All Inclusive Luxury Cruise to Symi

About This Experience

Full-day luxury yacht cruise to Symi Island with three unforgettable stops. Explore the colourful harbour of Symi with its pastel neoclassical houses for two hours, then swim and enjoy a crew-prepared Greek lunch at the dramatic St George Bay (Disalonas). Finish with snorkeling at the private island of Seskli. All-inclusive: water, beer, wine, soft drinks, champagne, fresh fruits and lunch (moussaka or lasagna with Greek salad and bread).

All Inclusive Luxury Cruise to Symi is one of the most requested day trips from Rhodes. The neoclassical harbour of Gialos looks unlike anywhere else in the Dodecanese, with pastel mansions rising from the waterfront and small boats tied along the quay. The unhurried pace ashore is what guests remember most: coffee by the harbour, a climb up the Kali Strata steps, or lunch at a taverna before the return call. Shared boats offer the best value for couples and small groups; private speedboats suit those who want custom timing or a stop at St George Bay. We confirm operator, pier number and boarding time with you before travel so the morning runs smoothly.

Boarding is on a first-come basis for the best deck spots on busy summer mornings. The open-sea leg toward Symi takes 75–90 minutes; sit mid-ship if you prefer less motion. Mobile signal drops briefly mid-crossing. Euros are accepted everywhere in Gialos. Toilets are on board but queues form before arrival in Symi, so use them during the swim stop when possible.
