Nafsika Sailing Yacht Hire

Nafsika is a Beneteau Oceanis 41.1 based at Rhodes New Marina in Rhodes, Greece. Built in 2020, the yacht sleeps eight guests in three double cabins with two electric heads and is offered as bareboat, with a skipper available if the crew wants one. The week is about the Dodecanese: short hops in the lee of Rhodes, then longer runs to Symi, Tilos, Nisyros, and Kos when the Meltemi allows.

The hull is 11.97 metres long with a 4.20 metre beam and a 1.68 metre draught. A roller mainsail and roller genoa keep sail handling simple, and a bow thruster helps in the tight fairways of the new marina. Fuel tanks hold 200 litres and water tanks hold 570 litres. Solar panels, a sprayhood, bimini, GPS plotter at the helm, autopilot, and teak in the cockpit round out a deck that is easy to live on after a day on the water. A wide swim platform and cockpit shower make afternoon swims in clear coves part of the routine.

Below, large hull windows light a saloon that converts for two extra berths. The galley has a gas stove, fridge, freezer, and espresso maker so the crew can provision in Rhodes town and eat aboard. USB charging and 220 volt sockets sit in the living spaces. Three cabins give privacy for families or two couples plus friends, and the two heads keep the morning queue short.

Rhodes town sits a short walk from the marina: the old walls, Mandraki harbour, and the street markets for fruit, bread, and ice. A first night can stay local under Lindos or along the east coast, then a reach to Symi for the pastel harbour, or south toward Tilos and the volcanic slopes of Nisyros. Kos is a longer but classic Dodecanese finish. Nafsika is a modern Oceanis, willing in a breeze and forgiving when the crew is still finding its rhythm, which is why this 2020 Beneteau is a solid Rhodes week for guests who want to sail the islands rather than sit in a hotel.
