The boat in Rhodes Marina was very well maintained and clean, and the Istion staff were very good. An excellent had-over briefing, and support, and staff were there to help when returning. Check out was straightforward. In all a great charter, and we would use Istion again.

An excellent charter with a Professional and friendly Company who maintain their yachts to a very high standard. Would highly recommend Istion Yachting

Distances between the islands are significant (between 25 and 40 minutes). The coasts of the islands are very arid.

When chartering from Rhodes, there are not many options on Rhodes itself, but the smaller islands are just wonderful, especially Symi, Nicerios and Tilos.

Excellent sailing area…lovely harbours, good sailing distances, fresh breezes. Many Tavernas, though many in more remote locations closed in May. Everywhere welcoming and inexpensive quayside berthing.

Rent a boat with or without a captain in Rhodes, Greece

Rhodes island is an absolute must-see if you are planning to charter a boat in Greece. Beautiful beaches, unique landscapes, and an immense cultural heritage make Rhodes island a perfect boating trip destination. 

What is the best time to charter a boat on Rhodes? 

The high season lasts from June until the end of August. However, sailing in spring and autumn is also a treat, as you get to avoid the crowds, and the weather is still fantastic.

Pricing and information about hiring a boat in Rhodes

If you want to hire your boat directly on Rhodes island, you have two main options; The city of Rhodes or the Khatara bay, a resort south of the main city. Another good option is to rent a boat in Crete and make your way to Rhodes via Karpathos island. You can choose between sailboats, motorboats, and catamarans. Depending on your qualifications, you can rent a bareboat or a boat with a captain if you lack experience or want a stress free vacation.

When renting a boat in Rhodes, like in most tourist destinations in Greece, prices can go up during the high season (June, July, and August). Also, make sure to properly budget all your needs (fuel, port fees, food and entertainment) when you rent your boat.  

  • Rent a motorboat in Rhodes from 200€ a day 
  • Rent a sailboat or a catamaran in Rhodes from 300€ a day 

Rhodes overview 

Rhodes is the largest of the Dodecanese islands and was once home to the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Make sure to visit the Medival town in Rhodes, which was declared a world heritage site, Tsambika beach and the palace of the Grand Master of the Knights of Rhodes. For the gourmet sailers, try the country-style bread made with fermented rye, ouzo (the local spirit), and all the mezes! 

Boat availability in Rhodes

Make sure to plan at least two to three months before your arrival, Rhodes is a popular sailing destination. 

Do you need a license to hire a boat in Rhodes?

If your boating license was issued within the European Union, it would automatically be accepted anywhere in Greece. If your licence was issued outside the EU, it would only be accepted if it meets EU standards. Make sure to check before you rent your boat in Rhodes. You will also need to translate your license if it is not in English (or greek).

You can hire a motorboat in Rhodes without a licence if the horsepower is under 30. However, if you want to rent a boat with 30hp or more, you will need a licence. 

If you decide to rent a boat without a captain, you will need to present a nautical CV stating previous experiences, routes and vessels you have used. 

If you lack experience, renting a boat with a captain could be a good idea. Keep in mind that most captains are locals and will be able to show you off-the-beaten-track spots and give you insights into the local culture.
