Two-Day Sailing Cruise From Rhodes to Symi Island
About this boat trip
This two-day private Symi sailing cruise departs from Rhodes New Marina and takes up to six guests to Symi, Panormitis and Seskli with meals, drinks, swimming and personalised yacht service.
Sailing Edisa leaves Rhodes Town for an overnight journey through the Dodecanese. The longer itinerary gives you time to appreciate Symi’s pastel neoclassical harbour, maritime character and quieter coastline without squeezing everything into a day trip. It is particularly well suited to couples, close friends and small families celebrating a special occasion.
What you experience
In Symi, step ashore to wander the waterfront and lanes framed by colourful mansions. The cruise also visits Panormitis Monastery, an important island landmark dedicated to Archangel Michael and set beside a sheltered bay. Around Seskli, clear water and peaceful coves create inviting conditions for swimming and snorkelling. The exact sailing order and swim locations may change with wind and sea conditions.
Life aboard is an important part of this trip. Fresh breakfasts and MediterAsian-inspired lunches are prepared for you, accompanied by premium C.A.I.R wines, Champagne, local beer, soft drinks, water and Captain Eduard’s signature cocktail. Between stops, settle onto the deck mattresses, dine in the saloon or upper cockpit, and use the supplied snorkelling equipment. A professional captain and hostess provide attentive service throughout the cruise.
Planning your trip
Departure is from New Marina in Rhodes Town. Confirm the meeting time, sleeping arrangements, dietary requirements and final inclusions before booking, especially when travelling with children. Pack a light overnight bag rather than a large suitcase, along with swimwear, sun protection and a warmer layer for the evening.
Travellers comparing Rhodes boat trips can view shorter and longer routes before deciding. For an extra island and night aboard, consider the 3-day Symi and Chalki sailing cruise. Guests planning a broader Dodecanese itinerary can also compare the 4-day Symi, Tilos and Chalki sailing cruise.
