Board a private yacht from Gouvia Marina and follow Corfu’s dramatic coastline—swim at crystal coves, pass Venetian fortresses, and time a sunset toast beneath a sky the color of old glass. Options range from short sunset runs to full-day coastal explorations.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the quay at Marina Gouvia as the yacht rocks softly, the Ionian Sea already pulling at the hull. The captain casts off and Corfu’s coastline opens: two stone fortresses rise like watchful guardians, Garitsa Bay stretches calm and blue, and Mouse Island slips past as planes thread the sky above.

Choose your cruise length wisely
Short cruises (2–3 hours) cover Garitsa and Vido for swims and sights; full-day (8 hours) lets you reach quieter northeastern coves and a seaside lunch.
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Sun reflects off the water—use SPF and reapply after swims to protect skin and marine life.
Motion-sickness prep
If you’re prone to seasickness, take medication before boarding and sit mid-ship where motion is least noticeable.
Plan for a light layer
Even in summer evenings the sea breeze can be cool—bring a windbreaker for sunset cruises.
