Meeting Point
Your meeting point will be at Gouvia Marina in Corfu.
Your Yacht Getaways crew will be ready to meet you there on Saturday at 2 pm, and you should be able to board your yacht directly. Once onboard you can get settled and complete the safety briefing before departure by 4 pm.
Your Skipper and Host will contact you via email 3 days in advance of your holiday to share their contact details, as well as more detailed information about the meeting point – If you have not received anything by this time please contact the office.
For early arrivals, luggage drop-off is available near the marina. Links to these drop-off locations will be provided in the email from your crew.
If you are running late or struggling to find the meeting point, please don’t hesitate to call or email your Skipper and Host using the details provided by them in your welcome email.
We highly recommend downloading WhatsApp as the primary communication tool with your crew.
Your yacht will return to Gouvia Marina in Corfu between 1 pm and 3 pm on the following Friday and you can check out by 5 pm.
Getting There
Gouvia Marina is 10 km from Corfu International Airport and only 15 minutes from Corfu town centre. Public transport is available on the island of Corfu, but timetables can be irregular, so we recommend a taxi as the best way to get to your departure point.

Before You Go
Boat Life
Cleaner Seas
At Yacht Getaways, we’re passionate about keeping the seas we sail pristine. Even small choices can make a big difference in protecting our marine environment for future generations.
SAIL RESPONSIBLY
Bringing a reusable water bottle helps cut down on single-use plastics, and using a reusable tote bag while shopping reduces waste.
ECO-CONSCIOUS ESSENTIALS
Choosing reef-safe sun cream and biodegradable toiletries ensures marine life stays safe, while avoiding products with microplastics helps protect the ocean’s delicate ecosystem.
SUPPORT LOCAL COMMUNITIES
Supporting local communities by dining at family-run restaurants, shopping at small markets, and choosing sustainable excursions enriches your travel experience while giving back to the places we visit.
By making mindful choices, we can all enjoy an incredible adventure while keeping our ocean as pristine as possible and clean for our future guests (and generations)!
Route Activities
All optional activities are organised and paid for during the week in the local currency.
