Corfu YACHT CHARTERS, Greece

The best way to familiarize yourself with any island is to explore it by land and by sea. If you want to get the maximum of your trip, it is necessary to swim in clear waters far away from crowded beaches, go diving, and investigate all corners of an island, which cannot be reached from the land. Therefore, boat rental is a great method to get unforgettable emotions and raise the quality level of your holiday.

It is possible to book a boat for a couple of days or even spend the whole vacation on a yacht. Your best assistants in the yacht charter area are professionals from 12 Knots. This company successfully provides high-quality boat rental services since 2009 in 36 amazing regions. One of the most popular locations for sailing vacation is Greece, with its beautiful islands and incredible views. In particular, with 12 Knots, you can rent a boat on Corfu.

The Greek island Corfu is famous for its spectacular nature and rich flora. In addition, Corfu is an attractive holiday destination for tourists all over the world due to the exciting nightlife and historic showplaces. A lot of sailors love this location because of comfortable sailing conditions, a variety of terrific bays, and breathtaking mountains view, which you can enjoy only from the sea.

Besides Corfu exploring, sailing gives a possibility to visit famous Ionian islands, including the smallest one ­ Paxos. Do not miss a chance to familiarize yourself with incredible insular Greece.

The best time to sail on Corfu and to other Greek locations is, definitely, a warm season, which includes all summer months, as well as May and September, in Greece. However, do not be afraid to get tired of the hot sun and heat. Greek islands are famous for their mild climate and nice cool nights. 

In addition, the main charter base of Corfu is settled in Gouvia, which is near the airport. So, your trip from the airport to your boat will take only 15 minutes. One more advantage of sailing in Corfu is the opportunity to sail in different weather conditions. For instance, southern Corfu usually has calm sea and moderate winds, while the northern part of the island is famous for higher winds, which makes sailing more exciting but still safe.

The yacht booking process is quite simple and quick due to the convenient system provided by 12 Knots. However, there could be difficulties related to your documents. Make sure you are ready for a trip and check all necessary documents. You must have permission to enter Greece (visa, etc.) and provide your identity documents and needed insurances (travel cancellation and medical assistance). Furthermore, if you would like to use a bareboat charter in Corfu, you should gain a special sailing certificate.   

Consider your driving skills. If you are not well-experienced in yacht driving, do not book a bareboat vehicle. Besides, if you would like to practice and improve your skills, do not choose big vehicles like gulets, which are difficult in driving.
