·7 min
Exploring the Ionian Sea aboard a Sunreef luxury catamaran offers a unique blend of stability, space, and high-end design, making Corfu the premier hub for such charters in 2026. Whether you are navigating the dramatic cliffs of the West Coast or the tranquil bays of the Diapontia Islands, a Sunreef provides the ultimate platform for groups of 4 to 12 guests seeking an elevated maritime experience.

Premier Sunreef Models for Charter in Corfu

Sunreef Yachts are renowned for their "multihull mansion" feel, offering significantly more living space than monohulls of the same length. For the 2026 season in Corfu, the fleet primarily consists of both sailing and power catamarans that cater to different cruising styles.

  • Sunreef 50: An ideal entry-level luxury catamaran for families or groups of up to 10. It typically features 4 to 5 guest cabins and offers a compact yet incredibly open layout, perfect for entering smaller coves like Agni or Kouloura.
  • Sunreef 60: The most popular model in the Ionian. With a beam of over 10 meters, it provides a massive flybridge and a forward terrace. Most 60s in Corfu are configured with 4 or 5 en-suite cabins, accommodating 8-10 guests plus crew.
  • Sunreef 70: A step up in volume, the 70-foot models focus on extreme comfort and "beach club" style aft platforms. These are often used for high-end boutique charters where service ratios are 1 crew member per 3 guests.
  • Sunreef 80 (Sailing or Power): The flagship of the Mediterranean charter fleet. These vessels offer approximately 340 square meters of living space, rivaling 40-meter superyachts. They are designed for 8 to 12 guests who prioritize privacy and expansive social areas.

Charter Pricing and Seasonal Rates for 2026

Pricing for a Sunreef charter in Corfu depends on the specific model, the year of launch, and the seasonality. Costs are typically divided into the base charter fee plus the Advanced Provisioning Allowance (APA).

Model Type Low Season (May/Oct) Mid Season (June/Sept) High Season (July/Aug)
Sunreef 50 (Weekly) €18,000 - €22,000 €24,000 - €28,000 €30,000 - €35,000

Note: Daily charters are less common for Sunreef yachts due to the logistics of preparation, but when available, rates typically start from €4,500 per day plus expenses.

Best 1-Day Routes from Gouvia Marina

Most Sunreef charters begin at Gouvia Marina, the largest and most well-equipped marina on the island. For a single-day luxury experience, the focus is on the Northeast coast, known as the "Kensington-on-Sea" of Corfu.

A typical day route involves departing Gouvia and heading north toward Nissaki for a morning swim in crystal clear waters. From there, your captain can navigate to Agios Stefanos NE or Kassiopi. These areas offer sheltered bays perfect for utilizing the Sunreef’s array of water toys. Lunch is often enjoyed at a seaside taverna in Agni Bay, where many establishments provide tender service directly from your yacht. On the return leg, a stop at the uninhabited Island of Vidos, located just opposite Corfu Old Town, provides a quiet final swim before disembarking.

3-7 Day Itineraries: Exploring the Ionian Islands

A week-long charter allows a Sunreef to truly show its capabilities, covering longer distances with ease and stability. For the best 2026 experience, we recommend the "Southern Ionian Loop."

  • Day 1-2: Corfu to Paxos and Antipaxos. Sail south to the turquoise waters of Voutoumi Beach. The Sunreef’s shallow draft allows you to anchor closer to the shore than traditional monohulls. Spend the night in the charming port of Gaios.
  • Day 3-4: Parga and Syvota. Cross back to the mainland to visit the "Blue Lagoon" of Syvota. These emerald waters are a highlight for snorkeling.
  • Day 5-6: Lefkada and Meganisi. For those on a 7-day itinerary, heading further south to the hidden bays of Meganisi offers total seclusion. The island is famous for its "deep fjords" and exclusive waterfront villas.
  • Day 7: Return to Corfu. A leisurely sail back along the coast of Epirus, stopping at the Petriti fishing village for a final authentic Greek lunch.

What is Included: Logistics and APA

When you charter a Sunreef in Corfu, the contract is usually under Mediterranean Yacht Broker Association (MYBA) terms or similar. It is important to understand the "plus expenses" structure.

The Base Rate Includes: The yacht hire, the professional crew (Skipper, Hostess/Chef, and sometimes a Deckhand), and the yacht's insurance. The APA (Advanced Provisioning Allowance) is typically an additional 30-35% of the charter fee. This fund covers fuel for the main engines and generators, food and beverages tailored to your preferences, port fees, and local taxes. In Greece, VAT is also an additional cost, usually ranging from 9.6% to 13% depending on the current regulations for 2026. End cleaning and laundry are often deducted from the APA at the end of the trip.

The Best Time for a Sunreef Charter in Corfu

The Ionian sailing season runs from May to October. Unlike the Aegean Sea, the Ionian does not suffer from the harsh "Meltemi" winds, making it the preferred destination for a stable Sunreef catamaran experience.

July and August offer the most reliable weather and warmest water temperatures (26°C+), though the popular spots like Paxos can be crowded. June and September are considered the "sweet spots," providing long daylight hours, pleasant temperatures (around 25-28°C), and easier access to town quays. May and October are beautiful for those who prioritize peace and hiking on the islands, though the sea may be slightly cooler for swimming.

FAQ: Chartering a Sunreef in Corfu

Are Sunreef yachts available for bareboat charter in Corfu?

No, Sunreef yachts are exclusively available as crewed charters. Due to their size, complexity, and high value, they require a professional skipper and often a full crew to manage the onboard systems and guest services.

How many guests can a Sunreef 60 accommodate?

Most Sunreef 60 models are licensed for 10 to 12 guests for day charters and 8 to 10 guests for overnight stays, depending on the cabin configuration (usually 4 or 5 double cabins).

Where is the best place to dock a Sunreef in Corfu?

Gouvia Marina is the primary base for these vessels due to their wide beam. While the Old Port of Corfu is more scenic, space for wide catamarans is limited and must be booked well in advance during the 2026 season.

Is fuel included in the price?

Fuel is not included in the base charter price. It is paid for via the APA. Sunreef Power catamarans will have higher fuel consumption than the sailing versions, which should be factored into your budget planning.
