Our advice to help you enjoy your yacht charter in Rhodes:
- Become familiar with local regulations: Before embarking on your sailboat charter, make sure you are familiar with the regulations in force in the region in terms of navigation zones, anchorages or protected areas.
- Documents and formalities: If you are the skipper of the boat, make sure you have a boat license to present.
