Choosing your Rhodes catamaran cruise
A Rhodes catamaran cruise is a useful choice when the boat itself matters as much as the destination. Look at where you will sit, what is served and which equipment comes with the outing. The daytime options here pair lunch with water activities, while the dinner option shifts the focus to an evening on board. Choosing between them starts with the shape of your day rather than a promise of particular sea conditions.
The departure point is also part of that choice. A meeting near Evangelismos Church and a boarding arrangement at Rhodes New Marina call for different arrival plans. Keep the harbour name with your booking details and allow time to find the actual boat, rather than heading to a familiar waterfront and expecting every catamaran to leave from there.

Lunch with paddleboards, a longer day with brunch and water equipment, or an evening buffet: match the onboard package to your plans.
Lunch and paddleboards near Evangelismos Church
The six-hour daytime catamaran outing includes lunch, drinks and snacks, together with snorkelling equipment, paddleboards, floating pool noodles and life jackets. That combination suits a day where spending time aboard and using the supplied equipment are both part of the appeal. It is a straightforward package to compare if you want lunch without building the day around a lengthy menu.
The meeting instructions lead from Evangelismos Church towards the kiosk and then to the catamaran. Use the boat identification in your confirmation when you arrive. The snorkelling page helps if equipment is your main reason for booking; having a mask and fins available is a different service from a guided underwater activity.
A longer day from Rhodes New Marina
The six-and-a-half-hour New Marina cruise has a broader onboard programme. A light brunch and a lunch prepared on board are included, along with welcome drinks and unlimited water, soft drinks, local beer and white wine. Sunbeds and shaded lounges are listed as part of the catamaran’s setup. The package also includes an onboard toilet, an outdoor shower, music and Wi-Fi.
For time on the water, the equipment list includes snorkelling gear, stand-up paddleboards, a sea scooter, swimming jackets, life jackets and floating equipment. There is also an inflatable slide and fishing gear. Pick this outing for the equipment and onboard arrangements that interest you, without assuming that every person will want to use everything. Access and use should fit the crew’s instructions and conditions on the day.
Boarding is directly at the sailing catamaran in Rhodes New Marina, with arrival requested 20 minutes before the cruise. An onboard chef preparing lunch describes the meal service; it is not a description of an exclusively chartered boat for your party. If exclusivity matters, keep that requirement separate from food or comfort features when comparing products.
Dinner on an evening catamaran
The three-hour dinner cruise departs from Mandraki. It includes a buffet of grilled chicken, pasta and potato salads, Greek and green salads, tzatziki, hummus, aubergine salad, olives, feta and bread. Wine, beer, juice, soft drinks and bottled water are included. Snorkelling equipment, pool noodles, life jackets, an outdoor shower and indoor toilets are also listed.
The offer has several catamaran options, so keep the selected boat option attached to the meal and equipment description when booking. This is the choice for an evening meal on board rather than a longer lunch outing. The sunset cruise guide develops the evening decision in more detail, including how a dinner programme differs from snacks and a longer island excursion.
Fit the boat day into the rest of your stay
Choose a daytime departure if lunch and equipment use are your priority; choose the dinner outing if you want to keep the main part of the day available for other plans. Leave time for reaching the correct harbour in either case. A longer advertised cruise does not tell you how much time will be spent in the water, and the photograph of a bay is not a route promise.
Use the weather page to think through heat and changing conditions, and keep a land activity in reserve if your sailing plans change. The activities overview helps build that alternative. Bring what you personally need for sun protection and changing after swimming, even when towels, clothing or other extras are not part of the meal-and-equipment package you chose.
