Serene Yacht Charters in Corfu
With its picturesque sailing routes, charming tavernas, mythical heritage, and pristine beaches, the North Ionian Islands rank among the Mediterranean’s most enchanting sailing destinations.
Start your Greek yacht charter from Corfu’s Gouvia Bay, where you can combine leisurely island hops with longer, scenic passages.
The North Ionian boasts some of the Mediterranean’s most captivating towns and secluded islands, each surrounded by sparkling turquoise seas.
Set sail for nearby Paxos and Antipaxos, two gems home to olive groves, vineyards, soft white sands, and crystal-clear waters. Across on the mainland, the inviting harbors of Sivota Mourtos and Parga promise a delightful blend of culture and coastal charm.
Just 9 nautical miles off the Greek mainland, Paxos offers it all; golden beaches, dramatic landscapes, charming villages, vibrant nightlife (especially in Lakka Town), and waters so clear they seem unreal.

When to Visit Corfu
The North Ionian yachting season runs from April to October. Our favourite times to visit are June and September, when the weather is very pleasant and the anchorages aren't too crowded.
Corfu temperatures peak in the high 30s °C in July and August, when the school holidays mean the waters can get quite congested, and air conditioning becomes a must!!
The summertime prevailing wind, the Maistro, is a generally gentle (and sometimes timid) NW that likes a morning lie-in and generally goes to bed early around sunset. But beware the extreme ends of the season, as the weather is less predicable and can get quite feisty.

Gouvia Marina
A large, pretty marina of Venetian origin, Gouvia sits to the west of Corfu Town.
The North Ionian Sea's primary charter yacht base, marina Gouvia is home to every bareboat charter company on Corfu island
It is only 6km to the airport, and there is a decent supermarket in the marina, with a larger one just a short walk outside.
The surrounding sailing area is attractive, and the marina is in keeping with the classical Corfu architectural style.

A smaller marina based around an old fortress just next to Corfu's Old Town, this marina is usually reserved for privately-owned boats, with a few luxury crewed yacht charter options.
