Rent a boat in Corfu with or without a skipper

Renting a boat in Corfu with or without a skipper depends on your boating experience and the type of experience you desire. Opting for a skipper is ideal if you have no boating knowledge, as skippers bring local expertise, guiding you to the best spots and hidden gems while ensuring your safety and allowing you to relax without worrying about navigation.

On the other hand, renting without a skipper is suitable for those with a boating license or sufficient experience, offering full control over your itinerary and a more personal, private adventure. This option is perfect for those who enjoy hands-on exploration and potentially lower costs since you won't be paying for a skipper. 

We suggest you to choose a skipper for a stress-free, guided experience, or rent without one for more freedom and adventure. Regardless of your choice, booking in advance, especially during peak season, will help secure the best rates and availability.
