Make the most of the season by following these simple guidelines

If you’re planning a trip to Corfu, a trip on the water is usually near the top of the list.

But once you start looking into it, the options can feel overwhelming. There are shared boat tours, self-drive rentals, party boats, and private charters all promising a great experience.

The reality is that not all boat trips in Corfu are equal.


Some are built for volume and affordability. Others are designed around comfort, privacy, and a more curated experience.

If you’re considering a private luxury yacht charter, the question isn’t just “what does it cost?” it’s whether it delivers something meaningfully different.

This guide breaks down:

  • What standard boat trips are really like
  • What makes a private luxury yacht experience different
  • When it’s worth the investment
  • And what to look for when choosing the right charter



Typical features of standard boat trips

01

No charter control

Fixed departure times and routes.

02

Overcrowding

Groups of 20 to 100+ people can result in limited seating or space to move around.

03

Limited offering

Basic refreshments, if any.

04

No personalisation

  • Short stops at popular swimming spots.

These trips can be enjoyable, especially if you’re looking for something simple and cost-effective. They’re a good introduction to the coastline and can give you a taste of Corfu from the water.

Where they fall short

Lack of privacy

You’re sharing the experience with strangers

Rigid itineraries

No flexibility to stay longer at places you enjoy

Crowded environments

Particularly in peak season.


Surface-level experience

More about ticking off sights than truly enjoying them

The new season is a great reason to make and keep resolutions. Whether it’s eating right or cleaning out the garage, here are some tips for making and keeping resolutions.

Make a list

Lists are great ways to stay on track. Write down some big things you want to accomplish and some smaller things, too.


Check the list regularly

Don’t forget to check in and see how you’re doing. Just because you don’t achieve the big goals right away doesn’t mean you’re not making progress.


Reward yourself

When you succeed in achieving a goal, be it a big one or a small one, make sure to pat yourself on the back.


Think positively

Positive thinking is a major factor in success. So instead of mulling over things that didn’t go quite right, remind yourself of things that did.
