Let us organise your perfect Corfu yacht charter itinerary.

Our expert brokers know the cruising grounds intimately, both personally through first-hand experience and in real time through contacts on the ground. Your itinerary will be tailored specifically for you to deliver the holiday you want.

New to charter?

The Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) is due at the time of the final charter payment. Under MYBA terms, this sum is usually equivalent to 30 per cent of the total charter fee, but may be up to 40 per cent in some cases.

Intended to cover the operating expenses of a charter as explained under Charter Terms, such as fuel, food, drinks, port fees and ad hoc incidentals, the APA will be given to the captain before the start of your charter. The Captain will ensure that the yacht is fully fuelled and provisioned when you step on board. While an up-to-date summary of accounts can be requested at any time during your charter, a full set of accounts will normally be submitted by your captain at the end of the cruise. If, during the charter, the expenditure exceeds the sum already paid, additional cash funds will be required at once.

All outstanding bills from the yacht charter should be settled in cash or by bank transfer before your final disembarkation. Of course, any remaining credit at the end of your charter will be reimbursed to you in full. On request, transfer arrangements to and from the yacht can be made by Burgess or by the yacht’s captain, payment for which will be deducted from your APA.

Br illiant luxury boat day trip

Jul 2023 • Family

We booked the Sea Kid for a full day. Brilliant quick response to our initial enquiry, and then seamless booking experience. Was no trouble to collect us from our nearest harbour. We were greeted by George and Angel who looked after us amazingly well all day. 

Supplied drinks and snacks and on our various lovely stops during the day got us organised with SUPs and sea bobs even booked and organised a lovely taverna for a lunch stop. The Sea Kid was a perfect boat for our group size of 8 including 4 large boys ! It had loads of space for everyone and a very cool looking boat to boot. Wouldn’t hesitate to Recommend

First class service on a luxury catamaran!

Aug 2023 • Friends

We chartered the NISI gtx55 catamaran yacht for a group of 15 friends and it was absolutely amazing. We decided to do a 4 hour sunset trip which took us to two different swimming spots and a nice view of the sun setting.

The staff were simply amazing and the boat was super nice. Everyone on board raved about how it was the highlight of our weeklong trip!

Guide to Corfu

The sun-drenched gem of the Ionian Sea

The northernmost isle of the Ionian archipelago, Corfu is the perfect gateway to your idyllic yacht charter vacation. Boasting sparkling sandy coves, an abundance of ancient history, wild natural landscapes and delicious traditional foods, the strong multicultural influence from years gone by means there’s much to discover on this stunning cosmopolitan island.

Undoubtedly one of the best places to explore is the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Old Town. Nestled between two imposing fortresses, you’ll find yourself wandering through history and getting lost down the slender cobblestone lanes. You’ll spot majestic Venetian buildings, pastel-coloured homes along narrow streets, and numerous restaurants spilling out into the pathways.

Intriguing museums and noble palaces can be found here too, along with grand architecture such as the French-built Liston Promenade. Take some time to visit the stately Achilleion Palace, once a home for Austrian royalty, and Mon Repos, an estate with deep roots in Corfiot history and the birthplace of Prince Philip, now husband to Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II. There’s no shortage of cafes or restaurants in the Old Town, and you’ll soon find the winding alleys will open out onto bustling plazas, where you can pause in your explorations for lunch or a glass of wine. 

If you can pry yourself away from the beautiful meandering streets of Corfu Old Town, you should make your way over to Vlacherna Monastery. Jutting out into the sea on it’s own tiny islet, the monastery is an iconic site and connected to the mainland by only a stone bridge. A quiet, charming place to spend some time, Vlacherna is open all year round to visitors who want a peaceful moment to sit amongst the cypress trees, or learn about it’s long history as a nunnery. There was also once a scene filmed there for the James Bond movie, ‘For Your Eyes Only’.

Spending time on this beautiful island without visiting a beach would be impossible and Corfu has over 100 for you to choose from. Cruise along the coastline to the other side of the island from Vlacherna Monastery, and you’ll discover Porto Timoni beach, a stunning and unique site that you should certainly take some time to enjoy. The beach is split down the middle by a strip of lush vegetation, giving visitors two glistening beaches to choose from.

The crystalline waters are perfect for swimming and snorkelling, and if you visit early in the morning, you’ll be one of the only people there. If quieter beaches are what you search for, Paradise Beach is not far along the coastline from Porto Timoni and is only accessible by boat. Why not sail your charter yacht on the relaxed afternoon winds to one of the most exquisite beaches in Corfu, and revel in its unspoilt natural environment. 

After a day basking in the sun, hunger is bound to strike and Greece is well-known across the world for it’s mouth-watering cuisine. Local Corfiot dishes can be found throughout the isle; expect mountains of fresh seafood and shellfish, alongside meat dishes that will typically be made with lamb. To enjoy a drink or meal while watching the sunset, head to the very northwestern tip of the island to a restaurant called 7th Heaven. Here you’ll have panoramic views out across the Ionian Sea and a spectacular sky of colours. For those with a taste for the finest cuisine, Etrusco Restaurant in the town of Dassia boasts a Michelin starred chef. 

There are several strategically placed marinas in Corfu, allowing you chance to explore this island to its fullest potential. Some of them can accommodate large vessels up to 80m, such as the fully equipped Gouvia Marina. Petriti Marina welcomes vessels with a maximum length of 60m and is located near some of the best beaches in the area. Palaiokastritsa Marina can accommodate platforms up to 60m too, and is located relatively close to the city. Other marinas like Kavos Marina can only take a max length of 9m, but is the best place to berth to experience Kavos' renowned nightlife. Alternatively you could anchor in one of the many secluded coves for a chance to discover somewhere all to yourself.

Run by a range of different empires through the ages, and only Greek for the last 150 years, the Ionian island of Corfu may well have Greek as its main language, but its culture and history is very much its own. One of the oldest holiday destinations for British package holidaymakers, and dominated by that empire for many years, a Brit will feel very at home here! That said, so will Italians, with the Venetian empire running it for centuries before... Many say that its beautiful beaches are some of the very best in Greece, and this in turn has helped Corfu become such a successful holiday destination.

The Ionian Islands differ from the other Greek islands - the Dodecanese Islands, Saronic Islands, Sporades Island and other Aegean Islands - thanks to their location. On the surface the Ionian Sea has a different temperament with the Bora winds being gentler during the sailing season, but the geography has meant that they have different histories. The Dodecanese Islands are just off the Turkish coast and have been a flashpoint between Turkey and Greece since pre-Ottoman times. This has impacted their foods, cultures and histories in different ways.

Corfu Island is one of the seven Ionian Islands on the calm and beautiful Ionian Sea. Possibly based at the island's main Gouvia Marina on Gouvia Bay, your boat charter will likely take you on to see smaller islands such as Paxos Island and Antipaxos, or larger ones like Lefkada and Kefalonia as you explore the region on your luxury yacht charter.

On a Corfu catamaran charter you can explore as much or as little as you want. Perhaps a sandy beach or two for swimming out of the sight of others is your thing? A week or two Greek island hopping will show you many such opportunities, while those who want to use their luxury yacht as a party base to hit the tavernas with a vengeance will have plenty of room for that! Your Greece yacht charter opens the doors to it all!

Crewed Catamaran Charters from Corfu

You don't need to worry about being an experienced sailor or even sailing the boat out of Corfu with Borrow a Boat! A Corfu crewed catamaran charter on a motor yacht or sailing catamaran can mean you do as much or as little physically sailingthe yacht as you like on your yacht charter holiday.

A skippered yacht charter or will mean that the skipper will be aboard with their own cabin to attend to all your needs. A crewed yacht charter or gulet charter will involve one or two crew on the gulet charter who will cook, sail and make suggestions as to your best destinations on your sailing itinerary. With their local knowledge, even if you're an experienced sailor you can enjoy a perfect yacht charter holiday.

One of the advantages of a crewed yacht charter holiday is that you can go longer distances from the yacht charter base. The Saronic Islands are within reach on a two week sailing trip, as is Athens and indeed the Cyclades.

As to you? You can just enjoy the breezes and views on your luxury yacht charter, or if you fancy learning a bit about sailing, help the skipper or crew to get the boat from A-B.

A Corfu crewed yacht charter will cost a little more (typically €150 a day for a skipper and €100 per crew member) and it's the done thing to thank them with a tip at the end of the week.

Bareboat Catamaran Charter From Corfu

A bareboat yacht charter holiday will mean that you can take the charter yacht out on your own. Generally for vessels up to 20 metres LOA on a sailing license such as an RYA Day Skipper or ASA 104 Bareboat certificate, you will have total responsibility for the yacht.

You will need to think about your itinerary, victualling, possible secondary ports should a marina be full, as well as issues like weather and mooring fees.

On a bareboat catamaran charter you will be asked to pay for insurance in the form of a security deposit to the chartercompany on departure or through buying charter insurance before you leave the yacht charter base.

Types of Catamarans Available For Rent Or Charter In Corfu:

When searching a geographical area on Borrow A Boat you can filter by the below charter yacht types. There is also the option to further filter your searches by price, the number of guests, cabins or bathrooms, what year the catamaran was launched, the boat length and the boat manufacturer.

Types of Catamarans Available:

Sailing Catamarans: Luxury catamarans are stable and spacious type of sailing boat, with quick sailing performance, and and have been gaining in popularity in recent years. Better for larger groups, they have lots of room for water toys, and are big enough for a little privacy. A catamaran charter luxury yacht is easy and comfortable for novices not used to heeling and are loved by families due to their extra space when compared to a monohull sailing yacht. Typically far more luxurious than a sailboat, the larger catamarans have en suite toilets and showers in the cabin as well as ample entertaining space in the saloon and on deck.

Power Catamarans: These motor yacht catamarans are relatively new but have also been gaining in popularity as the two hulls keep the boat more stable when compared to a monohull. The wider beam of these motor boats also mean more deck space and as they don't have sails or a mast, they have a lot more space on deck than a sailingcatamaranrental or monohull. For a luxury catamaran charter, consider taking a crewed catamaran charter sailingvacation with an experienced skipper.

Catamaran Sailing Itineraries From Corfu

On your Corfu crewed catamaran boat rental or bareboat charter sailing holiday you can explore the Ionian Islands and even via the Corinth Canal, on to the Saronic Gulf. Here we suggest a 7 day sailing holiday and a 14 day yacht charterholiday on your charter boat:

7 days - Gouvia Marina - Ionian Islands: Over a week's boat charter you can get as far south as Zakynthos. Pause at one of the smaller islands of Paxos Island and Antipaxos on the way south (and perhaps the other coming back north) and then sample the sights and sounds of Lefkada, and Ithaca on the way south, before spending a day or so exploring Zakynthos and then back via Kafalonia on the way north. Back to Marina Gouvia for handover.

14 days - Corinth Canal and Saronic Gulf: Covering well over 250NM on this sailing holiday, this might be one for a crewed yacht charter to allow for night passages as you go. You will island hop the Ionian Island chain and then head into the Gulf of Corinth, getting to see one of the most spectacular marine shortcuts of the world in the Corinth Canal. From here you can explore either the Saronic islands of Aegina and Salamina or sail into Athens on mainland Greece. Return, enjoying the longer passages on the Aegean Sea and then Ionian Sea as you take in Greece in all of its colours, sights and subcultures.

Do You Need A Licence To Charter A Catamaran In Corfu?

If you are on a skippered catamaran charter you do not need a license to sail out of Corfu, you can just turn up at the marina and go.

You do need a license if you are on a bareboat catamaran charter and in some countries such as Greece a day skipper or ICC may not be enough for boats over 45 feet in length, you will need to check with the charter agent but here are some examples of typical sailing qualifications that will allow you to charter in most countries:

International Certificate of Competence: This is issued on request by your European sailing authority and you should automatically qualify with certain national sailing qualifications.

RYA Qualifications: If you have the following qualifications you will typically be able to take a bareboat charter out of Rhodes (but it is worth checking as per above), these include Day Skipper (sail or motor endorsement), Coastal Skipper or Yachtmaster.

American Sailing Association (ASA): The ASA 104 Bareboat certificate is commonly accepted but also check as per above

US Sailing : The International Proficiency Certificate is widely accepted and The Bareboat Cruising Certificate is also accepted in many cases.

Corfu Weather Forecast

Corfu sailing holidays: popular questions answered., how much is it to charter a yacht in corfu.

This depends on the dates you choose for your sailing holiday and, of course, the size and type of the boat. Typically, a yacht charter in June will cost approximately 3,000 EUR plus obligatory extras on a 3-cabin monohull and 5,000 EUR plus obligatory extras on a 40 ft. catamaran. Prices tend to be lower in April and May and higher during the peak season (July & August). The end of September and October is also a period when you can take advantage of lower prices. Other than the boat price, you should also consider the obligatory cleaning. That would be around 200 EUR for a monohull depending on its size and 300 EUR for a catamaran, also depending on its size. Provisioning, mooring fees and fuel are to be covered by the charterer. For more details about yacht charter options in Corfu, please contact our team at [email protected]

Is Corfu good for sailing?

Corfu is a perfect starting point for a sailing holiday and one of the most in-demand sailing grounds in Greece. Ideal for beginner sailors or those looking for a mile-building trip in mild wind and sea conditions, the North Ionian is known for the abundance of anchorages and easy line of sight navigation.

What is the best month to sail in Corfu?

If you are not restricted by school holidays, we would recommend chartering in June. You can expect warm and mostly sunny weather conditions, with the perk of avoiding the crowds of peak season. Prices are also much more attractive during early summer.

What qualifications do you need to sail in Corfu, Greece?

For a bareboat charter in Greece, only one licensed person is required on board. A co-skipper with sailing experience is desired. As there is no specific list of accepted licences issued by the Greek authorities, we would recommend sharing a copy of your sailing licence with us in advance so we can check and advise accordingly.

Is the sea in Corfu warm?

The sea in Corfu remains quite warm year-round with peak temperatures at times reaching 30 °C in August. You can expect 20-25 °C from May until October.

What sea is Corfu in?

Corfu or Kerkyra as the Greeks call her, is one of the main islands of the Ionian Sea and part of the Heptanese. She is located in the Northern part of the Ionian, close to the Albanian coast.

How long should a Corfu sailing holiday be?

It is important to keep in mind that yacht charters in Corfu are offered on a weekly basis from Saturday to Saturday. That means, you can book your sailing holiday for 7,14, 21 days and so on. In rare cases, during low season you may be able to find a boat available with a different turnaround day or for a shorter duration. Please contact our team at [email protected] for more information.

When does the sailing season in Corfu start and end?

Corfu, same as the rest of Greece, has a standard “Mediterranean climate”. Therefore, the sailing season spans from April to October with the high season being during the main summers months of July & August.

Why visit Corfu?

Corfu is a top holiday destination – both for sailing and land based holidays. Around the island you will be stunned by the beautiful scenery blending greens and blues as the cliffs reach down to the emerald waters. Corfu is also an island rich with history and multi-cultural influence. Don’t miss a visit to the old town and a walk through the old fortress, Spianada and Liston square. Achilleion palace is also one of the island’s highlights built by Empress Elisabeth of Austria (known as ‘Sissi’) in 1890. Are you a fan of tasting local food and drinks during your travels? Try the famous limoncello and kumquat liqueurs.

Which is the closest island to Corfu?

Two islands closest to Corfu that we would definitely recommend including in your sailing holiday itinerary, are Paxos and Antipaxos. In Paxos, you can either anchor in the pristine, emerald bay of Lakka or the more cosmopolitan Gaios port – these locations are very close to each other so you can also visit both in one day. In Antipaxos you will be amazed by the crystal clear, turquoise waters of the famous Voutoumi beach; the sea the is so clear that boats look as if they are floating on air.

How long does it take to sail from Corfu to Lefkada?

One-way charters between Corfu and Lefkas are often an option during the beginning or end of the season when the need arises for a yacht to be relocated. These are usually offered without an extra fee and oftentimes with generous discounts. If you request a one-way charter in the middle of the season, you should expect to be asked to pay a one-way fee covering the cost for the yacht to return to the home port.

Sailing from Corfu to Lefkada takes about 10 – 15  hours non-stop. This, of course, depends on the type and size of the boat and the prevailing weather conditions.

Sailing Holidays In Corfu

Corfu – Κέρκυρα – Kerkira is the northest and most important of the Ionian Islands, and is situated only 1 nm away from the coast of Albania and the Greek region of Epirus (mainland Greece). It houses one of the main charter bases for most yacht charter companies, and offers gentle green uplands in the south and rugged limestone hills in the north, rising to 911 m in the double peak of Pantokrator.

Lefkimmi port, is 24 nmi from Paxi, just “around the corner” you will Benitses, where you can moor, and enjoy the local tavernas and amenities. Later on, you can sail towards the famous Pontikonisi(in English “Mouse Island”), and then towards the Old Fort, where there is a marina. You can spend some time admiring the old town of Corfu before heading to the main port where the ferries and cruiseboats dock. Finally, in Gouvia Marina, the first private marina in Greece, you can find a place among more than 1.200 boats, while being close to the airport in case it is your “end station”.

History of Corfu

Τhe present name of the island is believed to derive from the Greek “Koryphi” (meaning “Peak”), which was its name during the medieval period.

From 1386 to 1797 Corfu was held by Venice, thereafter it was briefly part of the Napoleonic empire; and in 1815, along with the rest of the Ionian islands, it was assigned to Britain. It was reunited with Greece in 1864. In the course of its eventful history the island was frequently devastated and plundered, fact that resulted into preserving few relics of ancient or medieval times.

The island’s capital, Corfu (Kerkira), is beautifully situated on a promontory on the east coast, dominated by the Neo Frourio (New Fortress). The ancient city is farther south. Corfu is the seat of both a Greek Orthodox and a Roman Catholic archbishop.

Ports and Local Amenities

The old harbour of Corfu just east of the customs harbour, has the best shelter for the prevailing northwest winds.

Gouvia marina is a major base for skippered, crewed and bareboat yacht charters in the north Ionian sea. The other bases are Lefkas and Preveza, further south.

Gaios is the principal port of Paxos Island. On the islets off the harbour are a Venetian fort and the former Monastery of the Panayia. You can moor right in the middle of the busy touristy scenery of this charming place.

Near Corfu you will find the westernmost place in Greece and largest of the Diapontian Islands, the island of Othoni. There you can discover picturesque villages and ruined Venetian castles, definitely worth visiting.

Paleokastritsa – on the West side of Corfu Island – is a lively and attractive tourist resort dominated by the Monastery of Panayia Theotokos on a high crag. Near the village there are seacaves. From here it is a 1.5 hours climb (with guide; stout footwear required) to the ruined Angelokastro Castle ( with lovely panoramic views). Lots of caves can be reached by tender or RIB.

For those pursuing scenery views, you can climb to the summit of Mount Pantokrator to enjoy the beautiful view of the surroundings and an abandoned monastery of 1347.

The village of Kondokali – adjacent to Gouvia – is nowadays more German or English than Greek. Fortunately, the facilities are excellent. Gouvia is located 5 nm north of Corfu town and features a Venetian arsenal of 1716.

From the harbour you can either go towards the east, passing by the old royal palace, or south-east along Odos Nikiforou, the town’s busy main road.

An attractive excursion from Corfu town is to the villa of Akhillion, 16 km to the south. This Italian Renaissance style villa, situated on an altitude of 145 m, has magnificent gardens and boasts panoramic views. Three kilometres further south, is the charming fishing village of Benitses and its remains of a Roman villa.

The Corfu Yacht Club is usually for member only, but the smaller Naok Yacht Club at the other side of Cape Sidhero has a few berths for visitors.

No Stress really is the name of it.

Just completed my Day Skipper with No Stress Yachting last week, it was the most stress-free course I've ever attended. Sam was brilliant at organising the whole thing from start to finish. Peter, our instructor, was a wealth of local and sailing knowledge who struck the perfect balance between learning and enjoyment. The boat we used, Ellen May, was in great condition, clean and comfortable for the five of us

Alex W - Tripadvisor

An amazing experience in corfu.

This excursion was everything I had hoped for and more. Our Captian, Sam, was just amazing in every way! The minute we stepped on the Nimos until the time we disembarked was brilliant. Sam was a fantastic host.

FMUBSU - Tripadvisor

Special week.

Second time with No Stress Yachting, as always an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Sam made sure all was in order, food, boat, taxi and pre holiday communications.

Devonsurfers - Tripadvisor

Fantastic trip.

I VERY HIGHLY recommend No Stress Yachting! In October of 2019 we decided that we would like to go to Greece, sailing on a boat with a captain. Somehow, I stumbled upon No Stress Yachting, and after reviewing the company and reading a few (very positive) reviews, I got in touch with Sam, and we arranged a week of sailing for the summer of 2020.

When planning a luxury yacht charter in Corfu , the type of yacht you select is crucial in shaping your experience. Yachts, often referred to as luxury pleasure boats, vary in size and style, each offering a unique set of features and amenities. Superyachts, typically over 24 meters in length, provide spacious and opulent settings, ideal for those seeking the utmost in luxury and comfort. For those looking for something even more extravagant, megayachts, which are larger than 80 meters, offer an unparalleled level of luxury and space.

• Motor Yachts: The most common choice for charters, known for their performance, spaciousness, and stability.
• Sailing Yachts: Ideal for those who love the romance and freedom of sailing with the wind.
• Catamarans: Known for their multi-hull design, offering exceptional cruising comfort and stability.
• Gulet Yachts: A blend of traditional sailing and motor power, known for their beautiful craftsmanship.

Choosing the right yacht involves considering several factors. Your decision should be influenced by the number of guests, the desired level of luxury, the type of sailing experience you’re looking for (e.g., adventure, relaxation, exploration), and any specific amenities you desire. Whether it’s a family vacation , a romantic getaway, or a corporate event, the variety of yachts available ensures that there is a perfect match for every need.

Best Times to Charter a Yacht in Corfu

The humidity levels are comfortable, and the extended daylight hours, ranging from 14.4 to 14.9 hours, provide ample opportunity to explore Corfu’s natural and historical attractions. Additionally, the sea temperatures are perfect for water activities, gradually warming from 19.1°C in May to a delightful 25.7°C in August.

These months experience the heaviest rainfall, with average precipitation reaching up to 187mm, and increased humidity levels. The shorter daylight hours, around 9.4 to 10 hours, and cooler sea temperatures, dropping to 17°C in December, make these months less ideal for yacht chartering and water-based activities.

• Pack Appropriately: While yachts offer luxury, space can be limited. Pack light but don’t forget essentials like swimwear, sun protection, and comfortable clothing for both on-board and onshore activities.
• Respect the Environment: The Ionian Sea is a natural treasure. Practice eco-friendly sailing by being mindful of marine life, avoiding pollution, and respecting the pristine nature of the islands and the sea.
