Two-day Sailing Cruise to Chalki Island from Rhodes

This two-day private Chalki sailing cruise takes up to six guests from Rhodes New Marina to Chalki and Alimia, with one night aboard Sailing Edisa, gourmet meals and VIP crew service.

Designed for couples, families or friends wanting more than a day at sea, the 48-hour itinerary pairs genuine sailing time with an unhurried visit to Chalki, also written Halki. You can wander around the colourful harbour, admire the neoclassical houses and settle into the island’s quiet Dodecanese rhythm before sleeping aboard the yacht.

The experience begins in Rhodes Town, where the captain and hostess welcome you aboard at New Marina. During the voyage, there is time to relax on deck mattresses, swim in clear Aegean water and use the provided snorkelling equipment. The planned return route includes a swimming stop near uninhabited Alimia, known for its sheltered turquoise bays. Keep watch near Makri Island too: wild dolphins may appear, although sightings are never guaranteed.

Dining is a defining part of the cruise. Fresh breakfasts and changing MediterAsian-inspired lunches are prepared aboard and served in the saloon, cockpit or on deck, depending on conditions. Premium C.A.I.R wines, Champagne, local beer, soft drinks, water and Captain Eduard’s signature cocktail are included. Fuel, cleaning, towels and fresh bed linen are also covered.

This is an intimate overnight voyage rather than a crowded sightseeing boat. The maximum group size is six, allowing the crew to provide attentive service and adapt daily timings to the weather and sea conditions. Travellers comparing island routes can browse Rhodes boat trips, consider a two-day Symi sailing cruise or extend the journey with a three-day Symi and Chalki cruise.

Allow time before or after sailing to explore Rhodes Old Town and Mandraki Harbour in Rhodes Town. Bring swimwear, sun protection and a light layer for the evening, and confirm the exact berth and boarding time supplied with your booking.
