Yacht Charters
From Rhodes

Explore the Dodecanese Islands from Rhodes!

Rhodes is undoubtedly the most popular, cosmopolitan island of the Dodecanese. It features one of the most well-preserved medieval castles in Europe (a World Heritage Site in fact), a castle that is still pretty much the center of the main city of Rhodes. Once the base of operations of the Knights Order of Saint John, the Medieval Old Town is now packed with restaurants, bars and sun-baked, bougainvillea-filled verandas. Studded with monuments from the classical to the hellenistic to Byzantium to crusader and ottoman times, Rhodes is definitely a must for anyone even remotely interested in history.

Our yacht charter base on the island of Rhodes is perfect for exploring the Dodecanese Islands including the popular islands of Kos and Patmos, as well as the relaxed islands of Leros and Symi.

Rhodes is easily accessible by charter flights from many European countries and is a short connecting flight for those flying in to Athens.

All of the 14 beautiful, unique islands in the Dodecanese are worth visiting and sailing around. One who wishes to see most, if not all, of the marvels we call the Dodecanese, should reserve sufficient time to do so, which is precisely our first and foremost recommendation!

One week charters from Rhodes will usually include heading north towards Kos with stops at the islands of Symi and its picturesque harbor of breathtaking beauty, the island of Nysiros and its still active volcano, and the laid-back, unassuming island beauties of Tilos and Halki.

Two week charter plans can incorporate the islands of Kalymnos further north, with its rich tradition of sponge fishing, laid back Leros, and the beautiful island of Patmos with its famous 13th century Monastery of Saint John. Each of these islands can easily fill up days of your time! So feel free to plot any course you like, and in case you need advice or possible route suggestions, simply ask us!
