The Experience

You board a modern catamaran built for comfort, with sunbeds and shaded lounges spread across the deck so you can find your spot before the boat leaves Rhodes. The day unfolds at the pace you set: some travelers stretch out immediately with a welcome drink and Mediterranean snacks, while others head straight to the water. The boat carries everything you need—snorkeling masks and fins, stand-up paddleboards, a sea scooter, an inflatable slide and noodles—so you can move between activities without planning or renting separately.

The first stop is Anthony Quinn Bay, the emerald cove named after the actor who filmed there; the water is calm enough for snorkeling or paddleboarding, and shallow enough for floating. From there the crew takes you to Afandou Cave, where rock formations meet the sea in sheltered inlets, then to Ladiko Beach with its unique formations and clear water. At each stop you choose: jump in and snorkel, try the sea scooter, paddleboard out, or stay on deck. The inflatable flamingo float is there if you want the photo; the noodles are there if you want to drift. A light brunch arrives mid-morning, and a full gourmet lunch prepared onboard comes later, with unlimited local Greek wine and beer, soft drinks, water and coffee available all day.

The boat has an onboard toilet and outdoor shower, so you can rinse off between swims. Life jackets and swimming jackets are provided. The crew speaks English and moves at your rhythm—there's no schedule to keep, no stops you must make, and no pressure to do anything but what appeals to you that day. If you're traveling with small children, the crew can provide a box of toys; if it's a special occasion, let them know and they'll have a branded gift waiting.
