Looks like there's at least 2. Check this website and click on summer times.

Good luck!

There is service every day from Bodrum to Kos and from Marmaris to Rhodes but getting from Bodrum to Rhodes often requires connecting in Kos. If you found 2 direct ferries or workable connections, then I would not expect to find any more than those.

Last year, when I was looking for this connection, I read that the Bodrum-Rhodes ferry is frequently cancelled at that time of year due to weather. If you absolutely must be in Rhodes on Sept. 21 to catch a plane or tour or something, you might want to take the Marmaris-Rhodes ferry, which goes at 9:15 and 17:00 daily. The distance is very short, so it's less likely to be affected by weather.
If your plans are fluid enough that one day's delay won't make a big difference, you can try for the Bodrum ferry. If it's cancelled, you can take the bus down to Marmaris and get to Rhodes the following day.
