Itinerary
This is the private Marina where the trip begins from. It is the meeting point and boarding point. This is where we will slowly make our way towards the first swimming stop.
The first stop is in the crystal clear green waters of Barbati for 25 minutes. Here you can swim and snorkel and dive from the deck of the sailing boat.
We will then continue up the coastline to Gialiskari Beach, the main stop of your trip, where we will stay for approximately 1 hour. Here you will have the time for snorkeling, swimming, and cliff diving. After this, your skipper will serve you refreshments and drinks as well as sandwiches and seasonal fruit.
At this stop you visit the blue cave where you will have the chance to explore it. The inside of the cave has a beautiful blue color which is reflected onto the rocks above when the sunlight hits the entrance. In this area there are also more cliff diving spots.

What travelers say
Our summary of the 99 most recent reviews (Jul 2023 – Oct 2026), collected by Viator and Tripadvisor.
Reviewers almost uniformly describe a relaxed, small-group sail along Corfu's coast with a friendly skipper and several swim stops in clear water. Problems are rare; the main practical issue is finding the right boat in the marina.
What travelers love
- Friendly, informative skippers55 of 99 reviews
The skipper is central to most reviews: welcoming, fun, sharing facts about the coast and helping in the water. Ari and Nico are named most often, with Tasos and Savas also mentioned.
- Swim stops, caves and cliffs43 of 99 reviews
People loved the three swim stops in clear water, with snorkeling, a swim into a sea cave and cliff jumping for the bolder ones.
- Small group, plenty of space30 of 99 reviews
With around ten to twelve guests per yacht, many say it felt almost private and roomy, a welcome contrast to the big party boats.
- Simple lunch on board25 of 99 reviews
A light lunch of sandwiches and fruit with soft drinks is appreciated, with alcohol sold at fair prices. A few call the food basic and suggest bringing extra.
- Good value for the day17 of 99 reviews
Several reviewers single out the value, saying the length of the trip and what is included compare well with what they paid.
Where it falls short
No complaint comes up repeatedly: none appears in more than a few of the 99 reviews.
Best for
- Families with children who can swim
- Cruise passengers with half a day in port
- Couples and solo travelers wanting a quiet sail
- Confident swimmers who enjoy snorkeling
Maybe not for
- Travelers looking for a party boat
- Non-swimmers uneasy about deep-water stops
Tips from past travelers
- The berth can be hard to spot; check the boat name and marina markings beforehand, as several reviewers struggled to find it.
- Bring your own goggles or snorkel, plus water and sunscreen; spare gear is limited and the deck gets hot.
- Carry cash if you want alcoholic drinks on board.
- Swim stops involve jumping into deep water; less confident swimmers can ask for a life vest.
