The “Flash” product is a compact private motorboat with one skipper and a maximum of four guests. The current specification lists a 2025 build, 5.5-metre hull, 60-horsepower engine and cruising speed around 22 knots. Eight hours therefore means a long day on a small open craft, not the cabin space of a yacht.

The route advances north from Corfu Old Port

The timed itinerary proposes Akoli, Saint Arsenius, Nissaki, Glyfa, Agni, Barbati, Ipsos and Vido. A separate description also names Kouloura, Erimitis and Lazaretto. These lists should be treated as a pool of possibilities. Several half-hour swims plus a ninety-minute optional lunch can fit only if transit remains efficient and the skipper adapts the calls.

Small coves are the route’s advantage, while rocky landings may be uncomfortable without water shoes.

One cave may require an underwater entry

A verified participant reports that entering the cave involved swimming a short distance underwater; some members of that group chose not to attempt it. The listing does not explain that technique in its headline. Ask which cave is planned, whether entry is conditional, and what alternative is offered to swimmers who do not want to submerge beneath rock.

Fuel is collected separately

The skipper, water, soft drinks, beer, snorkel gear and snacks are listed in the package, together with taxes. Fuel appears as a separate cash charge calculated for the group; confirm the estimate before departure because route and consumption can affect it. Restaurant lunch at Agni is optional and paid by passengers. One review describes the provided snack as only a few breadsticks, so bring suitable food if the lunch stop is declined.

The old-port departure is about 1.5 kilometres from the cruise terminal, according to the operator. Ship passengers must add their own return buffer. Compare larger vessels in the Corfu boat guide, and use the Old Town guide if the port-side landmarks deserve time ashore.
