The experience

The boat leaves from Corfu city port and holds up to six passengers with seats in both sun and shade. You get the helm for the day: detailed instructions cover everything you need to know before casting off. The east coastline unfolds at whatever pace suits your group: linger at Vido Island, explore Gouvia Bay and its marina, or drop anchor to snorkel in the clear water with the equipment on board. Bring your own drinks and snacks, and bring a camera. The route is yours to shape.

If the heat builds, a swim cools you down fast. The snorkeling gear lets you see what lives below without a separate booking or extra cost. A cooler keeps food and drinks cold through the afternoon. The route passes the town by sea on one side and opens onto open water on the other, so you're never far from either option. Head back to port whenever the day feels complete.
