GroupVerified booking3 weeks ago5/5Good value for money, easy to book, staff all friendly and helpful. Beautiful trip, couldn't fault it.Aug 20265/5Took the speed boat with my partner and honestly it was such a blast. We were picked up right at our hotel (love when things are EASY like that) and the ride to the dock was pretty quick. The boat itself? SLICK and fast, felt like we were flying over the water. Symi is gorgeous, full of those pastel houses and lil cafes. Had a lazy lunch by the harbour, got some sun, then jumped back on the boat. St George’s Bay stop for swimming was def the highlight – the water’s unreal, so clear you can see your toes. Staff were super chill, even let us take turns up front for photos. Only thing: bring extra snacks, you’ll get hungry w/ all the swimming. Would do again in a heartbeat!Aug 20265/5Okay, so I dragged my family (husband + two teens) onto this boat trip and everyone was a little grumpy at first (early morning, lol). But as soon as we got moving, moods changed. The hotel pick-up was on the dot and the boat is really modern, felt safe. Kids loved jumping off at St George’s Bay. Symi is so pretty it almost looks fake?? We got olive pie at a bakery there, highly recommend. Crew was helpful with our bags. Only thing—sun was strong, so pack sunscreen!Aug 20264/5Great trip overall. Went with two friends and we all agreed the boat ride was coooool (seriously, it’s speedy). Symi town is like a postcard. Only downside: boat was a bit crowded, esp on the way back, but we still found seats together. The swim stop at St George’s Bay was icy cold but refreshing. Wish we coulda stayed a bit longer at the bay. Staff were friendly, got us back right on time.Jul 20265/5Whole family went – 3 generations! Super smooth hotel pick-up, which made things easier for my grandma. Boat was fast but didn’t feel scary. Symi is reeeally beautiful, we got ice cream and wandered around. The swimming stop was the highlight for my little brother, he’s still talking abt the fish. Only complaint: wish there were more shaded seats on the boat.
