The hull rocks gently as the marina loosens its grip and the Ionian Sea nudges the yacht away from Gouvia. Sunlight skitters across low stone fortresses while the town recedes, and the breeze carries the briny scent of olive groves from the shore. This half-day private sailing cruise traces Corfu’s coastal chapters—Venetian ramparts, sheltered bays, and islands that keep secrets between tides.

Avoid stepping on or anchoring in Posidonia meadows; choose reef-safe sunscreens, minimize single-use plastics and follow crew guidance to reduce marine disturbance.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Protect skin and the sea—reef-safe sunscreen reduces harm to Posidonia seagrass and marine life while keeping you comfortable on deck.
Wear nonslip shoes
Decks can be wet; low-profile shoes with good grip improve stability when moving around the yacht.
Take motion-sickness precautions
If you get queasy, take medication or use acupressure bands before boarding—open sea stretches can amplify motion.
Carry ID and swim gear in a dry bag
Bring passport/ID for booking checks and a dry bag for valuables during swims and photo stops.

Protects your skin and minimizes impact on local marine ecosystems.
