Corfu, the second largest among the Ionian Islands, belongs to the Corfu Prefecture which is a group of small and large islands in the periphery of Ionian Sea. Its coastline is 217 km with world class beaches. In fact, some of the beaches in the island have received accolades from Blue Flag, the European eco-label program that honors the cleanest beaches in the world. Yachting is a surefire hit in this Greek island especially that most of the beaches are converted to resorts with outstanding amenities and facilities.

Every day is holiday in Corfu as you can sail through the island all year round.  Most of the tourists choose to spend their sailing trips during sunny days and summer though. Specifically, the yachting season in Corfu runs from April to November, yet the busiest season begins on the last week of July until the first week of September. Plan and book your cruise at least three months so you are assured of an exemplary yachting holiday when you get there. Always remember that it is possible for you to book your trip 330 days prior to your desired date.

During peak season, the yacht charters in Corfu will be very crowded. Foreigners will flock into the island for a different kind of getaway. You can expect the opening of all clubs, museums, and other commercial establishments in the area. More choices of charter flights are available while the expenses increase about 10%.  If you love the crowd then the high season is for you.

If you prefer a more serene and calm environment, you better book your cruising escapade on the third week of September up until the whole month of November. Corfu will have steady winds and stable climate during these times which is very suitable for snorkeling and diving. Their world class beaches will surely captivate you as well. Only few tourists are spending their holiday in the Greek island. Because of that, yacht charters will have cheaper rates.
