9 Best Corfu Boat Trips: From Corfu Town (2024)

Are you planning your Corfu itinerary and considering going on a boat trip from Corfu? 

Great idea, Corfu boat trips are one of the most popular things on the island!

I absolutely love going on boat trips, and recently I spent a week in Corfu, the island that is perfect for exploring from the sea! 

While there are many boat trips on the island, not all of them depart from Corfu Town. 

Reaching the departure point without a car can be complicated, especially early in the morning.

To save you time sifting through all the listings, I compiled this list of the best boat trips from Corfu Town.

Let’s find the best Corfu boat tours!

Disclaimer: This post may contain affiliate links, which means I may receive a commission, at no extra cost to you, if you make a purchase through a link. I hope you find the information here helpful!

My TOP Picks:

✔️ Full-day boat trip ✔️ Lunch and drinks included

✔️Luxury yacht with lunch in local taverna included ✔️ Swimming and sightseeing

✔️ Full-day sightseeing and swimming ✔️ Great for solo travelers

1. Corfu Town: Full-Day Cruise with Lunch, Drinks & Swim Stops

⭐️ RATING: 4.9/5 Stars | ⏳ TOUR LENGTH: 6.5 hours | Check it out!

If you’re looking for the best Corfu boat trip, look no further! This full-day cruise with lunch and drinks is the best value-for-money tour on the island.

The cruise departs from Corfu Town and takes you to secluded beaches along the northeastern side of the island.

You’ll get to swim on 3 beautiful beaches, and see some of the impressive Corfu landmarks from the sea. 

The crew will tell you all about the places you sail by, including one of the oldest lighthouses on the island Peristeres Lighthouse, and the historic Kerassia Tower.

With a maximum of 20 people on board, you don’t have to worry about the boat being too crowded. 

What sets this tour apart from others is the delicious and generous lunch included in the trip rate. Wine and soft drinks are also included!

The crew took excellent care of us! The day was fun. Lots of tasty food and drinks. Good portions. We stopped at some nice swim spots and enjoyed learning a little bit about the northern part of Corfu. – Melanie, Canada ( read more reviews )

2. Luxury Private Cruise to Paxos, Antipaxos & Blue Cave

⭐️ RATING: NEW! | ⏳ TOUR LENGTH: 8 hours | Check it out!

Sometimes you can get tired of crowds and want to enjoy a day on your own, exploring secluded beaches and soaking up sun on the board a luxury yacht. 

If that’s you, then this luxury private cruise is for you!

This is the best private boat tour in Corfu. You’ll get to sail on a luxury yacht, enjoy snorkeling in crystal clear sea, and visit some of the most picturesque islands in the Ionian Sea.

While some private tours charge you an additional fuel fee, this tour is all-inclusive – the price you see is the price you pay.

You’ll have a skipper and a hostess taking care of you during the trip, and a traditional Greek lunch is organized in a local taverna on Paxos Island.

Hotel pick-up is also included, so you don’t have to worry about getting to the departure point if you don’t rent a car in Corfu .

While I think that sailing in Corfu on a luxury yacht is incredibly romantic, this tour requires a minimum of 5 participants, so it is a better choice for families and friend groups than couples. 

You can also pay for 5 people if you fall in love with this tour like I did!

3. Antipaxos & Paxos Blue Caves Boat Cruise

⭐️ RATING: 4.6/5 Stars | ⏳ TOUR LENGTH: 12 hours | Check it out!

This full-day boat cruise is the best option if you want to visit Paxos and Antipaxos if you’re visiting Corfu on a budget!

The cruise takes you to Antipaxos and Paxos, where you’ll have about 2 hours to discover the island, have lunch, and go for a swim.

You’ll also get to see the beautiful Blue Caves and swim on secluded beaches.

The tour is also popular with Corfu backpackers and younger tourists, so there will be a DJ for the atmosphere and you’ll get to see a traditional dance on the way back.

It is a large group tour, and the lunch is not included in the price, so if that’s important to you I’d go for the first listed option. 

However, you’ll pay under 50€ for a full-day boat trip, which is a great deal compared to the average prices in Corfu . 

“ The experience was incredible, the organization and the staff on board as the guide were great. I had a great time, and the landscapes were brutal. ” – Berta, Spain ( read more reviews )

4. Corfu Sunset Cruise on Classic Boat

⭐️ RATING: 4.8/5 Stars | ⏳ TOUR LENGTH: 2 hours | Check it out!

I’ve seen some of the most beautiful sunsets in Corfu . However, they are not easy to see from Corfu Town which is facing east.

This is why this Corfu sunset cruise is one of the best boat trips in Corfu for couples and sunset lovers.

You’ll embark on a 2-hour journey on a beautiful traditional sailboat, with a small group of people to watch the sunset over the Old Town of Corfu. 

It is also a guided tour, so your guide will teach you about the history of Corfu and point out important landmarks of this UNESCO Heritage town you sail past.

All you have to do is relax and enjoy the cruise, admiring the stunning sunset and snacking on traditional finger food. You’ll also get a cocktail or another drink you’d like to sip on while cruising.

“ We loved it! It has been a spectacular evening! The crew was very attentive and friendly, it was a magnificent sunset. The appetizers and the cocktail were delicious .” – Leticia, Spain ( read more reviews )

5. Private Tour To Explore East Corfu

If you want to escape the crowds, you can opt for this private boat tour along Corfu’s eastern coastline. 

This Corfu private boat tour is significantly more affordable than the luxury cruise, as the price covers up to 10 participants. It is also a more budget-friendly option for couples, but it doesn’t include lunch.

The tour lasts 8 hours, and you’ll get to swim and snorkel on 3 beaches, including Barbati beach which is one of my favorite beaches in Corfu. 

As it is a private tour, you can personalize the itinerary to visit other places in Corfu.

One thing to remember is that you’ll have to pay a fuel surcharge in cash on the day of the tour. It is about 150€ for the whole group.

6. Corfu: Full-Day Boat Tour to Albania

⭐️ RATING: NEW | ⏳ TOUR LENGTH: 10 hours | Check it out!

If you have a week in Corfu , taking a day trip from Albania to Corfu is a fantastic way to add a visit to another country to your itinerary, without breaking the bank!

Corfu is conveniently located right across the Albanian coastline, making for a quick and easy boat trip over! While you could self-organize a ferry over to Albania, joining this tour makes it much easier. 

There is no guided portion of this tour, so once you’re in Sarandë you’re kind of on your own. 

You’ll have about 6 hours of free time, so you can stay in the city, go to the beach or visit the popular Ksamil beach.

You could also join their guided tour to UNESCO-listed Butrint National Park , or you can organize it on your own once you’re in Albania.

Remember you are crossing the border, so make sure you have the right paperwork to enter Albania!

7. Parga, Sivota, and Blue Lagoon Full-Day Boat Cruise

⭐️ RATING: 4.5/5 Stars | ⏳ TOUR LENGTH: 10 hours | Check it out!

If you’re looking for Corfu Town boat trips that take you to mainland Greece, this is the best one !

Parga is one of the most picturesque towns in the area, and it is well worth visiting if you’re already in Corfu.

You’ll have about 2.5 hours there, so you can stroll the cobblestone streets, grab lunch, or go for a swim!

After visiting Parga, you’ll head towards Sivota. You won’t disembark there, only look at it from the sea. 

Next up is the Blue Lagoon, which is simply mesmerizing. The water is so clear and there’s a lot of fish, making for fabulous snorkeling! 

One thing to consider is that the boat ride is quite long. It takes almost 3 hours from Corfu to Parga, so be prepared with something to do during the ride.

“ Simply great. Parga is a beautiful town, with a beautiful view. Along the way you drive the whole ship into a cave, which is very impressive .” – Nico, Germany  ( read more reviews )

8. Day Cruise to Paxos, Antipaxos, & the Blue Caves

⭐️ RATING: 3.9/5 Stars | ⏳ TOUR LENGTH: 11 hours | Check it out!

If you want to visit the beautiful islands of Paxos and Antipaxos on a budget, this Corfu boat tour is a great option.

Also, it is one of the rare boat tours in Corfu in May that departs every day of the week!

Before booking, you should be aware that it is a large group tour, as some people have complained that the tour is crowded, but for the price, you can’t beat it. 

You’ll get to discover two charming islands, Paxos and Antipaxos, and swim at the unique Blue Caves.

Lunch is not included, but you’ll have enough time on the islands to grab something in local tavernas.

As it is an affordable tour, it is popular with younger crowds, so the music and the atmosphere on the boat are quite lively!

Had a really amazing day – would highly recommend booking the cruise via GetYourGuide – everything went smoothly and was very well organised! – Beverly, Ireland ( read more reviews )

9. Private Tour To Explore Corfu & Canal D’Amour 

If you don’t have many days in Corfu , this private boat tour is a fantastic way to explore the northern coast of Corfu, without driving across the mountain in the center of the island.

While most cruises from Corfu stay on the northeastern coast, this tour takes you to the famous Canal D’Amour in Sidari and the stunning Cape Drastis. 

You can personalize the rest of your day, and you can ask your guide to take you to a specific beach if you’d like. Alternatively, you can trust the expert skipper to show you the best beaches in Corfu!

Be aware that the tour price covers up to 7 participants, but you’ll have to pay an additional fuel surcharge in cash on the day of the tour.

FAQ: Corfu Boat Tours

You can choose among several destinations for your Corfu boat trip. The most popular are the neighboring islands Paxos and Antipaxos. You can also go to the mainland Greek fishing villages of Parga and Sivota. Finally, you can simply cruise around the island, there are endless secluded beaches and stunning sites to see!

Yes, you can easily visit islands Paxos and Antipaxos on a boat trip from Corfu. The ride takes about 3 hours in one direction, but it is a very popular day trip from Corfu.

Final Thoughts: Best Corfu Boat Trips From Corfu Town

Sailing tours are fantastic day trips from Corfu Town , and with so many Corfu boat tours, it can seem hard to pick the best one.

We were surprised with the hospitality of common people in the alleyways of the villages and the fact that we always heard “good morning” from people standing outside their home. The cooking experience in the countryside was brilliant and our dish was delightful.

We were always searching for more and more things to see, touch, feel and hear. Original ideas of tours, contact with amazing locals and lovely organization of the whole experience.

We had a full experience with our friends and if we had much more time for holidays we would choose to spend it with you again, for sure. We never felt like common customers, but like friends and your guests. This was the most important to us and the most pleasant day of our holidays in Corfu. Thank you!

We have been visiting Corfu for 20 years and “the corfu expereince” was a big surprise, a unique experience. Thank you for offering this tour of undiscovered places and making us learn about the culture of the countryside in Corfu, a place that we so much love.

This is Greece

If you deconstruct Greece, you will in the end see an olive tree, a grapevine, and a boat remain. That is, with as much, you reconstruct her.

Experience, travel - these are an education themselves

It takes a lifetime to discover Greece, but it only takes an instant to fall in love with her.
