Catamaran Cruises Rhodes offers a distinct way to witness this island’s shoreline aboard their Lagoon 440 catamaran with the Sailing Catamaran Day Cruise “WIND.” This 6-hour journey brings guests beyond the typical tourist vantage points into serene bays like Anthony Quinn and Ladiko, known for their turquoise waters and rocky cliffs shaped by millennia of Aegean winds and waves.

Guests have ample opportunity to dive into the warm sea for swimming or snorkeling, discovering underwater landscapes colored by vibrant marine life and patches of posidonia seagrass, vital to the local ecosystem.

Onboard, the crew prepares a fresh Mediterranean lunch featuring locally sourced ingredients and authentic Greek wine, creating a culinary extension of the natural experience. The combination of sea breezes, sun-drenched cliffs, and flavors of the island offers a unique perspective on Rhodes’ maritime heritage.
