Our Premium Fleet and Onboard Services

Our selection of sailing yacht charters in Corfu features a diverse range of modern monohulls and spacious catamarans, meticulously maintained to ensure safety and comfort. Each charter is equipped with essential navigation gear, fully functional galleys, and comfortable cabins for overnight stays. Depending on your preference, you can choose a bareboat rental to take the helm yourself or opt for a crewed experience where a professional skipper and hostess handle the logistics.

Exploring the Ionian: Best Routes from Corfu

Starting your journey from Gouvia Marina, the largest port on the island, opens up a world of possibilities. You can sail south towards the enchanting islands of Paxos and Antipaxos, famous for their sea caves and the stunning turquoise waters of Voutoumi Beach. Alternatively, head across to the mainland to visit the picturesque town of Parga or the hidden bays of Syvota. For those with a week-long itinerary, a northern route toward the Diapontia Islands offers a more secluded and authentic Greek experience. The Ionian Sea is known for its predictable wind patterns and calm waters, making it an ideal playground for both novice sailors and seasoned mariners alike.

Pricing and Booking Process

The cost of sailing yacht charters in Corfu varies based on the season, the size of the vessel, and the year of its manufacture. During the peak summer months of July and August, prices typically rise, while the shoulder seasons of May and September offer excellent value. Generally, a week-long charter can range from €2,500 for a modest 3-cabin yacht to over €10,000 for luxury performance models. Additional costs to consider include the refundable security deposit, fuel consumption, and final cleaning fees. Our booking process is streamlined and secure: simply select your dates, choose your preferred yacht, and our consultants will handle the documentation and personalized requests.

Expert Tips for Your Corfu Sailing Holiday

The best time for sailing in Corfu is between late May and early October, when the weather is consistently warm and the 'Maistros' northwest wind provides pleasant sailing conditions in the afternoons. If you are staying in one of our luxury villas on the island, we can arrange for a day-charter pick-up near your location to combine a land-based stay with a sea adventure. We recommend packing soft-sided luggage for easy storage in boat cabins and bringing eco-friendly sunscreen to protect the marine ecosystem. Always book your marina berths in advance during high season, as popular spots like Kassiopi or Gaios can fill up quickly by mid-afternoon.
