This experience, in a nutshell

A weekend on a sailing boat along 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. We will be carried by the wind along the narrow channel that separates Corfu from the mainland: to the south, skirting between the east coast of the island, the port of Petriti and that of Sivota on the mainland, site of the naval battle between Corinth and Corfu in 433 BC, to the north visiting the picturesque towns of the island such as Santo Stefano or Kassiopi. A weekend of sailing, manoeuvres at the helm, wind and good food! 

Our skippers are sailing instructors. and teambuilding.

Your skipper will be Rino!

Our itinerary

Our trip starts here:

Corfu.

Check-in: 8:00 AM

Our trip ends here:

Corfu.

Check-out: 1:00 PM

Leg 1

Corfu History & Beauty

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.

Leg 2

Petriti / Sivota

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.

Leg 3

Return to Corfu

There will therefore be no shortage of miles to do, heading to Corfu and, if you have enough time, stopping at the islands opposite. The arrival is scheduled in the same marina in the ancient Venetian fortress.

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.

Gone with the Wind: Corfu and the Ionian Islands

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.

To make this review I hook up to Sara's review and the answer she was given: it makes me strange that a platform like yours allows itself to respond in this way. What does what happened to you 2 weeks ago have to do with the week we had? What is the connection? I've been on boat holidays for 6 years and for another two I kept my own boat, I faced STORMS in the middle of the sea (complete with a hood for 4 hours) and I can assure you that what happened to us was simply a summer storm, very common in almost all islands. The holiday was presented with 6 different islands to see and we barely saw one, taking us further by the bottoms, making us go around the fool where it could be done simply on foot. Not to mention the morning that he stamped his feet on the boat on purpose to make us wake up, like when we changed our swimsuit in front of everyone without a shred of privacy, without giving any explanation of the place and what we were seeing and where we were staying. We were the ones who told him where we wanted to go and if he could take us there, when he has to be the first skipper to take us to nice and different places than usual. The beauty of the boat is that in addition to enjoying the coves at sea there is also a view from land, places and places to discover .... And this did not happen. I would have avoided doing this review but after reading nonsensical answers it seems absolutely necessary to me. I have greatly underestimated you. I'm really sorry for sailsquare. Rino can face a crew Of his age because with young people he is not able to manage anything. Not to mention that there was no possibility to charge anything electrical (we had to do in rotation to charge a bit of battery on the phone) which I repeat after 6 years of experiences on a boat this for me is a caveman thing or the fridge or the telephone but where are we in the 600?! Do me the favor. And there would be other things to say but I avoid . Avoid arguing because I know that I want to take a boat holiday and it is not this is above all I know what it means to have a skipper who cares and likes what he does and it is not the case of Rino I am sorry.

I'm sorry to write a negative review, I would have much preferred to leave a positive one but unfortunately several situations that happened led me to tell all this: the itinerary was not respected by the skipper with the excuse of bad weather (it rained only one afternoon) always proposing the same stretch of sea; the boat is moored in the fortress of Corfu where it is very inconvenient to get there, especially to load the galley; Finally, the skipper's unprofessional attitudes unfortunately spoiled this holiday. Nothing to complain about the boat, really clean and well organized.
