Mandraki Harbour · Rhodes · Est. 2025
Slow days at sea, the Greek way.
Discover Rhodes aboard a handcrafted wooden boat, with beautiful swimming stops, Greek food, drinks and genuine family hospitality.
A note from the harbour
Born from a family shaped by the sea, Princess Sailing Cruises brings together traditional Greek craftsmanship, genuine hospitality and a lifelong love for Rhodes.
Princess Sailing Cruises is the continuation of a family story shaped by the sea.
Founded by Vasilis Makarounas, who was born and raised in Rhodes, Princess was created from a lifelong connection with traditional boats, the waters of the island and the simple values of Greek hospitality.
Built by hand in Greece in 2025, our wooden boat combines traditional craftsmanship with modern comfort, offering a relaxed and authentic way to discover Rhodes from the sea.
From swimming in crystal-clear bays to sharing Greek food and drinks on board, every detail is designed around one simple idea: to make our guests feel welcome, comfortable and completely at ease.
For us, true luxury is not about extravagance. It is about time, space, authenticity and the feeling that, for a few hours, there is nowhere else you need to be.
Welcome aboard Princess.

Where We Sail
Three of Rhodes’ most beautiful bays.
Kallithea Springs
A 1920s spa in stone, mosaic, and the clearest water on the island.
Anthony Quinn Bay
Emerald turquoise. Ochre cliffs. A cove the actor tried to buy.
Ladiko Bay
A sheltered cove next door — sand, shallow water, very few people.
The boat
Wood, brass, sail. Built by hand.
