About This Experience

A short private sailing escape departing from Mandraki Harbour. Spend two relaxed hours aboard with the whole yacht to yourselves, stopping at a nearby bay (such as Kallithea Springs or Anthony Quinn Bay) for a swim and a snorkel before sailing back to the Old Town. Ideal for a sunset date, a proposal or a quick afternoon on the water.

Private 2-Hour Sailing Boat Tour in Rhodes is timed around golden hour rather than distance. The crew focuses on positioning the vessel for west-facing views as Rhodes Town lights begin to glow. It is a relaxed, social atmosphere suited to couples and groups who already explored the island during the day. Dress in layers and book mid-week in peak season for a quieter deck.

Sunset sailings fill quickly in July and August. Arrive early, bring a light jacket for the return after dark, and expect gentle background music rather than a party atmosphere on most vessels. Photography is best from the stern or upper deck once the captain positions the boat west.
