Private Sunset Tour around Corfu Town with Victoria Boat

An Authentic Sunset Adventure: Private Corfu Town Boat Tour with Victoria

Imagine watching the sun dip below the horizon, casting a golden glow over Corfu’s iconic sights from the comfort of a private boat. This 2.5-hour sunset tour takes you from the Old Port of Corfu with a skilled skipper named Victoria (or her crew), navigating crystalline waters to offer a personalized perspective of the island’s beauty. For $565 per group up to 10, you’ll get an intimate, flexible experience designed for lovers, families, or friends seeking a memorable, smaller-scale adventure.

What we really love about this trip is the close-up view of Corfu’s historic landmarks from the water—the Old Fortress’s majestic silhouette and the lush, tiny island of Vido become even more striking from this vantage point. Plus, the chance to relax onboard with complimentary snacks and drinks adds a touch of luxury without breaking the bank. One thing to keep in mind is that, since it’s a sunset experience, weather can influence visibility—so a clear evening makes all the difference. This tour suits those who want a romantic, scenic evening that’s flexible and personal, especially if you appreciate a relaxed, intimate setting over large-group tours.

The Experience Begins: From Corfu’s Old Port to the Blue Waters

Starting from the Old Port of Corfu, we felt immediately immersed in the charm of the island. The boat, Victoria, is a sleek vessel built in 2014 and refitted in 2022, which offers a smooth and comfortable ride at a cruising speed of 28 knots. With a limit of just 10 guests, it’s clear that this is designed for those craving a more intimate and tailored experience.

As we glide out into the sea, the first stop is the tiny, wooded island of Vido, just beyond Corfu’s shores. From here, the views of the town and the fortress walls are picture-perfect—ideal for snapping photos or simply soaking in the scenery. The option to customize your trip means you can spend more or less time at each stop, which is especially appealing if you want to linger or focus on specific sights.

Exploring Corfu’s Coastal Gems and Landmarks

The next highlight is the Old Fortress, a Byzantine-era structure that still exudes an air of nobility. We loved the way the fortress’s silhouette contrasts against the sky, especially when illuminated by the setting sun. Exploring this from the water gives a different perspective that you simply can’t get on land.

Moving past Garitsa Bay, the boat approaches Mouse Island (Pontikonisi), arguably Corfu’s most recognizable symbol. We appreciated how close you could get without the crowds typical of land-based visits. The boat stops just outside the island, giving us a front-row seat to witness the sun’s vibrant red and gold burst over the water—truly a sight to remember.

Following this, we cruised toward Kardaki Beach. Here, you have an opportunity to dip into the crystal-clear waters or simply relax on deck while gazing at the lush landscape. The calm green waters make snorkeling appealing if you’re inclined, and the onboard equipment is ready for use if you’d like.

The Showstopper: Pontikonisi at Sunset

The final stop outside Pontikonisi (Mouse Island) is the highlight of the tour. As the golden hour approaches, the sky darkens into a canvas of reds and oranges, reflecting beautifully on the water. We loved how the boat’s proximity allowed for unobstructed views of this stunning scene, a perfect photo opportunity and a moment of awe.

While watching the sunset, the sight of planes landing in the distance added a lively, authentic touch to the experience. The tour’s relaxed pace means you can sit back, sip a beverage, and take it all in without feeling rushed. The complementary refreshments, including soft drinks, beers, bottled water, and snacks, keep you comfortable and refreshed.
