Details

Rhodes, Greece, sits in the southeastern Aegean Sea, where sun-soaked shores and crystalline waters draw adventurers and sun lovers alike. Here, Catamaran Cruises Rhodes invites travelers to leave the bustle of Mandraki Harbor behind aboard the power catamaran "Boss" for a private sunset cruise that balances relaxation and the thrills of aquatic discovery. This trip stands out by blending serene coastal beauty with an intimate, personalized float through one of the island's most picturesque settings.

Departing from Mandraki Harbor, guests glide over transparent waters en route to Kalithea Springs—a spot renowned for its therapeutic mineral waters and stunning marble architecture dating back to the Italian occupation era. The cruise invites you to dive into the Aegean, swimming and snorkeling among lively marine life that thrives in these protected coves. The catamaran’s sleek design offers ample deck space to lounge while the timeless interplay of light on water colors the horizon.

As the sun dips westward, a local spread arrives onboard: fresh Greek delicacies paired with regional wines, bringing flavors as authentic and memorable as the views. The Aegean sunset here isn’t merely a backdrop — it shapes the very experience, turning the sky a deep palette of reds and golds that reflect off the island’s dramatic coastline. This journey is an immersive introduction to Rhodes’ natural and cultural riches while offering peaceful moments far from crowds.

Catamaran Cruises Rhodes occupies a special niche in the island’s recreation scene—combining comfort, exclusivity, and the natural beauty unique to the Aegean. This cruise appeals equally to those eager for water-based adventure and travelers focused on serene, immersive vistas. From couples seeking a romantic evening to groups craving a refined way to witness the sunset, this ride fits seamlessly into Rhodes’s diverse outdoor offerings.
