The duration selection changes this private cruise more than any onboard amenity. Four hours keeps the route close to Corfu Town and Vido; eight hours makes the north-east coast a realistic destination. The boat is reserved exclusively for the booking party and carries no more than eight guests; a captain, fuel and taxes are included.
The four-hour version: town coast and two swim areas
The proposed circuit passes the Old Fortress, Garitsa Bay, Mon Repos, Vlacherna and Mouse Island. It then allows for a secluded swim before continuing towards Vido for swimming or snorkelling. These are route intentions rather than a contractual checklist: wind, traffic and the time a group spends in the water influence how many points can be covered comfortably.
The eight-hour version: commit the day to the north-east
The longer choice can extend beyond town to Nissaki’s Blue Caves, Barbati and caves near Ipsos. It also leaves room for an optional seaside-taverna stop. Restaurant lunch is not in the package, so the group pays for it separately and should count that stop against cruising and swimming time. Selecting eight hours simply to add more place names is poor use of the boat; choose it when longer anchor time or the north-east shore is the priority.
What is already aboard
Snorkelling equipment, flotation noodles, light snacks and a selection of water, beer, soft drinks and wine are named inclusions. The boat also has a toilet and Bluetooth audio. These details support a day on the water but do not turn snacks into lunch. Hotel transfer is outside the product, and the tour is marked unsuitable for travellers with mobility impairments.
Old-port logistics for cruise passengers
The listed meeting point is on the waterside at Eleftheriou Venizelou 26 in Corfu’s old port. From the cruise terminal, the operator estimates roughly twenty-five minutes on foot or about three minutes by taxi. Build additional margin around ship disembarkation and the boat’s agreed return; a private booking does not remove the need to coordinate times.
