There is no finer way to end a day in Rhodes than on a private sunset cruise. As the Aegean turns to gold and the medieval walls of the Old Town glow in the last light, the deck of a luxury yacht is yours alone – a glass of champagne in hand, the engines idling in a quiet bay. Our private sunset cruises in Rhodes are completely bespoke: no fixed timetable, no strangers on board, just you, your guests, the crew and the horizon. It is the most requested experience we offer, and the most romantic hour on the water.

Why choose a private sunset cruise?

A shared sunset boat trip means a crowded deck and a fixed route. A private charter means the opposite. You decide when to leave, where to drop anchor for a final swim, and how long to linger while the sky changes colour. Couples celebrating an anniversary, families watching the light fade together, and groups toasting a special occasion all share the same thing on board – privacy, space, and undivided attention from the crew.

The golden-hour route

We time our departure so you reach the calm western bays as the sun begins to drop. A typical evening glides past the Rhodes lighthouse and marina, pauses for a swim and drinks in a sheltered cove, and turns back with the illuminated Old Town on the horizon. Because the cruise is private, the route is a suggestion, not a rule – tell us if you would rather chase the light toward Kallithea or anchor early for dinner on deck.

Champagne, and the details that matter

Chilled champagne or Greek sparkling wine, fresh fruit and light bites are part of the all-inclusive service, along with towels and snorkelling gear if the mood for a last swim strikes. For proposals, birthdays and honeymoons we quietly arrange the extras – flowers, a cake, a photographer to capture the moment. Our sleek Riva Aquariva 33 is a favourite for couples, while the Mazu 42 suits larger groups who want room to spread out.

 

Sunset cruise questions

How long is a private sunset cruise?

Most sunset cruises last around three hours, timed so you are on the water for golden hour and the sail back after dark. We can extend the evening or add dinner on request.

What is included on the cruise?

The private yacht, a professional skipper, fuel, champagne or sparkling wine, light refreshments, towels and snorkelling gear are all included. The price is per boat, not per person.

Which boat is best for a romantic sunset?

For couples we recommend the Riva Aquariva 33, an icon of Italian design. For families or groups the Mazu 42 offers more deck space. Tell us your group size and we will match the right yacht.
