Yacht & boat charter in Saranda.

Saranda is where the Albanian coast is best boarded. Its marina is the Riviera's charter harbour — gulets for multi-day cruises, motor yachts and RIBs for day runs — and the launch point for the water most travellers never reach: Kakome and Krorëza to the north, beaches with no road, and the Ksamil islets and Butrint channel to the south.

We arrange the boat to the day. A skippered RIB for a fast morning at the islets; a motor yacht for a full day of coves and lunch at anchor; a gulet for a multi-day cruise toward Corfu and Paxos. In peak season the good skippered boats book several days ahead — the earlier we know, the better the boat.

Saranda's other advantage is that it is the corridor's hinge: the same marina that sends you to the coves also sends the private crossing to Corfu. Pair a boat day with a villa above the bay and the whole trip runs from one harbour.
