“This was one of my family’s favorite things that we did on our Mediterranean vacation! It was so relaxing and fun! It was great to see Corfu from the boat instead of being in the middle of it, and our skipper shared so much history and information about what we were seeing. Our skipper was also so hospitable and accommodating! There was plenty to eat and drink onboard, and a taxi was even arranged for us to get us back to our cruise ship on time. We would definitely do this again!”
