Choosing a boat trip in Rhodes
Rhodes is best seen from the water. The south-east coast between Lindos, Pefkos, Lardos and Kiotari is lined with sheltered bays and clear water that are hard or impossible to reach by road. The trips on this page are run by local operators and range from shared sailing cruises to fully private boats and boats you drive yourself.
Types of boat trips you can book
Each format suits a different kind of day. Open any listing to see its exact route, duration, what is included and live prices for your date.
- Sailing cruises around Lindos – relaxed tours along the Lindos coastline with swimming and snorkelling stops, some with food and drinks on board.
- Full-day yacht tours – longer days with several swim stops around Lindos for those who want to spend most of the day at sea.
- Private skippered boats from Kiotari – the boat and a local skipper for your group only, with the route adjusted to your pace.
- Self-drive boat rental – take the wheel yourself and explore Lindos and nearby bays on your own schedule.
Which boat trip is right for you?
Couples and small groups who want privacy usually prefer a private skippered trip. Families with young children often like a shorter cruise with calm swim stops. Groups of friends who want freedom choose a self-drive boat, while first-time visitors who want to see Lindos from the sea without planning anything tend to pick a shared sailing cruise.
What to consider before booking
- Meeting point – trips leave from different harbours and beaches (for example Lindos area or Kiotari). Check the listing so you can plan how to get there.
- Group size – private and self-drive boats have a maximum number of people per boat, shown on each option.
- Weather – summer winds can change sea conditions. The operator decides on the day if it is safe to sail and will contact you if plans need to change.
- What to bring – swimwear, a towel, sun protection and a hat are useful on any trip. The listing shows what is already provided on board.
- Self-drive requirements – read the rental conditions in the listing, including any age or licence requirements set by the operator.
Why so many trips focus on Lindos
Lindos is one of the most photographed places in Rhodes, with its whitewashed village and ancient Acropolis above the bay. Seeing it from the sea gives a view most visitors never get from land, and the coastline around it has quiet coves that are ideal for swimming and snorkelling.
