Yes Yeşil are still running as far as the ferry is concerned - the business that packed up was the transfer side of it.

Incidentally ....do you know how long the journey takes? Can't find that on the website....

Kind regards

Chris
Approximately 90 minutes. However this can be considerably longer in rougher seas, we had a return journey once that took the best part of 4 hours!

Yesil Dalyan are  still in  business!!!   Their website is up and running showing the different months and days that they are using either the ferry or catermaran to Rhodes.  They are still operating as an agent for some travel companies.  They have an office in Fethiye near the Tuesday market but most of their business is now being conducted from their office in Karagozler (near the passport police office).  Their contact telephone number for the Rhodes office is 0090 252  612 40 15.  They have a young lady called Emine (speaks English) working for them that is very helpful and has been with them a number of years.

If you go over to Rhodes on the Aegean boat, the trip is OK.  However IF they use the dolphin, the journey time is in the lap of the Gods, because it's a knackered wreck which hopefully will no longer been in service.  The seats up front are barely attached to the floor and the vessel limps along, which is shocking.  On one of my visits, the dolphin left two hours late and took almost three hours to get back to Fethiye in very high seas.  It was a nightmare, the waves were coming right over the thing - people were hysterical and children were in a right state. Getting on the thing in Rhodes was a joke - NO form of control.  Some passengers had flown into Rhodes and were travelling over to Fethiye (four children & four adults with their luggage), it was horrendous.  Best of luck.  On the plus side, Rhodes is beautiful but take euros with you otherwise you will get ripped off with their exchange rate.

We must have been lucky, never had a bad journey over or back.  Also, if you want to get money, there is an ATM just as you come under the big bridge to the old town, it's on the right hand side next to a a gift shop.

Had some pretty bad journeys in our time - one over to Rhodes where everyone around me seemed to have a paper bag pressed up over their mouth :/

Also some returns that took hours longer than advertised - seemed the old Flying Poseidon couldn't do tricky things, like waves.
