Saranda–Corfu Private Yacht Day

Two countries, one day, one private yacht

Two shores

At its narrowest, the strait between Corfu and Albania is two nautical miles wide — less than the length of Corfu Town's seafront. Our signature yacht day treats it as what it really is: a single body of water linking two rivieras, crossed in minutes on a private, crewed yacht departing from either shore.

The day

From Corfu, you board at Corfu Town or Kassiopi and cross with the morning calm: coffee on deck as the Albanian mountains sharpen ahead. First swim off the Ksamil islets, then a slow pass along the Butrint lagoon before lunch — either on board at anchor or at a waterfront table arranged by our concierge in Saranda.

The afternoon reverses the postcard: back across the strait to Corfu's northeast coast for a final swim in Agni or Avlaki bay, and a sunset return. From Saranda, the same day runs mirror-image, with the Corfiot coves as the away leg.

Why it needs a concierge

This is an international crossing, and that is exactly why almost nobody offers it privately: border formalities, port fees and vessel clearances on both sides need to be prepared before you cast off. Our team handles all of it in advance — you bring passports and swimwear.

We match the vessel to your party: sport motor yacht for range, catamaran for families, gulet for the slow version. Every option is crewed.

Rates on request — every day is quoted individually by our concierge.
