This experience, in a nutshell

Four days on a sailing boat in the beautiful setting of the east coast of Corfu, the island of the Phaeacians, one of the seafaring peoples narrated in the Odyssey.

The departure and arrival base will be the headquarters of the Corfu Sailing Club, inside the Old Venetian Fortress, built on the promontory that divides the Gulf of Kerkyra and the bay of Garitsa.

From here we will sail along the narrow channel that separates Corfu from the mainland, skirting between the east coast of the island and the port of Sivota on the mainland, site of the naval battle between Corinth and Corfu in 433 BC. With the mistral wind we will reach the island of Paxos and its characteristic ports of Lakka and Gaios.

On the way back, a must-see will be the fishing port of Petriti with its restaurants along the beach. A short sailing experience between colors, wind and good food!

Our itinerary

If the arrival times are favorable, we can decide to move for a first step to the nearest islands and sleep in the bay or stay and spend the night in Corfu, worthy of a visit with dinner in a typical Greek tavern.



Depending on the weather, we can head to Petriti, a characteristic fishing village, or Sivota with a stop in the bay on the adjacent islands. Then again heading to Paxos and if there is also Antipaxos. Return with an intermediate stop towards Corfu.

The itinerary may be subject to changes due to weather conditions and/or technical or logistical reasons, in order to ensure safety and a pleasant sailing experience for all participants.

I was so excited to go sailing in Greece. This dream unfortunately took a quick turn into a nightmare. The captain didn’t take us to any of the sites listed on the itinerary. We stayed close to the original port the whole trip. We would ask him each day to go to one of the listed places and he would just ignore the suggestions. He would also blame it each day on the weather yet we had beautiful weather the whole trip, minus the first day. The boat itself was constantly breaking down. We had a broke toilet which was not a plus. But the worst part of the trip was when the captain used the outside shower in front of myself and a few of the other girls on the boat. He proceeded to take his swim shorts off deliberately flashing his private parts to us. All the lady’s became super uncomfortable on the boat afterwards. It was super inappropriate. Would highly recommended spending your money elsewhere. Was a horrific experience.

The holiday did not go as I hoped and the main sore point is given by the skipper. It felt more like being in prison than on vacation. Rino did nothing but list prohibitions, he had a know-it-all and always annoyed tone. He had the constant habit of walking around the boat early in the morning, banging his feet forcefully near the cabins and managed the doors of the cabins as he pleased, opening and closing them even while we were inside. What is even more serious, in my opinion he disrespected us on at least two occasions by taking off his swimsuit in front of everyone to shower naked without even notifying us. A really unprofessional behavior. As for the itinerary, unfortunately it was not respected despite the weather conditions were favorable. Apart from the first day when we witnessed a storm, in all the following days not a leaf flew. If there had been the skipper's will, we could have easily arrived in Paxos (which we did not see). We have returned several times to the same places despite countless requests to see something new. We sailed a maximum of two hours a day, we practically paid for his vacation since for the rest of the time he was lying in the shade reading! Finally, I found the location of the marina inconvenient (although suggestive inside the fortress) as you have to walk at least twenty minutes on foot between stairs and climbs to reach the supermarket. I would suggest a more accessible marina considering that when you do a week's shopping for 6 people you don't go back to the boat with a few envelopes.
