Optasia is a 2022 Dufour 470 sailing yacht based at Rhodes New Marina, your gateway to one of the Mediterranean's most enchanting cruising grounds. This well-appointed vessel accommodates up to 11 guests across five comfortable cabins, making her ideal for extended family gatherings or groups of friends seeking a shared adventure. From Rhodes, you'll have immediate access to the Dodecanese islands—a region where ancient history, sheltered anchorages, and crystalline waters create the perfect backdrop for a week under sail.

Life aboard Optasia balances comfort with authentic sailing. The yacht is thoughtfully equipped for modern cruising: solar panels and a voltage converter ensure reliable power for essentials, while the espresso machine and well-stocked refrigerator keep spirits high during lazy mornings at anchor. Navigation is intuitive thanks to the GPS chartplotter and autopilot, allowing you to focus on the experience rather than the mechanics. The bimini and sprayhood provide welcome shade and shelter, while cushioned cockpit seating invites lingering conversations as the day winds down. Five heads with electric toilets mean minimal queuing—a genuine luxury on a larger vessel—and the bow thruster makes tight anchorages manageable, even for less experienced sailors.

Your week typically unfolds between Rhodes and the nearby islands: perhaps Symi with its pastel-coloured harbour houses, Panormitis with its tranquil monastery anchorage, or the quieter coves of Naxos and Paros. The dinghy opens access to secluded beaches and village tavernas tucked into hillsides. Evenings are spent in protected bays, where the water mirrors the sky and local mezze arrive at your table as the sun dips behind distant headlands. Whether you're bareboat sailing with experience or opting for a professional skipper, Optasia offers the space, stability, and amenities to make a week in the Aegean feel both effortless and unforgettable.
