Fast boats · GREECE SPEEDBOAT TOURS
The good Greek day usually starts at a jetty and the fast boats reach the islands the ferries skip. These 15 cover Symi, the Zakynthos caves and the Ionian coves, priced with sailing times.
Cruise from Rhodes to Symi for colorful harbor views, five hours of free time, local food, shopping, and a comfortable speedboat ride.
“Beautiful boat ride with perfect amount of time on the island. But just be aware there is not much shade on Symi and it’s BOILING!”
Review of Rhodes Sea Lines’ fast boat trip to Symi, with three hours on the island and a clear-water swim at Saint George’s Bay.
“Enjoyable time had by all! Fast boat wasn’t a bad ride at all, after reading a couple of reviews I was a bit worried but it was smooth and relaxing. Prefered the shorter journey to Symi than some of the boats offered. Symi is worth the visit, very pretty. Had a nice meal and shared it with the fish. And got to swim in St George’s bay on the return. Would recommend!”

“We had a fantastic family adventure. Our guide was excellent and knowledgeable. Swimming in the caves and beside the beaches was fab. We did see a turtle which was excellent. Would advise to take swim shoes or crocs as beaches and sea rocky otherwise brilliant tour. Would definitely do it again x”
Review of Hersonissos Jet Boat Tour with 90 km/h turns, snorkeling at Saint George’s Bay, hotel pickup, and family-friendly fun.

Explore Zakynthos by speedboat, swim at Myzithres and Keri Caves, and search for loggerhead turtles in the Marine Park.
“The tour was absolutely amazing! The amount of effort the team puts into creating this experience far exceeds the price. There's plenty of time to swim, and the boat gets impressively close to the caves. A truly unforgettable experience”

Review of Milos’ 5-hour Volcano Boat cruise to Kleftiko, Sykia Cave, and quiet swimming spots, with snorkeling, snacks, and free photos.
“We had an amazing day with the ‘Volcano’ crew exploring the southern part of Milo’s. Although it was quite windy that morning, we stopped at 4 different swimming/snorkelling spots which were very well protected from the wind and with calm, absolutely stunning waters & views. The crew were all very friendly, fun & knowledgeable. Would 100% recommend this tour - loved it!”
Review of the $53 Paxos and Antipaxos speedboat tour from Lefkimmi, with Blue Caves, swimming, Gaios, tips, and honest drawbacks.
“Fast boat, great day out and perfect way to visit the islands. One more swim stop would have been perfect on the way back.”
Review of the fast boat from Faliraki to Symi, with three hours in town and a 30-minute swim at St. George’s Bay.
“We stay at Amada colossos, so we literally boarded the boat directly from our beach hotel, which was very handy. We are regulars so you have been to Symi before however the no needed long and overcrowded bus transfer to Rhodes harbour is a game changer. We loved the trip and the service”
Combine Rhodes Old Town and beautiful Symi on a long, good-value day trip from Lindos with hotel pickup and speedboat travel.
“Great trip. Transport on time and great value for money!”
Review of the Rhodes high-speed boat to Lindos, with practical tips on timing, views, Acropolis access, swim stops, comfort, and value.
“Very good service, efficient and friendly crew. Would definitely recommend using this service again.”
Reach Lindos from Rhodes by fast boat, with free time for the Acropolis, village, beaches, and an optional Tsambika Bay swim.
“Brilliant! Comfortable boat journey leaving plenty of time to explore Lindos in our own time. Boat was delayed setting off but they made sure to delay pick up time so we didn’t lose out! Friendly captain and crew, thank you!”
Review of the Rhodes to Symi speedboat trip, with Panormitis Monastery, free time, practical tips, costs, timing, and honest drawbacks.
“Really enjoyed my day in Symi. Really glad the monastery was done as soon as we got off the boat. Symi is a gorgeous island, adored getting to walk around the port and all the backstreets.”
Review of Crete’s small-group speedboat cruise to Balos and Gramvousa, with practical advice on timing, swimming, comfort, cost, and crowds.
“I had the best time on this trip. The captain was an amazing guide and handled the boat perfectly, especially since it was a windier day. We were lucky enough to be the only ones there when we arrive to Gramvousa, and made it to Bali's before it became over crowded with tourists arriving on the larger ferries. We were also offered complimentary sandwiches and drinks from the captain. This trip is perfect if you are looking to avoid the larger crowds and explore the world famous beaches in a smaller group. I highly recommend!!!”
Review of Milos’ five-hour speedboat cruise to Kleftiko, with caves, snorkeling, swimming, snacks, drinks, and free photo footage.
“This boat experience was our favorite activity out of everything we did while visiting Greece!!! We made 4 stops that were sufficient time to snorkel, swim, take pictures, rest and relax! Sikia cave and Kleftiko are obviously highlights but were insanely gorgeous and the boat crew kept us away from other boats/tours. The next two stops were also incredible. One was for snorkeling following a crew member and the other was a stop where there were a few tiny beaches. Go pro pics were taken underwater at the first stop and drone pics were taken at the tiny beach stop. So fun and the pictures were sent the next day…”
Pick a hull, a cave or a reef.
