A sun-bright morning off Corfu Town: the harbor thins, the marina slips behind you and the Ionian Sea stretches a sheet of glass that dares you to cut into it. Onboard an Italmar 17 (or similar 5m motorboat), five friends settle into a mix of shade and sun, engines hum to life, and the east coast of Corfu unfurls — cliffs, olive-sprinkled slopes and hidden coves waiting for a quick dive.

A sun-bright morning off Corfu Town: the harbor thins, the marina slips behind you and the Ionian Sea stretches a sheet of glass that dares you to cut into it. Onboard an Italmar 17 (or similar 5m motorboat), five friends settle into a mix of shade and sun, engines hum to life, and the east coast of Corfu unfurls — cliffs, olive-sprinkled slopes and hidden coves waiting for a quick dive.
This stretch of coast bears layers of history: Venetian towers and British-era roads watch over fishing coves where local families have launched boats for generations. Geologically, the island is compact limestone and schist; the east side drops into clear, blue water with scattered pebble beaches and small sea caves. Culturally, expect villages where tavernas open late and seafood is the anchor of any lunch.
Practically, the rental is straightforward: choose a 4- or 7-hour window from Corfu Town, receive a safety briefing, and you’re free to pilot after instruction. Snorkeling equipment is included, and many skippers will point out quieter anchor spots like Agni Bay or the Kouloura inlet.
Plan for sun and sea: bring reef-safe sunscreen, plenty of water, a dry bag for electronics, and a small cooler for snacks. Check the local forecast — winds can rise in the afternoon — and confirm fuel and return times with the operator. With basic boat handling and a bit of curiosity, a private motorboat day on Corfu turns a coastline into your own moving outlook point, where every cove rewards the curious swimmer and every headland asks you to slow down and take it in.
