 Trustindex 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 !

 Trustindex 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.

 Trustindex 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.

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 🩵

 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.

 Verified 10/10 boat rental
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.
