Why by Boat

Why See Rhodes From the Water

Most of these places are at their worst at midday, when the coach tours and hire cars arrive. From the deck of a sailing yacht you see them the other way round: you anchor in the clear water the crowds are queuing to reach, swim straight off the boat and move on when you have had enough.

  • Anchor in the best swimming water, no scramble down from a car park
  • Visit two or three bays in one day instead of committing to one beach
  • Snorkelling gear, food and drinks already on board
  • See the coastline, cliffs and old town walls you simply cannot see from land
