We booked an 8-hour private charter with Balos Yachts to explore the stunning beaches and hidden gems around Corfu—and it ended up being one of the absolute highlights of our trip! The yacht was incredibly comfortable and well-equipped, with top-notch amenities, delicious food, and refreshing wine throughout the day.
Our skipper was not only experienced and knowledgeable about the area’s history and geography but also incredibly kind and patient with our 8-year-old daughter—keeping her engaged and entertained while allowing us to truly relax and enjoy the ride.
They took us to a secluded cave where we could swim through crystal-clear waters, and one of my favorite moments was watching my husband and daughter jump off the front of the boat together—completely carefree and just being kids. It was pure joy.
Pro tip: If you’re considering booking, we highly recommend doing it directly through their website (balosyachtscorfu.com). We originally booked through Viator, and unfortunately, they sent us to the wrong meeting point, which could have easily been avoided by booking direct.
Overall, this was a magical and memorable day. If you're visiting Corfu and want to experience the island from the sea, Balos Yachts is a must!
