Yacht charter Corfu opens the door to the Ionian’s most culturally layered island – a place where Venetian fortresses command the harbour entrance, narrow kantounia lanes echo with the clink of espresso cups, and the countryside unfolds in rolling hills of olive and kumquat groves that slope to sheltered bays of startling blue. The UNESCO-listed Old Town is a mosaic of Byzantine, Venetian, French, and British architecture best explored on foot before returning to the yacht for a sunset cruise along the north-east coast toward the pristine waters of Paleokastritsa. From Corfu, the Albanian Riviera lies just a short crossing to the east, while the smaller Diapontia Islands to the north-west offer anchorages untouched by crowds. The charter fleet includes luxury catamarans from 55 ft, modern motor yachts in the 68–98 ft range, and superyachts above 100 ft – all well positioned for northern Ionian voyages with convenient embarkation from Gouvia Marina or Corfu’s town quay. Peak season is July and August; May–June and September–October offer excellent conditions with fewer yachts at anchor.
Rates start from €3,900 per day on a catamaran, from €4,900 per day on a motor yacht, from €8,900 per day on the latest 88–99 ft models, and from €11,900 per day on a superyacht, plus 12% VAT (or 6.5%) and APA. Corfu is where Italian-inflected elegance meets the Greek island spirit.

Our charter specialists can help you craft a bespoke route from Corfu through the wider Ionian.
Corfu is an excellent choice for family charters. The island’s sheltered east coast offers calm swimming conditions with gently sloping seabeds, and the short distances to Paxos, Antipaxos, and the Diapontia Islands mean limited time at sea between stops. Most yachts carry snorkelling gear, paddleboards, and water toys, and the crew can organise child-friendly shore excursions to suit all ages.
For July and August departures, booking six to nine months in advance is advisable – Corfu is a popular embarkation point for Ionian itineraries and the best yachts are reserved early by returning guests. Shoulder-season charters in May–June or September can usually be confirmed with three to four months’ notice, offering a wider selection of vessels and more relaxed scheduling.
Yes. From Corfu you can cruise south through Paxos and Antipaxos to Lefkada and Kefalonia for a full Ionian circuit, or cross east to the Albanian Riviera for a multi-country itinerary taking in Saranda and the Blue Eye spring. A two-week charter allows time for a comprehensive exploration, and our team can handle the additional permits required for any international crossings.
The base charter rate covers the yacht, professional crew, insurance, and standard onboard equipment including water toys and snorkelling gear. Fuel, provisioning, berthing fees at Gouvia Marina and elsewhere, and any special requests are covered by the Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA), set at 25–35% of the charter fee. Greek VAT at 12% (and in some cases at 6.5%) applies to all Corfu charters.
