Great day on the water with the familyPosted on Finn 10September 28, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Unkomplizierte Buchung via WhatsApp, einfache Anmeldung vor Ort, Tipps für Fahrtrouten (wir empfehlen nach Süden zu fahren), an Bord gab es Snacks und Schnorchelausrüstung Insgesamt eine sehr gute ErfahrungPosted on Markus K.September 28, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We rented a boat from Rodanthi Rent Boat on September 23, 2025. Beforehand, I chatted with the provider in detail about the procedure and conditions via WhatsApp. All questions were always answered in detail and, above all, promptly. When the boat was handed over, we received detailed instructions—including the applicable rules for sailing along the coast. The boats are equipped with life jackets, distress signals, and all other important items. An auxiliary motor is also on board and was explained to us. The boat itself has a sufficiently powerful 30 hp motor. Overall, the rental and return process was handled very professionally. I can therefore highly recommend renting a boat from Rodanthi Rent Boat.Posted on NicoSeptember 24, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Preis Leistung super.

Hervorzuheben war insbesondere der Service, die schnelle Erreichbarkeit und die Abwicklung. Die Preisgestaltung und auch die Spritberechnung ist transparent und fair. Das Boot war in einen Top-Zustand und sauber. Vielen Dank für diesen einmaligen Tag !Posted on chris counsellSeptember 18, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Located in a quite harbour with parking right next to where you'll be setting off from. Options to go either way out of the harbour. We went south down the coast to vathi beach and had a good morning snorkeling and exploring. The boats are well maintained and the instruction given, gave us all the information we needed to enjoy our day. Complementary snack pack with speaker and fuel paid for on return in cash. Communication with owners before arrival was excellent and we would definitely recommend these guys . Google maps takes you to pretty much exactly where you'll be parking.
