Telchinis is a 2011 Sun Odyssey 409 sailboat based at Rhodes New Marina, your gateway to the Dodecanese islands and the crystalline waters of the southeastern Aegean. This 12-metre sailing yacht combines proven seaworthiness with comfortable accommodation, making it an ideal choice for groups of friends or extended families seeking a week of authentic Greek island exploration. The three cabins and two heads provide practical comfort for up to eight guests, while the boat's responsive handling and 40-horsepower engine ensure both rewarding sailing and reliable passage-making between anchorages.

Life aboard Telchinis settles into a natural rhythm of discovery. Wake to the gentle lap of Aegean waters, navigate using the GPS at the helm, and spend afternoons anchored in hidden coves where the seabed shelves into shades of turquoise. The sprayhood keeps the cockpit comfortable during morning passages, while the bow thruster makes close-quarters maneuvering effortless—particularly valuable when securing a prime spot in popular harbours. Below deck, the radio-CD system provides evening entertainment, and the electric toilets operate reliably throughout your week, a practical consideration on any extended voyage.

From Rhodes, a typical week unfolds across a constellation of possibilities. Sail north to Symi's colourful harbour and its sponge-diving heritage, or venture south toward Tilos and Nisyros, where volcanic landscapes meet Homeric mythology. The islands here remain less crowded than their northern Cycladic cousins, offering genuine encounters with local tavernas, family-run fishing villages, and the unhurried pace that defines Greek island life. Whether you're an experienced sailor seeking autonomy or a group looking to share the responsibilities of bareboat cruising, Telchinis provides the platform for genuine connection—with the sea, the islands, and one another.

Imagine your final evening: anchored off a quiet beach on Chalki, the sun descending behind distant Turkey, a simple dinner of grilled octopus and local wine shared at the cockpit table, and the certainty that you've discovered something real.
