This is a compact, seaside day that moves fast: a short panoramic city tour of Rhodes’ Old Town and its windmills and palace, then a sail to multiple bays for fishing—with the crew changing location three to four times to chase different species—before a swim and snorkel at the natural Kalithea caves while a barbecue of fresh catch is prepared aboard.

THE LANDMARKS

Panoramic sweep of Rhodes’ Old Town

The trip opens with a short city tour that stops for panoramic photos of the Old Town, the windmills and the Palace of the Grand Master, setting a historic backdrop before you head to sea.

THE FISHING

Multi‑stop fishing across bays

The crew moves the boat through three to four different fishing spots, dropping a para anchor at bays so everyone can try to catch a variety of fish with guidance from experienced staff.

THE SWIM & MEAL

Kalithea caves, snorkeling and onboard barbecue

After fishing the boat heads to the Kalithea caves where natural caverns open for swimming and snorkeling while the crew prepares a barbecue that includes grilling the fish you've caught and a selection of other options.

What the day feels like

What the five hours feel like

The rhythm of the outing alternates between short, social bursts—photos at the Old Town viewpoints, moving between fishing anchorages—and slower stretches on the water: casting lines with crew support, then cooling off with a swim at the Kalithea caves while a communal barbecue is readied aboard. Drinks are served cold throughout the day, and the crew handles the cooking and fish grilling.
