Corfu

Sailing experience level

Sun-drenched Ionian cruising

Corfu is the northernmost of the seven Ionian Islands and the perfect starting point to explore the sun-drenched Ionian Sea. A mixture of sheltered coastal spots and more adventurous blue water stretches make Corfu an ideal destination for sailors of all abilities.

The famous Heptanese Islands are known for their relaxed culture and attractive scenery, excellent beaches, and warm, clear waters. Corfu is home to a number of relaxing beaches and imposing castles, as well as numerous outlying islands and abundant native wildlife. A combination of sheltered coastal and exciting open water sailing lets you take in Paxos and Antipaxos, known for their wine and excellent beaches.

Each Ionian Island offers panoramic views from high mountain peaks, sheltered bays and sandy beaches ideal for diving and snorkeling, delicious traditional food and drink, and ancient history spanning the very earliest western civilizations. Meanwhile, north from Corfu is Albania and another distinct, varied coastline to explore.

Victor Dawson Tortola

“Extremely well trained staff at Roadtown. This is to include everyone I was in contact with on the docks, in the restaurants, and at the desk. Really impressive.”

Julie Gagne Tortola

“Excellent service. Boats are well maintained and well equipped.”

Kevin Konzem Tortola

“I felt the customer service was top notch. All of the employees from the dock to the office were friendly and helpful. My crew, all of them first timers had a wonderful time and I am sure will want to return if not to the BVI to another Sunsail or Moorings location. I have chartered with moorings many times in the past and was completely satisfied, it was the same with Sunsail. Top notch.”

Marsha Adams Tortola

“Wonderful service and a beautiful trip. “
