This is Aquinox Yachting’s Lagoon 46 catamaran charter Rhodes option. Setting course from Rhodes New Marina, this 2021-built Lagoon 46 offers a rare combination of volume, stability and unhurried comfort for exploring the Dodecanese. Fibreglass-hulled, sailing under Greek flag, she is offered here on a bareboat basis for charterers seeking to reach the eastern Aegean’s most storied coastline at their own pace — from the medieval ramparts of Rhodes Old Town to the pine-clad anchorages of Symi and Halki.
Built by Lagoon (Groupe Beneteau, France), this 14-metre (46ft) cruising catamaran carries a 7.92m beam, giving saloon and cockpit volume well beyond a monohull of comparable length. Six cabins sleep up to twelve guests across five heads, suiting both a multi-family charter and a larger group of friends sharing the Dodecanese in comfort. Twin 45hp diesel auxiliaries deliver a cruising speed of 22 knots and a range of 500 nautical miles, with 1,040 litres of fuel and 600 litres of water carried aboard for extended time at anchor.
Below decks, the Lagoon 46’s signature flybridge layout keeps saloon and cockpit on a single level, with the galley positioned for direct service to both the interior dining table and the aft cockpit — ideal for the boat-in lunches and long, unhurried dinners that define chartering in this part of Greece. Cabins are finished in light oak joinery with generous hull-window glazing; each ensuite head is fitted with an electric toilet and separate shower compartment. Twin chart plotters at the helm, paired with autopilot, sprayhood and bimini, allow for confident passage-making whether the crew aboard is experienced offshore or newer to catamaran handling.
This Lagoon 46 catamaran charter Rhodes is particularly well suited to local sailing conditions. The Dodecanese combine exposed straits with famously calm, sheltered anchorages, and a catamaran’s shallow draft and twin-hull stability suit both conditions well. Guests unaccustomed to sailing find the flat ride and absence of heel a considerable comfort, while the wide beam allows cockpit, saloon and foredeck trampoline to be used simultaneously without crowding — a genuine advantage for larger groups moving between swimming, dining and simply watching the coastline pass.
A charter based from Rhodes New Marina opens onto one of the Mediterranean’s most rewarding short-hop itineraries. Symi’s harbour of neoclassical facades lies a half-day sail north, its waterfront tavernas serving the island’s celebrated small shrimp straight off the boats; Halki and Tilos offer quieter, less-charted anchorages further south for those seeking solitude over spectacle. Many of the finest meals along this coast remain boat-in only — reachable solely by tender, in bays where the day’s catch is grilled within sight of the water.
In the shoulder months of May, June, September and October, the meltemi eases and Dodecanese anchorages empty out considerably, rewarding charterers who can travel outside the July–August peak. For a wider view of cruising grounds across the Aegean, see our destinations guide.
Equipment aboard includes a generator, inverter and solar panel array for stable power at anchor, together with cockpit cushions, cockpit speakers, a lazy jack system and radio-CD player, and snorkelling equipment for exploring the coastline’s clear water directly from the swim platform. Full navigation, safety and comfort specification is detailed in the amenities section below. Charterers considering a sister vessel in the same range should note our Lagoon 46 currently based in Kos, offering an alternative Dodecanese starting point should Rhodes not suit routing plans.
This Lagoon 46 catamaran charter Rhodes option suits multi-family groups and gatherings of friends who want private cabins rather than a shared saloon at the end of the day, without stepping up to a crewed motor yacht. Six ensuite cabins across two hulls give every couple or pair genuine separation, while the shared saloon, cockpit and flybridge keep the group together for meals and evenings at anchor.
Charterers with some sailing experience, or those booking with an experienced skipper aboard as an optional extra, will find the twin-hull’s flat ride and shallow draft forgiving in the Dodecanese’s mix of open crossings and tight anchorages. It also suits repeat visitors to Greece looking for a quieter alternative to the Ionian’s more crowded high-season anchorages, and charterers keen to combine a week afloat with time ashore in Rhodes Old Town before or after the sail.
This Lagoon 46 catamaran charter Rhodes is offered bareboat from Rhodes New Marina at rates from €4,500 per week, with a standard charter pack and security deposit waiver available as listed extras.

A typical week aboard this Lagoon 46 catamaran charter Rhodes begins with a short shakedown sail from Rhodes New Marina to the sheltered anchorages on the island’s east coast, giving guests time to settle into the layout before the first overnight stop. From there, the classic route continues south to Symi, where pastel-coloured houses climb the hillside above a harbour lined with tavernas, and on to the quieter bays of Halki, one of the least-visited islands in the group.
Later in the week the route can extend further south to the volcanic landscapes of Nisyros or the sea caves and thermal springs of Tilos, before turning back north for a final night close to Rhodes ahead of disembarkation. Skippers routinely adjust the plan around the meltemi, favouring the more sheltered western anchorages when the wind is up and saving exposed crossings for calmer mornings; charterers booking this Lagoon 46 catamaran charter Rhodes route in the shoulder season typically cover more ground, since the wind is lighter and anchorages are far less crowded.
This Lagoon 46 catamaran charter Rhodes is offered on a bareboat basis, meaning charterers hold the necessary sailing qualifications and take the helm themselves; a professional skipper can be arranged as an optional extra for guests who prefer not to skipper the boat personally, or who are new to the Dodecanese’s wind patterns.
Six ensuite cabins across two hulls sleep up to twelve guests in comfort, each with its own head and shower, making this Lagoon 46 well suited to two or three families sharing a week afloat.
The quoted weekly rate covers the vessel, its standard equipment and a security deposit waiver where selected; provisioning, fuel, marina fees at ports of call, and any optional skipper or hostess service are arranged separately with the Aquinox Yachting team ahead of departure.
May, June, September and October offer the most comfortable sailing conditions, with lighter meltemi winds and warm water, while July and August bring the busiest anchorages and the strongest afternoon breeze.
Yes. A refundable security deposit is payable before boarding and released after the post-charter inspection, provided the yacht is returned undamaged and with a full fuel and water tank.
Yes. Since this Lagoon 46 is offered bareboat, a hostess or cook can be booked as an optional extra and briefed on dietary requirements in advance; many charterers combine this with the optional skipper for a fully crewed week.
Standard turnaround is early afternoon boarding on the first day and disembarkation by mid-morning at the end of the charter, giving the crew time to prepare the yacht between guests; exact times are confirmed with Aquinox ahead of departure.
Well-behaved pets can sometimes be accommodated by prior arrangement, subject to the owner’s agreement and a discussion with Aquinox Yachting before booking; this is confirmed case by case rather than offered as standard.
Travel and cancellation insurance is strongly recommended for any Greek yacht charter and is a condition of some contracts; Aquinox Yachting can point charterers to suitable providers on request.
