Our Captains reviews
EXCELLENT Based on 255 reviews Posted on Google Manon ProvostJuly 10, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nous avons passé une excellente après midi à deux sur l’un des bateaux de Rodanthi Boats. La personne qui nous a accueilli et qui nous a expliqué les consignes était très professionnelle et sérieuse. Il y a beaucoup de liberté dans la navigation, ce qui nous permet de vraiment ce sentir libre d’explorer les côtes crétoises. Très bon rapport qualité prix, je recommande fortement !Posted on Google AnasJuly 5, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nous n’avons malheureusement pas eu la chance de naviguer en mer avec Rodanthi en raison des restrictions liées aux vents, mais notre interaction avec l’équipe était vraiment agréable. Notre interlocuteur a été très sympathique et nous a recommandé des solutions alternatives. Nous espérons pouvoir revenir naviguer à bord de vos bateaux. Merci encore.Posted on Google Dirk van de RietJuly 2, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Super mooie ochtend gehad op de boot van Rodanthi. De instructeur was erg vriendelijk en duidelijk. Ook het contact met Rodanthi via whatsapp was top!Posted on Google P.June 26, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Loved it! Easy company and trustworthy. The Greek way.Posted on Google NGNJune 25, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This morning we rented a boat with Rodanthi. It was the best experience we had this vacation. The communication in advance was really good, and clear. They answered every question that we have and helped us every way that they could with the preparations. The boat is easy to use and we had a really good time. It has everything you will need. They provided a music box, water, there is ladder on board if you want to swim (which we did). I would recommend everyone to rent a boat here. 10/10 experience.Posted on Google Frank AdlerJune 23, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Sehr nette Mitarbeiter, professionelle Einführung und man bekommt sogar eine Kühlbox mit Snacks und Getränken. Auch der Preis ist mehr als gerechtfertigt. Das war eins unserer Highlights 🩵Posted on Google Lilly EhrenbergJune 16, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was a great experience!

Le bateau tien bien la mer. L équipement est complet, gps, prise 12v, eau .... 2 masques de plongée a bord. Le 30cv est pas rapide mais consomme tres peu. Le loueur est tres sympa et de bon conseil. Bonne continuationPosted on Tripadvisor Journey16478414659Verified Boating around Southern Crete What a fantastic day, easy to organise, great instruction and away we went. Headed south along the coast, stopping for the occasional swim. Arrived back in the harbour, met by our friendly instructor. Paid for the fuel and away. Nothing could have been easier.Posted on Tripadvisor skyblues1Verified One of the best days of our trip! My husband organised to hire a boat through this company and they were super helpful. It was our first time taking a boat out by ourselves and the guys couldn’t have been more friendly and reassuring. We were given really clear instructions and recommendations on where to take the boat. They also provided snorkel equipment, Bluetooth speaker and a cool bag full with lunch, snacks and water - a really lovely touch! We loved it so much that we actually extended our hire by an hour via WhatsApp. We stopped by Vathi beach and there was no one else there. We saw some amazing birds, fish and even a giant turtle. When we arrived back, the guys were waiting for us and helped guide us bringing the boat to a stop. They gave recommendations in the area and we had a lovely chat. Would recommend to anyone! Thank you 🤩Posted on Tripadvisor Tod MVerified Highlight of trip Incredible trip and very helpful staff. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting to explore the area. The highlight of our Greece trip.Posted on Tripadvisor Catherine.dick3@telenet.beVerified De beste ervaring Een super leuke ervaring. Zeer vriendelijke ploeg .
