Cabins and Accommodation on Gulet Theodor
Theodor sleeps 10 guests in five en-suite cabins: a spacious master cabin, three double cabins and a twin cabin that is ideal for children or younger guests. Bright, contemporary interiors with light wood and soft fabrics create a calm, comfortable retreat after a day of swimming and exploring on your luxury gulet charter in Rhodes.
Life on Board: Flybridge, Wide Decks and Big Toys
Her generous decks are made for life outdoors. The shaded aft deck hosts a lounge and a dining table for up to 12 guests, with a beverage fridge and ice maker close at hand for relaxed breakfasts and sunset drinks. Up on the flybridge, panoramic views, sunbathing areas and fitness equipment let guests stay active while cruising between the islands, and the main saloon offers a cool indoor lounge.
At anchor, the 8.5-metre RIB, two jet skis and two Seabobs open up hidden coves and beaches, while paddleboards, kayak, water skis and wakeboard keep the whole group busy.
Kosher Dining on Theodor
Theodor is dedicated to kosher charters, so every detail on board is planned around the needs of observant guests. Menus are prepared in line with your group’s kashrut requirements, with kosher provisions sourced in advance and catering arranged through specialist kosher suppliers where required. Breakfasts of fresh bread, cheeses, yoghurt, fruit and eggs, light lunches at anchor with salads, fresh fish and grilled dishes, and relaxed dinners under the stars can all be tailored to your preferences.
Shabbat can be planned into your itinerary, with the yacht resting at a calm anchorage or in harbour, and the crew is experienced in welcoming kosher groups. Please share your specific requirements – level of supervision, meat or dairy kitchen, Shabbat schedule and any dietary needs – when you enquire, and Aren Yachting will coordinate every detail before you arrive.
Exploring Ashore by Tender
The 8.5-metre RIB tender makes it easy to go ashore in Rhodes Old Town, Symi, Lindos or Kos for sightseeing, shopping and walks through historic harbours. The crew takes you to the jetty, waits or returns at the agreed time, and brings you back on board for a swim or a quiet evening on deck.
Where to Cruise: Rhodes, the Dodecanese and the Greek Islands
Theodor is based in Rhodes, the perfect starting point for exploring the Dodecanese – and only a short crossing from Bodrum and Marmaris. A popular one-week Dodecanese charter could look like this:
- Day 1 – Rhodes: Embark in Mandraki Harbour, below the walls of the medieval Old Town.
- Day 2 – Symi: Cruise to colourful Symi harbour and swim in the bays of Agios Georgios.
- Day 3 – Tilos: A quiet, unspoilt island with clear water and peaceful anchorages.
- Day 4 – Nisyros: Visit the volcanic crater and the pretty village of Mandraki.
- Day 5 – Kos: Beaches, the ancient Asklepion and lively harbourfront.
- Day 6 – Kalymnos & Pserimos: Sponge-diving heritage, turquoise bays and jet ski adventures.
- Day 7 – Lindos: Anchor beneath the Acropolis of Lindos for a final swim.
- Day 8 – Rhodes: Breakfast on board and disembarkation in the morning.
