About this tour

Explore Corfu’s Coastline: A Private Boat Tour Crafted for Pure Relaxation

There’s nothing quite like the light on the Ionian Sea, especially when you’re skimming across the waves with the breeze in your hair and the scent of salt in the air. The Corfu: Private Boat Tour offers visitors to Corfu, Greece a different perspective—far from the busy village squares and bustling Old Town, out where rocky coves and pine-clad headlands meet the open blue.

Corfu’s Coast: Drift Further Than the Beach

While the cafés of Old Corfu Town and shaded lanes of Kanoni are always inviting, the real magic happens when you leave the shore. This private boat tour reveals coastline that most only glimpse from afar. Board your boat with a small group (up to 8 people), and set off along the eastern edge of the island. Every bend brings a new surprise—hidden coves, ancient cliffs, and those impossibly clear waters that make Corfu a stand-out among Greek islands.

The Experience: Private, Comfortable, Local

This tour is designed for a relaxed, casual pace. It’s staffed by a local skipper who knows the best corners of the Corfu coastline, and includes thoughtful touches: snorkeling equipment, floating sea noodles, a Bluetooth speaker for your favorite summer playlist, and a well-stocked cooler with light snacks, wine, soft drinks, water, and beer. Gather friends or family (the boat comfortably fits up to eight) for a few hours that feel both special and easygoing.

Highlights Along the Water

  • Views of Old Corfu Town and Fortress: Take in the coastal silhouette as yachts and ferries bustle in the bay, and the medieval fortresses stand guard over the city’s terracotta roofs.
  • Swim in Crystal-Clear Bays: The shoreline features plenty of sheltered coves—many only accessible by boat—where you can swim or float in water that shimmers with the sun.
  • Snorkeling: The Ionian is rich with sea life. Snorkeling spots chosen by your skipper show another side of the island: darting fish among sunlit rocks, glimpses of seaweed gardens, and the gentle rhythm of waves.

  • All fuel and taxes
  • Experienced local skipper
  • Snorkeling equipment
  • Light snacks, water, beer, soft drinks, and wine (with extra available on request)

Perfect for Couples, Families & Friends

Whether you’re planning a romantic day out, travelling as a family, or gathering a group of friends, the Corfu: Private Boat Tour is easy to tailor to your style. Some choose sunbathing and leisurely swims, others opt for more adventure with hours of snorkeling and exploring rocky inlets.

Why Choose a Private Boat Tour in Corfu?

Of all the things to do in Corfu, spending a day on the water never disappoints. It’s romantic, family-friendly, and allows you to see a side of the island that hotels, roads, and even hiking trails can’t reach. Think mid-morning light sparkling on the water, the distant sound of church bells from a seaside village, and gentle breezes that bring welcome relief from the summer heat.

Plan Ahead for Summer

Tour availability can change by season. Advance booking is recommended, especially during high summer when Corfu’s best excursions fill quickly.

For more on current schedules, inclusions, and available departure dates, check with the service provider directly to plan your perfect day afloat. The sea’s colors, the rugged coast, and that sense of freedom—you’ll carry them with you long after Corfu slips from view.

“I went with four other friends and everything went very well. Spyros was a very polite guide, very helpful and very friendly. We had water, drinks, snakes and everything mentioned in the tour description. It's well worth the money and the boat is big enough for even more people. We loved it and want to go back!”
