Yacht charter in Corfu
Four yachts, one base, and about six hours of sailing between us and most of the northern Ionian. You can take the boat yourself if you hold the paperwork, or take one of our skippers and let someone else read the weather. Either way the yacht is yours for the week — Saturday to Saturday, no fixed route, no group to keep up with.
We own and maintain these boats ourselves. The person who hands you the keys is the person who knows what every noise on board means.

Bareboat charter
You are the skipper. Bring a recognised licence, a co-skipper with some experience, and the Ionian is yours. Deposits, accepted certificates and how check-in works are all set out on the page.
Bareboat charters → 02Skippered charter
€190 a night and nobody aboard needs a qualification. Where the skipper sleeps, who decides the route, what he eats — answered plainly, with two real one-week itineraries.
Skippered charters → 03How booking works
Payment schedule, the deposit and the waiver, cancellation terms, the charter pack and every optional extra with its price. Worth reading before you commit to a week.
Booking procedures →Not sure which of the four boats suits your crew? The fleet page compares all four side by side — cabins, berths, heads and weekly rates for both seasons.
Our route south from Corfu
This is the run we sail most often and the one we recommend to crews on their first Ionian week. Short hops, a mix of ports and bays, and nothing that needs an eight-hour day.

Petriti, South Corfu
A fishing village in the south of the island. The commercial boats are based here and their catch goes up to the Corfu market in the morning.
Quiet, with the landscape doing most of the work and people just watching it. A few good fish tavernas around the harbour and a beach within walking distance for a swim.
The port itself has limited space, so most yachts anchor in the large bay instead.
Gaios, Paxos
The capital of Paxos and its main port, connected to Corfu by hydrofoil and ferry and to the mainland by ferry.
One of our favourite stops, and one you will almost certainly like. Busy and popular, with bars and restaurants for every taste.
There is also a good market of handmade clothes, shoes and jewellery.
Mongonisi, Paxos
Much smaller than Gaios and only 1.5 miles south of it. Far quieter, with a small dock looked after by the owners of the Mongonisi taverna.
They put on dancing evenings and they have the best view on the bay by some distance.
There is a small beach beside the taverna and a bar called Carnayo at the end of the concrete.
Parga, mainland
About two hours from Mongonisi, on the mainland coast. A place with real history, and busy in high summer.
We anchor in the large bay and a sea taxi runs the crew across to the old town in front of the main harbour.
Plenty of bars and restaurants — you can find more or less any kind of food there. Our pick is Stefanos, next to the castle, which looks straight down on the bay you are anchored in.
Sivota, mainland
Good swimming through the day, and we take a berth in the port for the night.
Good food and drink, and a decent run of shops selling local handmade things.
Six knots
A charter yacht motors at about six knots, so three hours is roughly 18 miles. Keep most days under that and the week looks after itself.
Two fully costed one-week routes, leg by leg, are on the skippered charters page. They work just as well bareboat.
Good to know before you pack
Power on board
Every yacht has 12 V sockets — the car type — and 220 V house sockets. Bring your own USB adapter, because the one you need is always the one nobody packed.
Keeping cool
All four have fans in the cabins, plus portable ones. Asjemenou is the only yacht with air conditioning, which runs on 220 V shore power.
The dinghy
A dinghy with paddles comes with the yacht. An outboard for it is an optional extra — €80 a week with five litres of petrol, booked in advance.
Insurance
The yachts are insured. Your holiday is not. Take out your own travel and trip-cancellation cover when you book — it costs a fraction of the charter and covers what actually goes wrong.
Provisioning
We can arrange an online grocery order delivered to the yacht before you step aboard — €50. Send us the list and it will be waiting.
Extras
SUP, Wi-Fi, portable BBQ, safety net, life vests, early check-in and more, all priced and all needing to be booked ahead.
