6 Cabins Yacht Charter Rhodes Marina

Major fleet hub in the SE Aegean, RHO airport with direct European flights, and launch point for the Dodecanese circuit: Symi, Kos, Tilos, Halki.

Major international airport; transfers to Mandraki or commercial port 15–30 min.

Can be strong through island channels — usually steadier than northern Cyclades but still demands careful passage planning.

Rhodes → Symi → Tilos or Kos → return — or south to Halki and Karpathos with more time.

Standard Greek requirements — accepted licence, second crew, originals at check-in.

May–June and September–October; July–August brings strong Meltemi and peak crowds.

Marmaris and other Turkish ports are accessible — requires crew list, Transit Log, and advance clearance; verify current rules with your operator.

Doable in shoulder season with shorter hops; Meltemi peaks need experience.

Recommended for a first Dodecanese week — Turkish water clearance adds further complexity.

Compare Dodecanese operators, mandatory extras, and base locations side by side.

Mandraki, Rhodes commercial port, and Faliraki — confirm your operator pontoon in the voucher.

Well-supplied in Rhodes town; stock up before longer southern hops.

Ship papers, passports, certs, voucher — and if going to Turkey: Transit Log + crew list.

Daylight only typically on bareboat charter.

Protect seagrass; MPA rules around national park islands in the Dodecanese.

Channel 16; Greek Coast Guard active, and Turkish maritime if crossing the border.

Some smaller islands have limited water — fill tanks in Rhodes before departing.

Greece is Schengen; Turkey is a separate entry — day tripper procedures differ from full cruising clearance.

Light summer clothes, non-slip shoes, sun protection, EU adapters, Turkish Lira if visiting Turkey.
