Where to Go

Coves worth finding.

With your own boat, the coastline becomes a sequence of private discoveries: a pebble cove with no road down to it, a lunch stop at a seaside taverna, a swim in water so clear you can count the stones below.

Every handover includes a suggested chart of nearby coves and swim stops, plus advice on the day’s wind and sea conditions. For the remote west coast caves, we recommend our captained speed boat tour.

Questions

Before you sail.

Can I rent a boat in Corfu without a licence?

Yes. Boats of up to 30 HP can be driven without a boating licence. You receive a full handover briefing and safety equipment before you set off.

Can I rent a bigger boat without a captain?

Yes, if you hold a valid boating licence. Select “Licensed self-drive boat” in the quote panel and confirm your licence in the final step.

Can I add a captain later?

Of course. Any self-drive request can be upgraded to a captained day — simply mention it in your notes.

Is fuel included in a self-drive rental?

Fuel terms are set out in your personal quotation, together with the rental period and the boat assigned to you.
