Wonderful time….

We had a wonderful experience sailing to Paxos and the surrounding coves etc. A simply stunning way to celebrate a friends 50th Birthday. The facilities on board were perfect, coupled with a friendly and attentive crew. I would 100% look forward to doing the same again one day soon !

Br illiant luxury boat day trip

Jul 2023 • Family

We booked the Sea Kid for a full day. Brilliant quick response to our initial enquiry, and then seamless booking experience. Was no trouble to collect us from our nearest harbour. We were greeted by George and Angel who looked after us amazingly well all day. 

Supplied drinks and snacks and on our various lovely stops during the day got us organised with SUPs and sea bobs even booked and organised a lovely taverna for a lunch stop. The Sea Kid was a perfect boat for our group size of 8 including 4 large boys ! It had loads of space for everyone and a very cool looking boat to boot. Wouldn’t hesitate to Recommend

First class service on a luxury catamaran!

Aug 2023 • Friends

We chartered the NISI gtx55 catamaran yacht for a group of 15 friends and it was absolutely amazing. We decided to do a 4 hour sunset trip which took us to two different swimming spots and a nice view of the sun setting.

The staff were simply amazing and the boat was super nice. Everyone on board raved about how it was the highlight of our weeklong trip!

Sailing Qualifications

To skipper a bareboat charter or flotilla yacht, you need to hold a practical sailing certificate equivalent to RYA Day Skipper Practical qualification or RYA International Certificate of Competence (ICC) . For charters in Greece, you must now have the ICC certificate . You must also be assisted by at least one competent crew member over the age of 18.

The port authorities in Greece are now insisting on one of the following practical certificates: RYA ICC (International Certificate of Competence), RYA Coastal, RYA Yachtmaster, ASA IPC (International Proficiency Certificate) or the IYT (International Yacht Training) Passport. If you hold an RYA Day Skipper or ASA104 it will no longer be accepted and you need to obtain either an ICC or IPC from the corresponding issuing body (RYA or ASA). If your RYA Coastal/Yachtmaster or ASA105/106 certificate is more than 12 years old and does not have a photo ID, then we would also strongly advise applying for an ICC or IPC. If you are a member of the RYA or ASA, you may qualify for a discount or free certificate, otherwise, you will have to pay. The approximate cost is £50. Please use this link - RYA application for the ICC or ASA application for the IPC.

For charters in Croatia, Malta and the Canaries , at least one member of the crew or the skipper will also need a VHF licence .

RYA qualifications can be obtained by RYA sailing schools in the UK or alternatively choose from one of our overseas centres in Gibraltar, Greece or Turkey .

For  Seychelles,  the local authorities require an ICC for the skipper of a bareboat or flotilla yacht charter.

For Caribbean and Tropical charters, formal qualifications are not compulsory, however, you should be Day Skipper standard and be assisted by at least one competent crew . A brief sailing resume should be provided to outline your experience.

For Thailand A Day Skipper qualification is required as a minimum and you must have at least 3 weeks of skippering experience prior to your charter. A VHF qualification is compulsory.

If you don't hold the relevant qualifications then why not add a skipper ?

Corfu Sailing Journal by Kali, Nautilus Yachting

Flying on what felt like the very first flight from Gatwick airport, our three-hour Easyjet flight to Greece meant that we arrived in Corfu just before lunch, giving us the entire afternoon to get prepped and ready for the week. Stepping out of the airport into what felt like UK rain and drizzle we were not sure how the week was going to fair.

A swift 20 minute journey later we arrived at Gouvia Marina, which certainly brightened the mood. The Marina is a short distance from Corfu town but easily one of the biggest marinas I have seen in a while. A sea of over 1000 masts, a supermarket, a pool, plus restaurants and bars, all easily accessible from the yacht. Gouvia is certainly somewhere you could lose a few hours waiting for your yacht to be readied, which we did happily. A little before 5pm we met Helen, our trusted skipper for the week, and stepped aboard our SO449 that would be our home on the water for a week.

Day 1 - Gouvia Marina to Benitses (10nm)

Looking to get as involved as possible, I joined Helen for a catch up on the week's plans. The weather forecast for the next few days looked to involve strong winds and swell. Rather than have a full on battle for our first day, we instead decided to head to Benitses, a small town only 10nm away with a very new and well-protected marina.

Helen safely took us out of the marina and thankfully the very British-style drizzle we were encountering seemed to stay over Corfu Town and we sailed into a great big blue sky and 25-plus degrees of heat. Now in open water, I happily had the opportunity to take the helm and sail us towards Benitses before our Helen took over the complicated mooring, spinning the boat on a sixpence and mooring us safely for the evening.

Day 2 - Benitses to Plataria (17nm)

What goes down, must come up.

We had a very relaxed start to the day with a few pastries from a nice little bakery in the village but the relaxation did not last long! Last night's planning suggested a casual four hour sail across to the mainland so after a quick briefing from our skipper we set passage out of the marina and headed towards Plataria - a simple sail!

In reality, we had 20kts of wind on the nose, six feet of swell and what seemed like colossal waves for an amateur crew. Sailing on our second reef for over 30nm meant some real sailing today! We ended up with a six hour sail, speeds of up to 8 knots and the kind of weather usually found in the Dodecanese rather than the Ionian. For most, this was a pleasant surprise, however some of the crew did not take well to some fantastic sailing conditions!

Once we got through it, the calm waters of Plataria felt like a million miles away from the day's adventures. We enjoyed a well-deserved meal in Olgas Tarverna sharing stories of how brave we were on today's sail and thanking all the Gods for having a professional skipper to lead the way!

Day 3 - Plataria to Syvota (7nm)

A new day, a new beginning. With yesterday's marathon behind us, we opted to have a very relaxing day today. After a quick conversation with our skipper, we updated the plans and created a new itinerary of a short sail followed by a day of rest.

The plan was that today's sailing would be more "Ionian" and a casual hour or two at sea. To get over the high jinx of yesterday's sailing our skipper encouraged my son onto the helm and he took to it like a duck to water. With just a quick informal lesson on how to helm, yesterday's seasickness went out of the window and he confidently took us to Syvota, a real gem of a town.

Syvota itself has restaurants, shops and tavernas lining the town key as well as secluded beaches, all within walking distance. Syvota felt like a place where you could easily spend a week's holiday.

Day 4 - Syvota

We spent the day enjoying Syvota, exploring the beaches, 'testing' the tavernas in the town and living the high life. One side of the town has a long beach and due to the time of year, we had the beach all to ourselves.

In the late afternoon we wandered back to town and watched the yachts come in. Sitting with a gelato and watching everything from the shore, you can appreciate how much work the skipper does getting the boat in safely at the end of the day.

In the evening we strolled over the hill to Syvota Mourtas and enjoyed some fine dining in a five-star restaurant before retiring to the boat for the night.

Day 5 - Syvota to Igoumentitsa Creek (10nm)

Waving goodbye to a town that I could happily return to at a later date, we carried on our sailing adventures. Following the calm sleep on anchor in Plataria on Monday night, we spoke to Helen and requested another night swinging on anchor. Knowing the area well, she recommended a small creek slightly off the beaten track. We restocked the galley ready for our night under the stars and set off for the quiet bay.

Igoumenitsa Creek had a precarious entrance but under the watchful eye of Helen, we pootled into a stunning little inlet. The advantages of sailing in October became very apparent as we dropped the anchor and noticed we were the only boat in the anchorage giving us plenty of space to swim and zip about in the tender.

As sunset approached we sat in the serenity of what felt like our own private bay, listening out for the sound of fish jumping out of the water catching flies. With this being our final night, we cooked a huge feast of almost everything we had on board and tried our hardest to finish all the gin and wine we had bought, before going to sleep under a cloudless sky.

Day 6 - Igoumenitsa Creek to Gouvia Marina (18nm)

Our final day and our journey back "home". After the strange weather from the opening day, our final day was the polar opposite. It was late October and we were motoring back to Corfu in 27-degree heat, not a breath of wind and water as smooth as glass!

We started the week as three fresh-faced sailors, but on this return leg our confidence had grown enough for us all to take turns on the helm. We enjoyed a final lunch on the water before heading into the marina where we happily reminisced about our week, whilst scrolling through a few hundred photos and videos!

We had a fabulous week on the water with amazing food, lots of laughs and a massive sense of achievement - leaving everyone in the group thinking "when are we doing this again?"

Corfu Weather Forecast

Corfu sailing holidays: popular questions answered., how much is it to charter a yacht in corfu.

This depends on the dates you choose for your sailing holiday and, of course, the size and type of the boat. Typically, a yacht charter in June will cost approximately 3,000 EUR plus obligatory extras on a 3-cabin monohull and 5,000 EUR plus obligatory extras on a 40 ft. catamaran. Prices tend to be lower in April and May and higher during the peak season (July & August). The end of September and October is also a period when you can take advantage of lower prices. Other than the boat price, you should also consider the obligatory cleaning. That would be around 200 EUR for a monohull depending on its size and 300 EUR for a catamaran, also depending on its size. Provisioning, mooring fees and fuel are to be covered by the charterer. For more details about yacht charter options in Corfu, please contact our team at [email protected]

Is Corfu good for sailing?

Corfu is a perfect starting point for a sailing holiday and one of the most in-demand sailing grounds in Greece. Ideal for beginner sailors or those looking for a mile-building trip in mild wind and sea conditions, the North Ionian is known for the abundance of anchorages and easy line of sight navigation.

What is the best month to sail in Corfu?

If you are not restricted by school holidays, we would recommend chartering in June. You can expect warm and mostly sunny weather conditions, with the perk of avoiding the crowds of peak season. Prices are also much more attractive during early summer.

What qualifications do you need to sail in Corfu, Greece?

For a bareboat charter in Greece, only one licensed person is required on board. A co-skipper with sailing experience is desired. As there is no specific list of accepted licences issued by the Greek authorities, we would recommend sharing a copy of your sailing licence with us in advance so we can check and advise accordingly.

Is the sea in Corfu warm?

The sea in Corfu remains quite warm year-round with peak temperatures at times reaching 30 °C in August. You can expect 20-25 °C from May until October.

What sea is Corfu in?

Corfu or Kerkyra as the Greeks call her, is one of the main islands of the Ionian Sea and part of the Heptanese. She is located in the Northern part of the Ionian, close to the Albanian coast.

How long should a Corfu sailing holiday be?

It is important to keep in mind that yacht charters in Corfu are offered on a weekly basis from Saturday to Saturday. That means, you can book your sailing holiday for 7,14, 21 days and so on. In rare cases, during low season you may be able to find a boat available with a different turnaround day or for a shorter duration. Please contact our team at [email protected] for more information.

When does the sailing season in Corfu start and end?

Corfu, same as the rest of Greece, has a standard “Mediterranean climate”. Therefore, the sailing season spans from April to October with the high season being during the main summers months of July & August.

Why visit Corfu?

Corfu is a top holiday destination – both for sailing and land based holidays. Around the island you will be stunned by the beautiful scenery blending greens and blues as the cliffs reach down to the emerald waters. Corfu is also an island rich with history and multi-cultural influence. Don’t miss a visit to the old town and a walk through the old fortress, Spianada and Liston square. Achilleion palace is also one of the island’s highlights built by Empress Elisabeth of Austria (known as ‘Sissi’) in 1890. Are you a fan of tasting local food and drinks during your travels? Try the famous limoncello and kumquat liqueurs.

Which is the closest island to Corfu?

Two islands closest to Corfu that we would definitely recommend including in your sailing holiday itinerary, are Paxos and Antipaxos. In Paxos, you can either anchor in the pristine, emerald bay of Lakka or the more cosmopolitan Gaios port – these locations are very close to each other so you can also visit both in one day. In Antipaxos you will be amazed by the crystal clear, turquoise waters of the famous Voutoumi beach; the sea the is so clear that boats look as if they are floating on air.

How long does it take to sail from Corfu to Lefkada?

One-way charters between Corfu and Lefkas are often an option during the beginning or end of the season when the need arises for a yacht to be relocated. These are usually offered without an extra fee and oftentimes with generous discounts. If you request a one-way charter in the middle of the season, you should expect to be asked to pay a one-way fee covering the cost for the yacht to return to the home port.

Sailing from Corfu to Lefkada takes about 10 – 15  hours non-stop. This, of course, depends on the type and size of the boat and the prevailing weather conditions.

Sailing Holidays In Corfu

Corfu – Κέρκυρα – Kerkira is the northest and most important of the Ionian Islands, and is situated only 1 nm away from the coast of Albania and the Greek region of Epirus (mainland Greece). It houses one of the main charter bases for most yacht charter companies, and offers gentle green uplands in the south and rugged limestone hills in the north, rising to 911 m in the double peak of Pantokrator.

Lefkimmi port, is 24 nmi from Paxi, just “around the corner” you will Benitses, where you can moor, and enjoy the local tavernas and amenities. Later on, you can sail towards the famous Pontikonisi(in English “Mouse Island”), and then towards the Old Fort, where there is a marina. You can spend some time admiring the old town of Corfu before heading to the main port where the ferries and cruiseboats dock. Finally, in Gouvia Marina, the first private marina in Greece, you can find a place among more than 1.200 boats, while being close to the airport in case it is your “end station”.

History of Corfu

Τhe present name of the island is believed to derive from the Greek “Koryphi” (meaning “Peak”), which was its name during the medieval period.

From 1386 to 1797 Corfu was held by Venice, thereafter it was briefly part of the Napoleonic empire; and in 1815, along with the rest of the Ionian islands, it was assigned to Britain. It was reunited with Greece in 1864. In the course of its eventful history the island was frequently devastated and plundered, fact that resulted into preserving few relics of ancient or medieval times.

The island’s capital, Corfu (Kerkira), is beautifully situated on a promontory on the east coast, dominated by the Neo Frourio (New Fortress). The ancient city is farther south. Corfu is the seat of both a Greek Orthodox and a Roman Catholic archbishop.

Ports and Local Amenities

The old harbour of Corfu just east of the customs harbour, has the best shelter for the prevailing northwest winds.

Gouvia marina is a major base for skippered, crewed and bareboat yacht charters in the north Ionian sea. The other bases are Lefkas and Preveza, further south.

Gaios is the principal port of Paxos Island. On the islets off the harbour are a Venetian fort and the former Monastery of the Panayia. You can moor right in the middle of the busy touristy scenery of this charming place.

Near Corfu you will find the westernmost place in Greece and largest of the Diapontian Islands, the island of Othoni. There you can discover picturesque villages and ruined Venetian castles, definitely worth visiting.

Paleokastritsa – on the West side of Corfu Island – is a lively and attractive tourist resort dominated by the Monastery of Panayia Theotokos on a high crag. Near the village there are seacaves. From here it is a 1.5 hours climb (with guide; stout footwear required) to the ruined Angelokastro Castle ( with lovely panoramic views). Lots of caves can be reached by tender or RIB.

For those pursuing scenery views, you can climb to the summit of Mount Pantokrator to enjoy the beautiful view of the surroundings and an abandoned monastery of 1347.

The village of Kondokali – adjacent to Gouvia – is nowadays more German or English than Greek. Fortunately, the facilities are excellent. Gouvia is located 5 nm north of Corfu town and features a Venetian arsenal of 1716.

From the harbour you can either go towards the east, passing by the old royal palace, or south-east along Odos Nikiforou, the town’s busy main road.

An attractive excursion from Corfu town is to the villa of Akhillion, 16 km to the south. This Italian Renaissance style villa, situated on an altitude of 145 m, has magnificent gardens and boasts panoramic views. Three kilometres further south, is the charming fishing village of Benitses and its remains of a Roman villa.

The Corfu Yacht Club is usually for member only, but the smaller Naok Yacht Club at the other side of Cape Sidhero has a few berths for visitors.

The Unique Burial of a Child of Early Scythian Time at the Cemetery of Saryg-Bulun (Tuva)

<< Previous page

Pages:  379-406

In 1988, the Tuvan Archaeological Expedition (led by M. E. Kilunovskaya and V. A. Semenov) discovered a unique burial of the early Iron Age at Saryg-Bulun in Central Tuva. There are two burial mounds of the Aldy-Bel culture dated by 7th century BC. Within the barrows, which adjoined one another, forming a figure-of-eight, there were discovered 7 burials, from which a representative collection of artifacts was recovered. Burial 5 was the most unique, it was found in a coffin made of a larch trunk, with a tightly closed lid. Due to the preservative properties of larch and lack of air access, the coffin contained a well-preserved mummy of a child with an accompanying set of grave goods. The interred individual retained the skin on his face and had a leather headdress painted with red pigment and a coat, sewn from jerboa fur. The coat was belted with a leather belt with bronze ornaments and buckles. Besides that, a leather quiver with arrows with the shafts decorated with painted ornaments, fully preserved battle pick and a bow were buried in the coffin. Unexpectedly, the full-genomic analysis, showed that the individual was female. This fact opens a new aspect in the study of the social history of the Scythian society and perhaps brings us back to the myth of the Amazons, discussed by Herodotus. Of course, this discovery is unique in its preservation for the Scythian culture of Tuva and requires careful study and conservation.
