The boat slips out of Mandraki Harbor at 09:00 and the island opens like a map — limestone cliffs catching the morning light, the Aegean pushing a steady, cold breeze across the deck. On this eight‑hour circumnavigation of Rhodes’ east and south shores, the sea sets the pace: short swims, a long beach break, and a pause at thermal springs that once drew spa-seekers in the 1920s.

Wildlife
History
Antony Quinn Beach gained fame from the film The Guns of Navarone; Lindos and its Acropolis visible from sea reflect Rhodes’ long Dodecanese history and classical heritage.
Conservation
Seagrass beds (Posidonia) around Rhodes are fragile—boats should avoid anchoring on meadows and visitors must avoid disturbing marine life; use reef‑safe products and follow crew guidance.

Morning departure — be ready by 09:00
The boat leaves Mandraki at 09:00; hotel pickups run 30–60 minutes earlier and only from the north side of Rhodes, so confirm your pickup point the day before.
Use reef‑safe sunscreen
The cruise includes snorkeling and time in shallow bays; choose reef‑safe sunscreen to protect local Posidonia meadows and marine life.
Prep for seasickness
Even on calm days, rolling or chop can make the crossing uncomfortable—take medication beforehand if you’re prone to motion sickness.
Wear firm shoes for onshore access
Some landings use short ladders or rocky paths; rubber‑soled shoes make steps and ruins easier to negotiate.
Swimsuit & quick‑dry towel
You’ll have multiple swim stops and a towel for drying between swims.

Reef‑safe sunscreen
Protects your skin and the fragile seagrass and marine habitats you’ll be snorkeling over.

Non‑slip deck shoes or sandals
Firm soles help with boarding, ladders and short rocky walks onshore.
Snorkel mask (personal)
Rentals may be available but a personal mask fits better and improves your experience in clear coves.
