt wurden, waren wunderschön und absolut sehenswert. Vielen Dank für den tollen Tag und den super Service! Wir würden jederzeit wieder ein Boot hier mieten und können den Verleih nur weiterempfehlen! 😊☀️🚤

 Verified Great Boat trip along the south coast
Very easy to rent the boat, all is done via WhatsApp, contract, rental information, trip recommendations etc. Modern, nice boats with sun roof. You also get some snacks and water for the trip. We rented for 4 hours and went south along the nice coast line to the most southern point of Crete. Very nice trip and we would rent again from Rodanthi Boats.

Our experience with Rodanthi was amazing, Stylianos was so helpful when we were enquiring so the booking process was so easy. The boats themselves were great and they gave us suggestions of where to go so we could get the most out of our experience and have the best time possible! Overall very friendly, transparent and helpful, couldn’t recommend them more!

 Verified Boat trip to Vathi beach
We did a boat trip with Rodanthis and went from Kokkinos Pirgos via Kommos and Matala to Vathi Beach and had an amazing time. The staff was very friendly and explained us before everything so that our first time boat driving was a full success.
