Charter a Catamaran in Rhodes
So why choose a catamaran over a motorboat or yacht? Catamarans, due to their duel-hull design, are generally a much more stable ride than a sailboat or other mono-hull boat. This means that your adventure onboard a catamaran can be much more relaxing and laid back. Catamarans are perfect for familes or couples that want to celebrate a special occassion. Catamarans can also typically sleep more people - they usually have space for 8 to 12 people whereas a smaller sailboat or motorboat may only accommodate around 4. Whilst on a catamaran, you can spend more time sun-bathing, have a dip into the crystal clear waters surrounding Rhodes and make friends with the local sea-life whilst snorkelling. You can rent a catamaran with or without a captain. If you have experience with catamarans and have the relevant licences then be your own captain and take your own route. When you rent a catamaran with a captain, they are not just your captain. They are also usually somebody with a local expertise who can take you to the perfect snorkelling spots, litte-known beaches and they will also keep you safe!
How much does it cost to charter a catamaran in Rhodes?
Like most boat rentals, the price of your charter depends on the time of year, the duration of your charter and the size, age and model of the catamaran you charter. If you are renting your catamaran in the summer, during the high season, it will be more expensive than in the low season. But of course, the weather will then be at its best. If you charter your catamaran during the low season, the weather will be colder and it is unlikely that you will be able to spend time sunbathing and the seas will also be cooler. However, the streets will be a lot quieter, the beaches more empty and the price of your charter much lower. During the high season, in August, you can expect to pay from 5,600€ for a catamaran that sleeps up to 10 people for a week. That comes down to around 560€ per person per week. That is the beauty of chartering a catamaran for a group - the price is split between you and can often result in a great price for such an experience at sea. To charter a boat in the low season, the same catamaran would only cost you 2,710€ per week. That means only 271€ per person for a week, or less than €40 per person per day. Of course, these prices are just a guide and so you can expect them to be more expensive if you are chartering a larger or more luxurious catamaran and to be slightly cheaper if you a chartering a smaller one.
