Leave Benitses Marina at 10:00 and head south into open Ionian water. This is a private charter, the yacht is yours for the day, with a dedicated crew of two and an open bar on board from the moment you cast off.
Your first stop is a sea cave on the western side of the Epirus coastline. The water inside turns electric blue as sunlight filters through the limestone, and the cave is only reachable by boat, you won't share it with a tour group of 80 people.
From there, you cruise to Pisina Beach near Mourtos, its name means “pool,” and the water earns it. Calm, clear, enclosed by cliffs. Good for a first swim and a long float while the crew tops up your drinks.
Next stop is Agios Nikolaos island and the secluded cove at Diapori Beach. No road access, no beach bars, no crowds. Just the boat, the water, and your group.
You'll anchor in Sivota village for an hour. Walk the waterfront, explore the small harbour, or stay on the boat with a cold beer. For lunch, the crew can take you to a local seaside restaurant on the south side of Sivota with views across to Paxos, only reachable from the water.
The final swim of the day is at Bella Vraka Bay, where a sandbar connects a small island to the Greek mainland. The water is shallow and warm, and you can walk across to the island. It's one of those places that genuinely looks like a screensaver, except you're in it.
The return to Benitses follows the Corfu coast at sunset. On board throughout the day: finger food, fresh fruit, Greek wine, cold beers, soft drinks, towels, SUP, inflatable toys and snorkelling equipment, all included.
